MODERATORS
You cannot know the answer without seeing the underside of the forks. How will you know if they correctly conform to the curvature of your thumb and/or fingers.
One of the best gifts my partner got me was completing a set of cutlery I had grown to love via eBay and other random shops. How she found decade old stuff in mint condition is beyond me.
What?
2 or 5
#2 and #3 Edit: no just #2
How thick are they?
Hard to say. It's 1 or 3.
2 has an annoying bulbous handle that upsets the balance and the tines take up too much of the fork space, leaving too little room for the little shovel bit at the back that can hold things that might fall through the tines a bit better,
5 is an utter nightmare of awful.
Some of y'all don't know about the yogurt test and it shows! 4 is the only correct answer.
None of em
5, easy
5, easy
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.
- But I'd still grab 5 just to watch the world burn.
None of them are usable. If I had to take one, number 3. All the others are a sin.
Edi: I must agree with others though, that the handle of 3 is very bad. Still, the shape of the head is more important to me.
You come here asking neurodivergents a question and you only give five options?
All of these options are terrible. You should feel ashamed, OP.
- 1 is also nice, every other choice is heresy.
#1 looks like it's for kids.
#3 & #4 aren't dry-fined enough.
A cross between #2 (weird end) & #5 (weird tip) would be perfect. In fact, I think mine at home is like that (on vacation right now so can't check).

2, if I wanted it to be round, I'd have grabbed a spoon.
Obviously depends on what you're about to eat
Handle of number 1, prongs of number 2.
2, obviously
None of these, I refuse to use forks, only sporks.
Anyone interested in developing a "Find your ideal fork" web app?
I for one would be very interested to see statistical preferences...
Sounds awesome but I don't know on what metrics you could qualitatively categorize forks, except for some obvious ones like prong length, handle start thickness, handle uniformity, ...
Edit: Darn you, I didn't need yet another project in my long long list. Now I can't stop thinking about it.
Damn, I already have more ideas.
I have a couple of ideas but I don't know which would be the easiest.
We could analyse and break down forks to their design features and then let people mix and match. This would take a lot of time though.
Alternatively we could scrape a bunch of fork images and build a large dataset. Then show two at a time to users and let them pick their preferred one repeatedly until we know the preference hieararchy for that user. Then compare users and divide them into demographics.
I guess it would also be possible to have a visual model and some edit options like make different parts longer / thicker. I feel this is unnecessarily complicated.
Another idea would be to break the fork into two or three parts. Not perfect but faster than exploring all design features. Tines, body, end for instance and let people either mix and match or do some for of a/b testing.
My expertise is in design so I can help with those aspects but coding I unfortunately cannot do. Would be a really fun project designwise too...
