Unfortunately, Edgeworth divorced me and took the kids, but I think he'll come back eventually... For now, let's see what our friend Godot has to say! Anyways, are you on Team Forks or Team Knives?
mayb hed make a return on the topic of 3 things if possible E.I: best form of art: visuals such as paintings and sculptures, audio so music again, or culinary
I think it depends on weather you consider things like scissors to be a fork, by having two prongs, which I do. If you count every product with two prongs or more as a fork I think you’d end up with more forks than knives.
I think knives still win building on what the end result is, the 500 millionth victorinox swiss army knife was made in 2017, and since then, 6 million swiss army knives were made annually, resulting in about 540 million swiss army knives total, excluding the other knives. meaning there's 12.7 billion forks and 12.5 billion knives, and that's not even including things like hatchets, sickles, and polearms (which all fit the definition of a knife).
I would argue that the percentage of DISPOSABLE is an indication of metal varients. As plastic knives are USELESS, as they cannot cut anything I would expect knives ratio for disposable to be LESS than the non-disposable knives ratio(nobody wants to use disposable knives). Meanwhile plastic forks at least still manage their function. Thus there should be more eating knives(non-disposable) than non-disposable eating forks. My own cutlery draw has about same number of butter knives as forks. Typically when eating you use both a knife and a fork, so equal numbers are required. Also disposable sales is misleading as they are immediatly thrown in the bin thus cease to count. My main issue however is the definition of fork being only that of cutlery, and knife being so vague even airplane turbines count as they exist to "cut air"
The ending of "Hard R or no R" made me spit out my drink. This is slowly becoming one of my favorite series to watch. Tissue vs Papertowel or Mops vs Brooms have my vote.
Knives win, excuse the coming yapping, I like knives and it is 3am. (Editing to add maybe video games vs. DVDs lol) If it was just for eating, then there would be more forks, but food prep often needs at least one knife. Even when making something like soup, a knife is need for cutting the ingredients. There's also the food that doesn't require forks to eat. Breakfast foods like cereal and toast (some of the most common) are foods that don't require a fork. You often use a knife to spread things like butter on it. Now for the disposable utensils. Most places I've seen come in packs. Both utensils are in said packs, so it balances out. If it's just one, it is often the spork though. However, that's just for eating. The food still needs to be cooked, and as previously stated, a lot of food requires knives to make. Now if we take in other sorts of food places, knives are more common. For example, Asian foods are often eaten with chopsticks, but the food is still prepped with knives. It all depends on the place//culture. My Asian household had 1 fork for every 3-4 knives for example, cause we didn't really use forks, as we used either chopsticks or hands. On the flipside, my European half has an even amount for eating (forks, knives, spoons) but that does not count cooking knives. Let's just say that other fork sources are balanced with knives, such as the gardening tools. That still leaves weaponry. There are SO many bladed weapons (by definition things like axes count, but I won't for this cause meh). Knives and swords. There are A LOT of them. If we are counting ones that are intact, even some from the past would count. There are so many different types of knives for combat, camping and just general tools. Box cutters are very common still. Fabric cutters and knives are also very useful and those who deals with any sort of fabric probably has some. Knives aren't on the decline just cause there are no active wars that focus on close combat. Razors for shaving would also count by definition. Another topic I want to bring up are collections. Think of the many museums that display hundreds of historical blades, or the castles that show off what was used during its time. What about all the enthusiasts that collect dozens of them to show off. There are also people like cosplayers who have weapons for cosplay (whether these are considered is up for debate, but I've seen both foam weapons and those with dulled blades to stay legal). Places like Japan still create many blades for tourists, and knives from there are popular now that I think about it. Knives often come in sets, it's rare to see any fork set that doesn't include the other common utensils. Had more to say, but my brain is actively shutting down. TL;DR knives are many. Knives are based. Chop chop
