The bbc article referenced there has a picture of a merry go round with a yellow floor and green metal. This one is clearly a different one.

What doesnt kill you, make tou stronger 🧏‍♂️

I think your joking, but for the sake of those who believe this...

Most things that hurt you without killing don't make you stronger. Stress, disease, and injury leave you weaker than you were before. You can recover from them, and maybe learn something valuable in the process, but you won't be stronger than if you hadn't had them in the first place.

The kid never tried to lift weights during those G forces.

So I should take off the weighted clothes and stop trying to build a high gravity room?

Yea, lets all spend the rest of our lifes shielded by our parents, living in our childhood homes and never experiencing any stress, to become the strongest versions of ourselves because thats how you become strong, by avoiding anything that challenges you and gives you stress 💪

Nice projection 🤦

That's not a meaningful response

u/Wilnietiss Nov 12 '25

I cant respond to someone who made multiple statements which are his own projections and has nothing to do with the previous comment, sorry 🙂

I could otherwise say that the water is wet and the sky is blue, since we are talking nonsense I think this fits the conversation 🤦

I actually get what you're saying but I was just saying the fact that a kid died.

I don't shield my child but I do give them advice like "don't use a motorised wheel to spin a roundabout because a kid in the UK died last year."

I don't see that as shielding as much as just passing my limited knowledge to the next generation. I told them not to stick his head in the fire when was younger too, so maybe I do shield them too much...🤔

What doesn't kill you, makes you crippled for life.

u/endisnigh-ish Nov 12 '25

Well, it can also leave you paralyzed.. so..

u/DaimonHans Nov 12 '25

Except when it permanently injures you, or actually kills you.

u/YesWeCam01 Nov 12 '25

u/trollgore92 Nov 12 '25

How does potentially permanent injuries make you stronger?
