    Actually, it’s because cucumbers are so cool (c.f. cool as a cucumber) that they’re in a ground state. It’s actually endothermic to split their atoms so you don’t get a chain reaction.

    Cutting hot vegetables, habernaros for example, is much more risky and adequate precautions should always be taken to avoid radioactivity contaminating sensitive regions of the body.

      I thought the only option with cucumbers is to keep mashing them together until fusion, no?
