Looks pretty standard to me

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 1 points 50 minutes ago

I like the 3 increasing gaps in the tines.

8/10 dessert fork conversation piece.

Also stealthy stabby. Might hide in a hidden emergency drawer.

  1. It's not a good spork.
[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

I am particular about forks and spoons, preferring they are thin and relatively straight - this fork looks too thick, but I don't mind how narrow it is

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

5 because it at least appears to do the job

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 15 points 15 hours ago

Fuck OP for posting this awful fork/10

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 14 hours ago

  1. I hate it, but it appears functional
[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

Limited usefulness because it's too narrow. Don't like the asymmetry. Appearance looks a little crude. I wouldn't want one. Tines seem overly sharp.

Probably good for getting olives out of jars.

[–] Mrkawfee@feddit.uk 82 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Reminds me of an early Bart Simpson

Pretentious restaurant/10. They're going to serve you bubbles or pour chocolate sauce on your hands or some dumb shit.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 points 17 hours ago

This fork isn't stamped out of sheet steel. It appears to have been forged out of a round bar stock. For that alone, it receives high marks, despite the unconventional appearance.

8/10.

[–] jim3692@discuss.online 3 points 15 hours ago

I prefer this one. Way more area in the handle for better grip.

I immediately downvoted this fork.. then scrolled back because I hate the fork, not the post. -238/10

[–] tryagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago

Doesn't matter what the scale is: it's still zero.

[–] kwilson@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

I'd give it a perfect 5/7

Insulting/purely decorative out of 10.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not specific but technically follows the set rating system

[–] piefood@feddit.online 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

It looks like someone made a fork based on a toddler's drawing of a fork

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I rate everything like Jason from The Good Place, a 1 to 13 scale with 8 as the highest. I give this a 10.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Number five is number one. Number seven is number two. Number three and number four are tied for number three.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 15 hours ago
[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Crab Fork

8/10 dependent on reasonably sized crab to accommodate.

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

Also good for oysters!

[–] hissingmeerkat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

Certainly less than a full 4.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why TF is Lemmy's nerodiversity waypoints forks and bricks?

I mean, that's half of mine. How did we get here?

Edit: 2/10. I hate it, but it has heft.

[–] Nariom@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

3.145183813819291837

Specific enough?

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess but I'd prefer a rational answer.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

That is a rational number

Yes, that's technically allowed.

[–] Badabinski@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago

backscratcher/10

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

That looks like a fork at a restaurant where they try to convince you that this fork is better than a regular fork. With this fork, you get to experience the chefs childhood struggles growing up in poverty, withou proper tools to succeed in life. As you fumble around trying to scoop up your cashew foam and baked stick.

3/10 for the artistic expression
1/10 for the meal

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can not rate this based on this photo. It doesn't even show the complete fork. And how much does it weigh? Where's the banana for scale?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)
[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

That's somehow worse

[–] Kabulanolac@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

It looks like a Botero painting

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Zero thousand.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

More practical than many Star Trek forks

[–] Wutchilli@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

3/10 Probably balanced OK and has a certain comfy weight in your hand. But the shape is , all by very distinct, no good at differentiating between handle and fork head. Function wise is the ability to poke food with the fork in question OK but could be improved. But the ability to scoop things up is lost with this fork, the head is just to small and to thick. And i personally hate the different dept oft cut in the forkhead.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago
[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 22 hours ago

4/10.

Great for its intended use, but performs very poorly at some fork functions.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

4/10, not for the unique tines but for the bulbous and tapered handle. Not as comfortable to hold and use as your standard fork.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago
[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like it has good mouth-feel. As a fidget toy, 5/10; as a fork, 2/10

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 4 points 20 hours ago

You like a good mouthfeel don’t cha
