Is this a think skin problem im too calloused to understand?
By the way, anyone ever got a bread crust cut? I did. On my own baked bread.
Society will never go fully paperless. If we would have it would have been around 1998. Though I suppose depending on which apocalypse scenario gets us, there will be a time when paper cuts are a rarity only suffered by the few brave souls who scavenge the ruins of the Before Times.
-98?
How?
Mobile data connections were dogshit even here in Finland up until late 00’s.
People will start cutting themselves on razorthin smartphones instead.
“I got a razorthinsmartphonecut at the office today” sounds a bit funny
this is honestly a solid shower thought👍
must’ve had a great shower✨
Great except for my shampoo irritating the paper cut on my finger 😄
I’m clumsy enough that I’ve got a “paper cut” from aluminum foil while preparing dinner.
Are the cuts from packaging different then?
Never heard of cardboard cuts…
Cardboard cuts are absolutely a thing, like a paper cut on steroids.
I used to work in a warehouse and spent most of my day opening, resealing, making, and breaking down boxes. Spend enough time around them and the boxes will get you.
Yeah but does anyone call them that? I’d still call that kind of fine cut a paper cut.
Never heard anyone say “ow I’ve got a cardboard cut”
We do at my warehouse. They are usually worse than a standard papercut so the distinction does say something
I call it “box attack”
Don’t forget the extreme dryness ptsd_dog.png
Considering I will probably never get to own a house, cardboard cuts will always be a thing.
I had to send mail to the government recently and got a freaking paper cut on my tongue as I licked the envelope glue to seal it. 😬
Use a damp sponge next time, unless you write a letter to your lover in the dragon realm. That one should contain your saliva.

Tell me more! How does one acquire a lover in the dragon realm?
Most use a dating app named Cinder
Hah… I assume you were referencing this, but just in case you’re not familiar…

I can see in the future paper cuts becoming an Olympic sport, like sword fighting. People of the future will stand in a ring with two pieces of paper and will try to make a cut on their opponent’s piece of artificially grown skin, placed at the center of their chest. People will cheer as the athletes try to cut their opponent with an ancient piece of technology
Paper cut is just one of the way the tree ghost exact revenge, there’s plenty of opportunities.
Aren’t they already?
I got my pet meds handed to me in a paper bag and somehow managed to give myself a paper cut getting the cat into the car while holding this bag. It was the first paper cut I’ve had in years, and my reaction was “I wonder if this is still recyclable.” Still better than plastic bags, I suppose.
This post was inspired by me wondering how I got one. I’m pretty sure it was from opening junk mail, one of the few ways I interact with paper anymore.
