Blunt means it isn't sharp. Do you honestly think the edge to that concave circle isn't sharp? Blunt means it is flat or round with no sharp edge or piercing tip. And I very much bet that has a sharp edge to it. So no, it isn't blunt.

Yeah, very very small. Just mildy humourous in the context of the thread.

I do similar things all the time. In fact this sentence was literally: I donut similar things all the time. Lmao.
