Theoretically catching a fly with chopsticks is possible. However, it is very difficult. This task was part of a famous scene in the movie "The Karate Kid." The mentor, Mr Miyagi, had spend his whole life trying to catch a fly with chopsticks only to see his student, Daniel, catch one within his first minute of trying. "Beginner's luck," Miyagi huffs. The act of catching a fly with chopsticks was considered to bring good luck, as it did to Daniel in the movie.

Yes. They use them a lot.

Chopsticks are 2 sticks that people eat with,

The tune was written in 1877 by the British composer Euphemia Allen.

It is not known who invented them because they have had many forms over the years. Chopsticks have been used in China as early as the Shang dynasty (16th-11th Century BC), but they were used mostly for cooking. Chopsticks were used for cooking during the Han dynasty. However, during the Ming dynasty they were used in normal use.

In ancient China

Japanese people use chopsticks to eat in large measure because it's convenient: much food in Japan is served in small pieces that can easily be conveyed one by one to the mouth with chopsticks. Hot food can also be cooled with the breath more efficiently when it's held with chopsticks than when held with a spoon. (Most chopsticks used in Japan are wood and so do not conduct heat well.)

That said, young children generally do not use chopsticks to eat with: spoons and forks are more common.

Likewise, both Asian and Western style spoons are in common use in Japan, as are knives and forks (and, to a lesser extent, other cutlery); it is common to eat, for example, spaghetti or steak using the same implements used in other countries.

If you wore chopsticks in your hair it'd pretty much be the equivalent to a westerner wearing a fork or knife in their hair. No one actually uses chopsticks in their hair, and if you see something you think are chopsticks, they're hair accessories made specifically for being hair accessories, not eating utensils. Most of these "chopstick" hair accessories are decorated and much shorter than chopsticks used for eating. Some Koreans use these hair accessories now but not many. It was much more common 50 years ago.

There is no hidden message in breaking a chop stick by accident. Like anything else it could be a pure lemon and had a weak spot in it. Chopsticks are very sturdy and seldom break. Even if you didn't know how to use chopsticks (learn to use them because it's not that hard) you'd have to do something very drastic to break it.

I'm not even sure you could successfully eat most porridges with chopsticks, being that they are largely liquid. Porridge usually must be eaten with a spoon.

If you leave chopsticks standing upright in a bowl of rice, it is not well regarded, because this is something only done at funerals.

chopsticks came from china and moved into japan. people invented chopsticks because many were poor so it was easier to buy then fine china silver wear. But before it was used to eat with japenesse women used it to decerat their hair and keep it up with since their was no hair ties

Not all Koreans use metal chopsticks. I saw many Koreans use wood chopsticks. However, metal does not wear off like wood so it is not prone to wear and tear, so it is sort of a standard household item.

Chopsticks come in different sizes to accommodate various preferences and uses, reflecting cultural practices and individual comfort. For example, longer chopsticks are often used for cooking or serving food, while shorter ones may be preferred for eating. Additionally, sizes can cater to different age groups, such as children using smaller chopsticks for ease of handling. This variety enhances the dining experience by allowing users to choose the most suitable option for their specific needs.

As silly as it sounds, yes the fear of chopsticks is a real phobia.
The phobia of chopsticks is called Consecotaleophobia.

Chopsticks originated in China over 3,000 years ago and gradually spread to other East Asian countries, such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, over several centuries. Their global spread to the Western world began in the 20th century, particularly after World War II, as interest in Asian cuisine grew. Today, chopsticks are widely used not only in Asia but also in many Western countries, reflecting the global appreciation for diverse culinary traditions.
