| Why should I bother with such a prehistoric way of eating when I can use the obviously superior spoon+fork+knife combo inb4 mad weeaboos |
| Actually, I've never even tried. I prefer to use a cleaver to chop things |
| I never even tried yet either. I've never even eaten at a Chinese restaurant before. TL;DR: Nope. |
 |
| Somewhat. I can use them for more solid things like sushi or dumplings, but noodles? Forget it. |

| I can use chopsticks pretty good,even the flat metal Korean chopsticks. Mostly I use chopsticks for things like sushi,depending on the ingredients in a sushi roll a fork would push out some of the ingredients.So the first place I really learned to use chopsticks was in a sushi restaurant.But I became really efficient when I was stationed in Korea. |

| Using chopsticks is easy, however, I only use them to bridge any kind of cultural divide. Let's say I am over at a friend's house. Their family uses chopsticks so I will use them too. But let's say that I was at home and using chopsticks and the only people around are my family members. The most reasonable time I will use them is if I were building a tower out of chopsticks. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| Just thinking about trying to eat rice with chopsticks is frustrating. |
 |
| I can stab the shit out of chicken with chopsticks and it if that counts. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| Yes I can and do with some Asian foods because I'm used to eating them like that. But back in the homeland we're taught to eat with both a spoon and a fork, which I'm sure a few other countries do, but obviously they don't in the US. I still eat that way for the most part, though not really in restaurants. Then there's eating with your hands (other than stuff everyone eats with their hands), which I do with wings and rice omgg. My dad will sometimes even do that with soupy stuff and rice, but that's where I draw the line. |

| Only for sushi. Was born in China where we used chopsticks for rice. *shrugs* Glad I have spoons and forks now. |
| Yep. I go to Korean BBQ frequently with my friends and we're all capable of eating a truckload of meat. I l had to learn quickly otherwise I would have starved at an all you can eat Korean BBQ. (I asked for a fork, but those fuckers forgot to bring me one) |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Yeah, I can. I can even eat noodles with them. |
 |
| My parents are Asian so I learned when I was a kid, probably around three. I'm not allowed to use a fork, spoon, or knife for dinner cause they don't like it. |
 |
| Yes, but very badly. |
| I learned how to use them before I even learned how to talk. |
| Yes I can use chopsticks. They also can be sharped and used as a weapon at the last minute, impailing the hands of any would be assassin, or stab into the neck of the unsuspecting as you make your escape. |
| no im white and don't care to learn cuz im white |
| ^Strong avi to post correlation lol To some degree but it's way easier using a fork and the only reason I would use them over a fork is if I wasn't offered one. |

|
| Depends. I am not good at stabbing people with chopsticks, but I can eat with it pretty well. |
 |
| I use it like a fork sadly.. |
| Recently I've been using chopsticks at least twice a week (usually either one lunch at some Japanese place and one at a Chinese place, or twice at a Chinese place).

You eat soup with chopsticks? For the record, a porcelain spoon is still a spoon. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |

| nop and im asian sad life |
 |
| Yep, but I rarely use it. |
 |
| I don't think they're pointless, but I don't know how to use them. I guess forks are much easier to use, but using chopsticks is pretty cool too. |
 |
| Yeah, I saw a guy using them at a Chinese restaurant when I was like 5 and was like "woah dat is da kewlestest thingy 3vr!!!1!!" And my Uncle lived in Vietnam for awhile so he knew how to use them, so I learned from him. I only use them at Chinese restaurants though, I prefer forks....much easier to shove food in my mouth with. |
  |
| I never tried, I think I will only for the experience, I guess. There's no benefit though, so it might happen really really late. |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |
| In university I housed with an Korean and a Chinese guy. They taught me how to use chopsticks and since we had so many in comparison to forks I ended up using them everyday. I prefer chopsticks now. I find them more comfortably and because they are made of wood they don't add a tinny flavor to the food. Plus since you eat smaller bites you digest better. So yeah, chopsticks are superior |
 |
| Yes, chopsticks is not too hard to use, but I advocate dual wielding of Spoon + Fork. My parents use chopsticks, but I don't see how chopsticks is more efficient, but you can wash less stuff after eating lol. |
