The ending to Jackson Dean’s viral cucumber-cutting video is a harsh lesson in hubris. You’ll inevitably speed up your slicing, confidently gliding your vegetable back and forth across the blade, thinking that nothing can stop you. You are a vegetable-prepping God, making it rain evenly sliced cucumber coins, then “OW!” and “We need to go to the hospital.” In one moment, a man who was once beaming with pride in the kitchen is suddenly in the car on the way to the hospital.
So, take your time and STAY FOCUSED.
