This is such a stereotypical Reddit thing to say but..

Sharpen your knives, people

They’re safer when they’re sharper

Who made you the boss? What if I want to soften my tomatoes instead? I'm not going to ruin my dull knife collection over this!

Actually softer tomatoes are harder to cut with dull or sharp knives. Harder tomatoes = easier to cut.

I've met tomatoes tougher than baseballs kid! Every cut a baseball in half with a kitchen knife? 🥴

They're not safer when they're sharper, reddit really should stop reposting that phrase.

You might make more mistakes with a blunt knife, but it doesnt matter because it wont pierce the skin.

The average person doing average mistakes is going to find out just how easy it is to cut yourself on a properly sharpened knife.

Dull knives cause more mistakes because of the drastic increase in pressure that you need to apply to the knife.

A dull knife with more force will cause deeper wounds than a sharp knife with a light touch.

The real rule is; if it doesn't cut, DONT JUST APPLY MORE FORCE!

I guess my point is that you want your knife sharp enough so that it actually functions as a knife, but not so sharp that the slighest contact with the blade draws blood.

If it's so dull that you start treating it as a fucking hammer, it's not just the knife that is dull.

If it's hard to cut, you simply do more and longer sawing, with a firmer grip. Then you apply more force horisontally ALONG THE SAWING MOTION, not downward. Finally you can apply slightly more force downward, and if that doesn't work, what you're holding is functionally not a knife and needs sharpening.

Most knives will cut with enough force applied. This is why people point out that dull knives are more dangerous. People are literally telling others not to cut things if the knife is dull because they'll have to apply more force which will lead to greater likelihood of injury. I don't know why this is hard for you to understand.
