    Everyone’s talking about how to do this without crying. Cut the roots. Wash the knife. The real way to prevent tears is to not become emotionally attached to the onion before cutting.

      Yeah, and don’t give them names, for dog’s sake!

      But tbh, sharpen your knives. It really helps a lot, because the cells are cut instead of being crushed, which greatly reduces the release of whatever make your eyes tear up.
