Worst 5 fork designs in this meme. Thanks for nothing

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 1 points 29 minutes ago

1, 2, and/or 5 depending on the type of food i'm eating.

2.The crazies here who don't think that's the best head by so much that the handle doesn't matter, they scare me. No amount of bad handle can make up for how much I hate the rest of them

What am I eating? Spaghetti is different from steak which is different from peas

I think 2 has the best mix of uniformity and utility.

You don't have to be neurodivergent to have an opinion about fork shapes. Also 2 is the best.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago
[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

You come here asking neurodivergents a question and you only give five options?

All of these options are terrible. You should feel ashamed, OP.

[–] argarath@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Handle of number 1, prongs of number 2.

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

The present is now, old fella

[–] SarcasticCephalopod@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Where the hell did the "L" come from?????

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Although if I really have to choose, it'll be 2, but I'll silently complain he whole time

[–] vrojak@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Number 5 is the best, fight me. The wide, rounded handle provides a comfortable grip, and the slightly shorter prongs, combined with the bulge on the outer ones give it a friendly look. You don't want to put some aggressive looking stabbing device like the disgusting number 2 into your mouth do you? Where all the soft, vulnerable stuff is? Come on. And don't get me started on the handle of number 3, that is just atrocious, way to thin and I can already feel it digging into my skin when just trying to apply modicum of rotational force into my food.

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

5 is practically a spork. 2 is for stabbing food not your mouth. Learn to eat

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 22 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

They all have problems. If i have to pick any one of them its going to be 2, but i won't be happy about it.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

2 is going to have the best texture on the lips. But the end is too flared to be truly comfortable.

Two is the only one with long enough tines, but that spoon tail on the handle ruins it for me.

[–] GenerationII@lemm.ee 7 points 4 hours ago

I'm inclined to say 2, just for form and shape. But it looks to chunky. Like probably heavy af. So I'll choose 3.

P.s. thanks for giving me a new thing I didn't know was linked to my neurodivergence

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 8 points 4 hours ago
  1. No discussion.
[–] GodyGade@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)
  1. It's balanced, not too sharp or long.

Nr. 2 is a no go, the thick butt is annoying af to put in a dishwasher cutlery basket. You need to think about these things.

The rest is fine and whatever.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 0 points 2 hours ago

Cutlery basket? Are you a 1%er?

[–] illegible@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago

newer dishwashers have a silverware rack that lets you sort them and they come out cleaner! it's nifty.

[–] Whimsical418@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)
[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Sure, if shiny sporks are your thing.

2, assuming the broad pommel is a counterweight. If it's flimsy lightweight material then none of them.

When I got married, sitting down with the caterer and choosing between dozens of flatware types, I realized that I personally like three dimensional smoothness, with round, cylindrical handles that have some heft but not too much width. I also like cylindrical tines that don't look like it was made from a flat sheet of metal cut and bent into shape (I prefer tines that are cylindrical, not rectangular prisms).

I also like curves along where the head meets the handle, and along the head itself. No sharp corners or edges.

I dislike ornamentation on the handle itself. I like plain, smooth handles.

I chose the forks for my wedding, and then later on in life, based on what I learned about my own preferences, I bought some flatware that fits those general principles (looks like the Sambonet Hannahs, but cheaper than that very expensive line), and replaced the ones in my house. Now I basically don't have any forks that I don't like.

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 hours ago

Trick question. These are all terrible, therefore I will eat with my fingers.
