Someone Points Out That Humans Are Capable Of Hysterical Strength And People Share Stories
Tumblr is a bubbling pot of content, varying from endless text posts of different assortment to hilarious (or at times offensive) memes to millions of photos. You can find almost anything you’re looking for, although might come across something that you never even wanted to see. And while posts on that social media platform can swing from one extreme to another, it is no secret that there are times where people unite to create something great. Weave words into a strong message or create a funny story out of a single hint.
Well, one user followed the example of hundreds before them and created a funny fictional conversation between a human and an alien. The exchange focuses on one aspect of humans that the extraterrestrial friend seems to be completely flabbergasted by – human strength.
One Tumblr user decided to creatively share how human strength works in a fictional exchange between a human and an alien

What the original author is referring to in the funny exchange is actually called hysterical strength. It’s a phenomenon where people exhibit extreme strength, far beyond what is regarded as normal. It usually occurs in life-and-death situations, like mothers lifting cars to save their children or people fighting off wild animals.
While the feat itself is quite fascinating and might remind one of all the superheroes on TV, it is also a good reminder that humans have their limits, after all. Hysterical strength can result in serious damage to one’s body from excertion.
Here’s what people had to say in response to the original post

Share on FacebookAs a kid I got stuck between elevator doors and the elevator shaft. My dad (50 year old chubby dude) separated the lift from the shaft by hand to create enough space to pull me out. I had nothing, he split an eye by the immense pressure his body gave. His eye was replaced by a prostatic.
whats up with everyone calling this stuff boring/lame? Fighting polar bears isn't somthing most people would consider "lame"
It's "lame" because polar bear fights happen so often here in Florida that nobody even notices them any more.
Load More Replies...A guy near me was on he news because a cougar attacked him while hiking and he FREAKING STRANGLED IT TO DEATH
I know the feeling, I opened one of those child proof tylenol containers once
no one's going to comment on the guy who got stabbed while his younger brother broke a pickle jar? Did the pickle jar stab him? was it an intruder? I need more information.
I was wondering that too. Maybe he accidentally did it, sounds like two kids in the kitchen unsupervised.

In 7th grade we watched a documentary on muscles and how incredible they are. One story was about a guy who was rock climbing with his friend and suddenly he lost his balance, tried to grab onto a rock but the rock broke and then he’s on the ground (a wide ledge only a couple of feet below him). Somehow he manages to use his arms and lift this giant rock (that weighed something like half a ton) just above his ribs so it wouldn’t crish them, but at the same time he was sliding down toward a several hundred foot drop. He managed to throw the rock over the cliff and not fall, but he got severe injuries in his arm muscles.
After all this time now I know the reason why this boulder fall. giphy-5c61...f58722.gif
The pangs felt during childbirth can also be associated.A mother gives birth to her child with such pain that it is equal to many bones breaking simultaneously..but..she survives and recovers...
