    Sharp sticks hurt less…

    What?

      Yeah, equally deep and long injuries with a sharper implement destroy fewer cells (since they have a smaller cross-section), cause less trauma, and are less disruptive to the surrounding tissues. I know it’s unintuitive, but it’s true.

      The dull stick is going to gouge your eye out entirely. I have no frame of reference of what would hurt more, but I guess that would be it.

        No a dull stick would probably fuck your eye up, a sharp stick will absolutely destroy your eye.

          That entirely depends on how deep the stick goes into your eye - though at some point it won’t matter anyway.

            Yes if fired the dull stick out of a fucking cannon it would destroy the eye, how many bits of criteria are we going to add to this (what should be anyway) very straightforward analogy?

              There are times when a clean cut hurts less than a crude one. We’re not talking about actual damage done, which wasn’t part of the analogy to begin with.

                Dude you’re talking about shoving a stick into your eye. What part of a stick will provide a clean cut?
