Worst 5 fork designs in this meme. Thanks for nothing

finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think 2 has the best mix of uniformity and utility.
fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 year 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.
obinice@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

i only eat spoons, they taste better
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Makes perfect sense to me

Handle of 5, prongs of 3.
Korne127@lemmy.world 1 year ago
3 > 1 & 4 >> 5 >>>>>>> 2
RidgeDweller@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
We are on the exact same wavelength
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 year 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
Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 1 year 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.
someacnt@sh.itjust.works 1 year 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.
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 year 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.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Maybe if you have baby hands.
ianmacd@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Number 2, obviously.
RedFrank24@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Definitely 2.
shatteredsword@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Handle of 5 with any other head 😭
seeigel@feddit.org 1 year ago
The best fork for what?
DrBabyJesus@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Found the neurotypical.
seeigel@feddit.org 1 year ago
Unfortunately not.

5 is an IKEA fork

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year 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 year ago
They all lack thickness but 2
FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Why are they all so flat?!
IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 year ago
For the Neurodivergent fork benders.
ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Number 2.
Long sensual tines, full round butt gives you something to hold on to.
Amaranth@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
2 is best. 5 is tolerable.

feddup@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Yes! 2s handle is too big, 5s is a good size
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
- Most efficient, can hold the most food, doesn’t spread the food by wide sides which would get the food stuck
awake01@lemmy.world 1 year ago

GodyGade@lemmy.world 1 year ago
- 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 year ago
newer dishwashers have a silverware rack that lets you sort them and they come out cleaner! it’s nifty.
GodyGade@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My parents have one of those. Pretty nifty indeed.
peteyestee@feddit.org 1 year ago
Cutlery basket? Are you a 1%er?
GodyGade@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
raod_guitar@feddit.org 1 year ago
2 with 5s handle
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The correct choice.
exonode@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I agree to the fullest.
