Sorry bud, it sounds like you think I believe someone could train their body to become bullet proof. That’s not what I’m saying.
I’m saying your argument is fallacious. Your conclusion is correct, but your argument fails.
Also, you can’t just convert impact energy to pressure like that. I’m not familiar with the equation you’re using (is it just energy divided by the volume of a 0.22" sphere?), but I do know that impact is much more complex than that. It’s going to depend on both the bullet and the impact surface. Bullet geometry and material will change things, for example hollow points vs full metal jacket. Then there’s the impact surface, it’s hardness, strength, ductility, even viscoplasticity (materials can deform in different ways at the really high strain rates you get in an impact event). Think about the way Kevlar armor works. It dissapates some of the energy by stretching and breaking the strands of Kevlar and it reduces the impact force on a body by spreading it over a larger area and slowing the bullet over a longer distance. The person wearing the Kevlar armor still gets much of that energy delivered to their body.

Do you need to have it broken down, step by step, why shooting yourself with a gun, is going to permanently injure you, likely quite severely?
No, I mean the guy in the post demonstrates it pretty clearly. Going from 22 pellets to 22 short was basically going from “this won’t maim you” to “this could kill you at close range”. Could he have used something else between those energies to further develop a callous tough enough to stop a 22 short? Ehh probably not, but going on about how a 223 will blow off his leg isn’t a good argument for why this method won’t work. It’s either a strawman or a non sequitor depending how you present it.
It’s like you’re making this argument: Paper will never stop a 223 bullet and here’s why. 10 layers stopped a small pellet sure, and 50 layers stopped a 22 pellet. But if you just make it 100 layers and shoot it with a 223 then it will explode because a 223 is at least 100 times more powerful and that’s only double the paper! No amount of paper could stop a 223.
“His way of thinking wouldn’t work because if he skipped a bunch of steps in his process, it would blow off his leg” isn’t the great argument you think it is.
Oh I guess I’m confused how your first sentence is related to the rest of your post?
Sorry, but that “if” is doing a lot of work when the rest of it seems like you’re building a strawman to beat.
It wasn’t 223, check the post again. His goal was 223 but he went to the hospital from 22 short.
Shit I got port and starboard reversed again
The guy on the bottom right is the only one actually nailing that look.

Games can absolutely be played asynchronously. Games can have scoring systems instead of head-to-head.
Would you say pinball is not a game?
I didn’t think I needed to get out the dictionary definition of game, but I hope this clears it up… Definitions from Oxford Languages: “noun, a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.”
hobovision@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?01·1 month agoWhy track and field events not games? They have rules, can be won or lost, and can be played casually if you think that is a requirment.
Take shot put, hammer throw, and javelin, for example. The game is who can throw the object in a certain way the furtherest. I could play a shot put game with some friends at a river bank by drawing a line in the sand and seeing who can huck the heaviest rock on the shore the furthest.
There’s a reason they call them Olympic Games.
Really any activity with some structure is a game if it is play and not “real”, even better if it can help practice a skill useful in life. There is a difference between a running race (a game) and running for your life from a bear (not a game). Between MMA and a street fight. Between war games and a shooting war.

hobovision@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?01·1 month agoWhat athletic competition would not be a game if all sports are games? I mean, honestly, what is the difference you see between “sport” and “athletic competition”?
You can extend or contract “game” as much as you want, but I can’t think of a definition of game that would encompass all sports but not all athletic competitions (if there really is a difference).
Same with Deftones.
Did it also add a Nazi / fascist type shirt?
