came to say something like this. when something perforated rips properly its a cause for celebration.

We can all rip these fine. You're not telling me you got cursed, are you? It's such an easy one to avoid - just don't tread on the cracks in the pavement. You went and trod on a crack, didn't you?

You are about 4 decades late with this curse.

Sometimes I can get toilet paper and paper towels to not have a little corner torn off. But 'easy open' card board boxes where you just have to squeeze a perforated tab on? That thing is gonna be a disaster. It always folds weird instead of tearing or rips outside of the perforation, causing structural failure. That Mac and Cheese box is gonna look like I tried to pry it open with a spoon, guaranteed.

I have average sized fingers and it isn't a strength thing, I just can't figure out how to put the right pressure on the perforation for it to give without taking everything with it.

My 1080p rips always come out 720p with artifacts, goddamnit!

Your optical discs are perforated?
