No. I only use IKEA Atbärt.
The fork is akin to the barbaric abbreviation, IMO.
0/10. Horrible.
This is the sort of thing that your most pretentious relative buys, invites the family over for dinner, then spends the whole time fishing for compliments.
“I like the added challenge of your fork constantly slipping from my grip. It’s so cool how you found one of our most basic tools, and made it as challenging as it is ugly.”
The title of this art piece is ‘performative starvation’.
Oh, I thought the opposite. Only time I see cutlery lacking shape is for cost-cutting. Rare to see disposable cutlery come in steel.
Melt em down, try again.
… either that or put them in an ‘anti human art exhibit’, along side the minimum wage machine that cranks out a penny every couple of minutes, and … a modern budget airline seat.
Someone please build this machine!
It takes a 2€ coin, as you crank the wheel it spits out 1ct in the front and a 100€ bill drops out the back into a vault you can look into but not access.

Ah, I guess I thought this was more widely known about… this is what I was referencing, already been built.
But do go and build your variant as well!
I had no idea, very cool, thanks for sharing
Just sharing my two cents lol.
Wow is that all it took to make the abolitionist principles leave my body?
(As non functional items I appreciate the aesthetic but looking at them and picturing how they feel makes me want to vomit)
Not officially on the team, but the knife has a pretty dangerous design: you can’t immediately visually distinguish the blade from the handle, also in slippery conditions if you’re pushing the knife your fingers slide immediately from the handle to the blade. The fork is eh, but the width of the handle makes it very hard to spin in your hand, so it would be bad for eating long pasta like spaghetti.
That would be a problem if the knife was sharp, but you can immediately tell that knife is as blunt as a beach ball.
You can cut yourself with a blunt edge as long as it is rigid and applied enough friction.
Trust me, I did it 😖
If in the best case a knife doesn’t cut, it’s a really shitty knife.
Butter knives are shitty
Not that shitty, they cut butter, it’s in the name
This is Ragebait!
Lol “team tism” doesn’t work so well in an australian context since TISM is an anonymous art-rock band known for songs such as “I’m on the drug (that killed river phoenix)” and “You’re a wanker”.
I like them already
Same. Great name and great titles. Gonna look that up
It still bothers me that in Yob or Wanker I learned that I’m definitely a wanker, and that it means annoying things for how I approach politics. That song was seriously educational.
TISM are fucking genius punks.
Edit: Another great fact about TISM is that there is a serious and ongoing campaign to have them be the Australian entry to Eurovision.
This would go about the same level of awesome as sending Rage Against The Machine for the US.
We call ourselves the “Victims of TISM Support Group”.
Everything is shit except for TISM – who are shit.
NO.
I love it so much I need the full name and address of the person who made this, including if they have security cameras, where their blind spots are, and if they arm their home security when they go to bed.
To give them hugs, right?
I hate it
I’m not entirely sure if I am part of the team, but for sure I’m part of the group that hates this.
@ickplant Very close to the “Arne Jacobsen” tableware featured in “2001 a Space Oydessy”. Do I win anything for remembering obscure tableware from 50 years ago? 😜
https://youtu.be/1scvHn2olRM?t=64Amazing memory! You win this set of convenient and attractive pan holders:
Definitely ATBGE material here; the stitches are so clean
What’s amusing about this is that actual silicone dildos would probably work better and would be more hygenic.
I aspire to this level of autism and am ashamed I did not make the same connection.
@Arcanepotato I think part of the reason I remembered was because I was shocked they were mixing together their beautifully colored uniform food boxes. I used to care a lot about different food touching/mixing. 😵💫
I’m (very slowly) working on an art project of autism friendly/antagonist tableware in my ceramics hobby, despite not having the stereotypical food mixing concern. It’s just that foods must be mixed in very specific ways to optimize the texture and temperature contrasts and it’s illegal to eat different flavored skittles at the same time. Yes, I’m very normal about food. 🫣
On the hand I am not at all normal about how much I love environmental story telling in 1970s and 1980s sci fi and modernist design. Thank you for sharing this detail about the film.
its like those twin popsicles
I got tine for that
Brutalist cutlery. That’s uhh that’s a thing I guess
Not enough concrete.
But you’re still right.
