This is extremely ironic because I have never known anyone on planet Earth to eat more like absolute fucking savages than Burger Reichers. Greasy chicken wings, sloppy burgers, oily ass pizza, french fries, all eaten gleefully with their hands without a second thought. Absolutely fucking revolting.

Oh but when brown man does exactly the same thing all of a sudden it's a problem. us-foreign-policy

This just in: hot wings must be eaten with two sets of chopsticks.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I will say eating popcorn with chopsticks is a game changer and I highly recommend it

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 months ago

Ever since I married my wife, and started noticing all the things she eats with chopsticks, I’ve come over to the side of chopsticks supremacy. 95% of food is best eaten with either chopsticks or a spoon. Our fork space in the silverware drawer at home is always full because they’re rarely ever used.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I use chopsticks whenever I’m eating spicy Cheetos. That way I don’t have spicey fingers.

[–] facow@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact Cheetos are actually specifically designed to be messy as fuck because Frito Lay thinks it makes you perceive them as cheesier. This is despite everyone (I know at least) finding it extremely annoying and a downside. Truly capitalist innovation

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

That doesn't surprise me at all. The "dangerously cheesy" marketing campaign was probably related to that too.

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

I eat popcorn with a spoon.

I can't remember the name, but there's some blaxploitation kung fu movie where the main character goes and watches a Bruce Lee movie in a hood movie theater and eats his popcorn with chopsticks. It was on Best of the Worst.

There was one time I've tried eating wings with chopsticks (I was having wings + some side dishes that I didn't want to use my hand) and surprisingly it kind of works okay.

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

It’s not too bad for sure. I eat wings at my local Vietnamese place a lot, and I usually use one hand plus chopsticks for them.

[–] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that basically a lot of Chinese chicken dishes? Boneless chicken drenched in sauce that you eat with chopsticks.

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Hell, a lot of them have bones in them, they just chop right through the bones and you just put the piece in your mouth, eat the meat, and spit the bone out to grab with your chopsticks and put on a bone plate.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

these are the same people that think bidets are gay and instead smear feces around their butt crack with wads of dry tissue paper.

i would much rather we didn't shake hands here in the anglosphere and instead just did a little bow like some other parts of the world, because if i think too much about what is on these peoples' hands at any given moment... ugh.

A simple rule of thumb in polite Western society

A simple rule of thumb in an actual polite society: don't fuss over every little detail and learn to mind your own damn business

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

Yearning for the day I can cleanly call a chud out by asking them who taught them manners. Behavior like this tweet should be embarrassingly rude.

Hot take to our (legitimately) Zohran-skeptical comrades.

Slop like this makes it so worth it. He can't be worse than the replacement level lib (at least right now) and there's an added bonus of amazing shit like this. I fully respect every critique of his positions by our comrades, but please recognize how entertaining his election will be.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah all the right people hate him. That's not nothing.

[–] RiotDoll@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

"All the right people hate him" really set off something in my mind about how performative politics really is. There's nothing of substance here. Anybody mad that this guy is the democratic nominee might be annoyed it's not their guy, but this decorum shit has always been lib meat & potatoes bullshit, there's... acceptance here. he's being given space as a contemptible extremist, kinda like AOC tbqh

Like "All the right people hate him.... but something is really off here." is how I articulate my feelings right before I remember that yes, even this bullshit is meaningless entertainment

which makes me feel like Zohran is for sure a political dead end, with no silver lining beyond a kind of nihilistic resignation to cackling at something that still has life and death consequences just because it really is this farcical and detached from reality

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I totally get this, and we shouldn't forget how politics is not the be all end all.

However, the "entertainment" isn't nothing -- it also does serve as propaganda for our side (especially if Zohran delivers some of those things in his platform). Is he perfect? Hell no. But say he manages to implement free buses or something -- it will be good for socialists more generally.

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Hell no. But say he manages to implement free buses or something – it will be good for socialists more generally.

