Tbf, we get tons of practice. Ever seen a toddler feed themselves? Food goes everywhere but their mouth.
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Seriously. "Instinctual". There's a reason forks for children are super blunt - they do jab themselves in the face. Constantly.
It's interesting how little credit people give to the 5+ years we all take just to get the "basics". Walking, talking, eating, socializing, etc. It's all a matter of years of repetition/practice.
Was gonna say they never met my 2yo.
Meanwhile, we've all had even more experience chewing than using any particular utensil, and yet fucking cheeks and tongues get bit
I'm much more likely to stab myself in the teeth than the fleshy part of the face.
Listen, one of my lower right teeth got its start on the road to ruin because it was the most likely "didn't stop in time" point for fork usage.
There were other factors at play, sure, but accidentally stabbing a tooth once every couple of months really doesn't help.
I could blame the weird cutlery my parents switched to around the time my adult teeth were fresh, but just plain clumsiness can't be ruled out.
Oof. I use the fork sideways - the pointy bits never go directly at my face. I'd never thought about why until this post.
Gobble up your food directly from the plate or from the bowl. Dogs do it all the time.
No fork, no wounds.
Woof! Haha I'm contributing
I get that way with my bike sometimes. I’ll start thinking about how to take this section of downhill track instead of just doing it and then i crash because i overthunk it.
