How can paper be so sharp?

Paper can be deadly & can cut your fingers to slices. :-( Paper is evil.

It is :( they hurt so much. It can be very deadly. Are they trying to kill us at school? They like surround us with paper.

The edges are like little saws haha paper cuts are horrible.

Yes. Probably. They hate all the students and try to kill them with paper cuts. They want the kids to bleed to death. That’s why they abolished slates and made kids write on paper booklets.

the edges are very thin, like the edge of a knife. so that’s how ya get cut

well it hurts :( haha with out paper i would not have homework i wish paper was never invented :)

What makes something sharp is that it has a thin edge and so its molecules can come between the molecules of what it’s cutting. Paper is thinner than any metal blade, making it much sharper. The reason it doesn’t cut as much/well is because it is very hard to get enough force behind it without it bending too much.

i feel like the only teacher that does not hate me is my tec ed teacher

Paper definitely is sharp.In fact the thinner the element the sharper it is.So,paper is definitely more sharper any blade,knife or any any other sharp element.The limphness or looseness of the paper steals it’s ability to cut well.Thus,if we try to cut something with paper the force which we will apply will get it folded and make it incapable to slicing.But papercuts which are pretty abundant happen when the paper is left stable but the finger is run across it’s side taking friction as an addition.

Because it’s soo thin.

yeah paper can be that sharp
