meme.

I use esclusively dull knives for home cooking and ever had any problem. There are times when I think having a sharp knife would be better but if you are not retarded you can manage to cut anyway

Why is he poking the plutonium death orb with a screwdriver?

>>15784884
it's so it cant fall shut on itself, as that would trigger a meltdown. i believe he fucked that up regardless anyway if memory serves me correct

>>15784585
based

do i sharpen my knife with a honing rod or a whetstone as someone that just wants a sharp knife and doesn't care how it gets done

>>15784878
no
>>15784861
no

>>15784986
Honing rods are to realign the edge on a softer knife. Whetstones actually sharpen a knife. Cheap 1k/6k combo stones will get you shaving sharp with enough practice.

>>15783966
Dull knives are IMMEASURABLY safer to leave in the hands of an unpracticed prepper. I leave 2 knives so dull that you can smack the back of your knuckles with them and bruise before you draw blood.

Anyone who is starting out WILL cut themselves horrendously in time if they aren't dedicated to practicing. If you don't want take that risk (i.e. if you have children who want to learn, or have a kitchen staffed with kids and burnouts) they would be better left with a dull knife or a serrated plastic produce knife

Pretty sure it's the negroid race

>>15784912
Well clearly, the lid is smaller than the bottom, the screwdriver is nowhere near where the lid would close.

dull knives btfo.

>>15785219
the picture is from a recreation, just to show the method that the scientists used

Yes, dull knives are secretly way more dangerous than sharp knives. That's why samurai and medieval warriors famously dulled their swords on purpose because it killed their enemies more effectively.
Oh wait, that's fucking retarded. This meme needs to die.

>>15784912
yeah he did, dumb fuck died 9 days later, another guy in the room didn't get a lethal dose but still died 20 years later from heart failure which likely was a result from it, and that was the SECOND accident with it that resulted in a fatality, they did a pretty good scene about it in Fat Man and Little Boy

>The standard protocol was to use shims between the halves, as allowing them to close completely could result in the instantaneous formation of a critical mass and a lethal power excursion. Under Slotin's own unapproved protocol, the shims were not used and the only thing preventing the closure was the blade of a standard flat-tipped screwdriver manipulated in Slotin's other hand. Slotin, who was given to bravado, became the local expert, performing the test on almost a dozen occasions, often in his trademark blue jeans and cowboy boots, in front of a roomful of observers. Enrico Fermi reportedly told Slotin and others they would be "dead within a year" if they continued performing the test in that manner.[12]

>wait, so [obviously dangerous thing] is actually SAFER than [obviously less dangerous thing] because of SCIENCE?!? holy shit bros this is like totally paradoxical, this is like really challenging my instincts and assumptions right now!!
imagine actually falling for the "sharp knives" meme

>>15786284
Brunoise of what? Do you think a dull knife can't cut a celery or a tomato?

>>15786344
Why the hell do their irises close instead of their actual eyes when then close their eyes?

>>15786506
nah, Elephant's foot even when it was fresh still took a couple minutes before you got a lethal dose, Slotin got a lethal dose from the Demon Core after only a few seconds of exposure

>>15783966
Yeah, maybe, but I can't afford to buy a new knife every time it gets dull.

>>15783966

>>15784884
Guy was lowering neutron reflectors onto a core of plutonium using a fucking screwdriver to keep them separate (because if you don't keep them seperate you've just made a nuclear reactor in your lap) . He slipped, and when it dropped caused the demon core to go critical.

At that point he was already dead, he just happened to be walking around still. He *was* quick thinking enough to immediately pull off the reflector and make sure no one else in the room died of radiation poisoning, though several would die years later from radiation associated conditions. He also realized no one was wearing radiation badges and asked people get them, but since that'd be useless at the point he asked it's generally attributed to the fact he'd just had his brain microwaved.

I remember the medics working on him described what he'd gotten as '3-dimensional sunburn'. It took days for him to die, and if anything I view it as a serious argument for euthanasia to be performed by doctors. It's disgusting that no one just shot the poor bastard through the head when there was literally no chance for him to live, because his fucking DNA had been cooked.

that's an id tag you dumb faggot

>>15784585
yea dude its not too hard, get a grind wheel at least. I used the wheel then i hone with spyderco sharp maker. my knives are razor sharp

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER.

larn how to sharpen it

Jon Broida from Japanese Knife Imports has the best sharpening videos on youtube.

