... eating ice cream directly from the pint.

It always destroys spoons eventually, might as well use ones too sharp, too tinny, too light, the wrong shape, or with just the wrong bend in them already.

Edit: for all the head scratchers out there, it's a trait some of us neurodivergent folks have. Some forks or spoons or whatever are nice to hold, and some are actually upsetting to use.

I don't ruin my utensils. Can't relate.

Dare I ask what the bad spoon draw is?

Mans over here buying spoons made out of aluminum foil apparently

How are you destroying your spoons? You shouldn’t eat it straight from the deep freezer, gotta let it warm up in the fridge freezer first.

And that’s still too cold, so let it sweat at room temp for 5 minutes. You should be able to eat it with wood spoon if it’s good ice cream.

The hell is this bending spoons?

The reason we didn't have Alakazam in some Pokemon media? Screw that guy.

But it's better when it's deep cold. People just need to get sturdier utensils.

What? The colder something is, the more it freezes your tastebuds. So the less you taste, if you like not tasting stuff, go right ahead.

Might as well drink melted icecream then

Milkshakes are delicious.

Uri Geller wants to know your location for copyright infringement. You and Pokémon Kadabra both

Imo

If your ice cream is that hard, microwave your pint of ice cream for about 45 seconds on 50% it'll still be frozen, but be completely scoopable. At least around the outsides and top.

Also, if you own starter silverware that's soft that you can bend it. Go spend a few bucks and pick up a new set and yardsale, recycle, or trash the old set

We should all pitch in and send this person some company born out of a cult flatware.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
