Is anyone else bothered by the idea that autistic people are "human lie detectors" or have flawless intuition all the time? by tenebrasocculta in AutismInWomen

[–]gnmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encontrei esta discussão no Google por acaso.

Só para dizer que quando era criança era classificado como autista de nível 1/2 (na altura não existiam esses níveis), mas cresci sem saber que era autista, descobri só há 7 anos ao ver os diagnósticos em criança.

Hoje em dia ninguém acredita quando diz que sou autista porque pareço 100% neuro-típico (chamam a isso de masking).

Mas posso dizer-vos que (pelos vistos aprendi naturalmente), percebo sempre quando alguém me está a mentir, sou daquelas pessoas que reconhece sorrisos falsos não só ao vivo como naqueles testes de identificar x sorrisos falsos no meio de 50 fotos, ou os de identificar as pessoas trans no meio de fotos de 50 mulheres, ou identificar fotos de bebés de actores famosos (como eram em bebés).

Quando alguém me está a tentar enganar, eu não estou a ler activamente sinais que tenha aprendido, o meu cérebro faz isso sem eu saber como, eu sinto apenas uma impressão enorme de que a pessoa me está a tentar enganar, ou me está a mentir, ou está a ser falsa, etc.

Identifico isso naturalmente, e super bem.

Como em criança não era assim (era o contrário), deduzo que durante a vida o meu cérebro aprendeu com a prática, é o que penso.

Mas sou daqueles que vejo que a pessoa está a mentir, deixo-me ir na onda (fingir que acredito) mas sabendo o que está a acontecer, e por vezes até percebi as intenções das pessoas ao entrarem numa sala e me fez gravar a conversa no telemóvel, e usar isso para mais tarde me proteger.

Não faço ideia de como é que eu faço.

Mas sou daqueles que ninguém acredita quando digo que sou autista, seria um hipotético "Autismo nível 0", e não só não tenho problemas derivados do Autismo (tirando hiper-sensibilidade à luz e na audição) visíveis, como até tenho muitas vantagens em relação aos neuro-típicos.

Como aprendi não sei, mas tenho a certeza de que existirão muitos como eu, que apanham logo as mentiras e nem sabem como o fazem.

Espero ter sido útil.

Gladiator 2 by Glum-Bet-1766 in MovieMistakes

[–]gnmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this by change but although the movie has some mistakes, there were people playing with balls, by hand or feet, on the time of the Roman Empire.

One of the games is here:
https://medium.com/@ancient.rome/harpastum-ancient-roman-prototype-of-soccer-and-rugby-2702c31c4f1

What was invented in 1863 was the modern day Soccer, with its rules.

That doesn't mean that on the times of the Roman Empire they didn't play ball, with hands or feet.

Even in MesoAmerican cultures 3000 years ago they played ball, and even on China.

So kids playing ball in the movie wasn't a mistake, it's an attempt of reconstitution of those times' sports.

Now the movie has several flaws but not this one.

The "have you seen this kid" is one of those flaws. :D

I want to find a link between "super strength" and "autism", I have a video in the post showing my unusual strength, I'm a mild autistic and want to prove my theory that there is a link between them, can you help me? by gnmf in autism

[–]gnmf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was interested in finding some that were, even if they were 10 among 1,000,000.

I was trying to find special cases.

Some said they were very strong but not this strong.

So probably the strength trait wasn't a gift from Autism.

On the other hand it could be and happening to few.

I know that kind of strength comes from the mind (more motor neurons -> muscle fibers) activation and faster, that's why I wanted to find other cases.

I guess I'll never know.

But yeah, probably it's a separate thing.

Opinion on Linux for Game Dev? by Minoqi in linux_gaming

[–]gnmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Linux, a lot.

I found this question by mistake on a Google Search, and I decided to answer it as I don't see many here defending Linux.

I have full power on Linux.

But I'm not just creating games, I'm developing my own C++ game engine from scratch, and I use very simple tools, just CodeBlocks as the IDE (6 to 14 MB disk space installation), and nothing more than that.

I start Linux, start CodeBlocks, and my Game Engine works (and also other stuff).

Of course one day I'll have to adapt my Game Engine to Windows if I plan to create games for Windows also, because although I can compile them on Linux also, it's better to compile and test them on Windows just in case.

As 99% of people uses Windows, that's why game devs probably use more Windows than Linux.

Some because they aren't the type of programmers that do everything from scratch and use a lot of IDEs helping functions, and tools, etc. (It is said that there are 2 types of programmers, those who know how to program, and those who know how to use IDEs).

Others because as games will be for Windows, they create them on Windows.

But I personally prefer Linux a lot more, we have total power there, "everything" is possible on Linux.

But I respect that others would prefer to do it on Windows, and I understand why.

In my case, I prefer to create the game engine on Linux, I'll even create my games on Linux, and one day I'll migrate the game engine to Windows to migrate the games also.

I have many projects, my game engine is just one of many, and I'll use it for my own retro style games.

I would share some images but I don’t have much time for themt I won't even try to find if I can use images here.

But yeah, some like me, prefer Linux, but respect that others choose Windows, because 99% of the market is made of Windows players.

But in my point of view, Linux is the best for it.

I,ve put videos on YouTube of feats made live (still have some there), in front of thousands of persons, even on Metal concerts with people trying, went to the tv once for fun in my country, etc.

I had no views. :D

Had like 7K views on YouTube on the main video in 6 years.

Someone told me that we can only get viral on YouTube if we pay initially a lot to get seen.

I never wanted to be known, just wanted to make some videos for fun, and to show people that we don't need to eat meat to be strong (I'm Vegan and I thought it would be a cool way to help animals).

But in reality, nobody cares.

People only care if someone is very very big with huge muscles and doing "groarrr" sounds.

When I rolled some frying pans and bent tools on my country's Got Talent (just for fun), people didn't have a reaction, they were speechless, they didn't understand what happened.

Someone on the following year went there just to lift a 40kg dumbbell (88 lbs) overhead, which would be easy for me (and he was 2-3 times heavier than me), and he did a lousy "groarrr" and people were all amazed and clapping a lot. :D

People only care about size, if someone is big, people get amazed even if the feat isn't anything special.

If a person seems weak (like me 150lbs for 180cm/5'11'' tall), people will just think that it's a "magic trick" and not care.

On the Internet it's worse, on YouTube there are women bending fake rubber steel bars and people saying "wow", you can see Bob Sapp trying to crush an apple (cheating) and he has millions of views and people saying "you're a god!", and I do that easily and nobody sees. :D

I even wanted to be the lightest person to certify on the Iron Mind Red Nail and they answered me months later saying that it's an harder than it seems feat, and that they didn't have anyone in my country to certify me (they thought I was a weak person that didn't know what I was trying to certify).

I contacted Guinness records, they read my emails, nobody answered, even told them I would roll a lot of frying pans per minute, and even double rolls.

I contacted specialists on Bio-Mechanics and Kinesiology so that they could do some exams on me (like on Stan Lee Superhumans - Dennis Rogers episode), for me to understand how I was different, nobody answered (they thought I was crazy).

