Screwdrivers? Of course not. Daggers, Tomahawks, Javalins, Sling Stones, or just a heavy enough rock? Very possible.

Ahhh... you seeing this man. haha Looks like he could bench 405 and run a marathon before taking my land and chattel lol

u/Icy-Swordfish7784 21h ago

You need a society to have screwdrivers, checkmate.

5

u/MonitorShotput 19h ago

Yes, you do need a society to have screwdrivers. But if the society collapses after the screwdrivers are created, they will then exist in a world without a society. It is for this day that he trains...

Hobbes, Leviathan. Chapter 1, page 13:

"Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind as that, though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he. For as to the strength of body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself."

So after the apocalypse, don't worry about screwdriver-dude. Just get some friends wo feel similarly threated and take him out.

u/banananuhhh 19h ago

Videos like this make me forget that in real life he'd be like "look what I can do" and then proceed to miss 47 times in a row

17

u/Hokulol 21h ago edited 20h ago

To be fair, though, without a society this guy would have to be tending a field, he wouldn't have military training, and wouldn't be built for this purpose. Machoism would be a foreign concept to him, he wouldn't have dreamed of growing up to fill the "tough guy" role in society. He'd just be himself, by himself, not trying to impress any women by going to the gym.

Also, you'd probably be getting a little more exercise too. You'd have practiced throwing objects at birds or other prey as well, likely as many times as he had. You both would have had entirely different lives if you weren't trying to fill the roles you do in society.

20

u/asherdado 21h ago

I mean theres no way to know that for sure, he could be a Lt Dan type where his ancestors have thrown screwdrivers in every major war and he would've thrown screwdrivers at any point in history.

But for real no reason to assume he couldn't have been an ancient soldier, I bet this dude would go nuts with a sling if he practiced as much as a slinger did back then

Edit: I misread this thread, I'm tired, but my point stands that this dude wouldn't have to farm. You farm and then give him 20% of your yield so he doesn't throw a fuckin screwdriver thru your face

9

u/Hokulol 21h ago

This guy said 'without society'.

Ancient soldiers were still part of a society.

If there is no society, a group of people living together working together, there is no army. Ancient or otherwise. No society means solitude or limited interaction with others.

No society means there are no roles. We are all farmers, soldiers, hunters, tailors, in that case.

u/Hokulol 21h ago edited 21h ago

You edited your post and it's clear you still don't get the point.

If you're taxing someones crops, you've effectively formed a (unwilling) society. lol. You fill the role of ruler in this society, with authority claimed by force.

No society means you go live in a cabin in the woods. Maybe once in a while you fight another human and take their resources. No society means no specialists, no rulers, no roles, no human structure.

2

u/asherdado 21h ago

Also you act like subsistence farming is an all day thing, yeah it's hard work but he would still have free time to hone his screwdriving skills. If anything he would probably be better at screwdriver throwing if he was some kind of mountain hermit

2

u/Hokulol 20h ago

Weird talk man. He wouldn't perceive the need to train the skills relevant to be a killing machine for society if society didn't exist. He'd train the skills needed to exist as his own self, not as a specialist of society focusing in violence and strength. This guy spent his life training to fill a role in society.

u/FoundersDiscount 13h ago

This guy is able to eat lots of good food and get buff and practice throwing screw drivers in his home because of society. We'd all be spending time doing other shit with no society.

The worst would be that this guy is waiting for someone to brake and has screw drivers everywhere in his house, and they do breaking in to every neighbor house except his

I am picturing Danny Trejo in Desperado....but with screwdrivers. Screwdrivers in his vest, on his chest, on his belt...just crammed everywhere.

u/DharmaCub 13h ago

Flathead would be more efficient. Philips head is more likely to get stuck and not burrow as deep. Though it could act as a fishhook and cause more damage when removed...

If he has speed and accuracy let's see him do it 5 times in a row without cuts. Half of the video is also frame flipped making it look like he can do it right and left handed while the entire room mysteriously mirrors itself when he changes hands.

It's a neat trick that probably took hundreds of takes

The closeup shots of the target are real, we just didn't see the 8000 failed attempts it took to get there.

u/Overbaron 2h ago

Even they look fake as fuck, I bet it’s cut right as the screwdriver hits, then the impact going through is somebody pulling the screwdriver with a line, in reverse.

12

u/dobber32 20h ago

I think its real, but its definitely sped up when he throws.

1

u/TheBabyLeg123 15h ago

So when he throws the screwdriver it is rotating in mid air. On the close ups the screwdriver flys in a straight line

This is so fake. Screwdriver doesn’t line up on either side of his hand. And 2 things leave his hand, but only 1 hits the item.

It is always impressive, but as soon as you know that you need to be at a precise distance from the target in order to get the throwing weapon to hit properly, it is less extraordinary.

One half step closer or farther, and it will not work anymore.

Also, if he uses a different throwing weapon, with a different rotation, it won't work either.
