i like the kind of chopsticks that come with chinese delivery but not the kind that you have to break apart at the top which before is a rectangle of solid wood, but rather the kind that are two individual round sticks i dont know why but i like those better

i was just trying to find a quote about how a particular chinese dude didn't like forks because "a fork might have touched the mouth of my enemy" but i can't find it. instead i found a kotaku article about how only baka gaijins rub their wooden disposable chopsticks together, "rick deckard style". noice