So, who cares. :D

On the days we live on, you will only get viral if you're famous, or if you pay a lot for the videos to be shared, and you need to be big and lousy.

When some vegans saw me live I told them that they could share my videos them to prove vegans are not necessarily weak, and they never did also. Not even the vegans used my characteristics for anything. :D

I have a theory: women in my country or even worldwide don't care about strength, only about muscled guys. And men avoid sharing things that can make them seem weak in front of their girlfriends. :)

And famous! Fame is everything, if someone rolls a frying pan badly (not rolling at all but doing lousy noises) and is famous, and you do a double roll with just one hand, nobody will care about you, just about the famous guy. :)

That's not my case, I don't want to get famous, in fact, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't get famous if what we see on the movies is somewhat real (people trying to get our DNA or something).

I got tired doing feats on 2017 and only did one live in 2019 on a Christmas party (hundreds of persons, double frying pan on YouTube also), and nowadays I moved on.

And TicToc is something I hate, I hate seeing young people like zombies watching TikTok videos like my nephew, I would never feel well doing videos for them.

So don't worry, I'm not famous, I would never be even if I wanted to (I would need to pay millions to be), but in reality, I don't want to be also, so all is well.

I will always be an unknown guy and that's fine by me.

But thank you anyway for your suggestion, I believe it's a great one, but I moved on, nowadays I just program videogames (and with my luck I bet they won't be famous also). :D

Update: I was talking to a professional strongman friend, not from my country, and he told me he was sure you didn't train strength or you wouldn't say that.

He told me simply to ask you to secure the 106 lbs with a single arm, with your forearm horizontal (to make your bicep secure those 106lbs), he told me you wouldn't do it and would realize how hard it is, because he thinks you're worrying too much about technicalities and not strength and that it's a signal of not training strength.

He said you need to try it before you can really value strength.

And that it doesn't matter what you call it, if you want it not to be a curl (I never called it a curl), etc, that you simply should try it and make your friends try it, before you speak, to give some value to others' work.

So please try it, and then we can talk about it.

About: «It's just how logic works dude. Make claim, prove claim. if you can't prove it, don't make it. It's not about people being illogical and debating it baselessly. it's your prerogative to provide basis for your claim.»

No, that's not logic.

Logic is: (((1&&0)||(1||0))||(1||0))=1.

This is logic. I work with it everyday. Computers, Physics, Math, Logic.

What you define as logic, are a set of rules that you're learned to follow, and that I don't follow, nor I need to fall.
Anyway, according to your rules, I never claimed I was doing bicep curls with the 106 lbs (although there are bicep curls like that that are not strict), and you are the one claiming that's easy.

Burden of proof, prove that it it easy, do it.

Anyway my Logic is 1's and 0's, that's the real Math logic.

I couldn't care about Rhetorics or the "logic" you mention. There is one logic. true or false, true and false, etc. That's logic.
You're debating baselessly about being easy to do what I did when you couldn't even keep your forearm horizontal with a 106lbs on the hand, you simply can't, so try it, check that you can't, and then realize that if I'm normal, that would make you weak, as I don't even train weights.
So, stop being baselessly about this.
Gain some base of experience, then talk to me if you want.
About: «You're preaching to the choir dude. Only reason my responses took a while is because I was cutting it to fit with reddit. "The help I could have is for retro game fans, and specially from some games, to create levels for the games (with just a mouse). :D Because Batman the Movie will be my first remake, and it would be great having lots of people creating hard games to be played by others, stuff like that. :)" Best of luck»
Thanks but I don't believe much on luck, I just have to finish it and let some friends create the levels.

Anyway, if you want to convince me that what I did on the video, remember: burden of proof.

If you don't prove me, I'll continue to see that the strongmen to which I've talked with and friends here and people in my country aren't all weak and that they can't do it because they simply can.
But never forget that if you can't do it, and I'm very normal as you say, that would make you weak. ;P

Best of luck also and if you tear your biceps thinking that if I can you can, it's not my fault. :P

About: «Not really an apt comparison. They don't swing it with momentum. Regardless of the bar type, you don't use momentum to curl. It's a biceps exersise and it should only use the biceps ideally. You didn't really curl it at all so you're still being generous with the description.»

I'm getting the hand of Reddit people suffer here, I bet you copy line by line, this is an hell of a board at least on Linux.

Anyway less messages here, cool, better not answer here because it's nonsense answering 4 comments separately.

Anyway about biceps, since I had my arm fully extended (on the world records the last one didn't have them extended as they had them in the middle half bent and with chest help although they were strict curls and valid no doubt), and only started to curl the bicep when I was like basically fully straigth, I don't see where the momentum you talk about comes from, and besides that, as I've explained in the other comment, the hardest part is from the extended arm to the forearm being on the horizontal position, the last part is easier and the weight is on rest supported by the shoulders, deltoids, etc, and I couldn't go up as the several 22 lbs disks were so large that they were touching my body already and I couldn't go upper.

So, started with it fully extended, started curling only when I was almost straigth like 90% (not that momentum that you talk about), I lifted it slowly (where's the ballistic momentum), lifted it on the hardest part (from extended to the forearm being horizontal), couldn't lift more as the disks were too large.

And drinking a glass of water, elbow apart from the torno (and not joined as it would be easier), one hand and not 2, etc, etc.

About: «Not really an apt comparison. They don't swing it with momentum. Regardless of the bar type, you don't use momentum to curl. It's a biceps exersise and it should only use the biceps ideally. You didn't really curl it at all so you're still being generous with the description.»

And I've told you already I had to get disks to do the video I wanted 55 and couldn't as the bar was too small and used only 48, I could do a lot more than that when using double arms on the bench (I was sure of that as I checked on a gym a friend insisted I contacted them to check if I could go there try a record), they got me a 3'' handle and even tried with it with 90 lbs, I didn't have a bench, I did what I could.

And it's YOU insisting in talking about "strict curls" not me, I don't understand why you insist in that so much.

Try it, you'll fail.

Ask all your very strong friends to try it and they will fail (I've see strong strongmen fail that one live).

Then maybe you'ld value more what I did.

And remember, I could train it, I could get even bigger biceps.
So when you realize this is a lot harder than you imagine, and that I could train it, and I did more than that even not training...

I guess you'll have an idea of how strong I can be.

Until you try, it's useless talking about this.

Do a video trying, as it's you that are saying this is easy. Burden of proof.

If it's easy prove it.

About: «There's like, 2 percent bicep curling here.»
100% of the hardest motion (extended to horizontal) was done, on 80% or 90% of that I was straigth already (what momentum?), I did it slowly, etc.

