The original is that it takes 4 muscles to raise your middle finger. Some dumbass changed it and now it makes no sense.

[–]sirisaacnuton 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, the real original was comparing a smile to a frown, and has been around decades longer than any gifs. For example, a book from 1931. Snopes

So we'll take it. Because he can dish it. From the silent guardian, the surprise protector. The Bitch Slap Knight.

Do you want to know why I use a slap? Punches are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their shocked moments, people show you who they really are.

Here's something Quite Interesting; It's actually false that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Smiling actually uses more.

[–]Unarmed_Mephisto 0 points1 point ago

You didn't fix it, you made it false. Smiling uses more. And did you notice the capitalization of Quite Interesting? That's what QI means.

Funny story, while driving downtown Toronto I guess I wasn't going fast enough (I was speeding at the time) for the nice man in the Mercedes 500 series car to cut across 3 lanes of traffic to make the on ramp to the highway. His window was open, and I had enough time to open mine to hear him swearing at me. So I turned to him, and as loud as I could I yelled "HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!" And "I LOVE YOU TOO" and holy shit did he get even madder, so I laughed as loud as I could at him, and fuck he got even more pissed and sped off. I could not stop laughing all day.

So pro tip - if someone yells at you while driving, the BEST retaliation is to laugh at them loudly, if they yell back, laugh LOUDER,

I still remember, when I was in 8th grade social studies class, this girl sitting next to me just busted out the smile/frown muscle quote on me when all I was doing was sitting there as neutral as I've continued to have been for the next goddamn decade. Then this came out of me:

"WHAT? LOOK. LOOK AT ME NOW. Look at my brow. It's all furrowed. You furrowed it. You are furrowing my brow. That takes like a hundred more muscles because it's nearer where the brain is."

This drives me crazy.. what 42 muscles to frown? I think it only takes like 2 or 3... 5 at most.

I like one that has more of a chance at being true, which is that it takes only three muscles to properly squeeze a trigger.

This image annoyed me so I closed that shit right away, who the fuck thinks this is funny? Fuck you I want to read it NOw not wait 10 seconds. Not to mention it's not very clever in the first place since nothing involving "x takes y muscles" is ever clever. Fuck you OP, fuck you.

It takes a lot more muscles than that if you want to give the guy a proper bitch-slap. Because then you have to work it from your hips.

Bill Hicks had a good line about that old anedocte, which went something like, "I don't know, I just have this... FACE... I look sad all the time... people out of nowhere come up to me and go 'What's wrong? You know it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile!' -- 'Hey, do you know it takes more energy to point that out than it does to leave me alone?'"
