Alien: You’re telling me that in times of great distress humans have been known to suddenly gain the strength necessary to lift objects more than a dozen times their own weight?!
Human: Yeah, it’s called “hysterical strength” and it usually happens in life-or-death situations, like when someone gets stuck under a car or something and someone lifts the car to get them out. We can’t really test it though, ‘cause it only happens spontaneously.
Alien: Humans have the ability to tap into untold strength and power and you don’t even know how you do it?
Human: Pretty much, yeah. We think it has something to do with temporary analgesia, so we just don’t feel the pain we should when we pick up a 3000-pound car.
Alien: YOUR PAIN RESPONSE JUST SHUTS OFF?
Human: Yeah, it’s like an adrenaline thing? Do you not have that?
Alien: Fuck you and your entire species of tiny juggernauts.
Did this post just use a dialogue format to trick me into learning science
Had to check this out on wikipedia at least and boy was that a ride
SCIENCE!
Just so you guys know. Hysterical strength is basically your body not holding back and going %100 though there is a great danger of you hurting yourself or breaking something since your ignoring pain and going %100. There was a case where a kid deadlifted a car to save a sibling but,cracked 8 of his teeth during it because he was clenching his jaw so hard. So whilst you can lift a car or fight off polar bears. Your probably going to break something. Because most of the time when we are “giving our all” we are only giving a fraction of what we could give and this is because if we truly give our all we can seriously injure ourselves.
This is literally an explanation of Deku and his abilities with One For All.
Humans naturally hold back because our muscles have enough strength to rip themselves apart
the jonas brothers paved the way for other boy bands. the jonas brothers got rid of the whole idea that choreographed dancing makes a boy band. they played REAL instruments. gave us hit after hit. when you look me in the eyes made every girl age 7-87 swoon. burnin up not only was a summer hit but also started the iconic niley/nelena love triangle. lovebug made every girl from age 7-87 swoon AGAIN. fly with me made us all nick stans for a month. they werent just musicians tho, they were ACTORS, PERFORMERS, and SONGWRITERS as well. gave us camp rock, camp rock 2, jonas, and jonas l.a. their 3D concer experience was a moment in time no one can recreate. nick doing a backhand spring during the instrumental break during Goodnight and Goodbye? bringing big rob out for his verse in burnin up? bringing out water guns and soaking the crowd? they knew how to put on a SHOW. not only did they write their own music from the START but also wrote on demi lovatos debut album. they were the biggest boy band of our generation and it is time for EVERYONE to recognize that.
