Comment on The european mind can't comprehend this
AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 8 months agoI’m gonna go out on a limb and say some fat people my surprise you with their strength. They throw around more weight quite often, it’s stamina that’s lacking. A single, forceful attack is believable to me.
My BIL is literally twice my weight,if not more; and has several inches of height on me.
Severity can be promoted by need. For example, his drunk ass wanted to get off the couch to threaten his sister (my wife). I introduced him to the floor, rapidly.
Speed and skill can overcome size. That being said, I’ve always been on the smaller side of stature and weight, and a hit from someone twice your size hurts when they connect. Period.
They have to catch you first.
Tried running away from my house one time when I was about 12, my stepfather was 400+lbs and closed the distance to my flat-out pretty damn quick. Only got ~20m

Yeah, that’s just a redistribution of weight in our legs are good for it.
Last time it was in a country with a lot of pickpocketing I just wanted to put a little open baggie of automotive grease in my breast pocket. I was bump checked three times in Paris in one block.
