    2 with 5s handle

    • hardcoreufo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The correct choice.

      • exonode@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I agree to the fullest.

    Worst 5 fork designs in this meme. Thanks for nothing

    • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

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

      source
  • fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    My fork is the correct fork. None of these are my fork.

    In the event of a fork loss, any of these forks could become my fork after a period of time, probably about a month or so until it felt right.

    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.

    Handle of 5, prongs of 3.

    3 > 1 & 4 >> 5 >>>>>>> 2

      We are on the exact same wavelength

      source
  • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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.

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

    source
    • Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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.

      source
    • someacnt@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

      source
    • AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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

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

    source
    • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Maybe if you have baby hands.

      source
  • ianmacd@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Number 2, obviously.

    source
  • RedFrank24@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Definitely 2.

  • shatteredsword@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Handle of 5 with any other head 😭

  • seeigel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    The best fork for what?

    • DrBabyJesus@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Found the neurotypical.

      • seeigel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    5 is an IKEA fork

    • ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I think at least three of these are from IKEA.

    2 and it’s not close, 1 is the worst.

  • IndustryStandard@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    They all lack thickness but 2

    source
    • FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Why are they all so flat?!

      source
      • IndustryStandard@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        For the Neurodivergent fork benders.

        source
  • ZeffSyde@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Number 2.

    Long sensual tines, full round butt gives you something to hold on to.

    source
  • Amaranth@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    2 is best. 5 is tolerable.

    3 or 2-with-5’s-handle

    source
    • feddup@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yes! 2s handle is too big, 5s is a good size

    1. Most efficient, can hold the most food, doesn’t spread the food by wide sides which would get the food stuck
    source
  • awake01@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    2

    source
  • GodyGade@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    • illegible@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

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

      source
      • GodyGade@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        My parents have one of those. Pretty nifty indeed.

      Cutlery basket? Are you a 1%er?

      source
      • GodyGade@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Do you just throw it in?

        Every dishwasher I’ve ever seen has a dedicated place for cutlery. Mine just a cheap plastic one with separators.
