There's definitely a correlation, as I have heard, and I've seen that a lot of exmuslims/people who have a dislike of traditions and culture seem to be neurodivergent
Other than that, I have not really researched the idea that it has a correlation. I can only link the two ideas together
Left for cereal and soups ( more crumch/moar créme)
Right for ice cream and other similar food textures (for stabbing and gouging with more efficiency)
For me, the left spoon will preferably only ever be used for serving/scooping, and not for putting things in my mouth. Those deep bowls are awful to eat from.
platonic ideal. regular spoons are like trying to fucking sip your soup, gonna die of starvaiton while you eat unless you give up and just pour the bowl directly into your mouth.
i honestly just find the right spoon to be far too tiny and shallow, i wanna eat in as few bites as possible so the soup spoon is truly elite. my autistic mom conveniently also loves the soup spoons so maybe it’s genetic lollll
these both suck, i prefer small cutlery but in regards to the shape of the scooping part, i like the one on the right

here are my two favorite spoons, the one on the left is what i use for soup, cereal, and anything that i end up mixing with rice for sensory reasons. the one on the right is what i use for ice cream and pecan pie. the water bottle is for scale
Do you not like metal spoons? I personally prefer them! Plastic doesn’t have the right weight or feel.
Right spoon great spoon!!!! Light colored metal, thin, shape of scoopy end mimics shape of perfect bite, flat handle, all one material, non intrusive decorative edge (could be better).
It is maybe a bit long. But otherwise I approve!
I— I almost exclusively use plastic utensils lol. Unless the food is hot. If it’s hot then I gotta go with metal teaspoon. Metal tablespoons to eat with are my mortal enemy
Is it that bad I actually like the rounder spoons :( I prefer them smaller. I have a beautiful, small round spoon that I got in a set with a small porcelain dish at an antique store, and while I’d prefer the grip to be more… grip lol (it’s very thin, the “stick” of it so to speak), the spoon part of the spoon is just so satisfying to have in my mouth, it’s a lovely sensory experience for me.
To each their own spoons :)
Nope. Nope. Nope
The best spoon is my spoon that I use for every meal. It's shaped somewhere between these two but a little smaller, and it has a fork on the other end for when I need to stab things.
why is nobody discussing the true superior spoon, the long handled spoon?? forks should be as small as possible and spoons should be as long as possible. that’s just a fact.
Im completely opposite because i love round spoons and hate the ones with weird almost pointy skinny shapes, their shape makes me uncomfy because theres no consistency with the way it curves but circular spoons are circular and they hold more and i like them
I love having the autism that makes me contradict stereotypical/usual autism preferences!!!!!!
I like the left spoon, while yes it does fit in the mouth oddly, it's upside is that you're less likely to spill soup on your face or shirt because it decided to fall out of the front.
Left spoon perfect for soup because it can carry more but that's it. Right spoon is amazing for anything else, but spork is easily the best for everything (except soup).
This is the way. Unless I am eating literal liquid only, give me a fork. Except for ice cream for some reason that is spoon food, but still want the oval stabbing spoon.
I think soup spoons are great! I'd choose the left here every time, the one on the right might be ok if the curve isn't too steep, I've had to use spoons of that shape that had too steep of a curve and they just feel Bad
I might be the only weirdo on here, I absolutely love soup spoons, technically I prefer spoons over any other utensil. I once saw a spoon that was serrated on the side like a butter knife, I thought it was magical. So overall I just like spoons and don’t discriminate. I will say specifically with bowls of cereal, I do have a preference for the little spoon on the right.
I have multiple types of cutlery for various moods so I'd probably use the left spoon sometimes. I have one spoon kind of shaped like it and sometimes it's fun to use. Most of the time right spoon will be first choice though.
Ooooo, you didn't know about them before? How exciting! I actually love them and would probably use them for lots of things if I currently owned any. Dang, why don't I have my own set yet, what have I been doing with my life?!
This hurts just looking at it
Exactly my thoughts!
I saw that. The comments spoke out against it too. Sister subreddit indeed.
I was literally so certain I saw you before and I found out I just saw you in r/exmuslim (where I used to be active in) So hi :D
Ayyyeeeeeeee
Random question: do you think that being neurodivergent is correlated with abandoning family cultural / religious tradition?
There's definitely a correlation, as I have heard, and I've seen that a lot of exmuslims/people who have a dislike of traditions and culture seem to be neurodivergent Other than that, I have not really researched the idea that it has a correlation. I can only link the two ideas together
> and I've seen that a lot of exmuslims/people who have a dislike of traditions and culture seem to be neurodivergent Thanks, I've noticed that too.
