Handle of 5 + the fork of 3

Those all suck, this is the perfect fork. Those all suck. This one is the perfect fork

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

This is the only correct answer

None of these. 2 has the best tines, but the handle sucks. These look like forks you'd find in a diner. Rounded outer tines is a crime against humanity. Did you maybe want a spork instead? 😡

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Agreed. 2 is the clear winner of this heat, despite the bad handle. 5 has the best handle of the bunch, but all these were stamped from thin, stainless sheet steel, rather than forged from thicker plate. All of their handles are lousy.

5 has a better finish than the rest, but the tines are a train wreck.

Here is the perfect fork:

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.

Worst 5 fork designs in this meme. Thanks for nothing

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

Handle of 5, prongs of 3.

[-] MechanicalJester@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago
[-] ianmacd@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

Number 2, obviously.

[-] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Definitely 2.

[-] shatteredsword@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Handle of 5 with any other head 😭

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's a trick question, they're all bad.

  1. Most efficient, can hold the most food, doesn't spread the food by wide sides which would get the food stuck
[-] DrownedRats@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

1 or 3. I cant stand forks with curved outer tines. 2 is good but i prefer a straight handle over a curved one. My preferance leans towards 3 though as 1 looks like it would have slightly sharp stamped edges.

Well, not #2. The curved droplet-shaped handle seems inconvenient for spinning spaghetti around

[-] GenerationII@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks 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

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 5 points 2 weeks ago
  1. No discussion.
[-] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago

So apparently I'm the only one that hates the long ass tines of 2 and prefers something like 1 or 4

[-] Antaeus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] GodyGade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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.

I dont like any of them :(

[-] bluegreenwookie@bookwormstory.social 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I dont like any of them but if i had to pick: 2. I like the prongs. But I don't like the handles for any of them

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Apostrophe catastrophe.

Oh, there are forks: #2.

[-] fum@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] vrojak@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.