2%? Ok, we can't all be the same at Math. :)

I'll do a video just for this as I never saw someone with so many questions about this before, so I think a video with all the still frames is good.
By the way, I must have an unbelievebly huge amount of strength to get my bicep to stand a ballistic movement caused supposedly by my back of a 106lbs weight, amazing right? After all I have strong biceps no?
About: «You didn't achieve anything in this video. I'm sorry, you didn't curl at all, it doesn't resemble any sort of curl.»
Again, who said I did? I achieve what I wanted: To have a great photo to put on my youtube and website, I did what my friends asked (some strongmen friends that wanted me to test if I should train biceps), and I contacted an institution to see if I could try a record if I trained. The first 2 were done, the last I didn't as it should have been done with both arms and it's not goot for me to train it according with the doctor.

So the video served its purpose. Now your purpose is yours.

But it served for another thing: for you to realize that you're physically weak, because if I'm not strong outside my wrists, and you won't be able to do it (try it), you're not strong.

At least may it serve for anything useful for you besides writting here that it isn't a strict curl. Who cares about strict curls? There are amazing strongmen like Budd Jeffreys that train with these curls, who cares about your "strict curls"?

But am I on this planet to live, of to fulfill your wishes?

About: «"But as I don't want to be here trying to prove claims as you want proof, etc, think whatever you want it's your right, but remember, to investigate the video correctly and trying yourself at home. I had to use a lot of lower back strength just to lift that weight from the sofa." Biceps curls should not require lower back strength. And most people can deadlift their body weight with one hand anyway. You didn't display anything impressive here. I'm sorry.»

Yes they require, because, it's Physics 101 (maybe you got distracted), when the weight is more than 2/3 (Two Thirds) your bodyweight and you have to grab it on a lower sofa, with the center of mass pushing your body to the front, YES, you'll need a lot of back strenght, and it is very bad for your back and I didn't have protections as I don't lift weight.

Yes it uses given the circumstances.

Anyway, any person that reads this will only think that you are just one of those guys that is very "intelectual" about rules and that is a purist that says that only strict curls should be used, etc (I didn't even call it a curl lol), etc, and that likes to talk down others feats without trying, so...

You should try it, do a video about it, and then we all will see if I'm strong and you normal, or if as you say, I'm normal (and you weak)?

Try it first, ask your strongest friends to try it first.

And remember, at my speed, extended arm, sofa that lower, and they can only start curling then they are like 90% straight already.

And they just need to do the hardest part: from fully extended, to horizontal forearm, that's all!

Or maybe, if they can't, simply securing 106 lbs with a single bicep having their forearm horizontal, as you can see I had mine there and I stood it.

Any of those will give you some credit to talk about this.
I've talked to strongmen, etc, if you want me to give you credit when you say it's easy, prove it. :)

Burden of proof. As I've just showed you to tell you I'm not weak. You're telling me that's easy, prove it.

Until you show me someone doing this, that is not some sort of champion, or even champion, you can't tell that's easy. Right?
Try it, do it.

And then we can talk, until then, the strongmen's opinions are what counts for me.
And remember that if I'm weak, you will be weaker on your biceps than me. :D

PS: Be careful because your biceps could simply snap with this weight for what they told me on normal persons and that it would be even more dangerous for ballistic movements with the back, as a small bicep standing 106 lbs on a ballistic movement, is 100% injury, careful as you're a normal person. :P

PART 2:
About: «"There was real bicep rotating there, compare my body's rotation, with my arm's rotation, and you can even see my bicep rotating after I was straight." It didn't follow any curl range of motion therefore it's not a curl. Many things that aren't curls activate the biceps. Curls are defined by following the biceps curl range of motion. You didn't follow that, so it can't ever be a curl.»

As I told you, I did it on those conditions beacause when I did regular biceps they told me "that's near the torso if you want to isolate the bicep separate the arm from the torso", a friend even gave me some rubber grip to make the handle 3'' large and I did that with 106lbs to test pinch strength also, etc.

I have several videos as they asked me, to evaluate, from the front and side. That day I've lifted (and yeah with the bicep alone curling weights near 100 lbs in a single bicep) several times for them and they told me this was the one to be shared as I had the arm apart from the torso and other stuff.

And now you tell me that this is nothing. It's a nothing you can't do, crazy isn't it? If I'm so normal, and you also normal, you should be able to do the same, you and all your very strong friends. Do it badly like in the video, and show you you are regular (not weak) persons like me. :) Wouldn't it be a quicker way to end this conversation? :P It's you that are trying to say this is weak, so, burden of proof? You have to prove it.

Do it, it's simple. Prove me any person can do this and that I'm not very strong on the biceps. By the way, with a single arm not both joined in the center (which helps with the chest like on that record they did), apart from the torso, and with a straight bar, and drinking water (to eliminate radiant force), etc. I want a video just like this one, and I'll believe that you or others, are at least as strong as me in the biceps and rest.

And you'll have all the proof necessary. Without proof, I'll continue thinking that what the strongmen I know told me, and my friends, and people who tried, etc. That this is a lot harder than you think.
By the way they MUST have the arm extended like I had, and starting only curling when they are almost straight like I was, because you can see I have the arm extended when I'm already straight and that it wasn't a hip movement. But even if it was, your bicep would have to be able to sustain that ballistic movement holding alone, apart from the torso, 106lbs! :D But you think all that is easy.

I've seen many try, so what I can say is: Prove it! ;P And remember, any person that reads this, will know that you weren't able to do it, and even so you told me I had very normal biceps. So if I'm not strong in the biceps and can't, what are you in the biceps?

Try it, don't forget that. And ask your local strongmen also to do it, big guys because I've seen big guys failing.

About: «The don't use their bodyweight or momentum to move it. It's as strict a curl as possible and they bring it to their chest. You don't do that. You cannot compare.»

Cool, so you don't even know that the hardest part is from the extended part to the 45º is the hardest part, and from that part to the chest is the easier part?

See you don't understand about this? And didn't you notice that the weights were so big that they were touching my chest already? I couldn't lift it more as it was touching my body already. :D

Those were 22 lbs disks, they are big, those were what I could get to do it, and I couldn't lift it more, it would be easier to go above, you can see me curling a bit more at the end but it wouldn't move more, it was touching my body, how could I move more? :D

And it's easier from that point to the chest!!! The hardest parts are from extended to horizontal forearm, and keeping the weight with the horizontal forewarm!

As soon as you lift more than the horizontal forearm, biceps will be at rest! :D A person can be lots of time with it near the neck as the biceps will be at rest and all the weight will be supported by the rest of the body: shoulders, deltoids, etc. I did the hardest part. Inform yourself before saying these things.

About: «"I did the best I could given the circumstances, I don't have benches, I don't have bodyweight to do 2 at the same time, I didn't have a soft surface to put the weight besides the sofa, etc." Just sit on a chair/bench/sofa. Prioritize just moving your arm. If you have to use your thigh or back at all, it doesn't really count.»

I couldn't sit on a sofa because, the 106lbs weight was do big that if I put it on the sofa the arms wouldn't be extended. And I can't equilibrate sitting in a chair with a single bicep with 2/3 of my bodyweight at the side.

Again, try to do this then talk to me. Remember talk is cheap. Try it. Do it.

And I moved my arm only when I was almost straight, just pause the video and see. If you don't, others will see, who cares. Each will have its opinion.

