I have a cup just like this that I use to add wood shavings to my compost toilet.

This picture makes me uncomfortable.

No wonder your nipples are dusty.

Shovels... Tile Slates. I miss WeWantPlates but not going back to reddit for it.

Apparently we haven't worked out the perfect receptacle for eating ice cream so a flat tile has been proven to be the optimal way to eat it... just like famously we eat pasta from mugs...?

I'm surprised there's no Lemmy/Kbin version of it yet. I'm missing it :(

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On a cold winter day, I like to cozy up by the fireplace with a blanket and a piping hot mug of macaroni

[–] needthosepylons 1 points 1 year ago

Made me laugh, thank you !

You asked, I give! Here it is in all of it's pre-content glory: [email protected]

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 2 points 1 year ago

Oh man, I forgot about that one lol

kitch factor/ Instagramable content

[–] STRIKINGdebate2 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Instagram revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the culinary industry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Impracticality and Instagramability >>> Functionality /s

Seriously, can't we just focus on the food rather than fancy excuses for plates?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

You do realize it's actually easier to eat macaroni that way right you don't have little pieces running away from you so it's easier to eat every last bit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is nowhere near the worst that I've seen in WeWantPlates.

[–] JesusTheCarpenter 3 points 1 year ago

Indeed. The "best" one was a chocolate mousse/spread served on a toilet.

[–] Crow 8 points 1 year ago

I usually eat like this at home when there’s no clean bowl.

[–] ConditionOverload 7 points 1 year ago

I would appreciate this if this was a drive through order and you're somehow eating on the go. But at a sit-down restaurant... This is annoying.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's also a good way to look like you got a lot of food when you really didn't.

[–] FatLegTed 7 points 1 year ago

That'll be easy to eat. A handle to hold it and if you use a spoon, dead easy to scoff the lot.

[–] sorenant 6 points 1 year ago

They can charge more and laugh at you.

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

Requesting a /c/wewantplates! ... lol.

[–] Insig 6 points 1 year ago

They do that because the plates are occupied with the soup atm.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

So that people give them free advertising by taking pictures and putting it on their social media.

And so that the kind of people who post photos of their food on social media will come there for the pictures, not the food.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Stop your whinging and drink your macaroni, Carl.

[–] Smoogs 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because apparently we are animals with muzzles. I’d ask for a plate and then dump it onto the plate in front of them and be like “see? Not that hard”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Could be worse, like a funnel or something decorative that's not dishwasher safe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

"Hey Bob, I've run out of pasta bowls... Where should I put this macaroni, on a plate or somethin?"
"Nah man, watch this!"

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

Is the bowl hot? Is the handle less hot?

Maybe it's so you can drag the bowl around without touching the hot bit. ... Kinda like the handle on a cup of hot tea/coffee/cocoa?

[–] Dick_Justice 2 points 1 year ago

Someone threw all the plates away in the forest

[–] Boiglenoight 1 points 1 year ago

That's frustrating to look at.

[–] smellythief 1 points 1 year ago

It'll stay hot longer with less surface area exposed to the open air compared to a bowl, which you might've been expecting. Mug > bowl > plate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Because nobody got time to clean the dishes. Only mugs left.
