Behold: The Perfect Spoon.
Found in my works silverware drawer. Tempted to take it, none of my spoons even approach this level of perfection.

not today Satan
If someone hands me this and expects me to eat with it, I'd hurt them.
These are actually quite fun if you give them a shot! Usually ceramic though, I’ve never seen a metal one
I would rather that than most other spoons
The perfect spoon differs for different foods
I am uncomfortable with the lack of smoothness on the end of the stem
I can't tell based on the image if that is engraved but there are cases where the spoon being engraved can feel nice.
That looks like a garbage disposal got it to me
Now that I'm looking at it more clearly I completely agree.
If this is actual silver, then it's not a perfect spoon to me. I had a magnet implanted into my right pinky finger for stimming reasons, and for me a perfect spoon must be ferromagnetic (i.e. attracted to magnets, steel).
Any more info on this body mod?
Here's the BME (Body Modification Encyclopaedia) page about it (TW Blood): https://wiki.bme.com/index.php/Magnetic_implant
It was invented by Steve Haworth and he's trained folks across the world on implanting them. The magnets he gets made and sells on to body modders are the gold standard because they're chamfered to be pill shaped before being encased in body safe plastic, so there are no sharp edges that can split. I got it done at a place here in Melbourne called Piercing HQ back in 2017 for AU$300, and last I checked the price hadn't gone up.
The coolest thing about it is that it's not just a magnet in your body. It actually hijacks your sense of touch to provide a "magnetic sense". It does this by basically squishing the skin between the magnet and whatever you're holding it against. So I can tell when something is magnetic, versus ferromagnetic, I can sense electromagnetic fields, I can feel when the field around an electric motor is particularly "dirty" bc it's a cheap brushed motor, compared to the "cleanness" of a good brushless motor.
One really weird/uncomfy thing that happens is that a large external magnet can flip the internal one around so the poles are opposite again. It's an incredibly weird sensation.
Anyway, let me know if you have anymore questions <3
That does sound cool! Does it mean you can't handle hard-drives, tapes etc? I guess you can never get an MRI either now
It's not powerful enough to affect those things, you usually need a stronger electromagnet to start causing issues. I have tried to make the mag-strip on a credit card stop working. As for MRIs, you can actually, they just need to treat it like non-removable shrapnel :)
okay that's incredibly cool and that last thing makes me hate it.
does the capsule protrude? or did you have a bit of flesh carved out to create a recess?
Oh gosh, I can't even imagine a body modder carving some flesh out to implant something! There's definitely a little bulge but it settles in closer than you'd think.
that looks like a scar i have on my thumb, so its not too bad. it does make me think i would pick at it constantly though.
There's really nothing to pick at, I can't even actually see the insertion scar if I look hard. You can feel the pill-shaped bump easily under the skin, but it's never made me wanna pick at it. Trust me too, I'm a scar picker-at-er too so I would if I could.
Were you around in the heyday of bmezine when Shannon was still alive? And didn't i hear something a while back about Luna Cobra currently living somewhere in Australia?
I've known a few people that have also implanted RFID chips that they can then reprogram transdermally. They can do things like set them to have the same permissions as a security badge, for instance. Cool shit.
Neat.
What do you like about this spoon?
it's just perfect? the proportions, no stupid decorative elements, smooth transitions, not too big not too small, good heft, strong but not heavy, well balanced. tbh i didn't notice the scratches until after I posted the picture, maybe the picture highlights then more but in any case it was just the perfect spoon for me
Swap it. Bring one from home, and accidentally take this one back
This guy spoons
When I was growing up, my parents had a set of spoons that not only looked nice, worked well, felt good in hand, etc but they also stacked perfectly in the drawer. I mean sure they were easy to knock over but they would self-align with a little pinch of the pile to line them up. The forks did it too.
I’ve never seen a set like that again and I’ve been chasing that dragon for 35 years
There is no spoon.
Poor OP, you told him so bluntly. I was going to let him down gently. Maybe he's not ready for this knowledge.
No
Stop trolling this community with your messed up spoons. We all know that is way to big for Autism.
Fails the yogurt cup test
Which end do you eat with? :P
i like these random posts like this lol
It's not bad. Weirdly I don't have a perfect spoon even though I have a top 5 forks list
I'm pretty anti fork if i can avoid them
Don't do it! Then it would always remind you of work when you see it.
Nooo it's too egg shaped
If we are being honest.
Too spoon.
Depends where the balance point is
Need a side profile, looks can be deceiving.
If it's that shape but thin it would go in the bin tbh. Nothing worse than bending a spoon shoveling ice cream into my mouth.
it was perfect
I appreciate the balance!
There is no spoon
Too big.
You can't dupe us. We all know the perfect spoon is this one.
that's not bad, i don't prefer round ones. the decorative lines down the stem aren't too bad, at least they are simple maybe they would grow on me but i prefer no decorations
I like it more if the reflection is more clear.
What about it is perfect? I must know.
Does it have a concave back? Cause it looks like it does and that rules it out
There is no perfect spoon, as there are better options for specific use cases.
Also just take it. No one will care
