I'm not sure if there's a PYF Bad rear end Videos thread, so does anyone here have the video series of a guy doing regular everyday things in cool ways - like throwing his bread across the room into the toaster etc? I was kind of a day in the life, and he did a lot of parkour things. I remember running across it years ago on youtube, but all the searches I can think of didn't bring it up.

HonorableTB posted:There were some instances on the Eastern Front of WW2 of artillery shells from opposing sides colliding in mid-air, indiscriminately showering both the German and Russian troops with hot shrapnel. If that can happen, bullets colliding with each other is not out of the question either. I mean, it's not "out of the question" for it to happen, but you've got a whole string of coincidences that have to come together. Napoleonic era mashed together musket or cannon balls are a lot more likely that smokeless era bullets, which would have to hit each other hard enough to stick but not to fragment, would have to be found, kept and got home. Each of those, quite apart from the ridiculous odds of two bullets hitting, makes it much more likely that an enterprising chap in a foxhole knocked it together with a drill.

ultrafilter posted:It's not so much strength, though. Mariusz Pudzianowski won the World's Strongest Man competition five times, and had a pretty underwhelming career in MMA. The issue here is more that Hafthor outweighs the other guy by at least 200 lbs. That's nearly a quarter Thor.

Bombadilillo posted:Yeah. That guy probably had to actually pick the log up. The setup of the modern recreation didn't feel genuine to the legend. I remember reading that the first chap picked it up the same as the modern one (off a trestle) but didn't have one to support it if he fell over, so when he went down the log went crossfit on his spine.

empty sea posted:I've met a bunch of them at work and have never handled one that wasn't a gigantic sissy baby, almost as bad as weimer but not as spastic or stupid. Maybe it's bad stock and bad breeders over here in the land of the free, but my god the drama in doing an exam, much less anything more taxing. I knew a chap with a mastiff/ridgeback cross called Elsa. The owner was a white Zimbabwean, covered in very crude tattoos and missing a good proportion of teeth, which along with a very thick accent and poor hearing (and consequent shouting) made him incomprehensible and menacing. Very nice when you got to know him, one of the only truly pleasant horse obsessed people I’ve met, and he had an uncanny ability to get on with horses that otherwise needed strong handlers to tack up. His dog was enormous, all muscle and had a toothy half-open resting mouth position like a shark. Like him, she looked mean but was very soft, but unlike him she didn’t know she looked scary, so she would chase people down to greet them and never understood why they ran. She liked to jump off the top steps of the horsebox, maybe 10 feet from the ground, onto me, and I think carrying that dense beast around did more for my core strength than years of riding. When relaxed she’d extend her tongue out until miles of it flapped all over the place. Miss that dog. The owner went to get a better paid job one summer when I was away.

OwlFancier posted:Particular flavours, such as you find in curry, or with peppers, cayenne particularly, just basically switch off my tongue, so I don't see the appeal of eating them. Because I literally can't taste what I'm eating. It's a similar experience to eating when you have a cold, like you're just shoveling stuff into your mouth but there is no enjoyment so it's a struggle. I remember a post someone made about how for a long time they didn’t realise they were allergic to something (lemons?) until they mentioned in passing to a friend “oh, I don’t mind citrus flavours but I don’t like how they make your tongue and throat numb”.
