My mother saw 15 seconds of an episode of Digimon episode and decided it was satanic. Pokemon too. She banned that entire channel on Saturday mornings.

In digimon season ...6? Gabumon was crucified. There's also a whole category of demon lords.

[–] TootSweet 11 points 2 weeks ago

This incident happened during season 1 if that gives any more context.

In Pokemon, you can keep God as a slave to do your bidding.

Oh no I thought I was about to make a new friend. This bait and switch stings.

Missed opportunity to use the term "gender tines"

[–] edgemaster72 22 points 2 weeks ago

Forks are bi as hell, they penetrate and have their gaps filled in turn.

[–] myslsl 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The humble knifoon remains forgotten :(

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

These plastic things have been coming in the package when you buy kiwifruit (at least here in NZ) for yonks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGN35968

Some debate though as to whether that's a knifoon or a 'spife' though :)

I already regularly use forks to cut things, knork makes perfect sense to me.

Spifes have made it to the UK too.

In german forks are feminine and spoons are masculine. I hope speaking German isn't satanic for having trans-utensils.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

In romanian, both are feminine and knives are the secret third gender

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

secret third gender

Sounds awesome. At what level of the game is it unlocked?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

In French they're both feminine and knives are masculine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, I want my language to be satanic!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

German is probably a fair choice then.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It sounds Satanic but when you actually hear Satanic chants/rites/etc. they're usually in Latin. If someone were to make a language that mixed Germanic and Romance sources, then, it would truly be the language of evil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

If such an abomination exists, then I have some very good news for you and other Anglophones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Which gender do sporks land in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

In German it's called "Der Göffel" a mix of "Der Löffel" (spoon) and "Die Gabel" (fork). So it's masculine from the Löffel part.

It's funny how the word mix is backwards in German/English. English has fork at the end of the word and German spoon.

[–] dohpaz42 19 points 2 weeks ago

From the very beginning, God has held us back and punished us for trying to reach our full potential. Satan, on the other hand, has only tried to give us truth and knowledge.

Hmm. Come to think of it, that explains a lot of Christian Conservatism.

Hail Satan.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

for many years [the fork] was viewed as an unmanly Italian affectation. Some writers of the Roman Catholic Church expressly disapproved of its use; St. Peter Damian seeing it as "excessive delicacy".

I eat with my hooves, and I never wash, due to all this manliness I’m serving

How about we don't give utensils genders?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Who are you, the British Empire, coming to colonize and suppress noun gender??

I’ll have you know that you will never* remove gender from waterborne vessels on Wikipedia. None of them is referred to as “it”; all are referred to as “she”.

[–] Valmond 5 points 2 weeks ago

Or he (il/le bateau) in French.

Just to fuck with the bri'ish I bet.

[–] mcqtom 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it toxic that I kind of agree with her? The main difference being that "satanic" is a compliment in my world.

[–] Deway 7 points 2 weeks ago

First, this is not a "spork" but a Fpoon.

Then as others have pointes it out, other languages give them different gender. In French, a spoon and a fork are feminine nouns. So this is also a lesbian icon.

[–] Dasus 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I just bought a set of four from Ikea the others day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm, I don't think I've ever noticed outie sporks. Mine is an innie, like this one.

spork

[–] Dasus 1 points 2 weeks ago

A curious choice by Ikea designers, but that's what they get paid for.

Although these were in the sales bin, going out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They look insufficiently sharp to do the fork part of their job

Most spells I cast recommend I first scissor my sporks, too

Ok, but why is the fork male and the spoon female

In Germany, where we arbitrarily gender any noun, it is the exact opposite

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Prongs are phallic and bowl shapes are yonic, I can see the vision

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Next to the portable outhouse, the spork is God's greatest gift to mankind!

I say burn the heretic!

[–] NONE_dc 3 points 2 weeks ago

Funny enough, I always associated forks with femenine and spoons with masculine, don't know why.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Btw, does the bible say anything at all about mixed gender or transgender?
