Advice from an ER provider
Finally a forum for my soapbox
You’ve probably learned the trick to remove an avocado seed where you hold the half with the seed and “whack” the seed with the knife.
Unlearn that shit.
Put the avocado half on the cutting board, don’t hold it.
I have sewn up 6 hands related to this practice since I started counting 2 years ago. These people weren’t idiots, these were normal, guacamole-eating, embarrassed-by-their-mistake people. Don’t be my seventh.

Jolly good
I'm guessing people are drunk, uncoordinated, not paying enough attention, or drunk... Or maybe all of the above.
This may have been the case for some of them, but that doesn’t make the technique “safe”.
If my guacamole making requires that I’m sober in order to not have blood guacamole, I need to re-evaluate my guacamole making.
Solid second point.
