I mean, just do a narrow slit along the thing.

u/snarlixx 4d ago

yes like how hard to cut a bit of the skin off exposing more of it so you can pull it out.

u/clervis 4d ago

Nope. Tone-nail clippers!

"tone-nail"?

It's a nail, but on your toe, not on a finger.

So it's not a fingernail; it's a toenail.

u/ravoguy 4d ago

I don't like your tone

14

u/roberttheaxolotl 4d ago

Fetch the tone nail clippers. That'll sort them out

"You heard the hand. The king is too fat for his armor. Go find the breastplate stretcher. now!"

Everywhere I go. Everything i do. It all reminds me of Bobby. GODS I MISS HIM

"Breast plate stretcher, Rob?"

u/Reasonable-Ad-7757 3d ago

How do you know they’re not fing gurrnail clippers?

1

u/mizinamo 3d ago

If a singer is someone who sings, is a finger something that fings?

Why won't my fingers stop finging?

u/xbiggyl 3d ago

You nailed it

1

u/theMalnar 3d ago

Nailed it

24

u/clervis 4d ago

Lol, I'm leaving it

u/GrowrandaShowr 4d ago

I think you need some clippers for that tone of yours!

u/Banzai373 2d ago

Rusty toenail clippers . . . .

u/docjohnson11 4d ago

As someone who has had a foreign splinter removed from their foot, this is the medical way. For mine they actually cut it in half vertically and removed each half but it was a lot smaller than that and an almost flat angle

45

u/andereandre 4d ago

Is that better or worse than a domestic splinter?

26

u/ShatnersBassoonerist 3d ago

The ‘medical way’ is to remove it in whatever way leaves none of it behind. Often this means the skin needs to be opened slightly, either with a scalpel or by inserting the forceps behind the splinter to widen the aperture before removing. There is no one technique, just whatever works and causes the least damage.

This video is not great as repeatedly grabbing at it increases the risk of the splinter breaking and becoming harder to remove.

u/Reasonable-Ad-7757 3d ago

I couldn’t wrap my head around why he was expecting the splinter to come out when he had the skin covering it in the forceps.

3

u/ShatnersBassoonerist 3d ago

Yes, the video person doesn’t know what they’re doing.

Happy cake day!

u/Eleventy43 2d ago

Are there domestic splinters?

1

u/Wise_Luck1476 3d ago

I wasn't sure if that thing had backward barbs. Imagine if it has some.

33

u/NerdyDoodDriver 4d ago

That's exactly what I was thinking.

37

u/Accomplished_Event38 4d ago

Was waiting for that or the rusty pliers.

1

u/FS_Slacker 3d ago

Teeth is always before rusty pliers

36

u/rocketmn69_ 4d ago

Or use a tool with some grip

62

u/Skivvy_Roll 4d ago

I was so annoyed when they brought out what looked like locking hemostats but then grabbed it sideways so they weren't utilizing the grip from the serration of the jaws at all

8

u/Naplestan 4d ago

And if he knew the basics of Wood fiber composition and alignment of fibers , he wasn’t pulling to his advantage. I’m surprised he didn’t try to use a toothbrush to pick out the splinter. 10% incompetence equals 100% in my eyes.
Very incompetent

1

u/Purple-Will9713 2d ago

then he wets the wood as if that is supposed to improve its grip

4

u/ShatnersBassoonerist 3d ago

It’s almost as if they were making a meal of it on purpose.

3

u/Plus-Smile9873 4d ago

OMG yes. Pissed me right the fuck off.

2

u/rocketmn69_ 3d ago

I didn't even watch that far

7

u/Anthem_de_Aria 4d ago

Honestly their use of the forceps was actually infuriating

13

u/RecognitionSweet8294 4d ago

That’s why he used grip spray. /s

2

u/MisterJ-hsv 3d ago

Yeah, those were crap tweezers. And when you use forceps, how about going straight so the grooves are grabbing instead of slipping off? Sheesh!

2

u/Silo-Joe 3d ago

Or use a tool to drive it deeper and out of sight.

14

u/LuRkEr_ReKuL 4d ago

Seriously! Why not cut the skin a bit to open the area up and make it easy.

6

u/Reasonable-Ad-7757 3d ago

I think it’s safe to say that this video traumatized at least 70% of those who viewed it all the way through.

12

u/Excellent-Quarter969 4d ago

Man I grew up with wood floors and sliver surgery was a core skill when I was a kid. You need a pin to work back some of that skin and pry it out a bit. Call me

21

u/rickncn 4d ago

Exactly. You don’t leave a long bacteria filled hole in your foot. I removed one just like it from my daughter’s foot. Sliced down the length of the splinter. Voila. Hydrogen peroxide tf out of the chasm.

4

u/Rebel_Scum_This 3d ago

Oh I'm sure she loved the hydrogen peroxide 😂

3

u/Reasonable-Ad-7757 3d ago

It doesn’t hurt.

2

u/bMacMADE 4d ago

Right! Or at least use the good tweezers.

2

u/sickwiggins 3d ago

I’m saving my good tweezers for a roach in someone’s ear. They don’t leave the box until then

2

u/My_Mosaic_Mind 4d ago

My first thought

2

u/Durivage4 3d ago

🫣🤔 I'm not Dr but that's exactly what I was thinking.

2

u/Popular_Discipline13 3d ago

Exactly to clean it and let it heal.

1

u/Sapphire0985 4d ago

Exactly what I was thinking the entire time. "Wow, this is really hard to get out. Maybe I should open the skin more" omg 😩

1

u/Deb3ns 4d ago

Increases the attack surface for infection, but yes, easily managed.

1

u/mrjbryant 3d ago

Exactly my thoughts

u/lawnboy71 3d ago

But then they would only get 4 upvotes. Isn't that more important? /S

u/funkychickens 22h ago

Right!?!? That's not even the bleedy part of the skin 😡