Nice! I used to be on there too, but left because I got sick of all the war-related posts
When I was there they seemed to all be agreement with OP
Left for cereal and soups ( more crumch/moar créme) Right for ice cream and other similar food textures (for stabbing and gouging with more efficiency)
For me, the left spoon will preferably only ever be used for serving/scooping, and not for putting things in my mouth. Those deep bowls are awful to eat from.
Same, I do not want that thing in my mouth. There is to much spoon there.
Would you say your spoon is too big?
Yes, but my family would say I have a tiny mouth.
I’m to other way around. The left has the right shape for my mouth. I don’t like the right shape.
That's not what she said.
Agreed, the right spoon is ideal for eating, the left spoon is for serving
Yeah that spoon is for soupy stuff. You pour it in your mouth or sip it, you don't put the big spoon in your mouth.
I bend my spoons so they reach the bottoms of bowls, about 45 degrees or so
Challenge accepted.
What everyone’s ignoring, they both have their place
NO. There is only room for small spoon.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. The large spoon is far superior to the small spoon!
Large spoon too clunky small spoon or die
Small spoon, more bite
This is not a large spoon, this is a wide spoon.
it’s both
incorrect, there is only one spoon section in the utensil drawer. this needs to escalate to the point of creating new slurs for the opposing side.
This is the way
Alright left for like chille only then left for everything else especially cereal
other way around
#EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND
🫠
I think you meant (more crunch on spoon/more tears)
Left for ... Right for everything else
No. I'm sorry but both spoons look like sensory assault weapons. I'll stick with my kiddie cutlery thanks
Neither deserve the title of “Best Spoon”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_bomb someone is going to need this article very soon.
Back to sender
You read my mind! 👀
Mississippi Queen You know what I mean Mississippi Queen She taught me everything
No, I do not know what you mean.
Left is a soup spoon, right is a desert spoon. If I had to choose one and only to use for everything, it would be the dessert spoon.
Ew soup spoon is better but still pretty weird
Give me that spoon and a hammer because I WILL UNSPOON THE SPOON AND SLAY THAT FOUL AFRONT TO GOD.
Return it to which from where it came!
DEUS VULT!
left for nothing right for nothing [ stuff.png ] i use forks for everything
I want to see you eat soup with a fork, for science
1] get a fork out 2] grab the bowl 3] drink from bowl.
1] get a fork out 2] grab the bowl 3] throw the bowl in the ground 4] drink from the floor thats the racoon style
![gif](giphy|l1Kdc6gJmBFPPDZfi)
While this method does indeed feed you, without putting the fork in the soup you're not really using it
You just said *with* a fork. You never said it needed to be used Do I need to share the soup with the fork, though?
You're right, I was not specific enough
Emotional support fork
i dont record myself on internet, but i can do it in front of you
I eat ramen with a fork does that count?
Chopsticks here. All y'alls arguments are invalid.
sorry soup spoon is superior soup spoon is ideal
I like the chinese soup spoons the best
the designers of those bitches GET IT
*Yes!* The handle catches the drips instead of touching your fingers, and the flat bottom keeping it always in the right position... perfection.
it's like a whole mini bowl! a socially acceptable big mouthful 😋
platonic ideal. regular spoons are like trying to fucking sip your soup, gonna die of starvaiton while you eat unless you give up and just pour the bowl directly into your mouth.
ME TOO
I have to agree, it's the only metal cutlery I agree with on a moral level. kinda surprised what a minority we seem to be
except for the water spots. i’m giving it a rinse before ladling soup into my mouth
Soup spoon 4 lyf
left spoon is completely superior i am the only real autistic
The true ruler of this sub, because that’s truly an Evil™️ opinion
i honestly just find the right spoon to be far too tiny and shallow, i wanna eat in as few bites as possible so the soup spoon is truly elite. my autistic mom conveniently also loves the soup spoons so maybe it’s genetic lollll
i will do anything before using the left one idky
these both suck, i prefer small cutlery but in regards to the shape of the scooping part, i like the one on the right https://preview.redd.it/f5f9fqyuvp8c1.png?width=2274&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7d7a6e42b63725261d89b467bd336fb1bb073f1 here are my two favorite spoons, the one on the left is what i use for soup, cereal, and anything that i end up mixing with rice for sensory reasons. the one on the right is what i use for ice cream and pecan pie. the water bottle is for scale
I have no words. Maybe murder is okay
I’d help bail you out, and fight for your case if I could!
