I want to be able to crush an apple with one hand (lemmy.world)

I just think at some point in my life, there is going to be a wonderful comedic opportunity to crush an apple and I should learn how or train now. e: Anybody else have any ridiculous goals right now?

I didn't know if this was possible so I looked for some videos.

This guy isn't very big, but does it fairly easily with his fingertips, and can crush it with a full grip but it takes him some effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGCawR9vBXE&t=64

Three big guys here with full grips do pretty poorly, then the big guy turns it to pulp in a second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eICtcsd0TvY&t=288

I think you've got your work cut out for you.

Wow that was really thoughtful of you, now I feel a little bit sheepish saying that I can actually do this. I just wanted to spark discussion about silly things.

Ive always wanted to make a reality tv show where you take regular people who have always wanted to do something but through whatever reasons never had the chance. Like someone who has never surfed and training them until they can do proper "big wave" surfing. Or someone who has never sat on a horse and training them to ride in a rodeo.

I think that's such a clever idea, and it's kind-spirited.

I have always wanted to know how to box. Not because I want to hit somebody, but something about all of the footwork, core and the fundamentals that are strongly developed seems compelling to me.
