I just had a mini-argument about whether forksticks (forks that can be split in half to make chopsticks) are more useful than spoonsticks. The argument was that spoonsticks covers a wider range of foods and that forksticks would be used for the same purposes. My argument was that forksticks offered choice - a family could be given a handful of forksticks and each member could choose whether to stick it or fork it.

That's not the point, though.

The point is that social media allows us to have frivolous arguments with perfect strangers and feel better about ourselves if we perceive that our arguments won. If we feel like we lost, we can just call them a troll and move on. No harm. No foul. Social media is oddly empowering in an irrelevant way, don't you think?
