We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.
The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.
Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

There is a theory that a sharp knife will help you not cry, a dull knife tears the onion more and releases more sulfuric acid, a sharp knife just cuts with less tearing so there is less making you tear up.
good theory, but last month I cooked with friend, was chopping onions, lots of them, it's a small kitchen not very well ventilated. everyone had to leave with tears, with me not feeling barely anything.
