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.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

In Pokemon, you can keep God as a slave to do your bidding.

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

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

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

Missed opportunity to use the term "gender tines"

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

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

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

The humble knifoon remains forgotten :(

[-] qupada@fedia.io 19 points 1 week 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 :)

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] qupada@fedia.io 1 points 6 days ago

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

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

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

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

When you fork with a knook

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

Spifes have made it to the UK too.

[-] wasabi@feddit.org 20 points 1 week ago

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

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Which gender do sporks land in?

[-] weker01@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days 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.

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

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

[-] lars 5 points 1 week ago

secret third gender

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

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

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

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

Hell yeah, I want my language to be satanic!

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

German is probably a fair choice then.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week 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 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week 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 week 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".

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

Satanic spork

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

How about we don't give utensils genders?

[-] lars 8 points 1 week 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 5 points 6 days ago

Or he (il/le bateau) in French.

Just to fuck with the bri'ish I bet.

[-] Deway@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week 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 week ago

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

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

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

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

spork

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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

Although these were in the sales bin, going out.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago

They look insufficiently sharp to do the fork part of their job

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah they are. Except for like stews and whatnot I think.

I haven't used them really, just bought them as a joke for like 20 cents. I mean wouldn't be bad if I went hiking but for that I think I'd get a plastic/silicon spork with a knife.

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

Live long and prosper

[-] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 4 points 1 week 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

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

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

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

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

I say burn the heretic!

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

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