setInterval(_=>{a+=.13;['down','up'].map(e=>$('canvas').dispatchEvent(new PointerEvent('pointer'+e,{clientX:innerWidth*(.2+a%.6),clientY:innerHeight*(.4+a%.2)})))},a=9)I think it would feel better if it modeled the length of the edge, which should disturb the other horizontal slices.
Looks like its coded by someone who has never split firewood. The challenge is not deciding where to split, its executing the split. Like hitting the same gap if it doesn't split, deciding orientation to aoid knots, figuring out how to put it on end if it wasn't cut straight. And some of the cuts it allowed me would hit the ax handle on another part, the shock from that damages the ax handle and is painful on the han…

I find it much easier to use AI to vibesplit my firewood. Sure, it costs me lots of money to buy axe tokens, and sometimes all I end up with is a useless pile of splinters or sawdust, but it's the way of the future; just imagine how efficient it'll be when the tech has matured?
The new model is so good at splitting firewood that it's too dangerous to release to the public without safeguards to stop it from splitting things that aren't actually firewood. The old models are terrible - I can't believe we ever thought they were good. Remember: this is the worst that splitting firewood will ever be.

Nope, splitting green wood is much more difficult than splitting dried logs, so I often cut a tree in the spring, stack the rounds, then split those rounds in the fall. People overestimate how dry wood needs to be to burn correctly. Just have some ultra-dry kindling (seasoned for 2+ years) and you won't have any problems. On the contrary, I know some folks who let all their wood dry too far, and it burned way too hot…
It’s an equation. If you have dry firewood, you need less of it at once. Some folks don’t understand that. More water in the wood means less efficient combustion, more smoke and harsher smoke, which may irritate your neighbors downwind, or everyone around on still days.
