Explanation: Mantis shrimps have the most powerful punches in nature with respect to their body size. It can probably break human bones.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

"probably" is more "likely fracture" if you get punched by them and you take the full 1500 newtons straight on the finger.

According to https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/bmt-2012-0004/html

(I can only access the abstract) fractures appear at an average of 1485 N, albeit in a different situation (jamming rather than strike)

  • Mantis shrimps are incredibly strong
  • Girl asks the shrimp if it could help her in boxing
  • Shrimp controls girl like the rat controls the boy in Ratatouille
  • Shrimp-controlled-girl obliterates and possibly kills her opponent
  • Girl contemplates whether it was a good idea or not

That explains why I didn't get it at first, I thought she was holding the hungry hungry caterpillar.

Oh this is good

*Actually I take it back, it would be funnier if she was just holding a pistol in the bottom frame.

Only if it was a pistol shrimp