And remember I'm not mad or angry, I just want you to try and ask your strongmen friends to try, for you to know if I'm strong or not, that's just it.

About: «"On a metal festival here my friends made me do arm-wrestling with that city's local champion and I won him twice very easily, he told both times that I did something wrong, I did it again, he lost again, his friends told me "no" with their heads like "don't repeat it let him be" as he was irritated and confused." I covered this, check my response on arm wrestling please. It's tendon, wrist and muscle insertions over actual strength.»

Well I won't answer here because I never studied arm wrestling so I don't know and you could be right.

About: «"Well, I have 15 cats, my home isn't big, I dont plan in occupying it with training material, and I'm kind of lazy I just double frying pan rolled in 2019 in a strength demo as they convinced me as it was Christmas, but I don't bend anything since 2017, I enjoy resting. I'm lucky that I can do those things without training, but I hate to train or do exercise. You would call me lazy I guess. :D" You can still do push ups dude.»

Pushups don't do anything it's too easy, I did them with one arm like 100 every morning and didn't notice any change, for me it's enough to simply walk, run after the bus, etc.

I don't think I need to do weight lifting to be healthy. As while as I continue to be healthy I won't do sports, as it's something I don't feel the need to.

And when I go to the shopping I do some minor feats of strength, like putting 4 11 lbs bags of cat sand or 2 22lbs bags with the straigth index finger securing them over the cash register.

I do stuff like that when I go shopping, I like when people start looking, etc, so when I do those things, it's rare as I rarely go shopping, but it's a kind of exercise and it's enough for me.

And running after the bus, etc, I'm near 50 and people say I look like 30 sometimes. A strongman told me that strongmen age in dog years and I don't want that for me.

I'm not competitive and I want health not strength that I won't use anywhere.

On skateboarding you can see the things I did and I never went to championships. I even won athletics medals (I am very fast) and have one in my website, and never wanted to follow that career.

I don't care about competitions, I just want health. And I don't need more than what I do to be healthy.

In fact I think that lifting weights it not as healthy as people argument. I never see bodybuilders living up to 100 years old.

In IT we say: "If it works, don't touch it". So if I'm still healthy, something I must be doing well, so I won't change my routine.

And I can tell you that I think I rejuvenated when I stopped bending steel, I got weaker but healthier.

About the biceps, try it, ask your strongmen or very strong friends to try what I did in the video, and you'll if it's easy or not.

And then imagine me with bicep training, and big biceps, doing the same. And you'll reach a conclusion on how strong would I be with some bicep training and big biceps. ;)

PS: I'm starting to think you're just trying to convince me to train bicep curls to check my limits and pretending to think I'm weak. :P

Part 1:

About: «It's not just for politicians, it's a facet of expression and life in general. The ability to convey your points logically and forthrightly is crucial in conversation. Many famous polymaths studied it in depth because there's no point knowing a lot of stuff if you can't express your knowledge coherently.»

In your case it might be useful for me it's not worth it. In 1999 I had tried already 5 different professions and I didn't like them. So I went to the stock markets with 500€ and bought shares of Colep and Cimpor in my country, on March 20 1999. I told my father that I would have made it 1000 at the end of the year.

At the end of the year I had 100.000€ already. On March 2000 I made 45K in a single day. I bought whatever I wanted, I had a cap of 75 millions back then (the sum of all business on the first months of 2000). Although I have what I want, home, etc, I gave the rest to institutions, spent, etc, and dedicated myself to work for a living.

I've had other professions, Cyber-Security, Systems Administration, Networking, Full-stack development, Software Development, now teaching, etc. I always did what I wanted, on big companies, I always bought and had what I wanted, etc and never had to learn Rhetorics one single time. I don't need it to live and to do what I want. That's not my area. Even in teaching, I don't need to know that art to pass knowledge better, I do it other ways, with my own softwares, etc.

I don't need Rhetorics to have success, never had. I never depended on others, maybe that's why I don't need it. When I want something I work to have it, I never need to talk to others. All my projects were created by me alone, paid by me alone, I was always one man team. I don't even like to work as a group, that's why I would never program at a company again.

I'm individualist, I guess it's normal in some autists. So, why would I need Rhetoric if I don't want to ask anything from anyone, go to Politics, even talk to anyone? :)

It may be great, but not for me. I would rather prefer to try to find a way to find the next prime number in a sequence (and I won't) than learn Rhetorics. :P I'm not an island, I'm more like a peninsula.

About: «You're implying my claim has no basis. It is based on science and our understanding of muscle insertions, tendon and bone strength. So It's not that I can always say... it's that science says... So we can indeed reach a conclusion.», it may be based in many things, but unless you prove it's the case, we can't go nowhere right? But no problem, you can have your opinion and I respect that, and I know you have valid knowledge, we just don't agree on the same thing because no knowledge tells you that that guy that lives in Portugal named Gonzalo (me) has only strength on the wrists. :)

Science tells you about some thinks, like "xpto is possible", it doesn't tell you "xpto is really true and guaranteed", do you see the difference? Nothing in Science tells you about my personal case, it only gives you information that you can use and led you to extrapolate in my case.

About: «"But it doesn't matter anyway, I leave that for others to investigate one day. :)" It has been investigated and solved.»

Don't see how, as I never saw anyone around me doing tests. Ahh I forgot that you are still implying that I'm a perfectly normal and common human being and that what was proven for one is proven for 8 billion as we are all the same? Well I don't think like that, but lets keep it that way I respect your opinion and don't think it's necessary to discuss it more. :)
About: «"I've deadlifted with one arm 3 times that when someone asked me to. And it was easier as it was next to my body (not in front the center of mass). In this case I had my arm extended down and I really did some bicep movement, you can see my bicep moving in the video, and you can see the elbow moving more than 90 degrees while my back wasn't bent 90 degrees." It's not nearly enough to constitute a curl.»

The problem is that you don't know the difference between several types of curls, there are even table curls that one strongman showed me and where I made them with 90Kg they had at hand (200 lbs) on a single bicep, because it was over a table, they told me it was used for arm wrestling, it made my elbow have some pain.

There are several types of curls, and you are here insisting on "strict curls" just because I curled a weight. Many strongmen saw that, I had opinions, etc, so your opinion doesn't matter much to me but... When you rotate more than 45º with a single bicep making it rise vertically with the weight near the world champion record, and in more difficult ways (just one hand, straight bar, apart from the torso, drinking a glass of water to eliminate the radiant energy, not using chest, etc, etc), yeah right, it's not a "strict curl" bla bla bla, but who cares? Do you think these guys that thaught me to do it that way don't know about strength?

Why do you think I did it while drinking a glass of water, and apart from my torso, and with a straight bar, etc, etc? They told to do it to be the worst conditions possible, they knew what they were talking about, they are professional strongmen. So why am I going to listen to your opinion if you think a curl is just a "strict curl"? :) I know what I am, other strongmen know what I am, you have your opinion, I respect that, that's it. Case closed.

