  Worst 5 fork designs in this meme. Thanks for nothing

• this@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

  1. Every other choice is wrong.

    It’s not a contest. Look at the contouring, elegant. Look at the polish, shining as bright as Versailles. The tong length has the perfection of a Swiss watch.

    Then the functionality- the flared handle provides the user with the comfort usually reserved for oil barons in hospice. The longer tongs serve as an homage to the engineers who brought humanity to the moon.

    Every other fork is merely a blight on the earth in comparison to this Adonis of cutlerian perfection.

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

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

  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.

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

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

  Handle of number 1, prongs of number 2.

  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

  source

  • PapaStevesy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Exactly, I discounted it originally because the handle was the first thing I saw, but then I looked at the tines and it was no contest.

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

    Where the hell did the “L” come from???

    source

    • keegomatic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s not a combination of the names, it’s wordplay: “splayd” => “splay” (like splayed tines, to cover “fork”) + “spade” (a shovel, sharper than a spoon, which covers “knife” and “spoon”)

      yea it should be knooork

      Or the A or the Y or the D

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

    source
• NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  What?

  source
• GenerationII@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

• GodyGade@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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.

  source

  • peteyestee@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Cutlery basket? Are you a 1%er?

    source

    • GodyGade@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Do you just throw it in?

      Every dishwasher I’ve ever seen has a dedicated place for cutlery. Mine just a cheap plastic one with separators.

  • illegible@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source

    • GodyGade@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      My parents have one of those. Pretty nifty indeed.

  2. No discussion.

  Number 5, as a backup 2

  source
• Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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.

  source

  • Pilferjinx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source
  • MarjorineFailureGroan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source

    • Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes!

  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.

  • Opisek@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That’s a lot of insight to have about yourself. I usually cannot tell why I dislike a specific fork. Some just feel repulsive, others I can definitely tell what’s wrong.

    This person forks.

    source
• doingthestuff@lemy.lol ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I hate all of them but many people seem to like number two, but that is decisively the worst. I literally just bought twelve forks from a discontinued line because I had a few of them and they are the best forks ever. There are few things better than a great fork.

    I stand by you.

  • AA5B@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I wish I did that. My flatware is outstanding but of course they discontinued it right after I got it. I’m down to 5 spoons 🙁

    source
• egircys@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  All are bad. If I’d have to choose, it’ll be in the order 1, 2, 4, 5, 3.
