Usually if onions are making you cry it’s because your knife is too dull!

I wanted to point out that Dull Knife would be a great addition to !fakebandnames@lemmy.world but apparently they really exist

A sharp knife helps, but there's only so much you can do.

Well, you can also use it to slice properly instead of chopping.

Yep, I haven't had this problem for a while.

While that could make it worse, a sharp knife won't avoid it completely.

Or you angered onion god and now wrath of god is upon you.

Unrelated but reminder that dull knives are significantly more dangerous than sharp knives
