Ok how the fuck do I chop these up without ending up looking like my Grandpa just died? Not only does it make me cry an uncontrollable waterfall but it fucking burns too. I have to take a step back and catch my breathe, sometimes more than once.
1.) Try pic related or 2.) Stop being a little baby

Sharpen your knife.
Seriously, it'll help immensely. The sharper your knife is, the cleaner and easier it cuts. The cleaner and easier it cuts, the less damage it causes to the onion, and the less of those nasty volatile chemicals get out into the air.
I use this nethod, with a sharp knife as pointed out above. It works.

Stop using old onions.

Don't cut off the root. Do this:

Jeremiah Walker
Wet the knife
Wyatt Robinson
Cut them underwater.
Ryder Scott
Yeah, this actually works really well, I'd almost say 100% but someone else would give me an edge case where it didn't work 100%
You need a big bowl or square dish, trying to do it in a cereal bowl is awful
Cooper Flores
I use red and don't get this problem, i think it's a white thing.
Jacob Carter
get a long cutting board, lay it over your sink, and have a little water stream over the onion
Carter Johnson
Wait for it to rain and then go cut your onions outside. Pretend you're filming an episode of Almazan Kitchen.
Jaxson Campbell
Probably won't work if your eyes are underwater.
Nolan Anderson
God cries so you don't have to.
Thomas Robinson
came to say this
even striking a match seems to help me quite a bit
Jordan Watson
Swimming goggles. I don't give a fuck how I look. In fact, I think I look pretty cool.

>Not only does it make me cry an uncontrollable waterfall but it fucking burns too. Never once have you taken a knife to an onion, OP. Why do you crave approval with shitposts? Are you afraid of being shot down in the reddit community?

Buy Vidalia Onions desu. The soil near Vidalia, GA has basically no sulfur in it so the onions can not form sulfide compounds. When those sulfide mix with the moisture in you eyes they form sulfuric acid which is what burns and makes you cry. Also, as other said, use as sharp knife and cut them properly and quickly.
Jonathan Russell
Don't chop them. Onions don't give a reasonable reason to cry. Sitting on Veeky Forums cooking forum instead of actually cooking is your reason to cry. A better thread would be, "Hey Veeky Forums, how do I post on here without weeping for being a miserable failure that can only think of onions when I want attention?"

have a lit candle nearby or have a cup of streaming hot water nearby
