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.

[-] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

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

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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

This copypasta ruined sporks for me. Now I ruin them for you.

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

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Missed opportunity to use the term "gender tines"

[-] wasabi@feddit.org 22 points 1 month ago

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

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 11 points 1 month ago

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

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago

secret third gender

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

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Enkrod@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah, I want my language to be satanic!

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

German is probably a fair choice then.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Which gender do sporks land in?

[-] weker01@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month 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.

[-] myslsl@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

The humble knifoon remains forgotten :(

[-] qupada@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago

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 :)

[-] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago
[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] swab148@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

When you fork with a knook

[-] jxk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago
[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Spifes have made it to the UK too.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Where are they getting the L, A, Y, and D from? Stoopid!

[-] qupada@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Wikipedia suggests "spknork" as an alternative, which is too many consonants in a row

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splayd

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

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

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month 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.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

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".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork 🙃

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

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

Satanic spork

Toutetsu Yuuma's idle sprite from Touhou 19

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

How about we don't give utensils genders?

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 month ago

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@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Or he (il/le bateau) in French.

Just to fuck with the bri'ish I bet.

[-] Deway@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month 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.

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

A symbol with almost as much backstory as the Union Jack

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] i_dont_want_to 4 points 1 month ago

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

spork

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

Although these were in the sales bin, going out.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

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

Everyone knows that the devil's actual utensil is that unholy threek.

Live long and prosper

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago
[-] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

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

I say burn the heretic!

[-] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

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