None of them are great, all too thin and probably have hard 90° edges from being stamped cheap metal, but maybe 2. Five can fuck off, too wide and trying to be a spoon, the rest are too narrow in the handle.

None of these. 2 has the best tines, but the handle sucks. These look like forks you'd find in a diner. Rounded outer tines is a crime against humanity. Did you maybe want a spork instead? 😡

I'd pick 5 but none of these look all that comfy

  1. 1 is also nice, every other choice is heresy.
[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Gotta go with 1

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Also team 2

Clearly its the tines of 2 and the handle of 5. Anything else is madness.

My reasoning is quite simple. The tines on the No.2 fork are longer than the others. Long things are often associated with quality, status and refinement (Long fingers, long lashes, long legs etc.). The extra length suggest dexterity and precision.

Conversely the comparatively stubby tines of the No.1 fork would likely suit a toddler or an adult who isn't allowed near pointy things without supervision. Similarly the tines of the No.5 fork suggest that this utensil was born wanting to be a spoon but then was made into a fork at the last minute. This hypothesis is further supported by the rounded end of it's handle which would suit a spoon rather well.

Numbers 3 and 4 forks are usually, in my experience found in establishments where you help yourself to cutlery from big pots with grubby labels marked "SPOONS", "KNIVES" and "FORKS".

Now to the handles. Although the tines of the No.2 fork are pleasing, it then lets itself down with a handle that widens to the point of absurdity. Perhaps the thought was that it would help the extremely aged keep a firm grip while spooning tapioca past loose dentures.

So a cleaned up fork made from an amalgam of the refined tines of No. 2 fork and the pleasantly rounded handle of No. 5 are the only option for any adult with reasonable dexterity.

2, if I wanted it to be round, I'd have grabbed a spoon.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (4 children)

It was between 2, 4 and 5, but 4 is my final pick
