Lawns should be banned except in situations where there is genuine a recreational purpose for the public (sports fields, dog parks etc.)

Schools should have a public health focus for each term and students should be exposed to the importance of a particular public health issue, the consequences of failing to address that issue, the victims of the issue, and ways to manage or mitigate the issue. I'm talking seatbelts, polio, diabetes, you name it. Get a person who has a traumatic brain injury who is employed as a public speaker to meet with students and talk about what happened to them when they didn't wear a seatbelt and the ways that it affects their life to this day, show documentaries about victims of polio, that sort of thing.

Chopsticks are the most versatile implement in the cutlery world.

Most ingredients in domestic cleaning products should be banned or at the least restricted because we don't need the widespread use of things like bacteriostatic agents and we don't need to be exposing children and waterways to that kind of shit.

Most advertising campaigns that are against addiction are actually an op and they serve to encourage people to engage in those behaviours and to relapse.

There should be a hotline that the government operates which records a question or concern that you have and then communicates this to a qualified expert in the relevant field who then contacts you to provide you with a response based on the best, most up-to-date science. The responses should be collated into a sort of FAQ/encyclopaedia with written responses and short video lectures so that the most commonly asked questions can be addressed immediately and so that this can help guide the development of educational curricula.

That chopstick take is wild. Spork destroys in all categories.

When it comes to soup you might have the better take here

It’s not that the spork is the best at anything, but there’s no food it can’t shovel into my gaping maw.

Can't cut

Can't scoop a liquid

Mainly need two to approach the power of a fork

I think chopsticks might be the least versatile implement?

Can't scoop a liquid

Normalize drinking soup straight from the bowl!

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the experiential elements of eating by chopstick and slurping down the last of your soup is vastly more enjoyable then using a spoon to slowly consume the meal

But the implements are, in the main, objectively less effective

I'm not as proficient as a mainlander but I'm pretty good with chopsticks

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I always fail to make my cracker hands operate chopsticks.

Put all your food in tiny bowls and practice

I like these, but as a sometimes manically inquisitive folk I love the last one a lot.
