      Is this the dipstick that tried it with a carrot, it cut the tip off and then said he was going to try it with his finger to be sure?

        I don’t see “dipstick” in the wild very often, but I always appreciate it. Are you English by any chance?

          I am not. I had a vulgar word there, and decided to tone it down a little.

      A baby carrot

      It takes about the same force to bite through a baby carrot as it does to bite through a finger

      As long as the carrot is pretty close to the size of the finger you’re wishing to stimulate

      I wish I didn’t know that

        This isn’t true, and I know it as a fact. I’m not gonna tell you how I know, but I know.

        Biting through a human finger bone takes much more force than it does to bite through a fucking carrot.

            Ever eaten oxtail? Even after it’s cooked, tendons and shit is really hard to bite through. Way harder than a damn carrot.

              For real. If fingers were that easy to lob off nobody would make it to middle age with all of their digits.

              Tendon after 6 or so hours simmering or 1 hour in a pressure cooker and you got my favorite pho add in.

        Having done my time as an Army medic, this is incorrect. It takes more force than that, but less than you might think. A good 25 kilos with some velocity behind it will easily sever a phalange. Up it to 50 or 80 kilos and you can claim an arm or shin. Mass is the real killer. I’ve seen a vehicle at comically slow speed absolutely yeet someone because it had several tons of momentum behind it.

        I wish I didn’t read that, and then read it again repeatedly trying to process what I just read. Lol. I’m sorry.
