One of the sources suggested in our Meta conversation yesterday (State of the Soylent: Community Roundtable) was the physics blog Cocktail Party Physics, which had this neat video, How to Cut String with Your Bare Hands in it.

It's reminiscent of the sort of thing Mythbusters liked to reveal.

Thanks to tonyPick!

    I would probably be able to enjoy that video a lot more if we didn't just elect Adolf Hitler as President of the United States.

    We can just use the heat from the ovens to melt the synthetic rope rather than relying on frictional effects.
