Comment on xkcd #2929: Good and Bad Ideas
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months agoI recommend a very nice bread knife! I have a mediocre bread knife that was like 15USD like 15 years ago and it still saws solid slices of soft bread without schmushing the bread!

I'm mostly just commenting on why it was such a big deal in the time that it happened rather than today. Today, we do have more machines, easier access to knives, and generally less domestic work to do than was the case in this era. I do own a breadknife, though I rarely eat bread and it's mostly denser loaves when I do (a kind of sandwich bread the wife prefers or something like Baurenbrot for my tastes).
