    I broke smth in my ring finger bc I punched walls as a kid hoping to break it the way they did in spy kids. We make brick houses here. Was reminded of this after I saw a similar post on lemmy somewhere.

      I imagine many a European fist has suffered from Hollywood movies being set in the US, where walls are drywall.

        You need to know where the wooden studs are first because drywall is only easy to punch between the studs.

          Movies are unrealistic because they never show the angry stud finder part of punching walls.

          Some of my more intelligent friends were punching holes in drywall. Sure enough one poor guy found the stud and fucked up his wrist so badly he has a metal pin in it now.

        Inner walls in Europe may still be drywall, wouldn’t recommend checking it out hand-first though

        You just need practice ; I, for one, just considered it a given that you have to gradually raise the strength of your punch at a fscking concrete wall painted over, and then it’ll start slowly crumbling in the place you hit, like in those vids about Shaolin monks. Didn’t work, but aside from pain, no problems with my fists.

      I can’t decide if I’d rather do this, or put a hole in my parent’s wall as a kid. I kind of think the latter would have hurt more.
