      Obviously

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

    1. No discussion.

    1. Every other choice is wrong.
    source
  • recentSloth43@lemmy.world ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Definitely 2. All other answers are just plain wrong.

    source
    • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      2 is the only one with an acceptable handle!

      source
      • Zentron@lemm.ee ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        And points are actually pointy

        source
  • Pulptastic@midwest.social ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    None. They’re all stamped from thin sheet metal. Tines and handles are too thin and will bend.

    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.

      Cutlery basket? Are you a 1%er?

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

    Head of 2, body of 5.

    source
    • Korne127@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      This is the correct answer

      source
    • mister_flibble@lemm.ee ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah, the actual fork bit of 2 is nice but I don’t like utensils with dump truck ass; they’re top heavy when in use.

      Nah just two all round

      source
    • pitiable_sandwich540@feddit.org ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I agree, but if we could include the prong to base ratio of 4, that’d be great. I feel like 2’s head is to… idk, flimsy? Either the base should extend further or the prongs be shorter. Great shape otherwise though…

      source
      • wolfpack86@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        4 looks too spork like. No thanks

    1. Slim fork, wide handle.

      Damn right. I have 4 2s and 4 4s and it’s a sad day when I’ve been too lazy to do the dishes and only have 4s left to use.

      I hate them! Because can’t fit to dishwasher basket

      source
      • Kecessa@sh.itjust.works ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Top rack is the solution! Or a basket that doesn’t have slots, just the basket.

    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.

    source
    • Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

  • deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Apostrophe catastrophe.

    Oh, there are forks: #2.

    • digger@lemmy.ca ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      This is exactly what I thought, and in the same order.

      source
  • melisdrawing@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

    • Jarix@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If u are i am

      source
  • GenerationII@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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

  • DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Six.

    Look at this fork. LOOK AT IT. Now, calm down.

    source
    • Opisek@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Yes, finally a fren-shaped fork. The handle could be flatter and smoother though, but it’s acceptable.

      source
    • PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s got a perfect head but the handle is waaaay too thick

    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 ⁨hour⁩ 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.

    Handle of number 1, prongs of number 2.

    2 for hand feel alone

    2 with 5s handle

    • hardcoreufo@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The correct choice.

      • exonode@lemm.ee ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I agree to the fullest.

        source

    The best fork for what?

      Found the neurotypical.

  • Zwiebel@feddit.org ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

    source
    • OfficerBribe@lemm.ee ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Handle of 5 is the best. They usually also have a bit of a weight in it, I hate light forks.

      source
      • fushuan@lemm.ee ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It doesn’t, that’s Ikea’s fork, I know it. It’s super uncomfortable for me but I’m the neurotypical in the house, my partner only uses those.

        source
      • yournamehere@lemm.ee ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        but the handle could be a bit wider. i mean it is the best but not perfect at all.

    What?

    source
  • Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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