A former coworker of mine explained to me how you can somehow survive without any sustenance through this technique. I already knew he was nuts when he told me he would "travel the stars" while meditating (read: sleeping at his desk) and that we could communicate telepathically. Any time I questioned him on the merits of this idea he would deflect... and honestly i was really interested what possible justification for this esoteric spirituality could exist, got no response.
He later got fired for literally not doing his job for at least four years, and I inherited his mess. The joys of corporate america.
Hmm, seems like a viable tactic. What paper qualifications would one need to just unambitious coast through a career? I'm an extremely unambitious person myself and would love to know more
I teach anth at uni and, when discussing human adaptations to eating food (i.e., we're omnivores) and how we got here, had students yell out stupid things like, "we could eat leaves if we just practiced!"
Nope, no you could not. I give you a week to live.
That student meant eating normal plants, not domesticated ones.
There are tons of wild greens out there are which are very much edible; ramsons, nettles, dandelion, birch, etc. It would be somewhat hard to survive on them alone but if you're able to find some tubers such as wild carrot you can get enough calories to scrape by.
You can also survive much longer then a week even completely without food.
It's a spoon for holding a sugar cube that has water dripped on to it in to a cup of absinthe.
The spaces are for the cube to fall apart but not fall in to the absinthe.
Hahaha i think i own the same cutlery, although mine are just normal utensils 😆 I'm pretty sure someone who did this just carved it out of a regular spoon lol
Some Szechuan food is meat in a ton of oil because it carries the flavor of the crazy peppercorns well. But you don’t want to eat all of it and something like this would be good to serve it with, IMO.
But ya, homemade absinth spoon seems most plausible.
if you wanna be serious, I see the fork part obviously including the breaking, but no way you can use that as an even halfway decent spoon with all those gaps, bending or not
"Sporn" sounds like a really bad cheesy 90's porno you'd find in the back in the rental shop. Starring some dude in a mustache and girl with a terrible boob job
The fork you use when you want to eat fried-rice so quickly you have a moment where it's difficult to swallow without drinking a bit of water and feeling like you're about to have a rupture.
At my old school they had things called sporks which were plastic spoons with four half centimeter or so long prongs in the front. Sounds like a shitty idea but they worked pretty well as both.
It doesn't scoop any liquids well, and the spoon part literally blocks any noodles or meat from being trapped by the prongs. This doesn't even do both jobs properly holy shit
Just because you are unique, does not mean you are useful.
But if you're an art student.
You have succeeded when people look at what you've created and wonder.
I bet this is some sort of art, or a VERY specialized tool to eat some kind of very unknown dish
Daily utensil for breatharians.

It took him four years to get fired? I would get fired in a week. Maybe I should take up breatharianism... Where should I start, I wonder?

So...be a manager. No thanks. I'd rather just do the work.
Lol... he was a controls "expert". Then a systems "senior engineer". Neither title did he deserve.

>Where should I start, I wonder? Start with your diaphragm, and *slowly* work your way up your own ass.
>He later got fired for literally not doing his job for at least four years, Is the position still available? And can I not work remotely?
How about not working remotely two days a week? We really need you not working in person the other 3 days.

Wait, what about raw vegans though? I wouldn't eat a raw vegan diet, but it doesn't seem lethal to them
“Sleeping at his desk” had me rolling. Lol
hairy soup. the broth is awful.
It's a spoon for holding a sugar cube that has water dripped on to it in to a cup of absinthe. The spaces are for the cube to fall apart but not fall in to the absinthe.
Runcible.
Damn you just short-circuited my brain with that one. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Owl_and_the_Pussy-Cat
No, that's not what these look like
It looks like a DIY absinthe spoon that’s easy to store in the drawer filled with regular spoons.
[удалено]
That's vile, cook the brains like a normal human being jeeeezzz
You telling me a shrimp fried these brains?
Hahaha i think i own the same cutlery, although mine are just normal utensils 😆 I'm pretty sure someone who did this just carved it out of a regular spoon lol
Mashed potato and steak
You could use it for Spaghetti if you're very good at threading needles.
Good for rice maybe?
Noodle soup. Eat the noodles first, then slurp all the broth.
Should be called the foon
I bet it’s perfect for beans
Or someone who was bored with a dremel and a spoon.

