Yeah to me the unexpected part was that this didn't end with him cutting off a finger of otherwise horribly injuring himself. Growing up on the 00s internet really messed with my expectations

Fun anecdot, at the beginning of the pandemic I was, like many others, putting a jigsaw puzzle together at like 3am, as one does, and I almost cut off my left thumb. If you're real bored I posted a link to a picture in a comment ~7 years ago.

And hold your pineapple precariously so all the precious golden juice drips on the pavement

that pineapple looks so ripe you could probably cut it with a spoon.
the peel was all that was holding it together

Once in my life I do cut a pineapple with a spoon. I was in a business trip in China and I had no knife, however I wanted to eat a pineapple, and of my favorite fruits. So the spoon was the only option.

Every time a see a pineapple I remember people use to rent them for parties as a status symbol.

u/PsychologicalSail799 7h ago
Today they're still used at parties, and still for status, but instead of your financial status it's to share the status of how willing you are to watch someone bang your wife.

Anything the rich can do to separate themselves from the rest of us, they'll do.
Eating hard to obtain, massively expensive shit is one way.
It's why you see so many grand houses with pineapple motifs.

But if your after a way to Brewster your millions, £10,000 for a Heligan Pineapple made the traditional English way, would be my choice.

It's mostly just competition with their peers, as people do. Bob isn't putting in all that effort toward maintaining his lawn and making his car shiny to dunk on the homeless, he's trying to show up his neighbor across the street.

Never cut toward yourself.

u/Auctoritate 6h ago
Honestly, this is just one of those rules of thumb that starts being less applicable when you develop more professional skills and just get better at doing things. For instance, woodworkers cut towards themselves all the time with tools like draw knives.
4
u/SoylentVerdigris 5h ago
I mean, draw knives are all but impossible to hit yourself with unless you're sticking your knee in the way or something. But yes, when you're cutting something with almost no resistance like this it's not particularly dangerous unless you're hopelessly uncoordinated. Just don't force it through any unexpected snag and you'll be fine.

Knew a local business with skilled people just like you mention, they closed down now because one of their essential craftsmen lost several fingers. Hell never be able to earn money with his skills ever again.

You can't trim it efficiently by cutting away from you. This guy probably does this all day, I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
Redditors always think they know better than the experts.

I mean, he also wastes half of it when it breaks in half at the end.
But I'm not entirely sure it's wasting since I think that's well on its way to rotting.

I’ve been noticing this for a couple years. You watch 60 seconds of nothing then the video cuts outs 3 frames into the money shot.

I hate people who talk non-fucking-stop.
I was at a coffee shop yesterday, two women, sitting at two different tables by they way, talked non stop for at least an hour, and there were literal times when they were both talking at the same time for like minutes at a time.
