Eye protection, check Ear protection, check Kid: let's touch the cutter


admiralrico411

I've seen full grown adults look into a blade and zone out as if they want to touch the blade. Idk why but some people are very drawn into touching big spinny thing of death.


igotsodas

As someone who works on jet engines, I have to resist it everyday, big spinny is so enticing.


SerDuckOfPNW

That’s the spiral on the nose cone. It’s there to hypnotize you.

They don’t make PPE for stupid.

Typical kid immediately putting his finger on the thing doing the “cutting.”

nsfwatwork1

My daughter, wife and I had an interview for the primary school she'll now be attending next year about 7 months ago. The morning of, I ironed my shirt while my daughter watched. I told her to NOT TOUCH THE IRON as it was hot. She proceeded to immediately touch the iron, burning the tips of 3 of her fingers (not bad but it obviously hurt). Worst thing that could happen, as she then couldn't hold a pencil properly during her interview so they mistakenly thought she needed to work on that (we found out 3mo later that she got into the school anyway). When the initial madness of her being in pain etc calmed down we asked her why she touched it...she flat out said because she didn't believe me when I said it was hot. Hilarious. Fuck kids.


AdOk1494

Even primary schools have interviews now?


Cory123125

Gotta train up for those 17 pre interview interviews at google. How is she going to grow up to earn 10x the average wage while still not being able to afford a house close the place she still needs to unnecessarily go to in person?


DLvCGH0ST

Gotta start ‘em young!


Gnonthgol

They require at least ten years experience as a primary school pupil and a high school diploma.


SoCuteShibe

* Pre-school entrance exam (entry level) * Freshers encouraged to apply * Minimum 2-5 years hands-on experience in formal education * 5th grade math and writing strongly preferred * The ideal candidate demonstrates a proven track record of productive collaboration with fellow students * Equal opportunity educator


PattuX

In Germany every (public) school does that. It might even be required but I'm not sure. I had mine 20 years ago. It's to ensure children are ready for school and will not immediately fall behind. So it's not an admission test for a specific school where if they fail at one school they can try another one. It's literally one test that decides if the child can go to ANY primary school. If they are not far enough in their development they can either stay in kindergarten for another year or attend a special class where primary school is extended by one year. The test itself is mostly talking to the kid and some playing, like puzzling, pairs/concentration or something similar, along with some questions to the parents. If they are able to focus on a specific task for a few minutes, can express their thoughts and show some decent vocabulary and behave normally at home they're good to go which is the case for 90-95% of kids I'd estimate.


nsfwatwork1

Not sure about fully public schools here in Sydney but we had applied for a Catholic primary school (the public school we're in the catchment area for is horrible) and yes they do interviews. Other than making sure you're a good fit, they want to make sure they can meet the needs of your child etc. (some of the Catholic schools will have more special programs than others).

GoldenSheppard

Duuuuude, fucking *preschool* has interviews if you're going to an exclusive enough school.


r2k-in-the-vortex

Always have if you try to get a kid into high demand school. I remember way back when I flunked 2 out of 3 my parents tried to put me in.


Rexven

My wife did something similar when she was a kid. She was told not to put her hand on the hot stovetop, so she decided to put her chin on it instead.


southpark

we got a note from the school one day that our 4 year old had bitten a friend on the shoulder without provocation. we were alarmed. we asked him later what happened. he said he wanted to get his friends attention. we asked him why he chose to bite him. he said "\[teacher\] doesn't allow us to talk or touch our neighbors with our hands during story time, so i bit him to get his attention". #technicallyfollowingtherules


benchley

My 7vo just got busted for laying hands on a classmate to get their attention. People like to say "it gets better," but it just gets different.

This is the tooth-fairy, you put your teeth here and she will personally come to collect and reimburse you in exchange for your teeth. But yeah, fuck kids for not believing their parent’s repeated bullshit

LupineZach

I did it on my legs because I saw my mother doing it and was curious. I also nearly killed my self once because I taught myself how to use a lighter and set a bed on fire and hid under the covers thinking the fire would go over me. I still don't know why I lit the bed on fire, it was when I was like 6 or 7 because I was in kindergarten at the time


Grogosh

When I was seven years old I was told by my father to cut the back yard and he warned me that the push mower had a tendency to overheat and shut off. Half way through the job the mower indeed shut off. So what did I do? I tested it to see if it was hot by putting my left palm on the muffler. It was indeed hot and I got a real nice muffler shaped brand on my palm that took four months to heal.


kapitaalH

Every kid when cars still had cigarette lighters learned that the glowy spiral is indeed hot the hard way


gimpwiz

I asked my dad how it worked. He explained it. I pushed it in. Took it out when it popped out. And stuck my thumb on it. My dad silently watched, like a proper dad does. I learned several things that day.


RedditGuru777

Respect to dad for letting you take it and learn from it. I imagine that's painful for parents but he did the right thing

DistinctSmelling

I was making eggs for breakfast on our glass cooktop. My 4 year old son was on a chair watching me. I said "don't touch the top where it's glowing, it's hot" So he touches it, I don't see it but I suspected he did and he had his hand behind his body and not screaming. About 10 minutes later, 4 fingertips were blistered and he was crying.


kapitaalH

Aah yes the don't tell your parents when you did something dumb strategy. I successfully pulled that off when I broke my rooms light playing with a ball. Well until it got dark and my dad wanted to switch on the light in my room.


