Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I still think it's weird using a spoon for spaghetti.

I've seen it done. I get why people do it. I still think it's weird.

Whatever. Be weird. So your thing. As long as it gets the food from the plate to your face, who am I to say it's wrong?

I don't know why people can't just spin their forks and have the spaghetti wrap around? Never seemed like something difficult or requiring extra tools

I get it, I don't do it with a spoon, but I understand the problem it's trying to solve.

Most forks are curved, so you naturally pick up the pasta so it lands in the concave side, but when you flip it over to start spinning, the pasta slides off the end or down to the handle. So it becomes a shitty game to try to keep the spaghetti on the fork while you twirl it to fit the whole thing in your mouth.

There's a few solutions to this, like spinning the fork against the plate or using a spoon, or a fancy spaghetti fork (like in the OP). I'm sure there's more, that's just what I can think of.
