    Physics alone tells a different story. You can’t hit a monitor like that with that much force and it not fly backward. If this was against the wall, mounted. Then sure. This is staged.

    Plus who gets that angry when working from home? Just go rub one out and get over it.

      Yep, I was gonna say this too.

      I’ve done martial arts a while.

      I’ve also taken basic first aid / trauma response courses, and had a large number of times I needed to put those skills to use.

      That’s not blood.

      It’s perfectly uniform in color, its too bright, too thin, too uniformly glossy, it shows no signs of pooling, dripping, as blood would.

      Its some kind of thin paint or water coloring dye.

      Its all uniform in density everywhere it is, on the hand, its only on one basically surface/side of the hand.

      If it were blood, it would be dripping, it would leave streaks that contour around the entire geometry of the hand, in all dimensions.

      Instead, this looks like it was applied with a brush, poorly, like OP isn’t left handed and/or skilled with a brush.


      Also, that monitor has broken glass craters.

      This hand has no wounds.

      There are no cuts, gauges, bits of glass stuck in their hand.

      Even if he did set it back up after punching it repeatedly… for a hand to do that, to that monitor, he’d have to be hitting it on one or two knuckles.

      Thats like 15ish serious impacts… those knuckles should have significant amounts of lacerations, probably chunks or strips of skin just missing, gauged out, hanging off, dangling, loose.


      Further, look at the impact craters on the monitor.

      Many of them have a very small, circular center, with a wider outer radius, again circular.

      The force you’d need to hit that monitor with, with a fist, to do that… well, you’d be hitting with more than one knuckle.

      (I guess maybe unless you are an exceedingly highly skilled martial artist, which is simply statistically unlikely. I have over 10 years of Karate, 1st level Black Belt, and I’d say you’d need like, roughly another 5 years, something like 3rd to 4th Dan, before you could reliably be both that forceful, and precise.)

      So, many of these impacts, particularly the one on the right… you can’t make those with a fist. A fist would leave an impact that looks like it has at least two knuckes of major primary impact points, the crater radius…would not be uniformly circular.

      You can make that kinda perfect circle with a ball peen hammer though, or some other kind of hammer with a fairly narrow diameter … and then you can just hit near the same spot a few more times, to try and emulate what a fist impact should look like, as we see on the left a few times.


      Apropo of nothing, I highly recommend a Visual Calculus playthrough of Disco Elysium.

      Uh anyway… Fake? 100000%

      Gay? … I dunno, who cares.

          The first time I ever tried to play Disco, I thought I could outsmart the game and do a minmaxxed custom build.

          … I attempted to grab my tie from the ceiling fan, immediately had a heart attack, and died.

          10/10 game.

      He may have put the monitor back upright or held it with his other hand, but I think it’s fake because there’s no blood on the screen and the break points look very similar to each other and are of similar size. I wonder if someone like that is even capable of throwing 15 punches at a monitor and causing that kind of damage with each one.

    Fake: no blood on the monitor

    Gay: why protest/focus-on “many cases” of short-tempered, thin wristed men if not out of the desire for a yandere twink boyfriend? I mean that’s what we’re all thinking about right? …right?

    I’m half convinced the blood is fake. There’s none on the monitor and all the shatter points are pretty uniform.

      The blood is too localized. Even a small cut will bleed all over the place, and definitely drip or run down the arm. That hand has finger paint on it.

      Yeah that’s not blood. It’s too bright to be that dry, and you can even see the pen marks; that’s been colored with a pen, not even painted on. If there was that much blood, it wouldn’t be in that uniform color and thickness, the actual splattering pattern would be very different, and it certainly would have dripped between the fingers

      That’s not a monitor, it’s an iMac likely from the late teens.

      Thing is those will not break like that from just a fist. (I’ve taken them apart and the display panel is pretty shatter resistant, they tend to break in long cracks with little spidering of the panel) Esp, not the way it looks on the very left edge. That was a serious effort with a hammer or something much harder than a knuckle.

      Also, I agree with your assessment - there’s no blood on the keyboard or desk or embedded in the glass of the computer itself, and yeah, that kind of damage WILL see blood AND chunks of glass in the knuckles of the hand.

      Gotta call fake on this as well. Looks like the kid used a red sharpie on his hand.

    Temp setup. Probably some story behind this someone is using as meme bait. The monitor cable is on the outside of the desk. The mouse and keyboard are not anything a Mac user would have. The book as a mouse pad… The hand is from at least a half hour or more later. As initially blood does not look like that. The only mark that would have been a fist is the one on the right. The rest were made by a smaller harder blunt object like the back of a screwdriver handle held in a hand or similar. The force of a hand will distribute like the pattern on the upper right, not the sharper dense fractures with very localized penetration.
