minus-squarelolcatnip@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoThat would be relevant if it was a weapon.

minus-squarestephen01king@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoWait, your toothpicks are about 4 inches long? Is this another case of everything is bigger in America?
minus-squareAwesomeLowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months ago6 inches divided by 2 is 3 inches. Not far off from the 2.5" toothpicks I see frequently in Asia. YMMV re American toothpicks.
minus-squarestephen01king@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoOh, the article said 6 inches. I was going by what you said, which was 20 cm. That is closer to 8 inches. If it’s 6 inches, your comment made much more sense.
minus-squarePacattack57@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoThat’s what the article said 😂
minus-squarerc__buggy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoI think I need a box of these novelty toothpicks