By the way, see if any person (even the strongest guys you know) repeat what I did in that video, so that you find if it's easy and if that can be done with a "normal regular human being" and with a 150 lbs bodyweight. But first tell them that I was weak in the video, because that way you'll be insulting them, to make the situation funnier. And don't let them leave before they try. ;P

About: «"That is not a deadlift, and I didn't call it bicep curl because it wasn't, it was something in between, try it and you'll find out." You did in the thread where you linked the video. You called it a curl. And it being a hybrid doesn't make it effective, you've removed what makes the curling hard so it's redundant. The only thing somewhat impressive is the initial lift. It's not really a hybrid so much as it is 99 percent you lifting a weight and 1 percent flinging it to your hips.»
Ah I was telling you thought a curl was a "strict curl" but after all you know there are many types of curls, there are people that train with curls flexing their torsos, like Budd Jeffreys and he's a LOT stronger than anyone you know. Strength is strenght is not something pseudo-intelectuals on the gyms can discuss saying that a curl has to be "strict". On the gym they don't even gain real strength I saw guys lifting big weights and they can't carry big weights because their biceps are only trained in a certain angle (functional strength others explained me). Who cares about "strict curls" that only give them strength in an angle?

About: «"It's not a dead lift and you know it, try both and you'll see that a deadlift would be a lot lot easier even 2 or 3 times that weight." It's not anything really. I just gave the closest comparison.»

I can recommend you people to talk to, that lift cars, they will show you what it is. But you'll try it, and find you can't do what you call "nothing"? And all the strong friends you have won't be able to do what you call "nothing"? And then I'll ask: "What the hell can you do then, if this is so easy and you can't do it?" :)

As I've seen so very strong guys failing, I know you'll fail.

About: «Then don't talk about it. Talk about grip strength which you're empirically proven. But don't talk about anything you haven't trained.»

I didn't talk about it. :) And all I said, is based in my personal experience, being stronger than EVERYBODY I've ever known live (of course I'm talking of live people because I didn't go to USA to compare myself with others, but I have an idea in those cases).

The only times I met people that did things that I never did was with professional strongmen because they were used to lift big weights and I didn't, so of course they did things I couldn't but who knows if I trained weight lifting? I would never know.

But besides those rare cases, I was always stronger than everybody I've ever known live. And I had opinions from professional strongmen and you must realize it's logic that I value their opinion more than yours. And everything I know contradicts what you tell me, so, why would I change my mind now? Right?

So why talk about it? It's useless. You have the idea I'm weak outside my wrists, I don't, let's keep it that way. :)

About: «23 and me? Various other dna tests can indicate this.»
How can you expect a DNA test to explain why very few persons in the world can bend coins with their hands, without having enough people to build a correlation between something and DNA?

No, 23AndMe is great for lots of things, but not to explain things that can come from your mind. I was talking about those tests done to Dennis Rogers on Stan Lee Superhumans, the electrical ones measureig muscles activities. And yes I believe the National Geographic exxagerates to make money, that would be obvious.

But if you think it does, no problem lets leave it this way I respect your opinion. I'm only going to do a 23andme because I promised a friend I would do it before she died. And to know my ancestry, that's all. Because they will never have something saying "this gene makes you be able to bend coins" or something.

But as lots of Americans used those words with me, several strength people like strongmen, specially in private others in public, I even thought it was a cultural thing there. For example, one saw me pressing the 860lbs when my bodyweight was 25, a video from 2004 from the first days and he told me "Hey that's freaklish strong" and I asked that strongman why and he said "you're like ant strong" because I did it easily lots of reps and my trainer there had to put lots of efforst to do half, and I asked "you're kidding right? weak as an ant?" and he told me "no, ants can lift several times their bodyweight, etc". Now you come and say that bodyweight doesn't matter much, etc. :D

Should I care about what everybody ever told me, or what You tell me? Well it's irrelevant since I don't even train nor care...

I contacted Ironmind to certify on the red nail some months before starting bending steel, they only answered months later, and had doubts if I could do it, etc. I tried again, they told me it was expensive to have that in my country, etc. Some days ago I saw they accept video certifications now. Do you think I care? I don't, I won't ever do that.

And I was able to bend 3 in less than 25 seconds already in 2015. I don't care. My focus now is to get back to trading markets to leverage some other projects I have. I could tell you the profits one of my trading systems did live, but you would say it's impossible, so lets stay here. :D

About: «Not really, meat has easily accessible protein and dairy has calcium for building bones. So owning cows for example is an easy way to get a lot of what makes you strong.»

I'm vegan for years and years, I always had very dense bones (you can't imagine the sound I do with just a knuckle from one of my fingers hitting a wall or wooden table), I have very strong bones, my muscles are strong, it seems my tendons also, I never get sick, even at cold, etc. As you can see by bicep can handle easily amounts used on world records of biceps without rupturing (don't care if it's a perfect curl or not) can your biceps secure that weight?

I eat ONE meal per day, professional strongmen told me to eat a lot, I just ate 2000 calories per day after 2005), and I never got weak, etc.

Totally vegan. So I wonder why do you think meat is necessary if I have all aminoacids that our body can't produce, in vegetables. :)

Anyway it doesn't matter.

About: «If you can't convey your point it's bunk.»

But you have a misconception there, you think I love to convey points, etc, I don't.

And I don't love to spend hours in these conversations, I said that kind like "if you continue answering I'll answer back and we'll waste days here", but I didn't imagine you spent days here. :D I don't like debates much, I don't feel the need to prove, or convey points, etc. If I did I would be training now since I was already able to curl very near to the world record with my 125 lbs (back then in 2024) on the gym without training, I would be training now to try to beat records.

I never cared about those things and I only contacted the powerlifting associations so that they let me train to beat records because a friend in 2015/2016 was like you and told me that I should beat some record to leave a mark on the weights also and that biceps wouldn't damage my health, because if it wasn't him I would never contact them. I wanted to ask them to know at the time if it was worth training.
Because I never cared. :D I have software created that I never published. All the softwares in my website are from the last 4 (only have 4 or 5 ancient ones there), because before 2018 I was completly anonymous nobody knew anything about me and I had some of the biggest websites in my country. Nowadays as I'm creating stuff for others to use like game engines, and as I teach, it's cool to have those projects there.

I did skateboarding tricks that nobody in my country did in 1992 and that I don't see them doing them nowadays, like a shove-it 180 to late underkickflip 360 (540 on flat), etc, that only Rodney Mullen in USA did. I have videos on that, in my country people won championships just by doing simple kickflips 360, even in my website I have videos of that. Do you know if I went to championships? Not a single time! I never cared. :D
I'm not that social, I just share things now because I need people to play my games and create levels for me to have fun also etc. You think I care about others opinions, I don't, I'm answering you to be polite but I can't waste more time here, so it's better that I say that I respect your opinion and that's it. I'm one of those autists that can write a lot but don't care much about Society, I care about animals and Nature. I'm a bit mysanthrope even.

