Today, I picked up a broken piece of seemingly velvety cactus to show my mom. I now have a million microscopic, painful splinters in my fingers. FML

I'm the OP. That's what I did and it worked. Haha I'm still finding a few stragglers though.

Put a thick layer of glue on your fingers and let it dry completely. After it's good and dry, peel the glue off and it should pull at least some of the splinters out. Also, call your doctor if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours.

Actually you're wrong. There are a lot of cactus species, that aren't sharp at all.

I'm sure you've already fixed the situation by now, and perhaps my helpful tip has already been said (too many comments, cba to read them all). But the next time you get splinters like this, whether from fiberglass insulation, or more cactus hugging, or the like, take some duct tape, lay it over the area with splinters in it, make sure it adheres and then gently pull it off. Doing this should remove, if not all, then the majority of the splinters. just a helpful fyi!

That's how people learn that fire is hot: being a kid and keep touching no matter what.
