By that logic the right way to eat everything is making shakes...
Not really, that would require adapting the food, which switching to a better type of cutlery does not.

Have you actually ever learnt to use chopsticks? Your dumb rant makes you sound like you haven't even tried - in which case you should be ashamed.
Someone really loves his chopsticks. I have tried using them. Spoon, knife and fork allow you to eat any food very efficiently, including foods traditionally eaten with chopsticks. If you disagree with that then I will have to ask you if you ever learnt to use them. Chopsticks are only fit for certain foods, if correctly prepared and served and do not do a much better job at those specific foods they are fit for then normal cutlery.

Therefore, no reason to use chopsticks you dirty weeaboo.

I don't give a fuck what instruments people use to eat. You can eat with a chainsaw if you want, whatever you find got the best fun/efficiency ratio for you, however with that said, claiming eating ANYTHING with chopsticks (and yes, I know how to use them) is easier than with a spork sharpened on one side (or a fork, knife, and spoon) is beyond silly.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Took me a week of fumbling before i could eat rice like a total boss with them, way better than with any fork or spoon. Zlisch, claiming that claiming eating ANYTHING with chopsticks is easier than with a spork sharpened on one side (or a fork, knife, and spoon) is beyond silly... is beyond silly.

For whatever reason you lot sound as if someone once stabbed you with a chopstick and now you have an incurable hate for them.

I don't hate them, I just acknowledge that proper sporks sharpened on one side are more efficient, and that rice picture of yours would be easier or at best as easy to pick up with my masterful spork sharpened on one side. (admittedly for food that isn't to damn hot and isn't liquid and if you can wash your hands afterwards and no one cares how barbaric you look just eating with your hands is prolly the most efficient way to eat though)

And with chopsticks being like an extension of your fingers, it is very much like eating with your hands - except you look good doing that and don't need to wash after.

It lacks several features of your hands though, if you could properly cut/tear something apart with them, if it'd have the base of your hand to help hold shit so you can take that much bigger amounts, and if you could properly use 10 chopsticks at once (along with having functional joints and the palm of your hand to make sure nothing could possibly fall out from behind, and even for food made for chopsticks these features would greatly improve your eating abilities), then yes it'd probably be an almost suitable replacement for eating with your hands, but until then it isn't that amazing.

Haven't used chopsticks for years but they're not as bad as some people seem to think. One of my best mates is Half Chinese Half Vietnamese and when we were teenagers we used to go to his Dads house and they all ate with chopsticks and that's what they gave me to use lol. It wasn't actually hard after a little practice, the rice is clumpy and thus sticks together in lumps, you also aren't really meant to be trying to pick it up, rice is usually served in a small very round bowl, you bring the bowl to your mouth and use the chopsticks to sweep rice into your mouth. Anything that is difficult to eat with chopsticks or impossible you traditionally just use a spoon.

Did you ever ask them why are asian spoons so well engineered in order to yield maximum awkwardness of use ?
