only bug people still use them, you'd have to be a complete idiot or hipster to unironically use them in 2018

>>11504542
The pivot point is one's own competency and dexterity

>>11504542
Actually tongs are tricycles for culinary toddlers

>>11504547
what if I ironically use them every time I'm at a sushi restaurant in 2018

>>11504542
t. went to the sushi joint with friends and was embarrassed about being the only one in the restaurant who can't use them

let me see those toooongs, tatong tatongtongtong

>>11504542
>shitty deadend genetics and flubby fatfingers don't let me use chopsticks, so nobody can!

>>11504542
>can be used to pick up food without destroying it by piercing

>>11504572
oh no, my food got a little hole in it right before I ground it up with my teeth and mashed saliva all in it

>>11504585
How embarrassing to be such a klutz

>>11504542
the pivot point is your hands you fat waste of air

>>11504585
How would you even eat sushi with a fork?

I used them too

I went to a honky viet thai place with my white boomer grandparents and they served me a pho with a fork
It was awkward for me to eat

>>11504612
I wouldn't. I'd eat it with my hands (like the japanese do). I was just making fun of that faggot for caring if his food is punctured

>>11504542

>>11504633
Even the Japanese are split between using their hands or using chopsticks.

>>11504640
who is this balogna jabroni

>>11504633
japanese eat sushi with chopsticks too. (both ways)

>>11504648
well the ones who use chopsticks are wrong and they are fake japanese people

>>11504654

>anon makes another surefire /ck/ bait thread
can't wait to see this hit bump in less than a day and be filled with inane arguments
i bet someone's gonna derail it into politics at some point too
just a regular day on /ck/

>>11504660
Everyone post sushi then.

>>11504542
They're easier to use in situations of sharing, especially with sushi. If I stab my fork in there, I'm probably gonna have stuck that whole thing in my mouth and would have to use a scooping motion on the roll/piece. Just more precise.

Same for sharing Chinese food, but that I normally move to my own plate before the meal.

>>11504673

>>11504547
They're versatile, compact and cheap. They're also the best for eating salad, spaghetti and cheetos

>>11504633
Been in Japan 12 years and literally never seen anyone eat sushi with their hands

>>11504937
It's improper to do it in front of foreigners.

>>11504998
>gaijin enters sushi restaurant
>everyone instantaneously grabs their hashi

Does anyone else feel embarrassed that they can use them. I went to a Chinese place with coworkers for lunch and grabbed a pair of chop sticks to eat with. Nobody else used them but after grabbing them I was kind of commited to using them. They stared at me hole I used them so I barely ate anything like the autist that I am. I live if a shit hole flyover city.

>>11504542
They’re like sticks used to pick shit up. I’m white as fuck and can stuff a retarded amount of crap into my face with extreme precision using them. Git gud faget

>>11505028
ummmm can u not (U) everyone in dis thread ok xP

>>11505028
Never do this again you fat faggot

Bumping to laugh at OP. Shouldn't have neglected your DEX stat.

>>11504708
You're supposed to use the back of your chopsticks to move food from a community plate to your own.

>>11504542
Chopsticks are better than other utensils for practically everything noodle. Otherwise they require food be pre-cut into smaller pieces, which is already a requirement for stir-fry.
For rice, if they rice isn't sticky and is slippery, they're nothing more than shovels.

>>11504937
Are you watching people eat makizushi or nigirizushi, or has it been consistent for both?
When I went to a kaiten sushi place with my host family the children and wife were using chopsticks but the dad used both. Though I think the youngest two might have started using their hands too after they saw their dad using his hands.
Though when we made our own sushi by placing rice and sushi on a roll of nori and wrapped it up like a cone, we all used our hands.

>>11504673
I am sickened but curious

>>11507343
Like nigga you really ain't never had no rice krispy square in you got damn life

Indians are still using their hands, man.
They don't even serve hot food because of that.

>>11504564
Sushi fucking sucks. Hell, Japanese food in general is shit. Fucking nips; two nukes were too good for them.

Eating anything but sushi with chopsticks is moronic, it's the perfect implement for that but bad for everything else.

>>11505036
>This
Baka gaijins who think they can pick up a skill with one attempt, getting annoyed and not having the patience. Practice makes perfect. Use chopsticks every day until you get good at it.

>>11508056
>piles of dead nips
>American car survives
kek almighty!

>>11504542
It's fine if you use it because that's what the restaurant gave you instead of a fork. Restaurants today almost always just give you a fork though. And if they give you a fork and you make a point to request chopsticks to show off how worldly and culturally aware you think you are FYI you come across as obnoxiously as the people who say the word "umami" in public.

>>11508056
Why does Nippon have so many Michelin stars?

>>11504553
>The pivot point is one's own competency and dexterity
Damn. Said it better than I can. I get annoyed whevever my parents refuse to even try them. I even bought a practice game for my mom from a Japanese store. She never used it.

>>11508099
there are many kinds of asian noodles where a fork would struggle. Like those flat wide chinese noodles.