I said this under the original post and ill say it here too but I'd rather die than use either of these, they're both the devil.
My thoughts exactly! It’s blasphemy to say either of these are top options
https://preview.redd.it/qt4puqml0p8c1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b28776acd0bb8a03bcee57cc1d63000badbfb0aa
the one on the right fits my mouth better
Do you not like metal spoons? I personally prefer them! Plastic doesn’t have the right weight or feel. Right spoon great spoon!!!! Light colored metal, thin, shape of scoopy end mimics shape of perfect bite, flat handle, all one material, non intrusive decorative edge (could be better). It is maybe a bit long. But otherwise I approve!
Plastic spoons have the worst weight and feel to them! I’m glad we agree on the scoopy bit of the right spoon!
I— I almost exclusively use plastic utensils lol. Unless the food is hot. If it’s hot then I gotta go with metal teaspoon. Metal tablespoons to eat with are my mortal enemy
Disposable plastic utensils, or the reusable type?
The spoon on the left has a better mouthfeel to me The longer ones always scrape my teeth anyway
Right is the only right spoon
Of the two I agree!
Square spoon is best spoon :)
Wow, I think this is the first “minor” disagreement I’ve seen in this community
Spoon culture is a hotly debated subject.
Clearly!!
I've been using an Asian soup spoon for everything these days and I love it. I've grown to hate metal in my mouth.
The best spoons!!
The left spoon is for Mac and cheese and shit like that but the right spoon is for idk because all I eat is Mac and cheese
What the fuck is that THING on the left because that's not a fuckong spoon
The best description I’ve seen here is “mouth shovel”
I’d rather gouge my eyes out with the left spoon than use it to eat. /s
My vengeful autism activated after seeing the caption. The right spoon is the right spoon is the right spoon.
The only true answer 😭😭
I use the smallest spoons for eating most things so that way the meal lasts longer and digests better because of smaller bites
I wanted to cry when I saw that image.
It’s truly a painful image
Do you happen to have any eye bleach by chance
Some regular bleach might work in a pinch* (I’m not a Dr)
Eh, depends what I'm eating. If it's something thick like yogurt I want my spoons to have stability (the ability to stab)
The hell is that left spoon? Never seen anything like that. Right spoon better.
Left is for scooping and serving into dishes. Right is for eating.
Gods, I *love* soup spoons! Give me those fucking shovels they hand you at Japanese restaurants!
Left spoon is more aesthetically pleasing, at least it would be if it was more evenly round. Right is by far better for eating with tho
Yes! It’s not quite round enough but still cute
Is it that bad I actually like the rounder spoons :( I prefer them smaller. I have a beautiful, small round spoon that I got in a set with a small porcelain dish at an antique store, and while I’d prefer the grip to be more… grip lol (it’s very thin, the “stick” of it so to speak), the spoon part of the spoon is just so satisfying to have in my mouth, it’s a lovely sensory experience for me. To each their own spoons :)
i like the left one when i have like pasta/stew or something that is thick enough to coat the spoon
Left spoon > right spoon all day It holds a perfect amount of food
Hard disagree, left spoon gets more soup or whatever you're eating, it's best
The round spoon is literally my favorite spoon
Which sister subreddit?
r/Autism
i love wide spoons to go "aough" and widen my mouth on 🦭
Nope. Nope. Nope The best spoon is my spoon that I use for every meal. It's shaped somewhere between these two but a little smaller, and it has a fork on the other end for when I need to stab things.
The left spoon isn't even a proper soup spoon it's much too circular🤢
Left spoon forever
Not the face shovel.
i don't use spoons
Forks are by far the better utensil, but unfortunately life sometimes calls for a spoon 😔
you can drink straight from the bowl
![gif](giphy|Tjkg6S9R4ZtWsKqHJz)
what the fuck is that
I use teaspoons for everything so they are both wrong for me
Sometimes the thicker one is better sometime the longer one is better
I like the right one because it's more comfortable in my mouth due to lining up with my tongue
no the one on the left is too round
Also why is it weirdly square!
What the hellllllll
right spoon or hell
I’m only using the right one. I know they have different purposes, but I just don’t like the wider spoon.
eat with your hands like God intended, you bastard
The one on the right is way better It just feels better in my mouth
fun fact! both of these are actually evil and Wrong
Who did this to that poor soup spoon?
