    Imagine the jar you can’t open is the swear jar and you yell out FUCK and put a dollar through the slot and try to open it and then yell FUUUUUUCK and then put in another dollar…

      The payoff will be HUGE, especially as you keep adding 10% grip strength with every swear.

      Assuming an initial grip strength of 100kg[0]:

      • After 10 swears, you’ve more than doubled your initial strength (100 * (1.1^10) kg = 260kg)
      • After 20 swears, you’re gripping a grand piano
      • After 50 swears, you’re gripping a fully grown adult African elephant
      • After 100 swears, you’re gripping the Statue of Liberty
      • After 500 swears, you’re gripping the planet Mercury
