Everyone is busily selecting a fork, and I'm trying to figure out if the apostrophe was an intentional troll ..

[–] LuckyPierre@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago
  1. Small forks go faster.
[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 119 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 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? 😡

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 56 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (28 children)

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:

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

[–] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Definitely 2. All other answers are just plain wrong.

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

[–] CuteLuciii@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

For me it's 5 times the same fork 🤔

[–] GodyGade@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (4 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.

I like the one that doesn't have an unnecessary apostrophe.

I actually own the cutlery set that 5 is from. Because it was the best option at IKEA at the time.

[–] MashedTech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

2, but I feel like none is good enough. Or sturdy enough. I need 2, but thicker body

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

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

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.