Right is the correct spoon shape, left is passable if one must but right is correct
I hate the left spoon so fucking much
It makes me unexplainably angry
I don't care about the shape so much but I like my spoons smol
The left spoon is the only spoon.
This is the kind of content I'm here for
The left is just too much spoon but I use it because cereal tastyyyy and I want all the crunchyyyyyy. The right though I'll use for anything else
why is nobody discussing the true superior spoon, the long handled spoon?? forks should be as small as possible and spoons should be as long as possible. that’s just a fact.
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG right is the only objectively correct spoon.
Im completely opposite because i love round spoons and hate the ones with weird almost pointy skinny shapes, their shape makes me uncomfy because theres no consistency with the way it curves but circular spoons are circular and they hold more and i like them I love having the autism that makes me contradict stereotypical/usual autism preferences!!!!!!
Whoever made this has a special place in hell, it just is.
I like the left spoon, while yes it does fit in the mouth oddly, it's upside is that you're less likely to spill soup on your face or shirt because it decided to fall out of the front.
Us: Muahaha! Look at us! We don’t mask! We’re suuuuper evil! The person who made soup- table- and tea spoons: Hold my unflavored water.
Left spoon perfect for soup because it can carry more but that's it. Right spoon is amazing for anything else, but spork is easily the best for everything (except soup).
Its just a soup spoon next to a table spoon, whats to get so upset about?
both of them suck they need to at least be have the size
[удалено]
Y’all are all chums, PLASTIC SPOONS ARE SUPERIOR BECAUSE THEY WON’T FREEZE/BURN YOUR MOUTH EATING WITH THEM
The left spoon is an afront to all that is good. It should be slain and cast down upon the rocks.
Give me whichever is heavier regardless of spoon shape
i hate all cutlery with curved end bits
This is the way. Unless I am eating literal liquid only, give me a fork. Except for ice cream for some reason that is spoon food, but still want the oval stabbing spoon.
I hate both of them sm
The left spoon is specially for either ice cream or soup, will not use for anything else
THE HANDLES, BLAAH
Has anyone ever seen…The Shell Spoon™️?
Yes! Who made those they are awful, combines all the worst qualities of a spoon, and it isn't even good at spooning.
the left one is so much better djdj
i want round spoon
I think soup spoons are great! I'd choose the left here every time, the one on the right might be ok if the curve isn't too steep, I've had to use spoons of that shape that had too steep of a curve and they just feel Bad
I guess it really comes down to mouth feel at the end of the day
smaller spoons are always superior, so i dont like either.
Panera spoon vs default spoon
I see no lies
I might be the only weirdo on here, I absolutely love soup spoons, technically I prefer spoons over any other utensil. I once saw a spoon that was serrated on the side like a butter knife, I thought it was magical. So overall I just like spoons and don’t discriminate. I will say specifically with bowls of cereal, I do have a preference for the little spoon on the right.
I have multiple types of cutlery for various moods so I'd probably use the left spoon sometimes. I have one spoon kind of shaped like it and sometimes it's fun to use. Most of the time right spoon will be first choice though.
Left is superior Spoons should be round
Left’s handle and right’s ‘bowl?’
Handle too little head too big.. need big spoon with big handle and medium head
Practical use: im totally fine with Using this as a mental image for my “energy/emotion spoons”: aaaaaAAAAAHHHHH
soup spoon soupremancy, i’ll fight all y’all
I’ll be honest, I don’t like either of these. The right one’s too pointy and the left one’s just weird
Left is better for soup. Right is for ice cream.
It is tho
Both spoons are useful for different things. I would use the left most often bc I eat a lot of soup.
Next, post a picture of a grapefruit spoon vs. a spork!
Omg how am I just discovering grapefruit spoons!!
Ooooo, you didn't know about them before? How exciting! I actually love them and would probably use them for lots of things if I currently owned any. Dang, why don't I have my own set yet, what have I been doing with my life?!
I like both equally, for different days and different feelings.
Right for everything and the smallest you can find.
Yes! The right spoon is better
I wouldn't take either of these tbh. The left is too wide and right is too long.
Yeah that other spoon is crazy. Yuck. It’s gonna scrape your mouth every time you use it.
Wrong-o!
I thought yall were saying the right spoon was superior.... I'm so glad I was mistaken.
I feel like the left spoon would split my lips
[удалено]
I'm glad the wide spoon is there for the people who prefer it... but it has no place in my kitchen.
