U can have one thing on the desert island, the razor blade, or the axe.

Dr. Feelgood trying to tell us value hierarchies just dont exist now, all to make you feel better about being a fucking razorblade on a desert island.

If I don’t look down, I overlook them. Then they feel left out.

I really wish people would stop posting this image.

Every person who makes a custom axe always tests it by shaving the hair on their arm.

Ummm, literally type in axe barber on YouTube. You can most certainly cut hair with one

Utter bullshit lol You can cut a tree with a razor blade. Felling one is time consuming tho.

If you ever had an axe you'd know that you can definitely cut hair. If not you can sharpen them to cut hair, because it's fucking metal....

All this tells me is that the meme maker never held a sharp axe.

Now picture this. You are not on a forrest but on a city and you are about to go on a date. Which one do you pick the razor blade or the axe?

Dr. ithinkimfuckingsmart b. utimreallyprettydumb usually doesnt realize that value hierarchies are not absolute

If you can't shave your arm hair with your axe, it's not sharp enough

Not sure that would be considered a "tree" at that point. More like a sapling.

And even then, I guess it would depend on just how fast it was fired. A razor blade has little mass, so it would need to be going at a decent velocity to gain enough force to cut through even a 2 inch sapling.

But what if you're a dull, disposable razorblade?

A sharp axe could definitely cut hair, I've seen it. I bet you can cut a tree with a razor blade too, although it would take a lot of time.

This reminds of another quote I picked up in rehab. “The same water that softens the potato gardens the egg.” Just a few words on circumstances and being made of different stuff, it’s one of my favorites

I bet you a razor blade could cut a tree. Maybe not chop it down but cut it yes.

Pfft they never met a flat earther or a conservative or a fascist. Some people are just born to be looked down upon.

I'm pretty tall, so I look down on most people.

It's fair, though, because short people are shit.

Also axes cut hairs

This made me think of an equally "meh" motivational tripe: "Some things in life were made to be down trodden and stepped on every day of their lives. And those are some of the finest horeshoes" or some other stupid repeatable dribble.

You can cut hair with a gardening hose by the way. If your interested look up “LA Beast garden hose” on YouTube.

I can cut hair with an ax and a tree with a razor but that’s not why I look down on everyone, it’s cause I’m 6’2.

It definitely works similar to HEPA filters. Dwarves usually have long lifespans. It would be virtually impossible with all the contamination from dust, fine particles and other bad stuff in mines.

xombz t1_jccpfoi wrote

I get what you're trying to say, but the comparison doesn't quite work.

Classically, it's don't judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree. I don't remember the exact wording.

An axe can be sharpened to a very sharp point. Aside from that, it has the mass to cut most things. Increase the mass enough on the razor head and it will guarantee to take down a tree.

Fun fact. You can absolutely cut hair with an axe. You just might not like what else gets cut.

A good way to test if your axe is sharp is shave some arm hairs

I dont want to argue but i still you dont grasp that both are useful in their own way, since you are not alone in a planet, which by the way is another made up scenario by your own brain trying to fuck you up

The question is not which one do you pick because is more useful in the vacumm to survive on earth alone

Lets forget about the blade. You have a small house in the city and you have 100 axes already in your house. I offer you an old one for free. Do you still pick it up?

Its the same axe you would had wanted in your island alone. Why you dont want it now?

Context matter and both are useful in their own way. My escenario is as made up as your alone in an island one

If we restrict this to realistic scenarios, I would argue that practically nobody has found themselves alone stranded in an island and at least 20% of the population shave every day

This is probably an useless argument because you still think that the axe is always better no matter what and its a shame, because you are discarding the blade every time and makeing blades feel bad, but in reality if a surgeon has to cut me, i rather he is very good with his blade even if he has never touched an axe
