Funny, i seem to have worked in software dev so long, that my brain started working like a simple loop.

Run until condition fails, then exit. never check the rest. :)

The knife does not mesh well with the others unless you enjoy cutting your mouth up. There's a reason we only have the spork.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Don't bring a splayd to a spork fight.

[–] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 40 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Where on earth do they get the 'AYD' from?

Seems like spifk, sporf, or knorkoon might be more sensible.

[–] Zikeji@programming.dev 26 points 4 days ago

I'm unsure if the original inventor is still alive for you to ask that question, but let us know the answer if you do get it.

I would guess because it sounds kind of like blade just spelled differently

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Okay, so we have SpoonBlade, but where's the Fork?

Why is there a "L" in splayd?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Or any of the letters after "L" for that matter...

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah, blessed be the almighty Foon. Nameless Mod was a absolute ride, I should replay it.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

There's also this version

This checks out, mum gave me a set of splayds when I moved out of home and we're Australian. I love them but my fiance refuses to use them.

Your fiance knows neither taste nor balance.

Looks like discord with a green background

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, I can at least claim that I can legitimately claim an oft-unused spot on this diagram through being one of the probably select few who has ever put an edge on a spoon.

Look, some of us have a brand to maintain, you know?

Also, perhaps now is a good time to dredge up this.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

I appreciate your service

Spife up your life

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I own multiple knorks. I like their balance and construction: https://a.co/d/drHe7uh

Knasty Knork

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

I argue that everything inside the knife circle is just a knife.

Except the Splayd, perhaps. Which is just a spork.
