During exams my university would drag an old car into the middle of the campus, and students were allowed to beat it to a pulp for $5. They'd give you a bat and you could just smash it to pieces.

10/10, would smash again.

And use the money to buy another one for the next round?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Some places might just let you take the car if you can pay to haul it away

A portable rage room love it

$5 is so little though.

I remember used cars being like $500 before the pandemic. Pretty sure the cost of used cars tripled by then.

Pretty sure you use a dead car for that kind of stuff, the valuable pieces can be gone already and it's okay

When I was on the fire department (late 2000s) we bought cars for like $75 each to practice disassembling, I assume from the junkyard. I bet the price hasn't changed too much.

I'd smash that.

My old campus had a huge Canada geese problem, their aggressive breeding season coincided with spring exams. People would get out of exams and then charge the flocks of angry defensive geese. Leads to a few stitches and at least one broken arm.

I can tell you have never interacted with an angry Canada Goose.

We have them but they are shy and run from people. One hissed at me like a cat when I got too close.

Sounds like free cafeteria food if you ask me.

I've never seen them act up near campuses before. In my experience, the more aggressive ones have always been the ones near water.

Geese

Japan has a game where Dad flips the table over onto his family. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cho_Chabudai_Gaeshi)

Masturbation with autoerotic asphyxiation.

I hear passing out and dying from it is really relaxing. I'm looking at you David Carradine.

Ah, the funky Spiderman.

Not sure if I'd agree, but many have called it weird. Online voodoo dolls. You could make a replica of someone and do things to it. Consider it like ArtFight's weird younger sibling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Definitely weird… but kind of cool

Not sure why you’re downvoted. The question is not what your favorite stress relief is. It’s about weird ones you’ve heard of. Abusing the homeless is definitely pretty high on weird (and completely shitty) way to stress relief.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It’s fine. I like to remind people the homeless still exist and can be solved anytime. People don’t like to think about it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

How is that stress relief. That's just being a piece of shit.
