Well, they are both very painful. but overall, paper cuts are worse. When we look at paper, it feels really smooth but, microscopically, paper is actually very rough so when we cut our finger on paper, its not actually a straight line and that's why it hurts so much.

Splinter, easier to get infected.
lol i say paper cut because they are wider and itll always sting when you wash your hands. a splinter is just a small puncture which is relieved after the splinter itself is removed
I don't think I have ever had a paper cut so I have to say splinter. Nasty things that are stubborn to get out!

Paper cut cuz splinter I can pull out
Splinter!
When I was younger and I got splinters, I was so scared it would get lodged inside forever!
With a paper cut at least the source is out and most paper cuts I've dealt with luckily weren't so deep that I had to worry about them!
Some splinter sources may carry infections or even tetanus!
Just be careful that's all...
Source: My life and how my older nice cousin would always have tweezers ready for me if I suffered a splinter at a young age! She was such a nice cousin! Felt more like an older sister really! Took good care of me when I was young!Ever since that Spongebob Squarepants episode where he got that splinter, I’ve always been overly cautious with wood😂😂😂
Gonna have to say splinter because if it’s thick/deep enough, you really will have to pick it out with tweezers. All you have to do is pour hand sanitizer on paper cuts and the pain is gone.Splinter. Splinters can gouge themselves into you and cause immense pain along with being very hard to get out if they go deep enough, sometimes splinters require people to go to the hospital because sometimes it requires certain tools to get it out. Papercuts on the other hand aren't that serious.
Have a splinter in a hand or foot can lead it to build
and come to the point that puss will grow inside and
it will most likely need lanced and taken out and drained
now some splinters can stay and live within under the skin
now paper cuts can be worst too cause they bleed.Paper cuts. I can "tease" out my splinters in less then 30 seconds or so. Virtually no healing, as the skin pretty much closes over the "hole". Paper cuts will take a week or so to heal.
Hint- For those who work with paper all day, use a thick hand cream a couple times a day to help maintain your skin's moisture level. It's much easier to slice dry skin.Ooooooh, SPLINter!
I read sphincter the first time round..
I was going to say some stupid shit about the paper cut being worse being i can't remember a day the last 20 years i haven't had a bleeding asshole, my diet is terrible.
But Im going to have to go splinter, though i do quite enjoy digging those out but it sucks if you dont have the right light or tools to get them out etc.Splinter, easy. Paper cuts hurt yeah, but they heal quick and don't hurt for long. Splinter though, those things not only hurt but they can get stuck and you'll need to get tweezers to get those suckers out. And if you do that wrong, it hurts even worse.
Paper cuts are bad , they are the worst but a splinter is way worse...
In high school I was at home using a wood handled ax when the handle split and I had a good 4inch splinter in my palm , the worst of it was that it came out in two pieces in two days...Splinters: You have a foreign body stuck through your skin; source of infection if not removed.
Paper cuts can be extremely painful, but they heal quickly, and all you need is to disinfect, then put a bandaid.A splinter because it is not as cut and dried as a cut. You have to get the splinter out or it will get infected. A cut you can but a band aid on and it will heal by itself.
In moment, paper cut, a splinter can bother you much longer and be paonful to dig out.
Most intense pain? Paper cut.
Longer lasting pain? Splinter.Splinters are harder to deal with. Paper cuts can be covered by a bandage. Splinters cannot as they are under the skin. If they are deep under the skin then oh boy are you in for a world of trouble.
A paper cut, because the pain of a splinter goes away as soon as you get the wood piece out. Paper cuts sting for days.
Papercut.. Especially if you work in the medical field and you have to use hand sanitizer all the time :) burns like a bitch.
Splinters definently
A paper cut. Once I pull a splinter out it usually stops hurting. A paper cut hurts until it starts to heal
Depends if splinter goes all the way into the meat to where you can't pull it out/extrrmely difficult for no reason.
Otherwise I'd say a paper cut.Worked in hairdressing for 2 years, and getting hair splinters may not be common, but when you get one, it is surprising; trying to find and see if you get it all out!
Depends how deep the splinter is. Some of them you have to practicall dig out. And some break.
I'd say 9 times out of 10 better to have a paper cut.
