Wow, the disease just stopped killing people!

[-] mathemachristian 14 points 1 month ago

Oh wow I actually understood what you said

Oh! Is your specialty also communications-based?

I’ve got a degree in scientific and technical communications and what you said is a dream to hear!

Its maths so kinda 😅 the sign of true mastery over a theorem is finding the least convoluted way to prove it.

one of the reasons why sharp knives are safer than dull knives generally

though that wisdom is more applicable to cooking

[-] rustyricotta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 month ago

I've always thought that dull knives are more dangerous because you have to put a lot more force to cut something, and when it suddenly does, all that force could go wildly.

[-] OboTheHobo@ttrpg.network 21 points 1 month ago

That too, honestly thats the more significant reason. Shaper knives give cleaner cuts which heal easier was the point i was making, but yeah the bigger reason is that you have much better control with a sharp knife and need way less force.

Also, a good sharp knife will cut with chopping push down. A less sharp knife requires a slicing move.

It's really hard to cut yourself with a chopping motion .

Not according to my partner's family! I sharpened one of the kitchen knives and was told it was too sharp. I had grown bored of having to saw through onion skins

Cut myself while grafting after sharpening my knife and got the same compliment.

The blade shall keel

A sword shouldn’t be as sharp as a knife though as the edge will nick very easily.

This happened in an episode of This Old Tony.

Nice sharp knife.. Good present for your mother..

Almost sliced the tip off my thumb while whittling. Got the same compliment. AND they complimented my pain tolerance, no oxy for me, just some local anaesthetic for the stitches. Little did they know that was just the nerve damage, it's still a bit numb a year later.
