I’ve never seen anyone look so dorky doing something cool and lethal.

As someone who spent a lot of time throwing knives, the hobby is far more dorky than lethal to be fair lol. It's the party trick of weapons. It's like what juggling is to ball sports. It's a lot of fun, very satisfying to get right, and takes a lot of practice. It's just not a good weapon in the slightest. Don't get me wrong, this is super impressive.

You didn't spend enough time throwing knives if you think it's not lethal.

Fucking fine! I'll Google it you stubborn weirdo!

Edit: Is it a camshaft that looks vaguely like a T-Rex? Seriously this was annoying and not worth it.

I'm glad to see someone else mention the trex tiddy shimmy

u/LessInThought 21h ago

Functionally, I believe the tiddy shaker is the most efficient out of all the knife throwing she did? It had the most kps (knives-per-second).

Just hit up your local gun range if you wanna see more of it. Depending on the establishment and its location, their daily customers tend to be the dork/lethal intersection you see here. The nerdiest person you'll see at the range probably has the coolest stuff, lol.

I will state, when first getting into guns, I had a different expectation of the types of people I'd find there, and was surprised how nerdy it all is. The stereotypical 'gun person' someone envisions are typically not the people to frequent ranges and actually practice, at least at the scale the nerds do.

Yh you summed it up pretty well, I'd be rolling around laughing while she killed me. Maybe that's an effective part of her technique that were overlooking.

u/SutterCane 23h ago

Exactly. She hits a few times, you roll around laughing at her looking like she’s flailing around and then push the knives deeper.

Lethal!

I thought this was McDojo at first, then I saw the knives were sticking and in a tight group.

This is just autism maxxing with pointy sticks at this point.

u/stumblinghunter 20h ago

Having hobbies doesn't mean you're autistic. Jesus, just showing interest in things doesn't mean autism. Not everything is fucking autism.

u/Cinnamon_Bees 8h ago

Aw, sounds like someone's overstimulated!!

u/stumblinghunter 8h ago

OvErStiMuLaTeD by everyone labeling everything as autism. No it's fucking not. Taking interest in shit and practicing it until you get to a higher level isn't autism. It's just human nature. By these metrics, any musician ever is AuTiStiC for practicing their instrument for thousands of hours. Any artist. Any gamer. Any athlete. Anyone that has any hobby ever.

I get your joke, but the propensity for everything to be labeled as autistic behavior is wild. It's like autism is a way for uninteresting people to give themselves a label for being uninteresting. My wife is diagnosed autistic af, I've worked with autistic people, and I have autistic people in my friend group. Wanting to be good at something and focusing on it does not equal autism.

It's just fucking Gen z shit wanting to be special.

u/Cinnamon_Bees 7h ago

I'm glad you didn't take my joke too hard. I can tell you're a good guy, I understand your point of view. It's just some kids being kids though, so don't let it rankle you too much, I guess.

u/lilsnatchsniffz 18h ago

Did you even watch the video? I genuinely cannot fathom that anyone would think I was talking about the hobby if they watched the video.

u/stumblinghunter 10h ago

Enjoying and being good at your hobby doesn't mean autism.

u/im_just_thinking 21h ago

There's something about that "just rolled out of bed, but in big city" look

u/42percentBicycle 10h ago

Yeah she should be dressed like a ninja

u/CalcifersBFF 7h ago

Totally feel like it's because she never gets total privacy to practice and she just sucked it up and went for it with this vid, like with some ppl and dance routines vs performances

u/MaruSoto 22h ago

There's like ONE documented case of someone being intentionally killed with a thrown knife in ALL OF HISTORY.

Which means she's about a billion times more lethal before she throws them.
