They got some real weird shaped carrots in South Korea.

    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?

    I don't know what type of carrots they have, but those do not look like carrots that I have.

    What about finger guns? Like using your index finger and thumb as a gun. That's violent behaviour.

    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.

    "We should also out law words. Because words can hurt peoples feelings."

    This is satire

    Remember, kids, if someone shows up to school with a paper knife, run, hide, fight in that order.

    Lmao I’ve only seen this toy in Korean memes where people print them super sized and instead of the blade it has a phone holder. I had no idea it was supposed to be a knife blade.

    That is to say, the Korean youth already has the ridicule of this story covered.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I got very little respect for the culture of south korea.

    Looks like they are consumerists to their core.
