Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

  Is this the dipstick that tried it with a carrot, it cut the tip off and then said he was going to try it with his finger to be sure?

    I don’t see “dipstick” in the wild very often, but I always appreciate it. Are you English by any chance?

      I am not. I had a vulgar word there, and decided to tone it down a little.

  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

    This isn’t true, and I know it as a fact. I’m not gonna tell you how I know, but I know.

        Ever eaten oxtail? Even after it’s cooked, tendons and shit is really hard to bite through. Way harder than a damn carrot.

    You need calcium.

    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 (and mass) 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.

    Fortunately I don’t think that’s strictly accurate. Try biting through a chicken wing its not as easy as a carrot.

    I wish I didn’t read that, and then read it again repeatedly trying to process what I just read. Lol. I’m sorry.