>>15787727
I have seen pictures of that Japanese nuclear power plant worker who was irradiated. The doctors kept him alove as a test subject even though he was begging them to let him die because the meat was literally falling off his bones. You can see his tibia and fibula through the sloghed off meat of his lower leg.

If ever I had a reason to sharpen a knife it would be to cut fucking tomatoes. You could cut celery and carrots with a ruler.

>>15784585

Knives should not be sold to Muslim refugees in the UK.

No, that would be modern liberals with power.

Same shit. They all must leave. Culturally incompatible.

It doesn't fucking matter unless you're a retard who use them with axe movements rather than like a saw.

>>15792690
if you ever tried filleting a fucking fish with dull knives? you must have no cooking experience if you think dull knives are somehow good enough for a person that actually cooks

>>15792775
Use a saw motion or like a boat in a stormy sea.

>>15792831
that way you get the shittiest fillets ever, and are you telling me professional fishermen use dull knives? you must be retarded. try it before you give your dumbass opinion brainlet

>>15792990
lmao professional fishermen don't fillet their fish you dumb faggot. they sell it. do you ever stop and think before opening your stupid mouth?

>>15793001
says the dumbass that has never filleted a fish in his life. I actually fish for my own fish frequently and prepare them. You need SHARP ass knives to get all of the meat of the bone or you end up with shitty fillets and a ton of wasted meat.

>>15792690
Cut a fucking tomato, you goddamn novice. Sharpness is key. Anything that skates is shit. Jesus Christ this board is full of young 20 somethings.

>>15792775
You really do need a sharp knife to filet fish, really nothing else though

>>15793021
It makes me sad that /ck/ is basically mall ninja /k/ tier when it comes to knife sharpness. It doesn't fucking matter.

>>15793049
Because they try sharpening and fail the first time. They don't learn how to do it, so they give up and adopt a "it doesn't matter" perspective so they don't look like dumb assholes. This is the nature of modern society.

>>15784585

>>15783966
I bought a 25$ 5 set of kitchen knives from the brand "Home hero". How is it, they haven't arrived yet.

>>15793021

How about a nigger with a knife

>>15788265
Except that’s actually how Slotin died. His screwdriver that he was using to keep the tamper off the demon core slipped and started the bomb exploding process. He got flashed with so much radiation he died.

>>15793049
At least that drunk luthier asshole seems to have fucked off for good.

>>15794398
Googled some pics, they are shit. Any knife that has that kind of flat bladeface, then that half inch of primary, hollow ground bevel is a piece of shit made in the cheapest way possible. Cutco is the same. Or KIWI brand knives, but at least they are upfront about their knives being pieces of shit, and they do actually cut despite of the shitty grind because they are decently thin, both behind the bevel and the whole blade.

Although I agree sharper knives work better, I don't believe they are safer. A sharp knife will pass with such easy resistance that you won't be able to move a finger out of the way until it is too late. I have only cut myself with a sharp knife. One may knick themselves with a dull blade, but sharp knives will go deep if they cut through. People typically don't cut themselves because the blade changes direction when it fails to break the skin. They cut themselves when they are rushing or make precise cuts that may put your hand in a compromising position.

Can I sharpen my cheap Farberware knives or do I need to upgrade to unlock this tech?

>>15784884
Apparently about half the people working at los alamos back then were legitimately retarded.

>>15788265
yes a film badge will surely save your life when you're blasted with lethal amounts of radiation

>>15795705
>Farberware knives
Any knife can be sharpened. You can glue a piece of 1.000 grit sandpaper onto a piece of plywood or timber, oil it up and use it as a whetstone. I do that for fun sometimes even though I have a number of pretty nice stones. The big issue with knives that have a bolster is setting the bolster back so there wont be any concave parts in the blade profile. If that happens you wont be able to rock smoothly anymore and the food will get cut through only partially where the concave spot is because the knife wont be touching the cutting board there.

I got a set of new silverware from Ikea and the butter knife is so sharp in the set it sliced my fucking hand open the other morning when I was making toast. I'm so used to my dull knives that it shocked me, I was like seriously

Demon core was involved in two criticality accidents. First dude accidentally dropped a tungsten carbide brick on it. Second dude decided to hold two reflector halves apart with a screwdriver, fucked up and let them come together causing it to go critical. Both scientists died rather painfully of acute radiation sickness.
