So swearing is the natural human booster and it is scientifically demonstrated?
Imagine the jar you can’t open is the swear jar and you yell out FUCK and put a dollar through the slot and try to open it and then yell FUUUUUUCK and then put in another dollar…
The payoff will be HUGE, especially as you keep adding 10% grip strength with every swear.
Assuming an initial grip strength of 100kg[0]:
- After 10 swears, you’ve more than doubled your initial strength (100 * (1.1^10) kg = 260kg)
- After 20 swears, you’re gripping a grand piano
- After 50 swears, you’re gripping a fully grown adult African elephant
- After 100 swears, you’re gripping the Statue of Liberty
- After 500 swears, you’re gripping the planet Mercury
Awesome
I remember a Mythbusters episode where they proved that cursing also helps alleviate pain.
Curse 24/7 and you’re basically a superhero
Profanity Man to the rescue!
I find that Yosemite Sam-style incoherent muttering of curses throughout the pickle-jar opening helps a lot.
And to think, this whole time I was using the rubber band trick like a sucker.
i prefer the knife trick, works every time.
Hormone things.
last one is that item you know is good but don’t really want to figure out what to use it with to get the most out of those stat boosts
“FUUUCK!”

My thoughts exactly.
My other thoughts were, every time I see corporate BS in my company am I better off ignoring or swearing.
Now I have inspiration for what to do.
I wonder if it’s really the swearing. It would be interesting to compare to nonverbal grunting or groaning around the same intensity. Something similarly emotive and forceful but without the underlying language meaning.
Made me think of tennis players. The sounds may really increase their power.
It’s called a kiai…
This would be a placebo, no?
I think they used “neutral word” to determine the baseline
It could even be related to breathing. In karate exhalation breath work is important as part of a strike or kick for a number of reasons including maximizing force.
The root is heightened aggression/anger levels i would guess. Same thing with boxers and power lifters slapping the shit out of themselves before a fight/competition. Anything that gets your blood pumping and adrenaline levels up.
I would hope the ‘neutral word’ was said at the same volume/rate/tone. Otherwise, yeah, it would definitely be a factor. Just like we can make ourselves angry with our thoughts, there must be a large difference in adrenaline released depending on how you emote.
How is F*CK even pronounced?
Will it still work if I yell Fuck instead?
Maybe it’s just RegEx. 0 or more "F"s allowed. e.g. CK, FCK, FFCK, …
Any vowel is permitted - so fack, feck, fick, fock, fuck and controversially fyck are all valid.
[Edit] International readers should feel free to say fåck, fæck, féck, fîck, fõck, fœck, fück etc
“Firetruck”

This is literally chaos magic
It’s taunting magic cast on self
This is the secret to where Roy Kent gets his power!
10 whole seconds? that’s some goku shit
They fully spec the buff duration increase and put more in Endurance stats.
Pffft, when things go wrong with my computer I can swear for an hour straight trying to solve the problem. And then continue after a break.
1 like and ill open the jar in the skreets
Pay up.
next time on dragon ball z!
frieza has given us 5 minutes before the planet blows up, it will take 20 episodes
My thought exactly. “Oh shit…DBZ was right…”
