If it wasn't you... how do you know that they are spoons?

They are clearly forks.

OP t1_je5y9ww wrote

Forks wouldn’t be able to all overlap nicely under the concrete to be laid like that. And clearly not knives!

Forks would have worked better than spoons what are you talking about.

No he's correct you can tell by the length of the handles, small spoons

If forks interlock, they'll twist to the side a bit. These are spoons.

Nope. If you stack spoons at angles the height difference would but much more noticeable than forks. They no longer nest together and would have large gaps in height one after another. Forks will lay flat together and only increase height by the thickness of each tine. They aren't threaded together they are just stacked and rotated.

The spoons would be at odd angles also. Clearly this is an ancient ninja throwing star. I have spoken

Could be a mix of forks AND spoons. They're definitely not all identical. There are at least three distinct patterns on the ends.

If you ever need an emergency spoon for your cereal you're going to be so glad that it's there.

That's a weird method to make a surveyor mark, but ok.

That's just a wear indicator. When the spoons come loose, it'll be time to replace the sidewalk.

As a concrete worker, there is a quarter in every single sidewalk, foundation, bridge deck, set of stairs, parkade ramp, or floor slab, that I've ever worked on. And I know quite a few guys in the trade who like to do it as well, so there is a fair chance that there's a coin in a lot of concrete slabs that you see.

Walmart marking its territory.

They just do that by putting large box retails spaces everywhere. No need for concrete spoons

Ancient symbol from the aliens. Your quest is to find out what it means.

That's clearly where the treasure is buried. Time to get a pick and shovel.

The sidewalk is still loading.

Meanwhile, mum and dad are wondering where all the fucking spoons are.

t1_je8a37q wrote

Bugs me even more that they're not the same

t1_je8bu0x wrote

Nah mate, it's just a forking paver.

t1_je8gorb wrote

Whoa, looks like you've stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove! The circle of spoons on the sidewalk is definitely a sign that you're in the right place to unearth some deliciousness. Better grab a shovel and start digging, you never know what culinary gems you might find. Happy hunting! gif

In 1000 years archaeologists will be digging around and discover these spoons and an entirely new hypothesis will arise while various schools of academia try to relate their religious significance to early 21st century society.

That's not spoons. The sidewalk is buffering.

That’s kind cool I like when people put cool stuff into the concrete. Probably because I do a lot of concrete for work
