April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI wish I could give her my superpower. I can cut onions without crying. No idea why.

MemberIf your knives are NOT sharp enough they mangle the cell walls of onions that inadvertently releases the gas (Syn-Propanethial S-oxide) that floats up to your eyes.

MemberMost of our knives are over 10 years old and no longer as sharp. In addition, my sister or mother always cry when cutting onions and we use the same knives. So it's up to me and not the knives.

MemberYou could always sharpen them. Its not to hard to get the hang of just make sure to keep the same angle and remove any burr. You can use a honing rod to remove the burr (just remember a honing rod Doesn't sharpen you need a stone for that)

MemberI hopped in here for porn and got an education too I’m ok with this🙂👍

MemberSilly girl. You always wear swimming googles while chopping onions.
...Yea i know you look stupid, but hey, it works like a charm.

MemberOr you can just man up ... or woman up! It's only onion, not a canister of teargas.
On the other hand, do make sure that after handling hot chilies, you really do wash your hands really really well. Especially before touching your partner's uh, tender privates. No bonus points for guessing how I found that one out.

MemberConsidering that capsaicin (the active ingredient in chili and similar fruits) is used in pepper sprays... yea i can understand that wouldn't feel very nice.
Also i don't know about you guys, but i don't really cry from chopping onions. My eyes just hurts like no tomorrow.
