A baby carrot
It takes about the same force to bite through a baby carrot as it does to bite through a finger
As long as the carrot is pretty close to the size of the finger you're wishing to stimulate
I wish I didn't know that
Everyone who read this just tried to bite their own finger
Just doing my part
You're full of it. This isn't true.
Having done my time as an Army medic, this is incorrect. It takes more force than that, but less than you might think. A good 25 kilos with some velocity behind it will easily sever a phalange. Up it to 50 or 80 kilos and you can claim an arm or shin. Mass is the real killer. I’ve seen a vehicle at comically slow speed absolutely yeet someone because it had several tons of momentum behind it.
Casual readers might remember a recent very low-speed collision that nonetheless caused a catastrophic failure due to the tens of thousands of tons of weight. The MV Dali vs. the Francis Scott Key Bridge, if you didn't guess. It struck the bridge at about 8 mph.
This isn’t true, and I know it as a fact. I’m not gonna tell you how I know, but I know.
Biting through a human finger bone takes much more force than it does to bite through a fucking carrot.
Joints exist though
Ever eaten oxtail? Even after it’s cooked, tendons and shit is really hard to bite through. Way harder than a damn carrot.
Tendon after 6 or so hours simmering or 1 hour in a pressure cooker and you got my favorite pho add in.
For real. If fingers were that easy to lob off nobody would make it to middle age with all of their digits.
Maybe OP has leprosy.
You need calcium.
Fortunately I don't think that's strictly accurate. Try biting through a chicken wing its not as easy as a carrot.
Yeah and bird bones are hollow
Unless you’re talking about a loon.
They're talking about a chicken. Source: they wrote the word "chicken".
But loon is an alternative fact chicken therefore chickens have carrot bones
I wish I didn't read that, and then read it again repeatedly trying to process what I just read. Lol. I'm sorry.
