My favorite part about this problem is that it's entirely self inflicted. This can only happen if you store it in specific orientations. If you store it literally any other way, it'll bounce off the edge instead of getting caught.

But there's so much wasted room storing it upside down, and it's too tall to store on its side

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're worrying about wasted room, you can definitely play around some more to find ways to fit.

Personally I just skip all that and either hang them from hooks, or throw them into a tall, upright container (like a vase or can put something). I've got all my oddly shaped utensils like that, and I've got this old vase thing that stores my most common utensils, within reach of my stove. The access matters more than the storage.

Best thing I ever did was hang peg board. Two actually, one for pans (pots still live in the cabinet), and another for the most used utensils. I love having all my measuring spoons and cups hanging next to the cutting board.

Not as big of an issue as you'd think if you use your kitchen regularly. The bigger issue that most people don't consider is oil residue from cooking, ends up creating a slight sticky film on hanging utensils if they aren't used or washed every couple of weeks.

Ha yeah, I have a potato masher that has to be perfectly aligned or it blocks the drawer. But I'll never stop putting it in there 😆 but I will get pissed every time it causes a problem.

How does !memes manage to exclusively find memes I saw on facebook in 2015?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are we to blind to see, that the memes we see, we're created by you and me?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its like we went back in time 10 years moving from reddit to lemmy, the memes on lemmy are trash

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love these memes, I’m having a great time and there is NOTHING you can do or say to stop me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah im gonna talk to the ceo of lemmy right now and outlaw all these memes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

😱 You better not!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No one is forcing you to be here bro

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was just saying the memes are outdated here, not that i dont like lemmy as a whole

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems the solution to that would be to contribute new, fresh memes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm always up for fresh memes but these nostalgic ones hit different.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

I'm not letting this bastard get anywhere near my other utensils.
He's got a nice quiet space, together with all the other misfits.

Potato masher is my greatest enemy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have the holy trinity of this, a big soup ladle and a meat mallet.

If you put a spatula in a drawer, sometimes it will move upward and block your drawer from opening, (by hanging under a support beam or something) which is very annoying.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Not getting it is the whole joke

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Get yourself a pot on the kitchen counter and ram these awkwardly shapen fuckers in there handle down

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Smooth sliding drawer there

Be a shame if it...

Stopped

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Why am I conditioned to feel shame for finding a normie meme funny

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Glory to Anoia!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The potato masher is another culprit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lol I want to meet the person who creates this meme

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did you make this? It’s so clever and funny. I heard dramatic action movie music with the closeup on the spatula. Good stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's always this Fucker.
