I bought a big pack of metal sporks as a gag 10ish years ago. My kid started using them non stop and became trans. Now I know why. I’m not mad, just thought it was a natural thing and not because of the sporks.

You can buy Foons if you want to change them back

Note: That seems quite amoral but possibly effective.

Meanwhile the Welsh have other plans.

According to the post, a spork makes you saturated. A foon, it should follow, would make you trans. ...or furry idk

Here in germany forks are feminine and spoons are masculine, goes to show you how made up supposedly innate gender roles are.

Ziglin@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 247d

And ze knives are ze most gender neutral of zem all!

In Polish, forks and knives are masculine while spoons are feminine, grammatical gender isn't even consistent across languages

Robyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 240d

In Czech they are both feminine :3

This wasn't an example of someone calling something "satanic", but I have seen someone say special/general relativity were anti-christian. My guess is that they were taught that evolution was bullshit because there are still a lot of christians who believe that, and then they confused relativity with evolution. Though I guess it's also possible they were confusing relativity with moral relativism. 🤷

More specifically on the topic of this thread, my mother banned Pokemon/Digimon for being "satanic" when I was 13.

Everything cool and fun is Satanic. Maybe this Satan fellow is a nice guy. I should convert to Satanism.

Well... theres flat earthers that dont beleive in gravity. And a whole lot of flerfs are 'Christians'

My friend thought the Simpsons was satanic. The same person believed the movie "The Fugitive" was good Christian fun.

It's weird, I always thought of spoons as masculine and forks as feminine

celeste@feddit.org · 2 pts · 246d

In Germany spoons are masculine (der Löffel) and forks are feminine (die Gabel) while knifes are neuter (das Messer).

Where do chopsticks fall into?

rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 246d

I think I'd say feminine too

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 246d

too long and thin to be phallic. so it gives me more stiletto or long fingernails vibes. So I think they are more feminine looking.
