No; it takes more than four muscles to slap someone. I mean seriously?

edit; just fucking google muscles of your arm and forearm; there are a fuckload in the forearm. And also you would be recruiting muscles in the shoulder region and upper back as well.

[–]alsausi 25 points26 points ago

Not to mention the fact that most people would use their core and therefore their leg muscles.

[–]lukass4grass 7 points8 points ago

the fingers man, the fingers.

[–]nathan_walk687 0 points1 point ago

Pectoral, deltoid, bicep, and forarm flexor. Four.

[–]arkaili 0 points1 point ago

There are two pectorals and multiple forearm flexors. Not to mention the muscles recruited from the other parts of your body.

[–]nathan_walk687 0 points1 point ago

But you only use one pectoral at a time to slap one arm.

[–]arkaili 0 points1 point ago

No; there are two pectorals on each side; the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor.

[–]kidwithhouse 43 points44 points ago

This lame GIF activated all 42 muscles in my face

[–]Calibas 20 points21 points ago

It takes 0 muscles to not give a fuck.

[–]Peregrine7 -3 points-2 points ago

I'm an efficient redditor, when I saw this .gif I maintained my body's perfect stillness and pressed the downvote button on my way to the back button.

[–]BoringSurprise -4 points-3 points ago

i held out until the very end thinking maybe...just MAYBE they'd change at least one word in the script

[–]TheSimonToUrGarfunkl -4 points-3 points ago

Jesus christ, I don't normally do this but when I saw this comment just sitting there I laughed harder than I ever think I have on reddit before. Good job man.

[–]sharksfan93 15 points16 points ago

It takes more energy to use the 4 muscles in your arm then it does to frown at someone and use 42 face muscles

[–]Yarxing 7 points8 points ago

And it probably takes more than 4 muscles to run or defend yourself.

[–]GraveyardPoesy 3 points4 points ago

Fools, I'll keep on frowning then, and eventually I'll have a frown that could bend steel (...somehow)!

[–]Blouch 8 points9 points ago

Why is this a gif?

[–]ema1n[S] 0 points1 point ago

Because someone wanted to make it a gif...

[–]Stanstanlol 0 points1 point ago

I think more people would have preferred that you didn't...

[–]libertasmens 0 points1 point ago

Your hypothesis appears to be well supported.

[–]soulking 4 points5 points ago

I'll be sure to keep this in mind.

[–]ordnajelas 4 points5 points ago

It actually takes WAY more than 4 muscles...

[–]non_sequitur_MKE 0 points1 point ago

This post gave me cancer.

[–]zimbabwe7878 -1 points0 points ago

I hate when I see something cool in a comment thread, and then the same shit frontpages... I can feel the lazy.

[–]oshikko 1 point2 points ago

False. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JcVAcxayiFM#t=387s

[–]libertasmens 0 points1 point ago

I love, absolutely love QI, but this like many things I've seen there isn't necessarily true. I think sometimes the writers will tweak facts or use a fact that isn't well supported for the sake of entertainment. Still, that doesn't make it any less entertaining.

[–]taco_tuesdays 1 point2 points ago

OK, this has always confused me. People say that it takes 42 muscles or whatever to frown, but I didn't think frowning was an active gesture. Usually, when I "frown," it's just a lack of smiling: my face becomes droopy because I am relaxing all the muscles. Unless I actively turn my lips down, which I can do, but that looks more silly than frown-y. Am I reading too much into this, or have I been misled all my life?!

[–]bubba589 0 points1 point ago

I got a forward a long time ago but it said bitch slap that mother fucker right across there face

[–]MedicMehdi 1 point2 points ago

That might be wrong.

[–]Nyght87 -1 points0 points ago

It takes 0 muscles to not give a fuck.

[–]Abstractpants -5 points-4 points ago

This is stupid.

[–]ema1n[S] 6 points7 points ago

Then downvote it and gtfo.
