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 can see where your thought came from😄
hope it heals quickly!
Considering I will probably never get to own a house, cardboard cuts will always be a thing.
Cardboard cuts make papercuts look like… papercuts.
I’m clumsy enough that I’ve got a “paper cut” from aluminum foil while preparing dinner.
By the way, anyone ever got a bread crust cut? I did. On my own baked bread.
Inside my mouth, yeah
I doubt society will go fully paperless, there are times when you need a thing that can be crushed, folded, whatever and doesn’t run out of battery, so unless e-ink technology develops in a very specific way I don’t think every eventually will be replaced, and even without purely functional applications I think art would never ever go fully paperless for many data security (leaking art before it’s complete), economic (things are more expensive when they’re limited in supply, and making either legal or illegal copies of digital things is so much easier) and sentimental reasons (it’s just nicer to have something physical) reasons
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”
I call it “box attack”
We definitely called them cardboard cuts, can’t say how universal it is but every job I’ve where I’ve handled a lot of boxes it seems to be in pretty common use
if a papercut is like being cut with a switchblade, a cardboard cut is like being cut with a saw.
Oh there’s plenty of paper and non-paper out there to do the same damage. Ever cut yourself on cardboard? How about those plastic straps they put around heavy boxes and packages? Or my personal favorite, splinters and burrs. Glass, rock, metal, sheets of plastic - anything thin will do if you hit it at just the right angle. It’s a tossup as to which bonus location is worse, under the fingernail or across the finger webbing. Or if you’re REALLY unlucky, the eye. a scratched cornea is no joke. Wear your safety glasses kids.

Is this a think skin problem im too calloused to understand?
Oh, they’ll find a way. Let me tell you mylar papercuts leave nice scars.
Don’t worry. There are still box cutter cuts.
I got a paper cut from grabbing a cornstalk this week.
well what about when society goes fully cornless ?
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.
Imagine the paradise slaves were living under, they could never be the victims of pay cuts.
