#Tanelhasnt ? Practice with oiled peanuts. That’s what we had to do when I was a kid.

#TanelHas but he has never actually mastered it 😂

Start with individual oiled peanuts and then two side-by-side and then 3, etc.

never heard of oiled peanuts before, but this seems like a well-worth experiment 🤔💜

Me concernant ce fut en Afrique Sub-Saharaen ou enrobées de glaçage

Ça j'ai connu très très jeune

I need that too 🫣🥢

Salut ma belle

Oh perfect, let’s see 💜

Thank you so much 🫂

There is a lot of satire in that clip, hope it worked for your needs!

A essayer pourquoi j'essayerai même si je pourrais m'y rendre à moins d'un miracle 🙏💜

Miracles require sacrifice!

Don't try, just do it.

YouTube and practice. Or just use a fork.

Is using a fork frowned upon in Japan? 🤔

😂 no…

It’s true that most places have chop sticks but not everywhere. And you can just request a fork and no one will think anything of it.

Most important is that as a foreigner you’re give the ultimate affordance of forgiveness for your ignorant ways. It’s a privilege I personally abuse without shame.

No, but think about it, Japan ain’t spacious by any means, thus sitting down requires more space since you need both hands to eat with cutlery, while only a hand to eat with sticks, holding the bowl in the other.

Somehow would be strange for function not to be surviving unless serving a purpose considering a civilization much older than our fork spoon and knife cultures.

Effectivement ou cuillères comme en Thaïlande ou les mains

I’d do anything for these ❤️

If you bring them, I promise to eat every meal with them 👀

You can recreate it with a napkin, put the chopsticks near the top of one, making a straight line and roll the napkin up

Like this! But also use a rubber band to hold the napkin in place. Good to practice with.

I was thinking of this tbh just till you get the hang of chopsticks

yes please 😂💜

Ohhh interesting, never saw that before but yes that works too! And no rubber band required. Though, I hear nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4 has luscious locks so he probably has a hair tie kicking around.

Hahah that works too whatever helps em eat good food

i never used a hair tie before, but maybe by that time i’ll have them long enough 😄💜

That's another #tanelhasnt !!!!

I need to learn how to tie one, especially if I wanna become a parent one day ❤️😄

Oh this is perfect, I’ll have to practice this soon 💜

Je tenterai chez moi merci

Turns out my kids have some lol

🥹🥹🥹 pleaseeee

Sympa le modèle

"Now you can lift anything!"

Just use your hand to control them.
