I can't take this anymore
send help
>>
are you not wearing your onion goggles for some reason
>>

It's a coin flip whether an onion will be strong enough to water my eyes when chopped up.
Less than a coinflip really.
>>
>>21606002
I only buy the strongest onions
>>
>>21605992
Get a mandolin, even if you're still going to cry at least you'll be done cutting onions sooner.
>>
Keep them in the fridge, cold onions don't burn eyes as much
>>
>>21606002
If you don't need onion goggles then your onions are poor.
>>
Go work in a hot sauce bottling plant, cleaning out 55 gallon food grade barrels of fermented peppers. I did this for a summer job in high school. My eyes never stopped burning.
>>
>>21605992
I never cry when cutting onions, am I doing something wrong?
>>
>>21606197
No you're immune because you cry every couple of hours about your rampant homosexuality >>21606197

this, chilling them slows down the chemical reaction

>>21606197
it depends on the onion. it's similar to how peppers can be hotter or milder depending on growing conditions.

My grandson can't stay erect with a condom on and our two dogs keep barking for more sex. Everyone's really upset about it.

I need advice.

Unlike all the faggots itt, you probably have a sharp knife and a better constitution than a 13yo girl

After you do the initial bisection of the onion, run cold water over the cut surfaces to help disperse the irritating compounds.
>>
>>21605992
Sure thing buddy, i'll send you a 60x45cm chopping board because that one is too small to ever be useful
>>
>>21605992
where's your slapchop you fucking retard? GUNNA SLAP YO NUTZ!

I swear you can build immunity to onion fumes. I used to always tear up while slicing onions, and now 10 years later it never happens anymore, even though I make genovese sauce on the regular which requires slicing 6-7 pounds of it.
Never give up, OP. You too can have my worthless superpower.

congrats you permanently damaged your nervous system

OP you've got three options.
1. Wear some science googles
2. Place your onion in the fridge about 10-15 minutes before slicing which makes them leech less gas when the cell walls are burst when cut
3. Do what I do and keep an ultra-cheapo small counter fan in the corner of the kitchen and turn it on beside your cutting board when doing prep work to blow the gas away before it reaches your face.

Surprisingly great idea honestly, can't believe i haven't thought of this myself.

That is a 13yo girl, just ate to much cheap estrogen soaked chicken.
>>
>>21605992
In addition to what other anons said I can assure you putting them in the fridge before cutting them works but what really helped me greatly was putting a really wet towel next to the cutting board.
>>
sometimes the oninon isnt spicy but when you cut into her and see the milk come on then you know the tears will soon flow
>>
>>21606012
Yes anon, use a mandolin as tears fill your eyes making it hard to see.
>>
>>21605993
>Not using the three mirror method
>>
>>21606197
OP is cutting them slow like mommy does.
>>
>>21606256
No it isn’t a sharp knife splits less of the onion so less juice squirts
>>
>>21607792
>I swear you can build immunity to onion fumes
you cannot build immunity to sulfuric acid.

Maybe *you* can't

>>21606197
Certain ways of chopping them does not release the mustard gas
>>
>>21605992
hold a piece of bread in your mouth when you chop onions, it helps to keep the onion juice from getting in your eyes
>>

How does he sell enough to make money? Onions are so inexpensive so he'd have to deal in volume which isn't happening on a bicycle. Does he charge like two dollars per onion? Are they fancy, artisan onions? Sorry, they can't possibly taste better than store onions. It's just not that kind of vegetable. I won't pay your prices. And yet I want to support guys like him.
>>
>>21606254
>>21606256
If you got a dull knife, making more of a slicing motion instead of tapping also helps

Look at the map next to him. He is in a third world country, he can make a nice living from his onions.

I make a nice living from my "onion" if you know what I mean...
