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.

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The present is now, old fella

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Although if I really have to choose, it'll be 2, but I'll silently complain he whole time

They all have problems. If i have to pick any one of them its going to be 2, but i won't be happy about it.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

2 is going to have the best texture on the lips. But the end is too flared to be truly comfortable.

Two is the only one with long enough tines, but that spoon tail on the handle ruins it for me.

[–] GenerationII@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour 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

  1. No discussion.
[–] GodyGade@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)
  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 points 53 minutes ago

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

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.

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago

This person forks.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Got any sporks?

[–] auginator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Number 5, as a backup 2. Edit: I feel like 2 is too fat and 5 is too narrow. Somewhere in the middle.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 5 hours ago (6 children)

2, assuming the broad pommel is a counterweight. If it's flimsy lightweight material then none of them.

[–] Veneroso@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

Getting aboard the #2 train

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

2 has the best tines but that huge duckbill handle is a non-starter. 5 has the best handle

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours 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?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, longest tines wins.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

2 for hand feel alone

[–] seeigel@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Unfortunately not.

[–] egircys@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

All are bad. If I'd have to choose, it'll be in the order 1, 2, 4, 5, 3.

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 13 points 5 hours ago

Trick question. These are all terrible, therefore I will eat with my fingers.

[–] Tanuki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 hours ago

None of these, I refuse to use forks, only sporks.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hello. I like rusty spoons.

None of them; my forks are best

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 4 hours ago

1, but these all suck ass.

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 28 points 8 hours ago

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