But on top of that, the wood they break is ALWAYS endsawn, and many times it's pre-dried in an oven to make it more brittle.

Maybe where you were, were I was it was standard lumber and you could really hurt yourself if you hit any of the knots in the wood.
Since yes I've had to use wood with knots in it even in competition...

FYI you will likely never break boards that isn't cut "end grain", or if it is and hit against the grain.
There is a reason humans have made structures out of it for 1000's of years.

Huh?

2x4's are cut with the grain. I.e. - their long dimension is the same direction as the grain. A karate board is generally cut with the long dimension against the grain.

NOT A Karate Board:

Baking is against the rules morally, but that didn't stop a lot of the kids parents from giving little Johnny a 'leg up' on the competition. At one test I vividly remember, our Sensei picked up a kid (Charlie's) boards and looked at them. They broke them over his head. Charlie ended up using the Sensei's board. He still did very well, but it was funny as hell.

You are cutting ~1 foot squares with the grain going the long way if you do so way is with the grain the other is not... 1x12s were used which is a standard size for lumber.
AKA it is how you hold it. The second picture if the board was turned it would be the same as the first.

IOW, "sorta." Gabe is a Microsoft refugee.

That line is simply a guide for the diamond bladed wet tile saw needed to get the crackers divided evenly.

Yup. I don't know why they even bother lying about this on these packages.

So many say to simply "insert thumb and pull up."

BULLSHIT.

And yet, even though there was no perforation, you continued to push.

I've had the worst luck with Kraft Dinner boxes... Usually poke the "open here" with the end of a fork or spoon to just make a hole.

It's trying to tell you not to eat Kraft macaroni. D:

The arch is one of the most stable structures, but I'm thinking your legs will keep getting in the way when drifting.

It's stable if the ends are fixed relative to each other, but here, they are on separate wheels.

Against the grain is definitely much more difficult. However, there are plenty of bat break videos out there. Painful but doable.

Hopefully you were the one in the glasses. Although you could probably return the xbone to the store.

Take the glass shit and put it in the Xbox box and do a return. Do they call it stuffing?
