It was on the counter just like that. Pretty sure I would have noticed this immediately if it was like that when I put it there last night. I live alone... I'm just really confused.

Never seen an Italian fork?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

What's even weirder is it used to be a spoon

[-] SuluBeddu@feddit.it 5 points 2 days ago

Oh this is our sign Vulcans are here 🖖, checking on us before our First Contact

[-] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 55 points 3 days ago

It is not the fork that bends, it is only yourself.

[-] Vitaly@feddit.uk 15 points 3 days ago

How is bro contacting us from the matrix

I am not sure if this is a joke. Most commentators seem to perceive it this way. But just in case I will answer seriously.

This was done by a human:

  • your kid (you said you live alone, so not this one)
  • your guests
  • someone uninvited (but it makes no sense for them to leave this)
  • you in a way you cannot remember.

I will expand on that last one since no one has done it: Do you have an issue with substance abuse? Do you have issues with your memory? Do you have any psychiatric issues? Your other personality could to this if you have a dissociative identity disorder. Check symptoms and pay attention on similar events. If this keeps happening go see a doctor.

I get my kid on the weekend but that was a week night. Haven't had guests over in a few weeks. Nothing else missing or messed with. No,no, and no.

I'm leaning into the drawer one, that it just got smashed in there somehow and I didn't notice, but they're significant forks, not cheap crap or anything.

I also really hope my suggestions are just bullshit. Especially since those have the worst implications. But I would still be watching out for similar events. Just in case :)

Dude, I've been so confused and bored with nothing to do that Ive considered some kind of electro-magnetic anomaly. My electrical system is old as shit. But I have it rigged to high powered modern electronics. Eventually I gave up on it and figured it's probably something mundane and gave up on figuring it out or honestly caring. It's one fork. Big deal. Honestly at this point if it's kids in the matrix trying to communicate with me, that'd be great lol. But I probably just didn't notice I smashed it in the drawer.

Get a carbon monoxide detector. Maybe that?

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 36 points 3 days ago

Your fork is a vulcan, live long and prosper 🖖

[-] SillyDude@lemmy.zip 26 points 3 days ago

You're standing over ground water and should drill a well there

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That must be one helluva water source to get it to cross fork tines.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh how funny, I was just talking out loud to myself yesterday about dowsing even though I've never dowsed before, just learned about it by staring at screens.

[-] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 days ago

Are you in the Portland area? I’ve been robbing apartments and this is my calling card. If you haven’t yet, you miiight want to check your closets and safes.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

The forky bandit?

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago
[-] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago

Probably someone trying to imitate me, then.

[-] prex@aussie.zone 13 points 3 days ago

TIL that Caketaco, the Portland forkbender, has an international fanbase.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Please tell us you leave cakes and tacos as your calling cards too.

[-] Greg@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago

A Vulcan 🖖

[-] _lilith@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

definitely ghosts. Next time it happens say "Ha ha very funny Jerry, now quit fucking with the forks" if he does it again call him a nerd

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I agree, my opinion is ghosts too.

[-] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Could you have pushed something aside, unintentionally wedging the fork between two objects?

If it got wedged in the right way, the tines could bend like that.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Hmm possibly? But I haven't had the drawer be tough to open recently.

[-] z3k3lon@lemmy.pt 16 points 3 days ago
[-] Teh@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Do you have a sink grinder/disposal? If it fell down there and turned on, that could do it, but I think the poster that mentioned it getting caught in a drawer is probably the best bet.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I don't, but also I would imagine that would leave marks on the tines.

I cast James Randi.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It looks perfect for jamming into power outlets

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 3 days ago

I've seen a dishwasher bend tines before. Mostly if they're cheap, thin forks and you put them tines down in the dishwasher. Forks go tines up.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Don't have a dishwasher.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Are you a Jedi and you used the fork?

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

May the fork be with him.

You should pick up the phone and call the professionals

Just atlantic cod. They've been watching me but I'm onto them!

[-] whitecollarcry@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

a fidgety heroin addict off by 1

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Got caught in the drawer.

[-] Chaser@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

I guess a thumb and a pointing finger. Maybe a prank by one of your friends?

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

do you have a child?

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Asimic attraction.

Ooo, ooo, I know this one—carbon dioxide!

[-] offspec@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago
[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Everybody check your carbon dioxide alarms 😂, they'd be beeping 24/7 in ideal circumstances. How annoying that would be.

Uri Geller?