I finally decided to subscribe today because I always stop by here to watch the latest debate, I hope this one will be as good as the rest, keep it up, man! ❤
Bro knows how to make us laugh when we need it. great job another great video! still as funny as the last one. also, I had this bizarre idea... Fruits vs. Vegetables?
Knives for sure. Forks are always paired with at least 1 knife. When you sit at a restaurant: 1 knife and 1 fork. When you buy sets of cutlery: X knives and X forks. Packs of plastic cutlery: X knives and X forks. Sometimes there are 2 forks, 1 for salad and 1 for the main dish, but there are also sometimes 2 knives, 1 butter knife and 1 steak knife. These instances can be considered to cancel each other out. When we move out of cutlery, there are far more types of knives than there are forks. Sure, we have tuning forks , sporks, and fireplace pokers, but there's butcher's knives, bayonets, pocket knives, kitchen knives, swiss army knives, swords, scalpels, etc... And this is before you get to the stone knives predating forks bit. Knives win for sure.
I would argue that some of the weapons brought up in the discussion don’t count as knives (in my point of view). I think there is a fine line between blades, swords, e.t.c and knives. Although some knives CAN be used as weapons, any other sharp tool used for killing purposes may not necessarily be knives.
It's not common, though you can still use knives as a fork. It would probably be a little dangerous though because the edge sliding out your mouth could cut you. However, I saw Godot mentioning how "swords, katanas, and axes can be considered knives". Now I looked up all these weapons/tools and compared them to the definition of a knife. I then also found their specific definitions. Comparing how all these tools and weapons are defined, there's definitely limits to what a "knife" can be. Katanas are classified as "long" blades. Katanas were also designed moreso as ceremonial swords rather than actual cutting tools like a knife. A knife is also always much shorter than that (unless I missed something, in which case, whoopsie). A sword also cannot really be counted as a knife. They do share the same characteristics except a sword will usually have two edges to slice with. Swords are also classified to be long blades that are longer than daggers, which are considered as knives. So swords definitely can't be classified as knives. I think what Godot tried saying was that everything with a blade attached to any handle or hilt counted as a knife, which is stretching the definition kind of far. Sure, a knife is literally just a blade on a hilt, but specific bladed weapons have special properties or designs that distinguish them from a knife. Holy cow I yapped LOL. If you somehow read all this or just skipped to the end, I'm on team forks with this one.
TL;DR, there is a limit to what a knife is classified as, it's just vague and takes some compare and contrast to distinguish. This throws some of Godot's points out the window, though not all of them. However this loss probably does mean there are more forks than knives.
Knife wins because every household has an equal amount of forks and knives for eating, since no one is buying forks to eat but no knives to eat, then you add cooking knives and you have at least 1 knife per fork + a cooking knife, then you add any knife that was made for war, gathering, or for any kind of tool and you get more knives in the world
okay this one is going to sound stupid at first but which is more; canon characters vs original characters when you really think about it it could make for a half decent debate
Easy, toothbrushes. You need less toothpaste because a full tube of toothpaste lasts for quite a while. You need a toothbrush for every person in your household, and homeless people don't count, they probably don't have toothpaste.
no way knives don't win this, just the fact they extend further into the past first off, and second off are used for more than eating or holding stuff while cutting which usually is done with a knife anyway makes it SO DAMN clear knives win, 0% chance forks win it's a general impossibility
Goku easy. Goku is based off of Sun Wukong who is canonically like quadruple immortal or something. Jesus is already dead and therefore loses by default.

