Some people say to hold a spoon in your mouth but it's really not needed. Just breathe heavily through your mouth while you cut. 90% of the time this is enough.
I always also wondered if wearing ordinary glasses would work. Goggles obviously would be that just seems over the top
Everyone's talking about how to do this without crying. Cut the roots. Wash the knife. The real way to prevent tears is to not become emotionally attached to the onion before cutting.
Usually if onions are making you cry it’s because your knife is too dull!
Yep, I haven't had this problem for a while.
I wanted to point out that Dull Knife would be a great addition to !fakebandnames@lemmy.world but apparently they really exist
A sharp knife helps, but there's only so much you can do.
Well, you can also use it to slice properly instead of chopping.
While that could make it worse, a sharp knife won't avoid it completely.
Or you angered onion god and now wrath of god is upon you.
Unrelated but reminder that dull knives are significantly more dangerous than sharp knives
Water is the solution. Rinse as you're cutting.
The last thing my naked ass wants in the shower is a knife.
This is literally the best solution.. a wet knife is the best!
Make sure you don’t cut the root, that’s where the sadness lives.
You have to cut the whole onion in half through the root to dice.
That not usually an issue though, just the one clean cut and then the exposed root is against the surface while cutting

Still not a word.
You can use it anytime you want.
cut off the root first. that's where the highest concentration of the stinging stuff is. i've never had an issue since i started doing that.
Then the whole thing falls apart.
you can keep the stem on.
Or just leave the root and don't cut into it?
no, that triggers the curse
