Is there a relevant xkcd for bofa?
What’s XKCD
You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.
splayd? where the Fuck is the L comming from?
Why is there a “L” in splayd?
Or any of the letters after “L” for that matter…
There’s also this version
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.
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.
I own multiple knorks. I like their balance and construction: https://a.co/d/drHe7uh
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.
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.
“Do you wanna know how I got theses scars?! Google spife” roll credits
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!
