  1. 1 is also nice, every other choice is heresy.
[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't really like any of these.
Ideally, #3's head on #1's handle

Edit: I'm torn between the head of 2 and 3
2's head is more satisfying, but 3 is more practical for spoon-adjacent tasks like scooping rice

2, if I wanted it to be round, I'd have grabbed a spoon.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 9 points 12 hours ago

Also team 2

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

It depends.

[–] pitiable_sandwich540@feddit.org 4 points 10 hours ago

1 is the one you leave in the drawer till it's the last one or use for stuff you don't want to risk your other forks for...

[–] wezzzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

3 speaks to me I like 😋😋

[–] ifeelsick@lemm.ee 0 points 5 hours ago

number 5 for its solid structure and good distance between prongs

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

All but 5 look like cheap crap and I don't like 5 for forks sake

[–] PurpleGameBoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago
[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

2 and 3. 1 and 5 are too short, they're last resort shit

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 102 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (29 children)

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? 😡

Clearly its the tines of 2 and the handle of 5. Anything else is madness.

My reasoning is quite simple. The tines on the No.2 fork are longer than the others. Long things are often associated with quality, status and refinement (Long fingers, long lashes, long legs etc.). The extra length suggest dexterity and precision.

Conversely the comparatively stubby tines of the No.1 fork would likely suit a toddler or an adult who isn't allowed near pointy things without supervision. Similarly the tines of the No.5 fork suggest that this utensil was born wanting to be a spoon but then was made into a fork at the last minute. This hypothesis is further supported by the rounded end of it's handle which would suit a spoon rather well.

Numbers 3 and 4 forks are usually, in my experience found in establishments where you help yourself to cutlery from big pots with grubby labels marked "SPOONS", "KNIVES" and "FORKS".

Now to the handles. Although the tines of the No.2 fork are pleasing, it then lets itself down with a handle that widens to the point of absurdity. Perhaps the thought was that it would help the extremely aged keep a firm grip while spooning tapioca past loose dentures.

So a cleaned up fork made from an amalgam of the refined tines of No. 2 fork and the pleasantly rounded handle of No. 5 are the only option for any adult with reasonable dexterity.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I want to say 2 because longest fork depth, but 4 has that round mouth feel with still good fork depth without being too aggressive about the curvature like 5. The thicker outer prongs grip slippery/heavy food better too.

I'm going 4.

Also because 2 has that annoying fin. The worst forks do that, and also curve down. Hurts my hands, but I'm a giant with bear paws so YMMV.
