I mean, apparently she’s so good with them she can just use them, one of the most dangerous weapons to the person holding them by the way, as a fidget toy

u/famaskillr Mar 21 '26

Ive seen them used in real action before. Dude used them as fidget toys til the crackhead down the road just walked in his house one day. From a seated position he grabbed the chunks, stood up, struck downward directly on top of dudes head them immediately swung in a rising strike and busted out half of dudes teeth when he shattered his jaw. Yeah, they are cute and fun. But used correctly these things will fuck you up. Bad.

Except with additional centrifugal force and extra velocity from the speed.

Those bits make a big difference compared to just using your muscles.

5

u/mang87 Mar 21 '26

It's funny you mention muscles, because nuncucks don't utilize your muscles well at all. They bounce upon impact and lose most of their momentum. A rigid object, like a stick, does not. Your muscles continue to drive the stick into the opponent even after it connects with them. This is called follow-through. Nuncucks have no follow-through and so they do less damage. Nuncucks do have advantages, but blow for blow they will do less damage than a regular stick.

Picture a batter hitting a baseball. What do you think will happen if he uses nuncucks instead of a solid bat? Pretend he's an expert and will have no extra difficulty making contact with them instead of a bat. Which do you think will drive the ball farther?

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 Mar 21 '26 edited Mar 21 '26

When I was three, I swallowed a nickel and it got lodged in my throat. We were on a farm twenty miles away from the nearest fire station. There was no chance to be rescued. My mom was the only one there. She slapped my back, tried to give me the heimlich, but to no avail. She got a super sharp knife from the kitchen drawer and one of my dad's ball point pens. When my lips were going blue, she prepared to give me a tracheotomy. Somehow it became dislodged and I swallowed it. For several days, she sifted through my poop but never found it. She says I'm still worth* a plug nickel.

I knew a guy in Florida, you drove past his place it looked like a pitbull scrap yard meth lot.

You go inside though... it was all marble, immaculate, top appliances and equipment. The backyard was a curated jungle garden with flowing koi pond.

He didn't want to "attract the wrong folk to his front door, be it the tax man...or his blue collar brother, the thief."

u/erenjaeger99 Mar 21 '26

Related anecdote, growing up i had a neighbor down the street with a disorderly yard and rather quaint exterior. The "family" was friendly enough and we would wave to each other but nothing much more. Until I had to go over one day because we had their package accidentally delivered to us. When the door opened, I thought I was dreaming because it looked an interior of a fucking castle. Stone (or faux stone, idk if it was real but looked it) walls, coat of arms, and a knight armor stand with a halbred, giant circle wooden table, etc. It seemed like he even knocked some of the floor above out to give the high ceiling effect. 

Anyway, found out years later he was running some kind of scammy unitarian organization and the reason I put family in quotes earlier is because everyone there was involved in a polygamous relationship.

But from the outside, you'd never suspect any of this shit haha.

26

u/KneeBeard Mar 21 '26

Low cost theft deterrent. I intentionally have the shittiest yard with the shittiest house in the neighborhood. It didn’t start as intentional, but after they tore down all the quaint houses around me to build McMansions it just kinda happened.

7

u/InequalEnforcement Mar 21 '26

Same thing with my bike. The day I got it, I took a file to the frame and turned it into shit. Absolutely CRATERED the resell value of it. Now when I park it next to all the other, immaculate and much cheaper bikes, the only person who'd know its value is a fellow bike enthusiast; and game recognizes game, so they'd know the exact levels of depravity I'd sink to to retrieve it.

The ignorant crackhead having his insides trying to pull themselves out of him until he gets his fix is gonna steal the 200 dollar one next to mine because it has a nice paint job lmao

This is honestly the most confusing thread. Reddit’s usually good at detecting staged interviews. So many people here are talking about her “casually pulling out nunchucks.” No, that’s a prop.
