If ease-of-consumption is all that counts, just make smoothies out of everything.

It’s easier to eat rice from a bowl with a spoon than chopsticks imho

It's easier to eat salad by putting your face in the bowl and chomping away.

Source: I am a cow and I won several local salad eating competitions.

When I'm alone I eat salads with my bare hands if there's no dressing on it. But when I'm in proper company with people I have to socially adapt and I'm required to use utensils.

Society sucks, cows are cool. salad is a way of life, not a 'side dish'

radish!

Hard disagree. You can shovel most salads with a fork so unless you've got the plate up to your face and you're sliding the salad in like you would do with a bowl of rice and chopsticks then it's fork all day

Sounds like your stabbing skills are sub-par

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Chopsticks would definitely be well-suited to some, but there are many kinds of salads, so YMMV.

A spoon or soup spoon can also work best with some...

The only thing for which I have found that to be true is sushi. Everything else is way easier with a fork.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

100%. I recently had to use a fork somewhere and it felt so unwieldy.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

What kind of salad is easier to eat with chopsticks than a fork?

[-] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Speak for yourself, I use a spoon

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

this is truth, specially leaves and awkward flappy stuff, although there are some slippery salads out there

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

You're supposed to use your knife too.

Only if you are good with chopsticks.

[-] Wolf314159@startrek.website 0 points 1 month ago

Good news! Eating things like salad, chips/crisps, fried rice, noodle dishes, ramen, etc. is a great way to get good with chopsticks.

And the dog will love all the dropped items. Win win!

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
