As if the average American whale could suplex someone
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say some fat people may surprise you with their strength. They throw around more weight quite often, it’s stamina that’s lacking. A single, forceful attack is believable to me.
They have to catch you first.
Tried running away from my house one time when I was about 12, my stepfather was 400+lbs and closed the distance to my flat-out 90lbs pretty damn quick. Only got as far as ~20 metres. Fast as a hippo
Reminds me of the fat guy from In Bruge
a fat American could probably do it to a skinny person if they’re really mad. their leg muscles are insane
I’m a fat American, I can confirm all my strength is in my legs
There’s a percentage of my fellow Americans who have been waiting for the opportunity to be placed in a self defense situation.
It’s a tragedy. Oh God.
As someone that experienced childhood abuse and now deals with anger management issues, I ‘agree’ with the average American on the point that “violence solves all problems”/violence is the go-to tool and not the last resort… It’s not right though!

Edit: noticed the first map is from 2018. Here is more recent one:
It gets much worse when you look at the outliers. 9.4% of the US had severe obesity (BMI>40) in 2023.
The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are around 1%, I couldn’t even find a number for France that was more than “<1%”.
Honestly better stats for the US than I thought they’d be. Surprised that my state’s obesity rates are better than any number of European countries despite the situation here still not seeming great.
Wondering if that is an endorsement of things my state is doing right or an indictment of the countries in Europe that are somehow worse.
Note that this Obesity (BMI over 30). 76% of the US is overweight (BMI over 25)…
