None of them; my forks are best
Choose a number, 1-5!

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

1, but these all suck ass.
DrPop@lemmy.world 11 months ago
2 for hand feel alone

The best fork for what?
TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Forking
DrBabyJesus@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Found the neurotypical.
seeigel@feddit.org 11 months ago
Unfortunately not.

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 11 months 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, …
ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Damn, I already have more ideas.
ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 11 months 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
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
2, assuming the broad pommel is a counterweight. If it’s flimsy lightweight material then none of them.
AA5B@lemmy.world 11 months ago
2 has the best tunes but that huge duckbill handle is a non-starter. 5 has the best handle
hansolo@lemm.ee 11 months 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.
Veneroso@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Getting aboard the #2 train
Tikiporch@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, longest tines wins.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
- 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 11 months ago
1 is too short, 2 is too top heavy, 3 is too thin and light, and 5 is almost a spork.
ifeelsick@lemm.ee 11 months ago
number 5 for its solid structure and good distance between prongs
SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
None of em
AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Gotta go with 1
snipon@feddit.dk 11 months ago
Depends on the knife.
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It was between 2, 4 and 5, but ultimately 5 wins for me
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
huh it was between 1,3 and 4 for me with 4 the final pick
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 11 months ago
1 is too small, 3’s handle is too think for me
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
1 is just a funny goofy guy doing his job well not concerned about what the other forks think. I choose him.
seeigel@feddit.org 11 months ago
The right form for that thin metal requirement.
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 11 months 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 11 months ago
Yes, 1 just looks like the bare minimum stamped sheet metal
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 11 months 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
Jean_le_Flambeur@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
For mouth comfort 5
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I don’t really like any of these.
Ideally, #2’s head on #1’s handle
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ideally, #3’s head on #1’s handle
This is the way.
melisdrawing@lemmy.world 11 months ago
2, but the base is a bit wide. Am I on the list now?
Jarix@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If u are i am
ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It depends.
zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 11 months ago
None of them are correct
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
the real answer
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Obviously #2, but with a slightly smaller handle tip and that’s about it.
Spider89@lemm.ee 11 months ago
1, 4
biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
2 with 5s handle suppremacy
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
YES.
Clairvoidance@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
2 with 3’s handle,
2’s head is just weirdly always satisfying
Dalkor@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think i prefer 1 or 5s handle, but yeah 2s head is leagues better.
Tanuki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
None of these, I refuse to use forks, only sporks.
