eating noodles/pasta with a fork is a big waste of time where you have to roll everything around the fork into one big clump and can't appreciate the length and texture of noodles.

Eating just a regular salad too is an exercise in futility if you're gonna use a fork. Have fun stabbing the same pieces of spinach 4 times in a row until you give up and start using the fork as a spoon.

Japan.
Japanese ones have a fine point for the best dexterity, originally because they use them to take fishbones out.
Korean ones are OK but metallic chopsticks are gay. They only made theirs out of metal because the silver used to react with various poisons back in ye olde days.
Chinese chopsticks are too big and thick to be of any real use.

I have two types of metal ones, japanese style (rounded to thin tip) and chinese style (square to thick tip).

Wood are certainly the nicest to use, but metal just seem more functional for extended durability.

Plastic and metal are about the same, depending on construction.

Probably some day in the future I will go back to wooden chopsticks. I don't think I have a significant preference between chinese or japanese style.

Flat korean chopsticks are stupid shit fuck that.

There are some wood ones with heavy lacquer that claim they are dishwasher safe, I don't really believe that but they would probably last a quite a while. There are also oiled wood ones made with hardwoods like mahogany that will last as long as you take care of them.
I can't really see how you would fuck up a metal chopstick, I guess you could break one of the hollow metal ones if you really wanted to but probably not with normal use.

Where does it say who tested it? You do know that that testing is done by the industry and that the FDA and other govt organizations don't do testing and hand out certifications right?

Imagine thinking anything from China is safe. Melamine in baby food, lead paint on children's toys. There was that time thousands of pets were killed by poisoned pet food. Heavy metals and pesticides that are banned worldwide in all the food. Chinks place zero value on the life of anyone but their immediate family.

how do I learn how to use chopsticks friends? I hate being the person that asks for a fork when I go to an asian restaurant that only has chopsticks out. I don't even hold a fork correctly for reference

I was drunk off my ass my 1st weekend in Korea. We stopped in a tiny ramyun shop. We ordered noodles and were given chopsticks. It was sink or swim if we wanted to eat so we learned how to use them in about 5 minutes while watching all the odashis eating away. I was 19 at the time. And that was almost 30 years ago. I still use chopsticks.

Not even fucking close. The Japanese ones are as obtuse as they are and it's like fighting yourself trying to eat anything other than noodles. Every other Asian country is fine mostly but this is one area where the Japanese fuck the proverbial dog so, so hard.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 9 14:23:52 2020 No.13485268 Chinese ones with pointed ends are the best general use chopsticks but I also like Japanese because they're able to be more delicate when picking up certain things

The best long ones for cooking are Japanese. They're the most developed country, they've had time to think about it, they get the nod.

Otherwise, that blunt chinese style is best for eating. That's just my opinion, but I've dealt with a lot of them. The "brown countries" as Australians call them do it best.
