I’m expecting some child recreating superhero stunts and gerting hurt

I remember going to the first fast n furious at the theater. Ice storm during the movie so everything was covered in ice after, had to chisel around the door just to open it. But that didn’t kill the racing spirit in some of them. They got in their cars and tore out of the parking lot. 2 slammed into trees on their way out. Another didn’t get far, jackknifed himself on a light pole. I just sat in my car watching it, way better than the movie.

Are you saying that an actual car wreck was better than FnF movie? Because I totally agree.
I broke smth in my ring finger bc I punched walls as a kid hoping to break it the way they did in spy kids. We make brick houses here. Was reminded of this after I saw a similar post on lemmy somewhere.

I imagine many a European fist has suffered from Hollywood movies being set in the US, where walls are drywall.
- Albbi ( @Albbi@lemmy.ca ) 11•10 months ago
You need to know where the wooden studs are first because drywall is only easy to punch between the studs.
- laxu ( @laxu@sopuli.xyz ) suomi3•10 months ago
Movies are unrealistic because they never show the angry stud finder part of punching walls.
- lad ( @sukhmel@programming.dev ) 5•10 months ago
Inner walls in Europe may still be drywall, wouldn’t recommend checking it out hand-first though

You just need practice ; I, for one, just considered it a given that you have to gradually raise the strength of your punch at a fscking concrete wall painted over, and then it’ll start slowly crumbling in the place you hit, like in those vids about Shaolin monks. Didn’t work, but aside from pain, no problems with my fists.

I can’t decide if I’d rather do this, or put a hole in my parent’s wall as a kid. I kind of think the latter would have hurt more.

Sled down the stairs and out the front door like in Home Alone. My stairs didn’t perfectly line up so I hit the edge and went tumbling. luckily at 7 my bones were made of rubber and I only had bruises
- Albbi ( @Albbi@lemmy.ca ) 17•10 months ago
The stairs in the movie don’t line up either. Always bothered me.

I was just thinking about this. I’m in my 40’s and it feels like I now break a rib if I sneeze hard, and I was wondering whether I’m actually “less durable” nowadays than I was when I was younger
- Square Singer ( @squaresinger@feddit.de ) 16•10 months ago
You have to consider the square cube law.
Weight scales far quicker than bone strength.
And also kids are 24/7 running around and doing something for their fitness if they are allowed to.
Most adults don’t do that.
- Chahk ( @chahk@beehaw.org ) 11•10 months ago
Ever seen what happens to a rubber band that’s been sitting unused in a drawer for 5 years? Same thing.

Actually,yes. Kids bones are less rigid/more flexible. (And younger kids don’t even have some bones to begin with -patellae-/they aren’t fused together yet -skull-)
And of course you have more weight and a longer “lever” to break things.
- CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@futurology.today ) English1•10 months ago
Kevin should have rolled down the stairs in a tire instead. I bet that would actually work.

When me and my younger brother were little, we were outside playing and digging in the snow with an old claw hammer from the barn. It must have been shortly after watching the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
I got the bright idea to tell him to stick the claw of the hammer in the snow, then pull it out and lick it, just like Yukon Cornelius does, and maybe we could find gold.
Needless to say, tongue + ice cold metal hammer were quite the match and he was stuck instantly. Being as little as we were he panicked and ripped it off, along with a large thick chunk of tongue skin. Quite a bit of red snow that day…
I remember getting in trouble for that one. My parents definitely thought I tricked him on purpose, but I couldn’t have been more than 8 or so and definitely did not. I also remember that hammer sitting outside for the rest of the winter, with a chunk of tongue still frozen to it.
That doesn’t sound particularly nice
- Dharma Curious ( @DharmaCurious@startrek.website ) 28•10 months ago
I can’t remember what movie it was, but we took the ball out of an old school computer mouse, the kind that’s a solid steel ball covered in rubber. Then we all sat in a circle, and hucked it at each other’s nuts. Hurt like a mother, and we each did it at least ten times, iirc, but that may just be me remembering it more extreme than it was, because it was horrid. Lol. We played many, many times during sleep overs and such. I think my balls we bruised for most of my 13th year. Lol.

My brother, some friends, and I did a martial arts tournament like Mortal Kombat. Needless to say I won.
Oh yeaaaah we used to do those in school, wirh my brother and cousins we had wwe tournaments. Got beat up a lot in school and then bullied my cousins (they were older its ok)

Avatar 2 was awesome in theater, at least in Imax 3D. It was so fucking gorgeous, I was transfixed.
- rbesfe ( @rbesfe@lemmy.ca ) 3•10 months ago
Say what you will about the writing, but I would have paid double just to see that level of CGI fidelity. My jaw was on the floor for so long my mouth got dry
- Gunpachi ( @gunpachi@lemmings.world ) 10•10 months ago
Not a movie, but I remember trying to do kamehameha when I was 8 years old or something after watching Dragon ball Z.
Flash gun and that future trunks move on freeza were my go tos
- pacoboyd ( @pacoboyd@lemm.ee ) 8•10 months ago
Nothing overly crazy but I remeber watching the Matrix in the theater for the first time and being sooo pumped up that my buddy and I went whopping and hollaring through the mostly abandoned mall food court (got out super late). Mall security ended up chasing us down in the parking lot because they thought we had stolen something or were vandals. We had to explain we were just high from a great movie lol.

Some kids claimed you could run faster if you hold your fingers straight, because that’s how T-1000 (Robert Patrick) runs in Terminator 2.

I was just trying to feel the Force and gradually jump from bigger heights. Haven’t broken anything, so it was more or less good sport. But taught me wrong things about physical strength etc.

Crack my neck and hands because of a stupid teacher that always did that in a series. Once in, never coming back

Said Candyman in the mirror five times. Don’t know what I was expecting. If it worked, I’d be brutally murdered. If it didn’t nothing would have changed. There was no positive outcome to this action, onlybad and neutral…

I saw some dumb movie about a time travel loop a few months back, I don’t even remember the name. The plot was so uninspired, I started to think about how to prevent time loops from ever occurring, so at least that kind of lazy writing won’t invade nonfiction. It sort of snowballed into a hardware design.
It’s definitely the dumbest reason I’ve had to build a particle detector. The idea is to generate output that would be different in every iteration (via no-hidden-variables + a tunneling-governed radioactive decay), to determine whether you are in a loop via a simple statistical test.
If that poses a problem for something you will have been working on, just reach out by December 1st, 2023 with the one-time-code "19 8 9 2 2 15 12 5 20 8 ". I will have recognized that, and we could have planned around what your needs will have been.

Wait, you created TFA for the TVA? 😶🫠
- Saigonauticon ( @Saigonauticon@voltage.vn ) English2•10 months ago
Well, the false-positive rate for people claiming to be time travelers will have been pretty high, if we are going to have been honest. At least in the reverse direction.
I’ll also have concluded that the verb tenses will have been miserable. We will have needed a less cumbersome language. Maybe I’ll have solved that, someday.
I mean try untangling ‘You will have had to have had had had traveled’. Bit of a pain to discuss iterations of a loop, and that’s not even that many deep.
