You either lose your fingers the first week or you make a 50 year career of it. There is no in between.

Oh god, I’m in love w her expressions!!
HonHomes
And she still has all her fingers! I wonder whose hands she was using when she was learning how to do that...
TupacAintDead
I lost three fingers watching this.
clang2101
How does she have all her fingers?
barbarian818
I've done somewhat similar work. That woman's hands are at least a decade older than she is. Repetitive impact work in the wet is rougher on the body that it looks.
eathotdog
That's a lot of work for one the worst food crops imaginable
mirrorz
Not her first box of rodeos.
derschweiz
At least her second
captainfakeypants
I like the part where she still has all her fingers.
TheAdjuster
so like...that stuff is suuuuper easy to peel with a knife. you don't need to hack off a finger or part of the actual plant, just slide the knife around it like you would a spoon peeling a hard boiled egg. we ate these all the time in Tonga.
UncleVenoM
Right, I'm guessing that knife is so dull you could hold it by the blade and peel those with the handle.

Quick lets distract her while she is cutting things by recording her, it'll be funny. Also, let's make a meme of the reality that this woman has probably been stuck doing this one job that probably doesn't pay very well for the last 50 years and probably doesn't have a good retirement option a result. Isn't it funny how blue collar workers get so good at their jobs? Everyone clap for them.
HypoMix
"unskilled" labour.
c2zvgsVillain
That job isn’t worth the price of me never being able to wipe my ass ever again
FierceAndAdorable
My dad would be complaining about how much of the veg was being wasted
TacoPoweredHelicopter
I am a dad, and was like damn she's cutting half of it off.

This kills the cassava.

Machete mamaaaa, do yer thiiiing!

Ahhgghhh! Don’t make her look away!
battleofhastings1066
Don't worry, she has her third eye on it.

Memaw bringing the gun show.

It’s her first day on the job.
BookGoblinz
Terrifying! - Much respect though.
Columbus43219
Is it just me, or is there like, chemistry between her and the cameraperson????
DrKleiner007
It can’t get any more wasteful that with this “method”.
Fulustreka
If you think they won't do something with that "waste"...
Freestila
Don't care what she's handling, using a big scary knife with that precision is spectacular.
MaxMschief
And her employers would have the nerve to turn round and call her job "unskilled labour" to justify paying her in peanuts...
nanyatenyaa
The term unskilled labor does not actually mean a job does not entail learning how to do something or getting good at it. It specifically refers to a job requiring less than two years training or experience. Is simply a means of categorizing people who are doing jobs that require a certain level training so the government can understand who is doing what in the labour force and what level of effort is associated with acquiring a particular type of job.
nanyatenyaa
I think most people would say something that takes two years to learn entails learning how to do something and therefore, an associated skill. But getting butt hurt over the government trying to differentiate between statistically a skilled role, like a doctor versus an unskilled one like a waiter, is stupid. Its important to account for how long it takes to learn how to do a job. its also part of immigration law.
nanyatenyaa
Calling a job 'unskilled' also does not whimsically make the it inexpensive to hire for. That isn't how that works. The cost of hiring a person is going to depend on the pool of available applicants in the workforce... basic supply and demand. If there are a lot of people who know how to do something or can be readily trained to do it, its not going to demand a high pay.

The first magic trick l learned as a kid
alexcoldt
That's actually a bit of a mind fuck. Look at where the thumb would actually have to be. Try and put your thumb there. You'd need a thumb longer your middle finger.

So many fingers in that basket if that was my job
Zincee
Fingers nothing, I'd be missing my forearm.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
When they're all shortened by an inch or so then the job gets easier.
Rylinn
4-5 fingers or one hand

Fuck, seriously. When I was a kid, my friend's grandparents let us use machetes to chop apples and one of us got the great idea to toss them in the air. My friend followed through on a swing way too far and sliced part of his shin. I still remember it to this day, it was a clean cut - his skin was clean off, on the ground, and he started bleeding. He had a wicked scar after that.
To be this bold and accurate with a machete means that she has put a LOT of time into doing this.
nevercompromisenoteven
Pain is temporary, glory lasts forever and chicks diggs scars.
TheRealFireFrenzy
awesome movie
Poopoopeepeevagina
At least 8 fingers and couple thumbs
simba9
How would you chop off the last finger and thumb?

ComandoCuloMandril
Impressive. Kind of weird way of doing it, still impressive. Also, those worried about fingers, it's likely not a sharp knife. Cassava's skin is super easy to peel once the ends are cut. Easier than an orange's... Unless it's very old cassava, which I doubt it is.
domillomew
I mean it's still sharp enough to lop those ends off. I'd assume it'd cut to the bone.
nanyatenyaa
The most dangerous thing when cutting food is... in fact, a dull knife. It causes you to use more force than you need.
LawFiveGuy
and she's barely paying attention to what she's doing
LANAAAAAAAAAA
The lady behind her isn't even looking!

"Unskilled labour... Best I can do is $4 an hour..."

It helps lessen the fear

Knife skills are about muscle memory and propiroception; she's looking with her hands.
