How socially acceptable is it to wear swimming goggles while chopping onions during a dinner party?

Semi-permeable plastic lenses work like a charm. It's night and day difference between having my contacts in or my glasses, even including shallots and garlic.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who need corrective lenses, and those who don't realize that they do too.

How to chop an onion and not cry like a little bitch or look like a retard.
>1. Cut the top off the onion. Not the end with the brown fibers you fucking moron.
>2. Peel off a layer or two, make sure you peel off the skin too.
>3. Rinse the outside of the onion with cold water and scrub with your hand. It has a slimy feeling to it, but as you scrub you can feel it going away. This helps with releasing shit while you're chopping so you don't cry.
>4. Take a sharp chef knife, and I hope to god you keep your knives sharp you mongoloid, and cut it in half down through the root. Sharper knives help with preventing whatever it is onions release and thus making you cry like a little bitch.
>5. Lay the half onion down flat on the cutting board.
>6. Cut parallel lines towards the root. Make them as thin or thicc as you want. Thicker is chopped, thinner is diced, and even thinner is minced.
>7. Cut across like as if you were going to slice it (which was probably your first instinct you retard).
>8. Repeat for the other side, or don't I don't care.
>Tip: A largish white onion chopped is about equal to a cup. Half is obviously half a cup.
Wa la, you've successfully performed a basic cooking task that a lot of people fuck up, end up crying, and looking like a retard.

It certainly is a thing. Cook enough and I'm sure you'll experience it at some point. There are certainly variables involved though: some people are more sensitive than others. onions vary in potency. a sharper knife releases less vapor than a dull one.

It very rarely effects me, but sometimes it does. I was grating shallots for meatballs yesterday and that got me good.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 9 15:22:20 2018 No.10880550 >>10873460 >>10873496 Chop the root off, and the smell comes much faster. Finely chop it around the root, it takes long for the smell to set in. You've already shown that you don't know. Be open to change and give it a try.

Anonymous Mon Jul 9 15:33:03 2018 No.10880607

If you wear contacts you won't feel any burning sensation around onions.
Even if you don't you may not. The last time I cooked onions without wearing contacts I got no burning when cutting the onions. I did get substantial burning from the steam created after adding liquid ingredients to the pot I was cooking the onions in.