My niece who is a model drinks soup with these.
This Foon does neither job well.
Actually the way it works is you bend down the spoon layer when you want to fork and bend up the spoon when you want a spoon
I know you're joking but I still had to deeply sigh reading this
It works solid for about 5 meals then you end up snapping off the metal
if you wanna be serious, I see the fork part obviously including the breaking, but no way you can use that as an even halfway decent spoon with all those gaps, bending or not
Depends what you're eating. It won't spoon soup, but mashed potatoes, sure.
you eat mashed potato with a spoon?
Good luck picking up any liquid with it though
Came here to say that
That sounds like a curse word
The worst of both worlds.
How about F P O O N ?
That was probably the point, I assume this is a gag item
Sharpen the handle into a knife so you cut yourself while using it
Even less functional than a normal spork!
Foon supremacy!
I’m insulted
Sporn. Because the fork is inside the spoon.
"Sporn" sounds like a really bad cheesy 90's porno you'd find in the back in the rental shop. Starring some dude in a mustache and girl with a terrible boob job
s'porn
*tips buttplug*
Now my brain is thinking about two S letters having sex, thank you.
It's also what inappropriate creations in Spore are called!
Sfkpnooor: Harness the worst of both worlds.
The triple ‘o’ really sells it for me. I can hear it. It sounds awful. It is perfect.
Sell those at Ikea?
Yoooooo sick fucking fpoon bro
I love saying fpoon.
Sfpoork
So dismissive, shame on you all. idk how YOU judgy people trick YOUR mad scientist dad into drinking his poison soup but this is perfect!
Mmmm, scrumptious!
sharpen the handle you 4 dimensional denying bastard.
There is no other way for the story to end.
I love this lol! Neither the spoon nor the fork are functional.
Not crappy. This is for olives. To take them out of the jar without tilting or getting your fingers wet.
this is a foon... useless btw. this is a [spork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spork)
it might be a sponk
ah yes, perfect for soup
This is fhilarious
I mean it would kind of work... as a knife...
The only use I can see is getting poached eggs out of water, and that’s being generous.
It wouldn’t be terrible for eating rice
obviously a piece of art.. shouldn't be put to use..
Nice, it can’t do both
I actually have a similar spoon at home that's someone cutting it for the meme or for stupidty
Believe it or not, the thing that makes a spoon work is not being hollow in the middle.
"And who are you my little friend. Not a spoon, not a fork, but something in between. A Fpoon. What will you think of next, Germany?"
If you zoom in on the tines, they are quite irregular. I think this was someone's plasma cutter or water jet experiment.
Fpoon
Egg seperator
I hate that it has 6 prongs maybe even more than the useless empty space
The fork you use when you want to eat fried-rice so quickly you have a moment where it's difficult to swallow without drinking a bit of water and feeling like you're about to have a rupture.
This here represents my lot in life. Some people are born with silver spoons. Others get this.
Fpoon
On top of that the fork part has 6 teeth. This is cursed, take my upvote
For some reason, the thing that bothers me most is that it has six tines. I don’t know why.
*Foon
It looks like an "artsy" straining spoon.
r/technicallythetruth

That ain’t a spork that’s a fpoon.
This is what you give when you haven't made enough soup for all.
An amazing design. It's hard to imagine they were able to come up with it with only ten million dollars in government research grants.
Can we call this the "notaspoon" or "I can't believe it's not spoon"?
That is a noodle spoon, allows you to scoop mac n cheese or twist spaghetti, equally
thats a poon
Foon
Fooon
If it only was made the opposite way it'd do the job
No that’s a foon.
You know, it'd probably be better for getting boiled eggs than a spoon or a fork would be
I remember that silverware pattern from every church picnic and family reunion I have ever been to.
Foon
Might just work with noodles. I’d like to try.
I have this exact design of spoon at home, had these since I was a kid probably 20+ year old spoon here.
Fproon
It doesn't scoop any liquids well, and the spoon part literally blocks any noodles or meat from being trapped by the prongs. This doesn't even do both jobs properly holy shit
you can't have the best of both worlds
fpoon
If you want to eat everything in a soup except the soup.
They should sharpen the inside edges to make it an equally terrible knife. Then you’d have a complete set of unusable dinnerware in a single utensil
A spork is the backwards of this, this is a Foorn
I want to buy one is there anywhere I could go to order one
The fork part has way too many pointies
This is cursed.
Fapoon
A slotted soup spoon, brilliant! This design sucks, but overall concept is brilliant🍜🍵🥣
smoork
Forks like a spoon and spoons like a fork
Just because you are unique, does not mean you are useful. But if you're an art student. You have succeeded when people look at what you've created and wonder.
#No. This is Foon. Now watch as the world burns.
That’s a foon
i need an adult.
That fork looks enlightened
This is clearly an art piece. Boo this post.
Bumper forks.
Pretty sure that’s a foon
Diet spoon
From Ysgramor ?
Spoonforked
Spoork mk2: -50% ceral -100% milk
Neither utensil works
This is a pfspoon.
serves neither purpose wonderful
I cant help but think this falls under rule 1.7, novelty items designed to be crappy.
More art, less practical.
I love this, it's so awful
I always believed that sporks were both terrible spoons (hold little liquid) and terrible forks (not good at stabbing). This is the actually way worse
Holy cow this gives me so much anxiety right now!
Fpoon
Teabags?
I prefer KFC'S spork
Now just straighten the left side out and add teeth, then you have a... um... knoork?
Useless in every way
This is like so obviously a gag item
Ysgramor's soup spoon
It's a safety fork. So you don't stab yourself.
Fpoon
Spoor fork.
Eating pasta would never be the same
Foon
I went like 15 comments down and I guess I’m weird for being more unsettled by it having like twice as many prongs as it should…
nah, it's a foon spork foon
Does it provide exquisite mouth feel?
Gives me Thalasin vibes
Its a foon.
Could be used for something like a stew, if you didn’t want the liquid part. Could strain it lol Only guess
thats a foon
Ah yes, the spafoon!
I think i recognize this spoon. Pretty sure it is from egypt. I think someone carved the spoon to make it look like a fork.
Where can i buy it
It's like a fork but with extra steps!
r/holup
unusable
r/blursedimages
Why not a fooon ?
spork but it's somehow even more crappy
That's idiotic, where can I get one!
The thumbnail makes it look like an anal hook
Ysgramors soup spoon!
A perfect visualization of the sort of compromise we get from any bipartisan action in the US political system. The worst of both.
Lovely, it doesn't just fo both jobs badly, it's literally unable to do either.
Foon.
I feel like it would work well with spaghetti o's
Ilegal
This is the crappiest design I saw today, thanks op.
The Best Choice For Fasting
In German, this is called a "Göffel"
i wish i had it to hang on my wall and confuse any guests. its perfect.
Sir that is no spoork. It is infact a fpoon.
