Used Chopsticks, What Do You Do? Most Whimsical, Practical, or Creative Ideas.

IIRR,
Mom gave me 5 chop sticks and I used them to make 5 piece throwable boomerangs that would explode when they hit anything, us neighborhood kids used to have wars throwing them, along with the rubber band gun fights with each other, used to do the same with popsicle sticks, from a long time ago..........lol

I only needed 4 popsicle sticks to make those. Lots of fun, in class, on rainy days. Teachers hated it though.

I spent more time outside from sun up till well after the street light came on, Grampa's old springer dog "Buzz" and I put hundreds of miles on the Tenny runners, if Buzz was gone, he was always with me, that's the only way mom or G-Pa could tell I was around, I hated being inside....

Wouldn't you rather be watching Tic-Toc vids on your phone instead of playing outside with other kids and a dog! That is just not normal.
Bookmark. I happen to love the one of dipping them in wax as a camping or charcoal fire starter. The pegboard was great, because they are pegs of exactly the right size. Okay, make a pegboard frame, paint it and make a geo design with chopsticks and lace yarns of different colors in and around it as art.
You know, if we ever get an IQ test of listing what we can do with used chopsticks in 3 minutes, we will all ace it.
 
I actually ate food with chopsticks today. It was Hoisin Pork over rice. They were disposable chopsticks and tossed in the trash after I used them.

I had sesame chicken with spicy tuna rolls and California rolls for lunch and was in, done and out in 20 min. All thanks to my ambidextirarity/rareity. :D While reading a book. The pages were held down with a chopstick under a wasabi tray so they would not flip.

Cleaning dog crap from your e-bike tire tread after you ride through a pile. 💩 🤬

Prize for the first good reason I've heard to actually carry a chop stick on my bike: Coyote crap's very distinctive stuff, and some trails around here are full of it — including certain sidewalks in my neighborhood's greenbelt.

Big howl-and-yip session on the canyon wall below our house just last night at 0200. Those guys really know how to party!
 
I used one yesterday to pack silicone grease into a shifter down the little hole where you feed a fresh shift cable. First I cooked the cable in hot bio-wax for a couple of hours. So it is slick as butter.
 
Yeah that'll be just great in a month or so when those cables get grit covered and cement themselves in place 🤣

I hate those cables. They're the reason I converted to hydraulic brakes and electronic shifting.

I've found that quality polished cables kept clean work reliably. I do give them (shifter) an alcohol wipe down at the first sign of an issue.
Brakes really never gave me a problem.

If your riding mostly in flat areas cable brakes work great. My first ebike had cable brakes and because I live in an area with a lot of uphill/downhill riding I didn't feel real secure with my stopping power going down a grade at 30mph :eek:. Once I switched my cable brakes over to full hydraulic everything was much better and my next bike came hydraulic.

Yes I find hydraulic better... but it all depends on use like you say. My now spare bike has cable driven hydraulic calipers and I never felt unsafe on the bike even at 30mph down hill. That bike is near half the weight of my current one.