Estonia has free buses. Most of europe had free buses for Ukrainian refugees, how is this translating into support for socialism? I guess magically wishing socialism (I guess communism is too radical now) into existence, by calling cuba and Venezuela evil dictatorships when the us is closing in to invade them? By wanting to appoint Zionists into the city government, by not abolishing the NYPD??

Or you could just, you know, wash your hands after eating? There's not exactly a limit on how many times a day you are allowed to wash your hands.

[–] Spike@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How the fuck is eating biscuits or muffins then shaking someone's hand a clean thing to do??

[–] FleetwoodLinux@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're only eating the driest least appealing biscuits and muffins ever conceived by Brits (and/or adjacent cultures). Trying to guzzle a rockcake in NMZ to run absorption potions type shit

Western politeness can get fucked. Utensils are bourgeoisie.

I fucking hate this take tho... So many more cultures eat with their hands and its not a politeness thing. I repeat, western "politeness" can get fucked.

I feel like this is downstream of the fall of the west. Used to be mfers critized you for "Egads, he is using the mussel knife for the lobster" and now we've arrived at whether finger food is good or not

On the one hand, thanks to Covid-is-Over brainworms, being forced to be in-office and using a shared bathroom with other staff gives me some sympathy for how AmeriKKKans can have hang-ups about eating with your hands. Thanks in part to IBS, I've unfortunately gained knowledge of nearly everyone I work with and their nasty asses. Can't wipe, don't flush, eat while shitting, and far too many do not even wash their hands afterward. It is truly repulsive—far worse than whatever these malding crackers are whining about with Mamdani. I try to use the gender-neutral toilet whenever it's available because there are fewer touch points by far and the door locks because it's single-occupancy.

On the other hand, no it fucking doesn't, because we eat some of the messiest, greasiest slop on the planet and so much of said slop is eaten without utensils. Most people I'd wager do not wash up before or after a meal unless it's secondary to using the bathroom (though again, see above). I've seen friends of mine go three knuckles-deep trying to lick off the last bit of salt and oil from the potato chips they just finished, then wipe their hands on their pants like it's nothing. Hell, I'm guilty of doing stuff like that myself (I do tend to wash up after that because I don't like the feeling of grime on my hands). Everyone goes back to dicking around on their phones or petting the dog or scratching their dry, bidet-starved buttholes and no one bats an eye. There's not a single person in this cursed land who has any leg to stand on when it comes to etiquette about…fucking anything.

Also isn't there a Fr*nch dish that people cover their faces to eat because they, using their hands,

"Polite Western society" lmaooo fuck off. Just like AmeriKKKan "culture," that shit ain't real, it's just rank chauvinism from pampered, ignorant bigots who feel too comfortable speaking at all.

[–] robotElder2@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Oh, everyone in the west is always doing important business handshake. Really gives the game away that 'polite western society' clearly just means business executives going to meetings that should have been emails. If the ferengi were tall these people would find them aspirational.

I would say what is the big fucking deal with eating with hands as long as you wipe/wash before and after eating considering I've also eaten using my hand at an Indian restaurant, but this is just another us-foreign-policy

I feel like I can't eat rice with my hands because it would fall through my fingers and onto my shirt, but that's probably just a skill issue because I'm a trash varmint.

independent of the actual topic, that reminds me of when my dad used to cut up pizza with scissors into little cubes for me as a young child. it's a fond memory :)

She'd best believe if my hands are wet from eating nihari with my hands and I need to shake hands with a gentleman at a business meeting, I'm

sensory unpleasantness as a bit but may be unpleasant to readleaving the sauce on my hands as a power move. Clenching tightly as our hands clasp as a power move. Making him feel the wetness as a power move. Gazing fiercely into his eyes as a power move. And then, before we get down to business, I'll warn him: This is spicy, make sure to wash your hands before you go piss or rub your eyes.

Anyway I actually got so much shit when I was a kid for eating with my hands, and fuck "polite Western society".
