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

  1. Every other choice is wrong.

  2 or 5

  source
• Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  1 is too short, 2 is too top heavy, 3 is too thin and light, and 5 is almost a spork.

  5

  2 with 3’s handle,

  2’s head is just weirdly always satisfying

  source

  • Dalkor@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I think i prefer 1 or 5s handle, but yeah 2s head is leagues better.

  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

• obinice@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Hard to say. It’s 1 or 3.

  2 has an annoying bulbous handle that upsets the balance, 5 is an utter nightmare of awful.

  Why would this not apply to neurotypicals? seems to me that most people would have at least a slight preference

  source

  • someacnt@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I am wondering the opposite as a neurodivergent. Why aren’t all of them kind of fine? Like, one is going to be better than the other, but it seems like a hard pick.

    Maybe I am too autistic to consider about forks.

    My guess is neurodivergents tend to be more militant in our preferences because the factors that affect the choice weigh a lot heavier on us. Like how loud crowded areas aren’t really pleasant for anyone, but it can be down right crippling for neurodivergents because of how severe the over stimulation is.

    I agree, but “slight” is the operative word here. I’m autistic and there are some cutlery that feel so unpleasant in my hand that I can barely force myself to use them. In the past, it has even resulted in me hardly eating (when the lack of good cutlery was due to the nice ones being missing rather than just dirty). I felt very silly that I was letting myself go hungry over an irrational preference, but I find that some battles aren’t worth fighting.

    I have also found that other neurodivergent people often have strong opinions on cutlery, which has been a wee source of solidarity. I think that, in addition to the concrete reality of people’s preferences, there’s a reinforcing cycle where once a cultural thing becomes associated with a particular group, there will be in-group jokes made about that association, which reinforces the link. That is to say that the relevance of this meme somewhat transcends the reality of the relative frequency of neurodivergent people having strong opinions on cutlery

  i only eat spoons, they taste better

    Makes perfect sense to me

  1 is just a funny goofy guy doing his job well not concerned about what the other forks think. I choose him.

  source

  • seeigel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    The right form for that thin metal requirement.

  You 2-people are insane. It’s clearly fork number five.

  • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Maybe if you have baby hands.

    source
• argarath@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Handle of number 1, prongs of number 2.

  source
• figjam@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Also team 2

  source
• ree2@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  #2 and #3

  source
• weariedfae@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  2 but 3 would do as a second tier choice if 2 was dirty.

  Also whoever said the tines of 2 and the handle of 5 is correct.

    Strange, my first thought was “except 2 and 5 all are valid”

  5 is an IKEA fork

    I think at least three of these are from IKEA.

  2. 1 is also nice, every other choice is heresy.

  Some of y’all don’t know about the yogurt test and it shows! 4 is the only correct answer.

  5, easy

  2, obviously

• BenLeMan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  #1 looks like it’s for kids.

  #3 & #4 aren’t dry-fined enough.

  A cross between #2 (weird end) & #5 (weird tip) would be perfect. In fact, I think mine at home is like that (on vacation right now so can’t check).

  • AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yes, 1 just looks like the bare minimum stamped sheet metal
