Much more accurate.
Or Y or D
Or A
Funny, i seem to have worked in software dev so long, that my brain started working like a simple loop.
Run until condition fails, then exit. never check the rest. :)
The knife does not mesh well with the others unless you enjoy cutting your mouth up. There's a reason we only have the spork.
Don't bring a splayd to a spork fight.
how is there ALWAYS a relevant xkcd I swear
There needs to one about that.
Is there a relevant xkcd for bofa?
What's XKCD
Ah, blessed be the almighty Foon. Nameless Mod was a absolute ride, I should replay it.
Why is there a "L" in splayd?
Or any of the letters after "L" for that matter...
Where on earth do they get the 'AYD' from?
Seems like spifk, sporf, or knorkoon might be more sensible.
I'm unsure if the original inventor is still alive for you to ask that question, but let us know the answer if you do get it.
I would guess because it sounds kind of like blade just spelled differently
Okay, so we have SpoonBlade, but where's the Fork?
Sp'Flayed?
There's also this version
which app is this?
Looks like discord with a green background
Sir Slice-and-Spear!
Fun fact: The Splayd was invented in Australia
This checks out, mum gave me a set of splayds when I moved out of home and we're Australian. I love them but my fiance refuses to use them.
Your fiance knows neither taste nor balance.
Well, I can at least claim that I can legitimately claim an oft-unused spot on this diagram through being one of the probably select few who has ever put an edge on a spoon.
Look, some of us have a brand to maintain, you know?
Also, perhaps now is a good time to dredge up this.
I appreciate your service
Spife up your life
Does anyone know where I could get a knork and spife set? We're too lazy to grab a knife from the draw so just use the side of the regular utensils anyways
The spife would be a grapefruit spoon
Knork has some possibilities though, I might have to prototype one with a Dremel.
The knork is a dessert/cake fork.
Perennial camping-stuff manufacturer Light My Fire do indeed make a Knork, which is the first example that leapt to my mind. They may call it a "spork" but the fork end has a (butter-grade) knife edge machined into one side of it. As an added bonus, you get a whole entire unmolested spoon on the other end, too. Anyone who is cool enough to count would surely get the titanium version, which may just barely achieve enough rigidity to actually cut anything.
I used to have one but I lent it to somebody for a camping trip -- damned if I remember who -- and never got it back. Oh well.
The knife is barely there because it's supposed to be a convenience thing. Anything tough means the pocket knife comes out.
And almost certainly so that uncoordinated users don't slice the insides of their cheeks.
What? Heresy!
You didn't lend it to me, don't check. My fiancée found a couple of knorks in the same style, because she's long suffering. She flatly refused buying them for daily use though. Some people hate progress I swear. So I'm looking for dining table appropriate aesthetics, despite us not having a dining room table.
I use one of these to eat lunch at work without having to store/carry two utensils. I have never used the knife, but I do find the double sided spoon fork combo very useful, even if it does draw a little chiding from my coworkers.
