“The plastic knife toy, which is shaped like a carrot”
They got some real weird shaped carrots in South Korea.
Watch the video, its a playskool orange butterfly knife
It’s a … plastic fidget toy shaped like a cartoon switchblade?
DOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!
Gir?
Until it is done
Somebody call Tipper Gore!
I’ll trade our problems for South Korea’s problems.
Like an unhinged, impoverished dictatorship with nukes within artillery range of your capital?
Will at least their unhinged dictator isn’t running the capital like we’ve experienced recently.
I think I must have misunderstood you - you can’t mean you’d rather have Kim Jong Un running the country than Biden?
It was poorly worded, but I was referring to Trump.
I mean Trump is almost certainly the worst president in history, but I’d still prefer him to the Kims any day.
whgo is our/ :3
What about finger guns? Like using your index finger and thumb as a gun. That’s violent behaviour.
I don’t know what type of carrots they have, but those do not look like carrots that I have.
Hah. I was going to say the same thing.
Upvoting is better than commenting “I agree!”
i agree!
lol
This
If this plastic fiddle-toy dingus is a “concern,” these people are going to shit absolute brick if they see what I’ve got in my desk drawer.
Seriously, the hand-wringing over something like this is just sheer whacking off by people whose lives are so cushy they don’t actually have anything legitimate to complain about.

Yeah at first I thought about how I had a toy army knife growing up, then realized that’s a very American toy to have lmao. I do think though that making this a big deal is just adding to its popularity. Kids only think it’s cooler since their parents are freaking out.
anyone got a link to the file to print out? looks neat

There are other versions with no pins required. But I found the pin ones hold up better in pla.
thats no paper though
… what.
Remember, kids, if someone shows up to school with a paper knife, run, hide, fight in that order.
Instructions unclear. Who am I supposed to fight while I’m hiding?
The thoughts in your head.
You just need to find a good guy with scissors.
Our daughter has two of them, but one of them has a blinking led which is so annoying in the car OMG I hate it.
For the uninitiated it’s literally made of paper.

Looks like the toy is plastic, but you can print and make ones out of paper (or cardstock?)
Seems about as violent as foam noodle swords?
Well, that makes them like the edge of a freezie pop. Those are dangerous.
I don’t think plastic would cut so well as it does in the article’s video, but maybe it’s not the only schematic.
Like a butterfly knife
Ah your right I didn’t have audio at the time I first watched the video.
Enough paper cuts and a human can bleed out. They have a right to be concerned. Should go back to hitting each other with sticks and rocks they find outside like I used to do as a kid.
I fondly remember chanting “Sticks and stones may break my bones but paper will slit your fucking jugular.”
When I was kid clackers were a fad with kids. The fad faded, which was good because clackers were annoying. I predict this fad will fade too. https://missoulian.com/clackers-original-1970s-ball-toy/youtube_6caea5e8-96bf-11e5-adaa-7b74afdb8914.html
Like in Shoot 'em Up?
I got very little respect for the culture of south korea.
Looks like they are consumerists to their core.
