Reality - Princeton Students after a snowball fight.

Were they punching each other with the snow?

There was either rocks inside, or they used the heat of their hands to compact and harden the snowballs.

Probably the latter, but possibly both techniques were used.

My brother and I used to put ice in ours. Better than throwing rocks since you can claim ignorance.

Or take the hand hardened snow, roll it in powder, and claim ignorance.

I know, there's lots of variations on how make a snowball maim or cause blunt force trauma, but adding rocks and making ice balls in your hands seemed like a consise way to explain why those kids all look like boxers who lost a 10 round slug fest.

when i was little, my brother skipped the packing the hard rock inside the snow bit and just threw the rocks at my head instead.

Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).
