5 is an IKEA fork

Source: I have an IKEA fork

Handle of 5, prongs of 3.

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

None of them are great, all too thin and probably have hard 90° edges from being stamped cheap metal, but maybe 2. Five can fuck off, too wide and trying to be a spoon, the rest are too narrow in the handle.

Number 2, obviously.

Handle of 5 with any other head 😭

Definitely 2.

2 GANG RISE UP

2. Most efficient, can hold the most food, doesn't spread the food by wide sides which would get the food stuck

Number 2.

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

2 for hand feel alone

2 with 3's handle,

2's head is just weirdly always satisfying

but 2's handle is a bit comical

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

2 is best. 5 is tolerable.

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

The best fork for what?

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.

Also team 2

3 or 2-with-5's-handle

3

They all lack thickness but 2

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

I guess I’m picky. I don’t like any of these lol. I’d pick 4 off these were all in a drawer together, though.

2 but 3 would do as a second tier choice if 2 was dirty.

Also whoever said the tines of 2 and the handle of 5 is correct.

2 for a meal, 5 for snacks and desserts

1 or 3. I cant stand forks with curved outer tines. 2 is good but i prefer a straight handle over a curved one. My preferance leans towards 3 though as 1 looks like it would have slightly sharp stamped edges.

2

I like none of them

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 dont like any of them :(

All of these fail. This is like one of those pick the baddie out of the line up things, except all of these have done some shitty things. 3 is the closest I guess, but the handle fails hard.

2 and 5. 1 is fine, i hate the others.
