I did that in a party ! "Check this out", I told to my friend, and clapped as if I was going to do the worm. I hopped and splatted flat on the floor and remained there, for the hilarity of everyone.
Yeah, same with strangulation. Unless itās a blood choke (which afaik you have to specifically try to do most of the time, since itās compressing then arteries to the brain on either side of the throat instead of the throat), normal strangulation takes a long time to get someone to pass out, and then several minutes to make sure theyāre dead. Not to mention that the body does automatically thrash to try to get air. Which it doesnāt during a blood choke, blood chokes can knock out someone in under 30 seconds and causes permanent severe brain damage in under 2 minutes iirc. Both can definitely severely injure someone, but itās much much easier to accidentally do with a blood choke.
Yeah, but Iām guessing if you donāt know what youāre doing and not going for it, it would be extremely hard to manage to do a blood choke when going for plain old strangulation.
Yeah, but the "sleeper hold" was popular in wrestling for a long time, and it's basically just a blood choke, so lots of people used to try to do that shit to each other.
Movies would be a lot more morbid if when some henchman gets choked to death it took a realistic amount of time. Even for a bad guy, audiences wouldn't like it. No, just quick 5 second struggle, then slump, not enough time for people watching to think too much about the implications.
Hell, just take it from killers themselves, a couple of them have said "it's way harder to strangle someone than you think." I know the 4chan dude who killed his girlfriend said something along those lines, and I think one of the more famous serial killers said something similar.
Plus Ed Kemper noted stabbings don't go like you think they would, they just "leak"
I was sent into a gas station with a $20 bill as a kid for the purpose of buying something just to get change. The cashier just told me to take the gum I had picked out. My parent wasnāt impressed lol
Fate/Stay Night. The Heavenās Feel route specifically iirc.
Tl;dr - MC has 3 magical abilities:
āKnow what shit is from a glance, including shit like how it was made and how to use itā
āFill something, including your own body, with magic to make it strongerā
āMake a replica of something out of magical energy.ā For the MC, this will 99% of the time be swords.
ā-
Typically, this will take the form of: Look at a sword -> make a replica of said sword with magic -> fill it with magic to make it stronger.
Unfortunately, the manā¦ hasnāt really mastered these skills, heās just kind of been winging it. So he accidentally tried to combine 2 and 3 into the same spell, which became āmake your body start growing swords in an attempt to make it strongerā
Fascinated with how this is presented; the blind self confidence, the expectation that people should perform happiness because it is aesthetically pleasing, and OP getting sniped by a tennis ball because Serena Williams is so professionally competent that it defies the laws of physics and biology
I believe this one was born when it was revealed most men answered they believed they could score one time in a tennis match against serena on a survey
The answer depends on how the question is asked though. "Do you believe..." the answer is obviously no but if it even slightly suggests there's a chance they would test my answer, then I'm lying my ass off on that.
I've not touched a racket since school, I know I'd be dead but I'm not gonna ruin my chance at a day out getting fed to Serena Williams by being a wuss! I'm giving a full throated yes and hoping she follows the explanation and apology over my sobbing.
I feel like this might fall under the āa person with 9/10 as much training is much easier for a master to deal with than someone with 1/20ā principle. Amateurs act in ways innovatively wrong
I mean if the enemies' guns in video games were realistic then the games would be a lot less fun too. Every game would be like Escape From Tarkov and you'd just be constantly dying instantly for no clear reason as some dot in the distance shoots you.
Oh yeah, there's a reason certain guns are nerfed for gameplay, and I don't think it should change. It just gives people this impression that shotguns aren't effective from more than like 30 feet away, so they're surprised to find out they can actually be effective from over a football field away, depending on the gun and type of ammunition used.
I guarantee you that's a snippet from Kentucky Ballistics on YouTube. I would have initially guessed it was the 4-bore shotgun, but as u/Raulgoldstein has already pointed out, you can see a mounted bipod leg sticking out below the barrel. Probably one of Scott's preposterous rifles. I forget the calibers of the really big ones he's got, I remember the largest caliber is his .950 JDJ 'Fat Mac,' which he's featured in several videos.
the person chortles, still several lanes away from me. but now, i have a baseline. if throwing more to the left didnāt work, then i will simply readjust and throw to the right.
(i ready the bowling ball and it immediately slips out of my fingers and crushes my toes)
I mean, that is kinda the point of this sub right? Post a joke/meme you really like and others post similar jokes in return? When you get niche jokes like this, then there's not a lot of content to pull from.
Thats actually a fair point. It is quite a niche joke I guess. Its just even the comments are pretty much lined up in exactly the same order upvote wise.
Things do seem to be reposted around every month though I can't believe its all organic when they all use the exact same picture as the original
Of course! Heat rises! And when the bullet comes out of the gun, itās burning hot, making the bullet curve up! Yet at the same time gravity is pulling the bullet down. So JoJo is perfectly traveling where itās too low for the heat, yet too high for gravity! Itās incredible! Heās able to come directly at the gun without a single shot hitting!
Ho ho! You attempted to dodge my bullet with your Heat Rises Gravity Falls technique! Impressive, but futile! I predicted that you'd try that and, as I fired my gun, I wiggled it around to alter the angular velocity of the bullet! This of course caused the bullet to fly through the air in the shape of a "Sine" wave, causing it to pass through all of your possible dodge paths! It's like studying for a test using a cheat sheet all weekend, only for the professor to use different questions on the day of the exam! Now die, Jongler Joestar!
Oh but look now in your hand! You mustāve just grabbed the first gun you could, what you didnāt realize is thatās a 1973 9mm cobra mouth! The cobra mouth is known for having a split second slower firing time! Meaning that firing in a āsineā wave, itās fired in a ācosineā wave, which would mean itās completely opposite to my path no matter what! In the end, it was your own arrogance and ignorance that did this, I neednāt change course in the slightest!
So, obviously, his plan was to slide between the gunmans legs, where he would attempt to shoot good old John here. He would of course miss and because he was aiming down the heat produced from the gunshot would rise into his face, blinding him, so that he could then be subdued.
It's making fun of how sometimes in media, a character will figure out a solution to whatever situation they're in and then yell the cocnclusion or a key observation with zero elaboration that would make it make sense to anyone but them as they move to act on said solution...
Except in this case, they were probably just a dumbass who misjudged.
IIRC, he's looking at the body of a victim wearing all pink and figures that she was on a trip, so she must have had also a pink suitcase with her, so he runs and when they ask him he just screams "pink" and fucks off
