    None of these, I refuse to use forks, only sporks.

    source
  • Worx@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    None of them; my forks are best

      Number 5 is an Ikea fork. Same type of fork i bought 12 years ago and still use today.

    The best fork for what?

    Anyone interested in developing a “Find your ideal fork” web app?

    I for one would be very interested to see statistical preferences…

    • Opisek@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sounds awesome but I don’t know on what metrics you could qualitatively categorize forks, except for some obvious ones like prong length, handle start thickness, handle uniformity, …

        Damn, I already have more ideas.

        source
      • ijon_the_human@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I have a couple of ideas but I don’t know which would be the easiest.

        We could analyse and break down forks to their design features and then let people mix and match. This would take a lot of time though.

        Alternatively we could scrape a bunch of fork images and build a large dataset. Then show two at a time to users and let them pick their preferred one repeatedly until we know the preference hieararchy for that user. Then compare users and divide them into demographics.

        I guess it would also be possible to have a visual model and some edit options like make different parts longer / thicker. I feel this is unnecessarily complicated.

        Another idea would be to break the fork into two or three parts. Not perfect but faster than exploring all design features. Tines, body, end for instance and let people either mix and match or do some for of a/b testing.

        My expertise is in design so I can help with those aspects but coding I unfortunately cannot do. Would be a really fun project designwise too…

    2 but its a bit big

    source
  • uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source
    • AA5B@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      2 has the best tunes but that huge duckbill handle is a non-starter. 5 has the best handle

      source
    • hansolo@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      All of this is exactly right. #2 is the least cringe-inducing because of the lumpy bottom.

      Is this fork thing an official diagnosis metric? Or just not yet?

        Five is out because its outer tines are curved. There is no reason for that and that is why I hate it.

        One, however, is the best. I find it eat slower (and often less) if my silverware isn’t the size of a pitchfork.

      Getting aboard the #2 train

    • Tikiporch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah, longest tines wins.

  • flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    1. It’s probably made of that super light material, and if I use too big of a fork, I’ll drop rice all over myself. Or get too big of a mouthful.

    I’m glad someone on the internet finally figured out that we all have rules about forks.

  • Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source
  • ifeelsick@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    number 5 for its solid structure and good distance between prongs

    Depends on the knife.

  • BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It was between 2, 4 and 5, but ultimately 5 wins for me

    source
    • stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      huh it was between 1,3 and 4 for me with 4 the final pick

      source
      • BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        1 is too small, 3’s handle is too think for 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 ⁨year⁩ ago

      The right form for that thin metal requirement.

      source
  • BenLeMan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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).

    source
    • AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      source
  • fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You cannot know the answer without seeing the underside of the forks. How will you know if they correctly conform to the curvature of your thumb and/or fingers.

    One of the best gifts my partner got me was completing a set of cutlery I had grown to love via eBay and other random shops. How she found decade old stuff in mint condition is beyond me.

    #2 and #3

  • PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I don’t really like any of these.

    Ideally, #2’s head on #1’s handle

    source
    • ameancow@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Ideally, #3’s head on #1’s handle

      This is the way.

      source
  • melisdrawing@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    2, but the base is a bit wide. Am I on the list now?

    • Jarix@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It depends.

  • zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    None of them are correct

    source
    • TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      the real answer

      source
  • CherryBullets@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Obviously #2, but with a slightly smaller handle tip and that’s about it.

    source
  • Spider89@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    1, 4

    2 with 5s handle suppremacy

    source
    • BenLeMan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      YES.

      source
  • Clairvoidance@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    2 with 3’s handle,

    2’s head is just weirdly always satisfying

    source
    • Dalkor@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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