Hacked chop sticks for better grip
Even though this is not a million dollar idea, I don’t understand why this simple trick isn’t more widely used: I was eating at a friend’s place and he had these chopsticks with little cuts at the end. The result? A grip that is 10x better, even catching peas was a piece of cake. Here [...]

Nursing home for homosexuals
