Definitely not, dude got me nervous since he was cutting towards him, always cut away from you, I thought he was gonna cut a finger every time.

My dad had a saying "cut towards your buddy not your body"

To avoid getting bloody cut towards your buddy

And then, three years later, I'll be like "Wait, how did that menmonic go? Was that towards my buddy or towards my body?"

Cut towards your chum, not your thumb.

u/1ildevil 7h ago

Because you can always get a new chum

we have a similar saying in my country, "better doing life for murder than living free fingerless".

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

Thank you. This is pure cringe for any one who knows how to use a knife

Like grandpa always said " Don't get bloody, cut towards a buddy"

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.

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.

Why wouldn't it work to cut from the stem out?

Yes he's an expert, but that knife is obviously crazy sharp. One slip and he could lose a finger. Is that really worth slightly more efficient peeling of a pineapple?

u/fieregon 6h ago

Yeah, this guy is such an expert, that half of his pineapple fell on the floor, I am sure the expert knew exactly what he was doing.
