minus-squaresbv@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 year agoThe article says The plastic knife toy, which is shaped like a carrot, is made of fluorescent materials and available in different colours. Is there more to it than that?
minus-squareNepenthe@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoWell, 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.
minus-squareOtter@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoLooks 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?
