There's gotta be a way to use high-pressure steam to blast off the avocado rind and eject the pit, leaving nothing but pure green ready to be guac'ed. edit: avocado snipe. I have just discovered that "avocado hand" sends thousands of people to the hospital every year

Remove pit with a spoon? What the gently caress? You gently smack the blade of your knife into the pit, then rotate it around its yaw axis until the pit lets go of the flesh and pops out.

You gently smack the blade of your knife into the pit, then rotate it around its yaw axis until the pit lets go of the flesh and pops out. It looks like some people don't really think what they're doing through and neglect the "gently smack" part, which when combined with a glancing blow can send the knife slipping right past the pit and completely through the avocado, into your hand. And you know what, if you're going to go after the pit with a knife that hard while you're holding it, you probably should just remove the pit with a spoon.

And you know what, if you're going to go after the pit with a knife that hard while you're holding it, you probably should just remove the pit with a spoon. Trying to cut around the pit seems like a much easier way to injure yourself. In fact that's what "avocado hand" is - stabbing yourself with the point of a knife because you were stabbing it into an avocado and trying to cut around the pit. (Or trying to stab it into the pit, for some strange reason). If you can chop the air above your hand without actually hitting your hand, you can remove the pit from an avocado safely. If you can't, then perhaps you should put the knife down and go back to safety scissors.

I have this scar on both hands and also 'Styr eye'. Just scars of dumbassness when young. Add a left foot that was splayed by a boat prop and right ankle with GSW so clicks in weird ways and I'm on some bingo game card.

Add a left foot that was splayed by a boat prop and right ankle with GSW so clicks in weird ways and I'm on some bingo game card. I got pretty lucky from my youth. The main scars I have are from when I was a toddler visiting a friends' place with my mother and father who were in the Sydney theater scene in the late 70s, and I pulled a pot of boiling water down on me from the coffee table. I have some scars on my right foot and left leg, but just skin stuff. My mother was a nurse in her youth and treated the burn well enough that I never had any major issues from it. Fun fact, that friend of my parents, went on to win an Oscar for Best Actor.

Some footage from the Beirut explosion I hadn't seen before: https://twitter.com/Marioam79/status/1291701775339225088 https://twitter.com/Faytuks/status/1291428345993994240 and some videos that show the ridiculous power of the blast (noone got seriously hurt in these) https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1291856646361161729 https://twitter.com/tocamelaotravez/status/1291857792945606657 also a miracle https://twitter.com/bbcworldservice/status/1292027592027987974

I trust exactly zero of those "no one got hurt in these" notifications you see on some of these re-posted videos. Like that dude in the first video saying oh my god over and over is standing in front of a glass window that you see blow out right into the camera. No loving way that dude walked away without some serious lacerations at the very least. I just hope he has eyes still.

The one from behind the silos clearly shows how much brunt of the explosion they took to spare that direction of the blast. Not sure its worth losing the main storage of your country’s grains though.

However, that one video in a long street where you see the blast lifting up a roof as it comes at the camera, where everyone assumed the person filming it died; I saw an actual reputable news station repost it and they said they spoke with the person who made it and he didnt die

I usually hold the knife steady and rotate the avocado around it. I also quarter my avocados, at which point it's trivial to just pop the pit out without a knife at all. Then again, I don't handle avocados professionally, so I don't care too much about speed.

I cut the avo in half, and I machete slice into the center of the pit, quarter turn it and it comes right out and sticks to the knife.

I use the blunt edge of the knife to pop the pit out.