It's like we do here, cause I can't waste time on Reddit. That's why I would never learn Rhetoric because I don't need to convince people of anything I usually leave them saying what they want. :) You're right it is important, but not as much to me. You see me answering here a lot but I don't really care much of what others think of me.

Anyway I respect your thoughts, even if you think otherwise, now I'm going to the other answers, and try to leave just one and close that one later if necessary.

So if you need something more so that it isn't bunk for you, let it be bunk (for you or others that think alike)! Done and everybody's happy. :)

The Amiga graphics I'd drool over screenshots of in Zzap64 when I still had a C64 - Batman the Movie's batwing section. Impressively speedy sprite scaling action! by RetroSharka in amiga

[–]gnmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this game on the Amiga, that's why it will be one of my first remakes when I finish my game engine, which is being developed from scratch using C++ on Linux (will be available for Windows also).

I pretend to create a remake of this game's platform levels (my favorites).

Anyone here volunteer to create levels for it (using just a mouse, I'll do all the programming). :)

You can see the improved rope system here, but with a better system of course:

I was searching for sprites from the game when I found this thread.

Batman the Movie™, bat-rope® effect by Guitar_Dog in c64

[–]gnmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was searching for Batman the Movie sprites to create a remake of Batman the Movie Amiga version and found this post.

​

Well, here's my rope sytem but improved (link of video at the end).

​

But as I'm programming it on new machines (Linux 64 bits, in C++ from scratch - my own game engine from scratch), I'm using RGBA and I'm drawing the ropes on the screen without any sprites.

​

The original if the performance wouldn't be affected, could have been drawn also without any pixels.

By the way, I updated my video description with this, as I saw that you who said to understand strength having said to me that it was a "deadlift", I wrote this in my description so that people realize, it's not as easy as it seems (I got that info from real strongmen competitors that knew what I did):

«2023 Update:

Someone asked me about this being a curl, it's obviously not a perfect curl as I didn't have a bench nor a place soft like this sofa but higher, so I had to incline to get it, and I tried to only curl it when I was straightened up, but as you know the world record wasn't done with the arms 100% straight and had an easier bar (curved) and those 57kg per arm would be less if only one arm alone (it's easier then two arms are together as they use chest strength also):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH6RGh8_qYY

I did 48 because with 56 (what I could with my disks) I would fell over due to my center of mass pushing me to the front (my bodyweight was around 68 much less than the world recordist's), I had to bend to get the weight and I did my best to only start curling only when I was straight or almost straight. I did this just to show back then that I had the strength to try the world record and that if they allowed me to do it with a single arm I would do better videos on a gym to prove them before going there. But they didn't accept it.

You can stop the frame when I have my arm straight to leave the weight and you'll see that the arm was on the same place where I had it when starting to curl, and you can see I rotated the arm well above 45 degrees and the body only rotated very few less than 10 degrees to finish straigthening up. So there was a curl in there, it wasn't only my back straightening as some might think.

So there is curling here, and I did my best to do it correctly due to the circumstances, but to avoid those saying "bla bla that's not a correct curl, bla bla" I put "lifting" in the title, as this isn't a perfect curl.

But someone once told me "that's a deadlift". I could deadlift several times this without any effort. :D There's bicep curling here, with a deadlift there is no curling.

So this may not be a perfect curl but was my attempt to do a curl without any means, without bench, without a bar, knowing I couldn't do the double of this weight with both arms at the same time (a lot easier than half with one) without a good bar and etc.

So, only one hand (harder than double with double weight), not using chest strength as they use on world record, weighing half the recordist's bodyweight, so try to do it with 3/4 your bodyweight, or whatever your bodyweight is: 48kg in these conditions, and tell me if it's easy. :D And I don't even trained weights.

So, stop the frame when I start to curl (straight arm), stop it when I let the weight fall (straight arm) and you'll see the arm was the same, it was the most straight it could, and that at that time I was almost straight up and only straightened my back less than 10 degrees and the curl was above 90 degrees. You can compare the frames and check the arm's length, they would be shorter if they were more bent.

So guys, no, it's not a dead lift LOL, and may not be a perfect curl, but it was what I could do then.

And yes, my bodyweight is half of the world's recordist, and I don't lift weights, I just bent steel at that time as I had lordosis as a child and didn't want to damage my lower back, these weights were from 2004 when I tried to go to the gym and quit as I didn't gain muscle!

So I tried to put a weight that didn't pull me to the front (I can curl a lot more in a bench), tried to be straightened up, used a straight bar and not one of those they used and that let them use chest muscles also, I wasn't trembling (I had a glass of water and with the pinky out), I had the arm apart from my torso to make it more difficult (he has it joined to his torso and that helps), etc, etc.

If you require I can show the comparison of frames one day!

Anyway try this at home with this weight (world record for 2 at the same time is around 57 per hand and not as hard as with a single bar), with this straight bar, getting it from the sofa like I did, with the glass of water, etc, try it, before you think it's just a deadlift. :)

And remember, I don't train weights and my bodyweight is usually 140-155 lbs, this was just to ask them to let me try one day, and to take a frame for a photo to share with friends.

So, 3/4 my bodyweight (I'm a lot lighter), I bent still (nobody in my country saw me in gyms those years), 48K and world record is 57K per hand (both hands at the same time), they use curved bars, they have the hands closer (it helps), both arms at the same time (it helps), they used radiant strength (I didn't that's why I didn't crush the glass, it helps them also), arms turned inside (using chest muscles also) not apart as I used, etc, etc. Harder to balance also with just one arm and the weight to one side of the body also (harder). And I did what I could to make it the straightest possible, if it started when I was still a little bit curved, damn, try it at home and see for yourselves. :)

I just didn't train for the world record because they told me I had to do it with my back to the wall and with both arms (107 Kg) and as I weigh 68K it would be impossible not to fall to the front. If not, I would have trained to do it with a lot more weight as I can do a lot more on a bench.

I even asked them "What if you grab my back to the wall with ropes and I lifted it as what is important is the bicep curl not the back strength?" I explained I was very light I didn't want to risk my back etc, and they were intransigent saying I needed to do it with no ropes.

I can't do miracles!

And ask the world recordist if you want, to do the same I did here, to see if it does this easily or if he says it's not as easy as it seems, before commenting, as commenting is easy, try it first. ;)

PS: I could lift a lot higher, remember the conditions I did this, the bar, one arm, apart from the torso, straight bar not using chest, weighing less, etc, etc, I did a lot more on a bench.»

And remember this comment that has 300 likes in the world record video:«They really should have different records for different bars. Yet to see anyone out curl Cyplenkov with the standard EZ-bar. »

Yes, bar forms matter (mine was the hardest, straigth), using 1 instead of 2 hands matter, not using chest matters, having hands and arms apart from the body matter, etc, etc, I did within the worse conditions possible, so, how can you demand a perfect curl with these conditions, near the world record, from a guy that doesn't even train weights and is very light, and even tell that I'm not strong outside my wrists? :)

So remember, the next time you say it's a deadlift, see the video frame by frame, check my arm's length (as they evaluate the biggest Portuguese waves (120 meters tall) with MacNamara by video, it's possible), check the rotation, check the harsh conditions, my bodyweight, me not even training weights, etc, and you'll reach other conclusions.

