It was on the counter just like that. Pretty sure I would have noticed this immediately if it was like that when I put it there last night. I live alone... I'm just really confused.

I am not sure if this is a joke. Most commentators seem to perceive it this way. But just in case I will answer seriously.

This was done by a human:

  • your kid (you said you live alone, so not this one)
  • your guests
  • someone uninvited (but it makes no sense for them to leave this)
  • you in a way you cannot remember.

I will expand on that last one since no one has done it: Do you have an issue with substance abuse? Do you have issues with your memory? Do you have any psychiatric issues? Your other personality could to this if you have a dissociative identity disorder. Check symptoms and pay attention on similar events. If this keeps happening go see a doctor.

I get my kid on the weekend but that was a week night. Haven't had guests over in a few weeks. Nothing else missing or messed with. No,no, and no.

I'm leaning into the drawer one, that it just got smashed in there somehow and I didn't notice, but they're significant forks, not cheap crap or anything.

I also really hope my suggestions are just bullshit. Especially since those have the worst implications. But I would still be watching out for similar events. Just in case :)

Dude, I've been so confused and bored with nothing to do that Ive considered some kind of electro-magnetic anomaly. My electrical system is old as shit. But I have it rigged to high powered modern electronics. Eventually I gave up on it and figured it's probably something mundane and gave up on figuring it out or honestly caring. It's one fork. Big deal. Honestly at this point if it's kids in the matrix trying to communicate with me, that'd be great lol. But I probably just didn't notice I smashed it in the drawer.

Get a carbon monoxide detector. Maybe that?
