Here’s a life tip no one asked for: cold onions make you cry less. If you stick a whole onion in the fridge for 15 minutes before chopping, the cold slows down the gas that makes your eyes water. It’s not a magic cure, but it’s better than sobbing into your coleslaw.
I tried this once while my partner watched. I said, “Watch this, I’m a certified onion ninja.” For five minutes, I didn’t tear up. Then I sneezed and basically pepper-sprayed myself. Life humbles you, man.