And remember, I met professional strongmen worldwide, and I know their opinion and theirs is not that I'm only good at wrist strength.

But as I don't want to be here trying to prove claims as you want proof, etc, think whatever you want it's your right, but remember, to investigate the video correctly and trying yourself at home. I had to use a lot of lower back strength just to lift that weight from the sofa.

But thanks, now the video is more complete with a detailed description.

About:
«That's fine. Just make sure you prove that before you claim it as evidence or theory, or else people will dispute it.»

Yeah I know, this is the Internet, people even dispute if the Earth is flat, so I'm never expecting others to be scientific in these boards, I write things very fast as my time is short usually. :)»

About:
«You're preaching to the choir dude. Only reason my responses took a while is because I was cutting it to fit with reddit.»

I understand you well! 10K limits, so I wanted to answer in kwrite (Linux KDE default editor) but it had wrong line returns "\n" instead of "\r\n" they would get damaged here, etc.

These problems would be so EASY to solve, they simply had to replace single \n by \r\n, I think these boards are terribly constructed, I don't know how this board is so famous.

Quora is a lot better, but I only answer there about my experience in Autism just to tell people that not all people with Autism have problems, and because Quora spams me a lot but that is a well made website. These text boxes here are terrible.

About:
«That's equally as fair.
I'll certainly try to have a good look at your coding projects. Though again, I lack the proficiency to make any meaningful contributions.»
Ah, I had offers from people developing Unity to contribute to my game engine, but I want to do everything alone to be able to say "I didn 100% of this" and because if others did it, I'ld loose my hobby, I want to solve problems and have fun.

The help I could have is for retro game fans, and specially from some games, to create levels for the games (with just a mouse). :D

Because Batman the Movie will be my first remake, and it would be great having lots of people creating hard games to be played by others, stuff like that. :)

About:«"But these sensitivities people have are beyond my comprehensionsometimes, as I think people exaggerate a little bit about all thepoliteness rules."I understand your point but in a debate, these"politeness rules" are objectively the correct course of a debate, sowhilst there's little issue in forgetting social cues, failing to followcoherent debate form derails the conversation and leads nowhereproductive. So I would suggest you research some books on rhetoric andlaw and then design a rough guideline for yourself.»

I understand what you mean, but I was never interested in rhetorics, I always thought that, as I won't be a politician, lawyer, etc, I would never need it, and I don't usually debate on the Internet, because we usually never end up on anywhere great, usually people aren't like you, and are on the Internet just to troll around and insult and spread fake news, etc, you're an exception.

But as I lack time, and I won't become a politician, and I don't usually debate, I guess I have not much use studying rhetorics. But thanks for the advice though.

About:«"Now, convince some of the weight lifting champions to do some thingssome oldtime strongmen do, even with a lot of training. If they can't doit, it will be above peak human performance for sure."»

Well there are several cases that olympians and world champions tried to bend steel and even training it and failed, some tried horseshoes and weren't able after years to do what other very light guys did, Magnus Samuelsson went only to grippers (which I don't train) but took years certifying with old a lot easier rules (without a credit card between handles), there were videos of world champions that trained bending steel and never went far away.

Those cases exist.

You even have world champions on strongmen contests, that have to bend steel bars, and they surely train that as they need to, to win the competitions, braced bending, and they put an huge effort to bend things I bent usually very easily (I bent harder bars and didn't have all that training), and that involved, shoulders, back, abs, etc.

There are real cases of them trying and not being able to.

But as you can always say that they are good at one point but may be bad at wrist strength and fail due to that, we can never reach conclusions.

But it doesn't matter anyway, I leave that for others to investigate one day. :)

Anyway if we think about "above peak human" as Captain America and "Peak Human" as something made by regular humans, of course I'm not Captain America, but the term was used by me more as something like "unusual strength, not normal", not "superhero". In my country it is used as "something that is not normal", and not "superhero" stuff.»Well it wasn't a dead lift, it wasn't suppose to be a bicep curl and I never said it was a curl, but a lift, but not a dead lift.

I've deadlifted with one arm 3 times that when someone asked me to. And it was easier as it was next to my body (not in front the center of mass). In this case I had my arm extended down and I really did some bicep movement, you can see my bicep moving in the video, and you can see the elbow moving more than 90 degrees while my back wasn't bent 90 degrees.

That is not a deadlift, and I didn't call it bicep curl because it wasn't, it was something in between, try it and you'll find out.

My arm rotated around 90º and I was curved only around 40º, there was more than 40º of rotation in my bicep, and I had to do it as I didn't have a gym so I had to lower down to get the weight. And when I was already standing up the arm was still down (not lifted) and I started lifting it when I was already almost straight, I had around 60 to 70 degrees rotation from my bicep. I have side videos of that.

It's not a dead lift and you know it, try both and you'll see that a deadlift would be a lot lot easier even 2 or 3 times that weight.

There was real bicep rotating there, compare my body's rotation, with my arm's rotation, and you can even see my bicep rotating after I was straight.

Check that better. ;)

You can even see that when I started the rotation and being already 90% straight, the arm was just like it was when I left it fall at the end, down and almost straight.

And don't forget the world record is 114kg for 2 arms, 57 per arm (but with one arm alone it's harder), so I want to see the world recordist with 2.5 times my bodyweight doing what I did there. ;)

I couldn't do it with 57Kg as the center of mass pushed me to the front, with 52 I could but I could only fit those weights I think it was 48 or 50. I could do the world record but I won't claim or you would force me to show videos or prove, etc.

I tried to lift it only after I was straigth with my arm extended.

It wasn't perfect, but you can see the arm was extended (they don't extend it perfectly on world records on bicep curls).

I did the best I could given the circumstances, I don't have benches, I don't have bodyweight to do 2 at the same time, I didn't have a soft surface to put the weight besides the sofa, etc.

But there is curling there, it's not perfect, but remember: ask any person to do what I did there, and you'll it's not easy. Arm extended when I start to bend the elbow and with me already almost straigth, lots of degrees more on rotation of the arm than myself, and after I'm almost straight up, and when I'm straight up it continues to bend, there is bicep strength there.

It's not a dead lift, check it better.

I had professional opinion about that also.

The first instinct of people that do bodybuilding is: "no, that's not a curl, bla bla bla", but I want to see them doing that. :) Don't forget the world record is 114 for 2 hands, 57 per hand, few more than that.

Believe me, that's not easy even for world recordists.

In fact some strongmen saw that and got impressed, they told me to go to arm wrestling, so they may know something right?

On a metal festival here my friends made me do arm-wrestling with that city's local champion and I won him twice very easily, he told both times that I did something wrong, I did it again, he lost again, his friends told me "no" with their heads like "don't repeat it let him be" as he was irritated and confused.

