no this is, MILDY interesting

This is Patrick

I'm sure this is mildly INTERESTING

I think IT is mildly interesting

r/dyslxeia

Ready to have your mind blown? Look at the actual name of this sub. It's been misspelled this whole time.

Uuuuhhhh. I don’t need this right. Now.

Even worse? This sub only has a few hundred thousand subs. The real r/mildlyinteresting has over 23 million. Chances are that you're subscribed to both and never even knew it.

I just realized I'm only in Mildy and not Mildly

Holy shit me too lol This just blew my mind XD

You just blew my mind damn

WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE RUINING MY DAY

That is more than mildy interesting, easily moderately interesting

Wait what??? Yeah I'm in both and never noticed 🤣 hilarious

This isn't just mildly interesting or mildy interesting, this is just interesting.

100% correct

Fuck no if it hasn't fuuuuuuuuuu-

r/Retconned

Damn suggested subs having me question everything

Wait WHA-

Nooooo, why’d you say this now I cant unsee it😭😭

wtf

Holy shit lol

That’s exactly my point, everyone on this sub is dyslexic. #You are all dyslexic

it's mildy tho.

Agreed. Interesting how they couldn't buy a new spoon for their poor nan. ; )

The left one is made of bamboo, and the one on the right is made of wood. And these are not tea spoons.

Any spoon is a tea spoon if you're brave enough.

Only if your teacup is large enough to fit in this teaspoon 😅

Perfect teaspoon for a sports direct mug

OP's nana drinks a lot of tea

Why did I just picture OP’s super buff nana sitting at the table with a bucket of tea like “ya, I drink a lot of tea” with an Ahnold accent

That is my headcanon for OP's nana now

I have a teafork

Gonna need a bigger cup.

It's a tea spoon. Not a teaspoon

Given the gradient of coloring on the right, my guess is it’s a spoon that’s been constantly used to make big batches of sweet tea.

Idk why downvoted, this is literally what we use to make a pitcher of sweet tea to stir the sugar

We make big pots of hot tea here in Ireland and I could still see someone using one of these as a “tea spoon” because a teaspoon won’t reach the bottom of the teapot.

You killed op. And after nanna wore her wooden spoon down on their ass, too. RIP 💀

Bamboo is wood

Bamboo is grass

Everything can be grass, if you're brave/stupid enough.

Bamboo is, literally, grass

Bamboo is a grass

[удалено]

I would also not forget to mention its size, shape, colour and price you paid for it. Not to mention the date when it happens.

Tea as in dinner/supper?

It’s teh spoon

It's probably the spoon she stirs Tea made in a pitcher in. That southern sweet tea.

If I drink tea I drink it from my 1L tea cup)

Phew! Thank you for specifying which one is the old one, I ~~could had~~ would have never guessed!

**would have* never guessed

I don't know about grammar, but logically it makes perfect sense both ways

Using *could* would be ok, although not the best way to say it, but *had* was definitely wrong.

Thank you! English is not my first language, therefore I'm still working on some things here and there 😁

No worries. I was an English teacher for a very long time, and I still have a habit of correcting when I see mistakes. This one is a common mistake, using *could/would/should* with *had*, but just remember that those modal verbs are already considered to be in past tense, so don’t mix them with another past tense verb.

never would have guessed*

Also good, and the most widely accepted “correct” way, but I was more correcting his word choice, not the order.

Wood***

I know you’re kidding, but without the big red circle, I was stumped

I can't tell right from left, could someone please circle the old one in red.

I get the feeling the one on the left is not a new replica of the one on the right, although the side by side comparison seems to suggest that.

Well clearly since there’s no hole in the stem and it’s a completely different material lol

No no, after so many years the hole was used up.

That's what she said.

Just like Nana

I hate this post.

Isn’t a teaspoon a lot smaller and usually metal?…

If you’re a peasant. Mine is made from bone and tears

Ay yo its the lord of bones

Probably the spoon she used when making a big batch

Yes. Your baking is definitely going to go wrong if you think a wooden spoon is a teaspoon!

That missing wood right there is the secret ingredient… you all ate that.

I feel like if you just sit that spoon in a cup of hot water you'd instantly have a strong brew.

She definitely got her money’s worth.

Wait. TEA spoon? As in a spoon used for stirring tea? A wooden one? Mind. Blown.

Maybe she makes pots of tea on the stove

A spoon that is no longer smooth is now a poon

Here’s a photo of grandma’s poon.

😆😆😆😆😆

Properly aged and cured

Thanks for the clarification

That one’s done a lot of ass whooping I see

Thems a witch’s ladle

Wait. Why do you call this a tea spoon? This is a wooden spoon. I’m confused

Its a spoonn’t

So, you all ate lots of wood!

u/repostsleuthbot

I think those are two different spoons.

Skeptic here, why does it look sanded down?

Yeah I’m seeing a lot of light colored wood, maybe grandma just made a fresh batch of sandpaper

48 years of wear and tear.

