A spoon-based miracle this morning

Somehow overnight our little spoons spontaneously organised themselves into perfect order.

I can confirm neither of us did this on purpose, as you can see our usual cutlery storage method is just "throw it in the drawer it's fine".

What's the word for the opposite of entropy?

After standing staring at the sight for a bit, we realised they may have done this to draw our attention to how badly the drawer needs cleaning. So it's ok, you don't need to ;)

In this house just only having spoons in the spoon compartment would be a miracle.
- Usually same!

What’s the word for the opposite of entropy?
Localised entropy may decrease so long as the total entropy increases. If the spoons hadn't organised themselves, would you have come to Lemmy to tell the world, expending energy in the process?
Universe: 1, OP: 0
- Joke's on you, I'm on Lemmy all day every day regardless of what the spoons are doing.
  I...may have a problem.

Has Uri Geller joined Lemmy?

Left handed person! My MIL puts the cutlery away like this and its marginally annoying when picking one up as a righty (although the benefit of her emptying the dishwasher outweighs the annoyance).
- Oh I'm a lefty and put the cutlery away am I imposing some kind of cutlery hell on my normie right handed family?
  
  If you're right handed, you'll naturally pick up a spoon by the bowl if they're like OP's image.
  away am I imposing some kind of cutlery hell
  Probably, but they should do it themselves if they are going to complain
- Haha, I am right-handed but he's ambidextrous so you could be onto something there. Can't say I'd ever noticed they were the wrong way round though, probably because any other morning they'd be in all directions at once.

Ah the drawer where unloved chopsticks retire to
- He actually uses those all the time, fancy pants that he is.
