    My partner has ADHD and autism and they swear by 5. That’s IKEA’s cheap fork and in our house I’m forced to use all the other forks (which are better so whatever). In their words: “all the other ones are too pointy”. I don’t fucking know.

    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.

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

      My guess is neurodivergents tend to be more militant in our preferences because the factors that affect the choice weigh a lot heavier on us. Like how loud crowded areas aren’t really pleasant for anyone, but it can be down right crippling for neurodivergents because of how severe the over stimulation is.

      Wow we are so different. I don’t even want to be in the same room as 5. I like the edges to be straight straight straight like a hitscan ray no bend tyuuuuu ^^

        It doesn’t, that’s Ikea’s fork, I know it. It’s super uncomfortable for me but I’m the neurotypical in the house, my partner only uses those.

    2 if I’m cutting with a knife, 3 for cake, 5 for pie, 1 for a shitty salad bar salad just for the nostalgia, and 4 for that hard to reach spot between the shoulder blades.

    Definitely not 5 because it looks like it’s trying to be a spoon, but you can’t eat soup with a fork (well, technically you can but it’d take a long time).

    Depends on the weight for me.

    All those with cupped handles look light and need the cupping for structural support, but 5 is thick in the right way. The head is wrong, though.

    All heads are wrong for me. Either to long vor thick. And 1 is to rectangly.