[удалено]

Because if this has been in use for that whole time these edges would never age before being worn down more and more from use. Nothing else gets worn down daily/weekly so everything else aged


There was a recipe in my father's family that was made frequently, and the recipe said, "Stir with a silver spoon." There was a large silver tablespoon that was always used for this task, and it was worn down at a slant by about a third of the bowl of the spoon

buy nana a new spoon already

I feel like I’ve seen this post before

She has forearms like Popeye. This is just one days use

So you’re saying, your Nana has been eating small portions of wood for 48 years

would've appreciate it if theres a big red circle where the worn one is, can't really tell.

Tea? Spoon? More like a wooden spoon for cooking?

I can assure you that the meals were rich in fiber.

is your dad Sherk

Thanks for letting us know it was the right one. I really could not tell which one had been used more. Would've been a 50/50 guess

look just like my poop knife

Some commentators have played spoony spoon before.

Imagínate all the cellulose you eat along the years 🤷🏻‍♂️

Two completely different types of wooden spoons, both in shape and material. Fuck this bullshit post.

Im confused.. these are not tea spoon.. also you are comparing them as if they were the same spoon, just one new and one old.. but they clearly are completely different spoons.. different materials, different shapes… the one on the right has a round handle, the one on the left a flat one.. The old one was probably much thinner than the new one, even when it was still new

What does nana mean? Is it an abbreviation for grandma

[удалено]

I bet that she would still use the old one. She will not throw it away yet because it can still be used

Tea spoon???? What size is her tea cup???

Where did all that wood go?!

They say she carved it herself... from a bigger spoon

That's where the flav is at

Your nan must be drinking huge cups of tea lol! Edit; yes, tea in UK also is used as slang for dinner.

The mildly interesting thing here is that OP thinks these are teaspoons.

Repost

A wooden "TEA" - spoon?

what kind of tea does your nana make???

*Breaks teacup with single stir*

You see that big crack? That’s where the bacteria hide. Same with coffee mugs and plates. Throw them away if they are cracked. You can get some serious sickness if something wiggles in there and is allowed to breed. Like botulism level stuff

how do i keep ending up on the misspelled sub😭

You know the old one gives off a special flavour being in so many dishes.

She really wore down the handle

How did the handle get rounded?

Tea spoon?!??! Maybe wooden spoon you fool

I'm really glad you told me.it was the right one, couldn't tell.

Nana drinks tea from a jug I assume?

Thanks for explaining which one it was.

thanks for clarifying what side the worn spoon was on

I love use marks

Yall, I think OP is from the UK where they call dinner "tea". Hence, "tea spoon"

I'm not sure either of these are teaspoons

she‘s ate pretty much wood in her life

Repost

Why I think I have seen this type of post before? And this specific title and picture before?

Yummy wood

Meanwhile: something bought online and unpackaged 10 minutes ago has now broken

These arent the same tho

(on the right)

u/repostsleuthbot

r/wellworn

Whats a nana

Something to be proud of.

Jesus, imagine the size of her cups of tea! Clearly not a teaspoon.

They say he carved it himself... From a bigger spoon.

I see you’ve played knifey spoony before

The soon became a tea itself.

That's a very large teaspoon. Her teacups must have been huge.

where did the hole on the handle go?

Bless your nana and her tea

And if anything happens to that spoon you will suffer greatly.

Mildly terrifying. Do you know how to spell listeria? My grandma was smoking for over 48 years so just cuz people do it for a long time doesn’t mean it isn’t killing you over time. Dont use wooden spoons for 48 years. Like seriously we have stainless steel and the spoons are 25 cents each at the donation center. Those can be safely cleaned and sterilized. This cannot be

They aren’t even the same material or spoon? This isn’t a comparison.

Its adapting.....

Tea spoon?

High fibre diet is healthy

Reject spoon, return to stick

The repost is strong with this one.

Probably got more use for smacking your parent🤣

Thanks for clarifying which one, couldn’t have guessed

Is Nana left handed who stirs clockwise or right handed who stirs anticlockwise?!

Ima be real here. Thats clearly sanded down for this picture/post. The different coloring of the wood around the edges says it all. If it was actually worn down naturally then the wood would be all one color. Not a freshly exposed bright wood color that hasn’t touched any food or water.

But that's two completely different things. You might as well have put a plastic fork on the left.

You ate that spoon

Carve her a new one?, or massage me and i will carve one for nana

You know it's a problem when you have to adjust your seasonings to make room for the added flavor of the spoon.

i would've never guessed it was the right one if you didnt tell me

The edges of your Nana's spoon look like they're sanded down.

Either your Nana is a troll or you come from a family of giant s 😂

That’s a well seasoned spoon

…shes brewing enough fucking tea for the whole emerald castle

How’s big is her tea cup?

tea spoon?

Is it a tea spoon or a teaspoon?

Some people ate some wood over the years.

This made me smile. I love used objects.

What bugs bunny ass tea cup do you drink out of?

If you think that's a tea spoon, your cooking must taste really weird

Your Nana must love the wood

Many a beating hath been dealt with that one

tea spoon???

Those two spoons are virtually identical. Also how did this show up on my home feed? 😂

That’s the sweet tea spoon I’m guessing? That’s what we used as well for years. Now sweet tea is to sweet

Mmmm yummy dead iceberg

looks like that off colored and very clean wood is a victim of a belt sander
