the partner and i both tried it.

the ambulance is on the way

They fully spec the buff duration increase and put more in Endurance stats.

Pffft, when things go wrong with my computer I can swear for an hour straight trying to solve the problem. And then continue after a break.

Any vowel is permitted - so fack, feck, fick, fock, fuck and controversially fyck are all valid.

[Edit] International readers should feel free to say fåck, fæck, féck, fîck, fõck, fœck, fück etc

Maybe it's just RegEx. 0 or more "F"s allowed. e.g. CK, FCK, FFCK, ...

+1 shitty superpower ideas
I should really start writing them down at this point.

My thoughts exactly.

My other thoughts were, every time I see corporate BS in my company am I better off ignoring or swearing.

Now I have inspiration for what to do.

I wonder if it's really the swearing. It would be interesting to compare to nonverbal grunting or groaning around the same intensity. Something similarly emotive and forceful but without the underlying language meaning.

33

The root is heightened aggression/anger levels i would guess. Same thing with boxers and power lifters slapping the shit out of themselves before a fight/competition. Anything that gets your blood pumping and adrenaline levels up.

I would hope the 'neutral word' was said at the same volume/rate/tone. Otherwise, yeah, it would definitely be a factor. Just like we can make ourselves angry with our thoughts, there must be a large difference in adrenaline released depending on how you emote.

It's been observed that swearwords engage particular parts of the brain aside from the speech centers, and influence emotions pretty much on the hardware level. Which is probably related to how all the ‘motherfuckers’ help Samuel L. Jackson not stutter.

Imagine the jar you can't open is the swear jar and you yell out FUCK and put a dollar through the slot and try to open it and then yell FUUUUUUCK and then put in another dollar...

The payoff will be HUGE, especially as you keep adding 10% grip strength with every swear.

Assuming an initial grip strength of 100kg[0]:

  • After 10 swears, you've more than doubled your initial strength (100 * (1.1^10) kg = 260kg)
  • After 20 swears, you're gripping a grand piano
  • After 50 swears, you're gripping a fully grown adult African elephant
  • After 100 swears, you're gripping the Statue of Liberty
  • After 500 swears, you're gripping the planet Mercury

I remember a Mythbusters episode where they proved that cursing also helps alleviate pain.

So it boosts STR, does it also boost INT? Maybe it debuffs WIS?

It boosts DEX and STR for your next fight action and/or gives a +1 to your next saving throw, but only if you’re at least two levels in Barbarian.

Also exhale just as you do it. 👍 Learned that the other day from that maths professor whose name escapes me just now. Redhead, adorable, red nails always. YouTube, Instagram, she's on all of it.

It's part of ki. Uniting your breath and your movements is actually huge - the other part is moving your muscle groups in unison

The two things combined give you an absurd effective strength multiplier

Sport climber here. "Power Screaming" is a well- known technique to boost power during individual hard moves. Adam Ondra is famous for his strategic screaming, see his ascent of Silence. I regularly use it myself to increase core and grip strength.

Swears are MMORPG buffing spells. Let them all rip simultaneously for burst and maximize jar DPS.

Fuck, shit, cock, ass, titties, boner, bitch, muff, pussy, cunt, butthole, Barbra Streisand!

So swearing is the natural human booster and it is scientifically demonstrated?

5

I find that Yosemite Sam-style incoherent muttering of curses throughout the pickle-jar opening helps a lot.

4

Fuck yea! ^+ 8 grip strength^

I have a goddammned motherfucking super power, bitch! ^degreelessnes mode on^

last one is that item you know is good but don't really want to figure out what to use it with to get the most out of those stat boosts

I was wondering how this will have any effect on the Programm you are going to run. Had to go to the comments to find out it's not about that kind of jar