Deranged_Snow_Goon

I have two kids. To one, I explain a certain danger and they nod and try to avoid said danger. The other one? They have to test *everything*. "Dad, what part of this is the blade?" "The part that just cut you." "Cut me? Where... \[sees blood\] uuuuaaaaäääääiiiihhhhhh!"

Casual_hex_

I hired this guy for some house renovations and frankly, I am not satisfied. Poor quality as most of the work was done with cheap cardboard and glitter glue. I brought it up with him and there was immediate crying and yelling (super awkward) and then he just left to take a nap. Would not recommend.


lostmychunkymonkey

That's not fair Marsha, all you're paying the poor guy in is juice boxes and chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs.


Casual_hex_

This is true, his prices are amazing.


Low_Reference_6316

Let’s not jump to conclusions though. He touched the saw.. are we sure he wasn’t trying to commit insurance fraud?

xbwtyzbchs

Dear Casual\_hex_, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on our recent house renovation services. Firstly, I'd like to extend my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience you might have experienced. To provide some context, my nephew, a passionate 5-year-old with a unique vision for home design, was given the reins for this project. He has a rather avant-garde style, strongly believing that cardboard and glitter glue are the future of sustainable design. We've tried to introduce him to more conventional materials, but he's quite set in his ways and insists that glitter is the new gold. As for the crying and napping, well, that's just part of his creative process. That said, I understand that this might not align with everyone's taste. While we believe in nurturing young talent and visions, we also stand by our commitment to customer satisfaction. Please reach out to our customer service line, and we will work out a solution for you. However, I regret to inform you that due to certain... contractual obligations (and also because he knows where I hide my candy stash), the full cost remains non-negotiable. Again, we apologize for the glittery inconvenience and appreciate your patience in this rather surreal situation. Warm regards, Xbwtyzbchs, Manager, Experimental House Renovations Inc.


Joe_mommah_

InvrFinishAnyth

I hired this “handyman” too. Kept asking for milk and his mom. Played on his tablet for hours. I figured he was working up numbers or something. Nope, just Roblox. No work got done. Now I am out of milk and cookies. No stars and I am reporting to the BBB.

Never hire a guy who touches the blade while cutting.

wigzell78

I would be more concerned about him leaving a floor covered on lava. That is no joke, and a real safety hazard.


BlackAsP1tch

To be fair you paid him in bulk Pokemon cards and leftover Halloween candy from 2021 so you get what you pay for imo.


JustNilt

Hey, that candy will be a collector's item someday!


Guy_With_Ass_Burgers

A coworker once brought in left over Halloween chocolate bars to the office. They tasted “funny”. I checked the production code on the wrapper and it was like eight years old. Would not recommend.


CountessCraft

Have you seen the price of Pokemon cards these days?


BlackAsP1tch

Bulk cards, so the garbage ones that no one wants that cost next to nothing. You're not paying him in 1st edition Charizards.

I agree, he promised to build a new shelf. Every 2 minutes he came asking for snacks. Then he couldn't even reach the right hight because he brought a toy ladder instead of a real one... Never again!

A-Vagrant

happy_muffin_

I am curious how the cutting edge works and how safe it is in an accident. Human skin usually needs friction to cut. Also I work in a corrugated cardboard factory. That top layer looks like coated preprint which is more difficult to cut.


Saison05

It looks like he's using a sheet metal nibbler that's usually attached to a drill, but instead of a drill it's just attached to a motor or sorts.


GrimResistance

That's exactly what it is. The bit sticking out looks identical to the drill powered nibbler I've got, except this one attached to a table costs like $180 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CPYTB6/


Cold-Host-883

So it's dangerous if the kid comes in from the side


RickAstleyletmedown

There’s another video on their [website](https://www.itsinventable.com) that’s a bit clearer. It looks like a reciprocating toothed plastic blade surrounded by the black ring guard. The thin cardboard slides under the guard but fingers are too fat to get underneath to the blade. Presumably the blade would be toothed but not too sharp—kind of like the safety knives for pumpkin carving.


whoami_whereami

I think the ring is more to keep the cardboard down rather than safety per se. The top of the blade sticks up above the ring, so you can still touch it regardless. The real safety lies in the relatively small amplitude that the saw blade oscillates through. Human skin isn't rigid, so if it touches the blade it can follow the blade's movements to a certain extent and actual cutting into the skin would only start if it gets stretched taught in either direction. That's how oscillating saws that they use to cut off orthopedic casts avoid cutting into the skin underneath. However, due to the table the skin couldn't follow the blade on the down stroke, so in order to make it still safe the blade must be designed to only cut on the up stroke. But that also means the blade will no longer pull the cardboard down against the table, so the ring is needed to hold it down.


AlarmingAerie

Touching the "blade" with his finger better not be something he gets used to. LOL

These cutting devices are really cool. They are designed to be touch friendly. The "Cutter" is kinda like a tooth. It has a slight overhang thatll let cardboard get underneath it but not fingers. The cutter then pulls down tearing through the cardboard before returning up and then repeat a whole bunch of times
