Eating, though it is great fun, is also a lot of work. Futurists promised us flying cars, but we don't actually need flying cars. We need automatic forks in order to ingest more food while using as little effort as possible.
Dave of DaveMakesStuff makes the best possible future a reality. He likes to say that "I don't usually know what I'm making until it's too late." This invention was supposed to be a 7-pronged screwdriver, but an eating utensil makes more sense. It's driven by eight beveled gears nested in a sphere. Dave kindly offers his STL files if you'd like to 3D print your own.