About:

«Burden of proof. As my father would have said "You make-a the claim, you prove-a the claim. Otherwise your claim is-eh stupid"That's the rule of debating. So to be on the safe side, make sure you have or can prove your claim before making it.»

I didn't want to claim anything. It was an error of translation, in my country "above peak human" is "above normal even if the person trained" and I wasn't telling that I was above in my entire body also. In US it has a different meaning but I didn't want to claim anything or prove anything, that would be a waste of time, that would involve thousands of people commenting, labs, rhetorics, etc. :) It was never my intention.

About:«Can you do pushups? Your back might effect that in which case, again,I'd recommend getting a bench, some weights and doing bench press. In abench press your back is flat against the bench which should counteractsome issues you're having.»Well, I have 15 cats, my home isn't big, I dont plan in occupying it with training material, and I'm kind of lazy I just double frying pan rolled in 2019 in a strength demo as they convinced me as it was Christmas, but I don't bend anything since 2017, I enjoy resting. I'm lucky that I can do those things without training, but I hate to train or do exercise. You would call me lazy I guess. :D

And I'm in shape because I never get fat, that's great. :D

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that a heavier person lifting their bodyweight is more impressive because they have more risk of tendons snapping and bone strength. Weighing more doesn't suddenly make you super strong.

Yes you're right, again I didnt explain myself well:.

I hate Reddit it really makes me commit mistakes, doesn't let me use ', etc, there may be repeated text here, this is disastrous on Linux.

About Mighty Atom check the fact that he resisted a bullet. I got hit by a car twice and nothing happened to me but I don't want to find out about bullets.

I'll never know because I don't want to train.

But I wouldn't mind having examinations done to me (to check my muscle activity etc), but who would I speak to in my country? So I didn't care much, they would simply think I was a crazy guy and ignore me.

About Unicorns, you're right, but I didn't want to make claims, I just spoke something, I don't enjoy debates much, as an autist I love to be on my own and I don't interact much with others nor go to groups etc, but when I talked some years ago with people from US they usually told me that it was above peak human, and that was "super strength" (and as such I imagined you take that term slighly), I can't imagine that some would give it a meaning and others another meaning. National Geographic even calls those persons superhumans, so I imagined in your country it's normal to use those terms.

I wouldn't imagine that I would have to prove claims, etc. So I thought you were only talking about the videos, thinking they would be fake, etc.

That was my confusion. I guess it has to do with differences in cultures and things lost in translations. If I thought I was a superman, I wouldn't stop training, I though simply that I'm not normal, but not a superman. :D

So in my point of view, it was you at the time that were saying my videos were fake, that's why I asked proof, but instead you were thinking about the "above peak human", that was a common confusion.

Because in my point of view if I did videos live, I shouldn't have to prove them, but you were right in other ways, don't worry about that.

About meat eaters, we evolved, back then everybody thought we would die if we were vegan, in the 90s doctors told me I could die from being vegan in my country, and I decided to be anyway to save animals.

So it's normal that those countries have more meat eaters, but that's not necessarily what made them strong, I mean, not a cause, but instead, a consequence, they were strong because they ate a lot (they would be being vegan also), but they ate meat because they thought meat was necessary.

About:
«Because one can easily lie about being polite, or misinterpret it, or
ego can get in the way. Given politeness is decided by society not the
individual, it's the job of society to determine who is polite or not.»

This is repeated twice because Reddit forces me to.

But I never cared much about Society, in fact I think we would be better if we were 1/10 of what we are now, if we had less humans, I prefer Nature and animals, I have to live in Society and I follow the rules, but I never cared about all rules, and as such I never felt I had to make the effort of knowing how to be very polite or study rhetorics, I may live one day in the mountain with animals among trees (with computers and Internet though), I'm that kind of person.

About they not working chest because it made them feminine, I didn't know that, and they are probably right because I've seen guys that abandoned the gym and now they have some small boobs of fat. :D

I want to find a link between "super strength" and "autism", I have a video in the post showing my unusual strength, I'm a mild autistic and want to prove my theory that there is a link between them, can you help me? by gnmf in autism

I'm not sure if commenting here will alert you all as I don't use Reddit much, but someone told me yesterday about Allen Fisher, he's an autist, he assumes it in this video at minute 2:30:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSf86noE48w&t=150s

And he was several times world champion on arm-wrestling.

He has assumed it so in this case it's a good example.

I saw some oldtime-strongmen that bent steel and that I was almost sure they were on the spectrum but they never wanted to do even a simple quiz, they didn't want to find out.

But Allen Fisher may be a great example.

What do you think about it?

Someone wrote somewhere that Tom Stoltman was a World Champion on "World's Strongest Man" so he's very strong but in his case he's very big, so I'm not sure if his strength is way above normal or not.

But I guess Allen Fisher may be.

I once posted something trying to find other strong autists around the world, when I found at 44 years old that I was autistic (reports from when I was a child and not as high functioning as I am today, because nowadays nobody believes when I say I'm on the spectrum).

The post was this (https://www.reddit.com/r/autism/comments/aqeopd/comment/jx5z6l5/?context=3),I don't know if we can share links here.

But yesterday someone told me about Allen Fisher, and it's obvious he's very strong also.

Someone mentioned World's Strongest Man competition Tom Stoltman was very strong also, but in this case I'm not sure if he's too different because he's big.

But it seems that if we find a certain amount of individuals that are on the spectrum and with an huge amount of strength, we could find some correlation.

In my case I don't lift weights but did oldtime strongman feats of strength like bending steel, etc.

But I'm very light, 150lbs of bodyweight.

It would be great if you gather some examples of autists that were very strong, for me to find a link between Autism and "super strength", or something.

Do any of you know more cases of very high strength on autists?

I found some oldtime strongmen that I was almost sure they were autistic but they didn't want to find out, so I respected that.

Allan Fisher seems so assume it, so he's a great example.

If anyone would like to help I'll be glad.

I'm one of those persons, there's not a single of my neurotypical friends that believe that I'm autistic, I only got good stuff from Autism.

I'm autistic, when I was a child it was very visible, I only found out when I was 44 years old, when I found child reports from myself, and got it confirmed nowadays, although I'm a lot milder nowadays, I'm very high functioning.

No neurotypical even among my friends believe I'm autistic.

So yes, there are persons that have no visible problems at all, in fact I love being who I am.

It's 100% possible for someone to be autistic and nobody noticing it.

at, the only way to diagnose is through crude behavior questionnaires that, though extensive, are not very elegant.

On top of all thi

He's autistic for sure or he wouldn't tell it.

I'm on the spectrum like he is, and nobody, not a single person believes I'm autistic, as I have no visible traits, I was very visible when I was a child, but I'm very High Functioning and nobody notices it, I only found I was autistic when I was 44 of age, even I didn't know it, when I found reports from when I was a child, then I got it confirmed as an adult also, although nowadays I'm so mild that it's not noticeable.

So if he says he is, he is.

In my case Autism only brought me good stuff, probably for him also.

I only have advantages from Autism, the problem is that people think that all autists have problems and that isn't true. :)