Unfortunately, Edgeworth divorced me and took the kids, but I think he'll come back eventually...
For now, let's see what our friend Godot has to say!
Anyways, are you on Team Forks or Team Knives?
Forks. If you push with the side, you can cut quite a few foods!
There are clearly way more knives. Think of multitools!! Whittling, kitchen knives, plastic knives, ect..
mayb hed make a return on the topic of 3 things if possible
E.I: best form of art: visuals such as paintings and sculptures, audio so music again, or culinary
I think it depends on weather you consider things like scissors to be a fork, by having two prongs, which I do. If you count every product with two prongs or more as a fork I think you’d end up with more forks than knives.
Knifes of course !!! GO GODOT, SAVE US AAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL-
I think knives still win
building on what the end result is, the 500 millionth victorinox swiss army knife was made in 2017, and since then, 6 million swiss army knives were made annually, resulting in about 540 million swiss army knives total, excluding the other knives. meaning there's 12.7 billion forks and 12.5 billion knives, and that's not even including things like hatchets, sickles, and polearms (which all fit the definition of a knife).
And surgical knife. Knife in the name.
I would argue that the percentage of DISPOSABLE is an indication of metal varients.

Had more to say, but my brain is actively shutting down. TL;DR knives are many. Knives are based. Chop chop
You didn't just yap, you made a whole essay
i have an urge to animate the entire series with my own characters
PLEASE
Please do
That already sounds like a banger
I feel like this one is the best one of the bunch so far. I lost it at "go on, calculate your f***ing rakes"
This was the exact point I died laughing too
Imagine they hit us with the “one of every Pokémon vs a billion lions”
easy
the pokémon win
Knives 100%
The hard numbers and math truly being our these silly debates
LESGOOO SERIES IS BACK
Edgeworth did some edging, it was worth it.
How about something like “stringed vs percussion instruments”
Grand Pianos would be real funny for this.
What are there more of, Cats or Dogs?
(Love this series, thank you for it all!)
This feels in character especially for Pheonix
I feel like shops(including restaurants) v houses is a good one, it's simple with the options for use and should be relatively easy to find
I finally decided to subscribe today because I always stop by here to watch the latest debate, I hope this one will be as good as the rest, keep it up, man! ❤
Thank you, I will! :)
What a fight man. I love these. Next debate suggestion: Burgers or Pizzas
Which has more: notebooks or pencils?
Man this series is so good!
Pencils
Forks are technically around 4 knifes, according to the definition of knifes.
20 min? Dear god...
Bro knows how to make us laugh when we need it. great job another great video! still as funny as the last one. also, I had this bizarre idea...
Fruits vs. Vegetables?
The fiercest battles are the one's most likely to end up as draws XD
a new challenger has appeared 🗣🗣
YESS MORE,ALSO I LOVE HOW THE VIDEOS JUST GET LONGER AND LONGER
The ending… did they just forget the 12 billion knife part
Sea pitchfork. No, I will not elaborate.
I wanna be team fork but I know how many crappy pocket knives there are
Chainsaws, power saws, razors, and similar stuff to what's already said
Knives win
Knives for sure.
Forks are always paired with at least 1 knife. When you sit at a restaurant: 1 knife and 1 fork. When you buy sets of cutlery: X knives and X forks. Packs of plastic cutlery: X knives and X forks.
Sometimes there are 2 forks, 1 for salad and 1 for the main dish, but there are also sometimes 2 knives, 1 butter knife and 1 steak knife. These instances can be considered to cancel each other out.

And this is before you get to the stone knives predating forks bit.
Knives win for sure.
Suggestion: get this voice acted. Tbh, I would be down to apply to VA one side of the debate
I would argue that some of the weapons brought up in the discussion don’t count as knives (in my point of view). I think there is a fine line between blades, swords, e.t.c and knives. Although some knives CAN be used as weapons, any other sharp tool used for killing purposes may not necessarily be knives.
I think I fell in love with a video
When Godot was saying scissors, scissors have two blades and therefore, according to the definition you chose, they are forks.
Prongs not blades was the definition
if that was the case that would mean that each fork = at least two knives
so knives still win
Idea: is there more shoes or more socks?
It's not common, though you can still use knives as a fork. It would probably be a little dangerous though because the edge sliding out your mouth could cut you. However, I saw Godot mentioning how "swords, katanas, and axes can be considered knives". Now I looked up all these weapons/tools and compared them to the definition of a knife.

Also as a suggestion, for a future one you should have them debate about whether there's more Computers vs Phones!
Knife wins because every household has an equal amount of forks and knives for eating, since no one is buying forks to eat but no knives to eat, then you add cooking knives and you have at least 1 knife per fork + a cooking knife, then you add any knife that was made for war, gathering, or for any kind of tool and you get more knives in the world
also, I've never seen a single spork out of google Images so I think they're quite rare
spoons are the best eating tool
okay this one is going to sound stupid at first but which is more; canon characters vs original characters
when you really think about it it could make for a half decent debate
can i PLEASE join this discord i wanna see this live
which is more common: hard-flooring or carpet?
Who let bros cook
MORE
I have one...
Which has more?
PlayStation consoles or Xbox consoles
Lol i love these.
Next one: which has more, toothbrushes or toothpaste
Easy, toothbrushes. You need less toothpaste because a full tube of toothpaste lasts for quite a while. You need a toothbrush for every person in your household, and homeless people don't count, they probably don't have toothpaste.
@@Tundra-wx8le You didn't account for snacking
Are there more towels or blankets?
Lethal Company or Content Warning?
Lets gooooooo
Yey
no way knives don't win this, just the fact they extend further into the past first off, and second off are used for more than eating or holding stuff while cutting which usually is done with a knife anyway makes it SO DAMN clear knives win, 0% chance forks win it's a general impossibility
Shouldn't saws be considered as knives?
what about laptops and phones?
are there more DLLs in the world or EXEs?
Spork

Who wins: Goku or jesus
Goku easy. Goku is based off of Sun Wukong who is canonically like quadruple immortal or something. Jesus is already dead and therefore loses by default.
I'd win easy
Third.
