TIL Unlimited Combat aka Mad Dog Fist.


Commenters commented it to be Chinese Krav Maga but it does feel like proper self defense technique.

The importance is to value your life over your opponent's.

Because they fear a person who is willing to kill them than a person who is not.

So basically
RANMA kungfu. :blob_aww:

(anything-goes DOJO= in the manga / Happosai > Dad of ranma/akane > Ranma / Akanae too but more on strength)

Unbelievably was already thought of, since 1987 (ranma publish date)

This is a thread for people to share what interesting things they've learned today. It can be anything from introspective philosophy to finding out that you're not a normal person. I'll go first: Today I found out that not only do people think that eating garlic raw is weird, but I also found out that Taco Bell (Destroyer of colons and remover of 90's aesthetics) has been considered the healthiest fast-food restaurant in America for years and Chipotle has topped it this past year.
I recently started watching a C drama, Gen z. And I found out that people actually give bad ratings if smth doesn't has romance as the main plot?? I'm shocked. Because to me this series (and similar ones) are DOPE. I learn so many things. This also got me in acupuncture and TCM. I have started learning the basics ?

That the term 'black boxer' has a spiritual meaning in the sense that the black boxer here is an evil being cut off from light that 'boxes in' a soul into the figurative boxing ring called the physical world and its rigid constraints where they are able to toy with you in a way you will absolutely dislike. I hate le demiurge so much

So Joe Biden has cancer. Something that is important to know, it's Metastasized. This would've happened a while ago as it's not an aggressive cancer. Here's the thing, it gives enough reasonable doubt to demand an investigation of who was running the Government when he received treatment.

Also, our magnetic north pole is actually the south pole, if you look into how magnets work, however it's called that because humans are fuckin stupid.

Oh, and the Magnetic north pole is moving, and will be in Siberia soon, like in a few years. And there is a chance this will lead to a pole shift

There is a persistent myth that Earth is overpopulated, however that's not the whole picture. We've ballooned up to over 8B people... congrats, you just filled up Texas. Recently, a report hit my desk, that stated there aren't enough 18 year old graduating, or even existing to keep our economy alive, if on life support. This sadly is true. However, there is a solution. Mongolia is a basis, upon which to build.

Note I made CGPT search for these sources, but I personally verified the info contained.

I learned that I am rather weak the sleeping pills specifically… I could take a whole pill cocktail and be completely fine by the next day… but I can take only two sleeping pills and I’ll be knocked out for like 20+ hours days-nyah~

Totally no clue about politics, nor living in america
simply saw an upsure of memes about a dude and saying irony irony irony.

So asked grok. (ps: im not using twitter but asked grok-AIof twitter)


pps : AI praised my skills at analogies.
Wasn't David Hogg also the guy who thought it was a good idea to get rid of all of the so-called "Moderates" from the Dems.....which would leave him with nothing but the same old weirdo Progressive men can be girls and vice-versa, Trump is the Anti-christ types....? I suspect David Hogg will have a long career in Leftist politics, because he's just as stupid and crazy as the rest of them and they seem to favor, support, and breed this kind of lunacy in the modern Democrat Party.

They'll find him something to do elsewhere and out of sight for a while, he's too much of a lemming for them to get rid of permanently.

Wasn't the global flooding of the Younger Dryas, which gave rise to the stories of The Great Flood in pretty much every single mythology on Earth, caused by a magnetic pole shift?

TIL The “Grave with the Hands” in Roermond, Netherlands are two tombstones on opposite sides of a wall connected by two hands holding each other. This is for a Protestant/Catholic couple who had to be buried in separate sections of the cemetery.

Oh, absolutely—imagine Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! but fueled by Chinese web novels instead of light novels. The delusions would reach stratospheric levels of cringe and grandeur, transforming Kyoto into a xianxia battleground where every awkward teen is a hidden realm master or a reincarnated demon sovereign.


? Chuunibyou Meets Chinese Novel Tropes: The Chaos

1. Rikka’s New Backstory

  • Original Delusion: "The Eye of the Wicked Lord" (just a fancy eyepatch).
  • Chinese Novel Upgrade: "I am the last descendant of the Void-Splitting Sword Emperor, and this eyepatch seals my Heavenly Dao Annihilation Pupil! If I remove it, the world ends!"
    • Bonus: She now carries a plastic ruler she calls "The Frostbane Blade of Nine Mysteries."

2. Yuuta’s Descent into Madness

  • Original: Mildly embarrassed but plays along.
  • Chinese Novel Upgrade: Starts actually believing he’s a transmigrated villainfrom a cultivation world and "pretends" to cultivate in his room.
    • "I must refine my Qi before math class…" (Stares intensely at a pencil.)

3. Dekomori’s New Arsenal

  • Original: "Mori Summer" nonsense and twin-drill attacks.
  • Chinese Novel Upgrade: Claims her drills are "Soul-Devouring Spiral Lances" and that she’s a puppet master of the Blood Rose Sect.
    • New Catchphrase: "Fool! You dare challenge the Divine Whirlwind Enchantress?!"

4. Kumin’s Ascension

  • Original: Naps and vague cosmic jokes.
  • Chinese Novel Upgrade: Now the "Sleeping Dragon Sage"—her naps are actually her soul meditating in the Nine Dream Realms.
    • "You think I’m sleeping? I’m bargaining with the Heavenly Dao!"

5. Nibutani’s Suffering

  • Original: Tries (and fails) to be normal.
  • Chinese Novel Upgrade: Forced to play the "Jade Beauty of the Ice Phoenix Sect"to keep up with the madness.
    • Secretly writes cultivation fanfiction but denies it furiously.

? Peak Scenes in This AU

  • School Festival Arc: The club stages a "Immortal Ascension Ceremony" in the gym, complete with paper talismans and a "lightning tribulation" made of strobe lights.
  • Love Confession: Yuuta tries to confess but Rikka interrupts with "Our love is fated by the Karmic Dao! The Heavenly Mirror showed me our past lives!"
  • Villain Attack: Some poor normal kid asks to join the club, and they "test his cultivation base" by making him hold a glow stick for 10 minutes.

Final Verdict

This AU would be the most unhinged, glorious trainwreck—a perfect blend of chuunibyou cringe and Chinese novel absurdity.

(Now go write this fanfic. The world needs it.) ??

lol, this is just unhinged brainrot

Hey !

Learned that im not "evil" to think "destroy everything"
Bc remember guys.
In the bible.
Once upon a time.
GOD flooded the whole world and killed innumerable people, reset to 0.

ps : At first, had the thought of : angels basically has some that are armed(sword/spear+armor) and in charge of killing villains/demons and so "seems evil but in fact good" = Me hating&wanting to destroy evil very much in gruesome way = isnt "bad"
But then remembered there is this famously known "bigger event" about "killing evil" by a higherup than angels themselves, GOD.
lol
