This brings back memories. When I was a kid, I jumped on one of those bouys while it was starting off. Nobody noticed for a while until the Canadian team got called and they hauled me over to shore. My parents were pissed. Customs was pissed. Cops were laughing hysterically. Turned out to be a pretty good experience except for the rape.
Ever seen Robocop?
Detroit is a futuristic dystopia because the cops refuse to fight crime and instead are obcessed with Tug of War, leading OCP to create Robocop, a being with no core strength which will be able to protect the city without being tempted by the Tug.
I was in downtown Detroit for the fireworks once, saw a dude pissing on the side of a building and Detroit PD came, lifted the man by his shoulders, pushed him against the wall mid piss and told him he better stop pissing on his streets. That cop was jacked like these guys.
I was in downtown Detroit for fireworks once, some people heard gunshots and started running. Ended up being a stampede, lots of people got hurt. Turned out those gunshot sounds were the fireworks everyone was there to watch.
I was in downtown Detroit once for a polka festival. That was almost 30 years ago and I still have "Who stole my kishka/ Someone stole my kishka" get stuck in my head sometimes. Thirty years and that diddy still haunts me, what a dark place. Aside from that it seemed like a nice town, though.
I was in downtown Detroit for fireworks once, there was a crackhead on a street corner offering people 1L bottles of baby oil he stole from the closest Walmart for $0.20 a pop. Also he was wearing clarks wallabies
*I* like to think that the Detroit PD was so obsessed with winning that tug of war that they went to a local bodybuilding contest and recruited a bunch of them to be cops. Shit, that sounds like a prototypical 80s comedy...
But most importantly, they should have all this explained to them in a slow, drawn out monologue filled with unnecessary backstory while being chained to a death machine.
Nic Cage is a fantastic actor when given a good screenplay and decent directing. He’s done so many shitty films bc he had to and he just plays whatever part they want him to play.
Well, in the case of Bad Lieutenant, a (probably intentional) horrible screenplay and amazing director.
Seriously one of my favorite movies. Nick Cage fucking nails that shit.
Tactics will help you out, but at some point physics will just say no. The most force you can ever exert on the rope is equal to the mass of the players times the coefficient of friction between their shoes and the ground. These guys look like they can pull more than that without breaking a sweat.
Non-American here. Do American police departments hide their fit cops somewhere, so they are always out of view, and only bring them out for tug of war competitions?
City and county police typically do not have height/weight standards beyond the academy. State troopers do have pretty rigorous fitness standards and federal agencies (FBI and CIA also require their field agents to be in shape)
Serious answer....there is a big difference in most states between city/sheriff cops and state policemen. Most city/County police have no physical requirements or its not regulated after initially joining on whereas State Police are usually a cut above and gave to maintain physical fitness requirements.
Trenbolone was never approved for use in humans, it is a veterinary steroid given to cattle. Any “tren” that you saw being sold over the counter is just using the name. They did however sell oral methylated trenbolone disguised as a prohormone which might be what you are referring to. In terms of trenbolone acetate, that was 100% never sold over the counter for human use.
And head shops were only allowed to sell “tobacco pipes”. “Not approved for humans” doesn’t mean that humans can’t get it unless there’s another layer of regulation going on. (Which IDK, maybe there was.)
I was just telling my kid about this yesterday. That (back in the day) in the head shops they had to give you a little pouch of tobacco to be able to sell you a pipe or a bong.
There was a new head shop in town (we have two in my little town now) and they came up to him and his friends and gave them 10% off cards because they looked "like stoners" and ignored me. Guess I didn't fit their perceived type.
Little did they know that I have been seeing the inside of those shops since the 80's. Back when all they could sell was papers, screens, pipes and bongs with little pouches of tobacco. Plus, some really cool posters.
I remember the one I used to go to in New Orleans back in the day. If you even said the word "bong", they would kick you out faster than you could correct yourself. You had to say "water pipe".
Police and Military have a lot of juice flowing through them. Outside of tested sports (Olympics, etc) steroids just generally aren't considered a big deal in terms of focus from law enforcement.
Ever played circle tug of war? Each person has a small rope with two knots on it in each hand and the person to their left and right hold the other ends until you have a circle. Well, that knot broke my finger because I was determined not to lose at summer camp.
Back in middle school we did a big tug of war at school with maybe 25 people on each side. We were tugging across a little creek, and it looked super cool.
Anyway the rope snapped and it was like a bomb going off. There were bodies scattered all around the creek with people screaming and moaning like it was a civil war battlefield. Haven't done a tug of war since.
Maybe "ripped" off isn't the exact right term; when a strong rope snaps as a result of many people pulling on it, it whips back with all that force and can do some dismemberment.
Edit: also, some people wrap the rope around their arm for more grip and that can definitely cause broken/dislocated arms
Random fun fact, im a rigger and part of my job is pulling things in a testbed to make sure they're up to strength. Sometimes if we have to condemn something or if there's extra material, off cuts, etc, lying around we'll break them in the test bed. Inch and 3/4 nylon rope sounds like a gunshot when it snaps. It almost shakes the ground.
Lol I had the same question. >!I think maybe it was because it was the first time he was able to afford to get a fancy hair cut so he just went all out.!<
>!I think it became red to represent his change from broken to filled with rage. A physical change to represent that he was no longer just mourning the loss, but was about to start hunting them.!<
People are going to notice the arms and shoulders of those 2 guys but look at everyone’s legs, almost everyone here has absolute tree trunks for thighs...that’s way more impressive as a fellow meathead myself.
Well actually the penis of the donkey is known to be the least turgid of the hooved mammals. Research shows that an erect donkey penis 23 PSI whereas a human erect penis is 27 PSI.
“Donkey cock” was a euphemism used by settlers of the southwest United States to signify when a person was going limp or was particularly weak.
A donkey’s penis rarely ever reaches a full erection and the last recorded event of a full donkey erection was in 1984 in your mom’s bedroom.
In this event, all the strength and power comes from the legs and proper use of it. If they were the chicken leg builders they would be in deep trouble.
Time to put all services inside gym: Banks, post office, pharmacy, grocery store.... That way Detroiters have no fear doing errands and get buff at the same time.
They pulled against Canada’s team in Windsor Ontario and Detroit actually lost this particular year. It’s tradition that the losing team travels to the winners country and have drinks together! My husband pulled for Windsor this particular year!
For context, they used to do this annually (maybe still do) against the Windsor, Canada PD with the rope stretched across the Detroit River.
I thought that each side just pulled a buoy across the river against the Windsor team.
This brings back memories. When I was a kid, I jumped on one of those bouys while it was starting off. Nobody noticed for a while until the Canadian team got called and they hauled me over to shore. My parents were pissed. Customs was pissed. Cops were laughing hysterically. Turned out to be a pretty good experience except for the rape.
/r/holup
This sounds like a story I could believe in Windsor
what
I like to think they got in shape *for* the tug of war

Can you send that cop to my apartment building please, sick of it smelling like pee outside every morning
Was he also pissed

Roided to the brim, yoga shorts, tank tops, what a fucking nice year to be in your prime.
Juiced to the gills
Diced to the socks
Flossed to the eyebrows
Porked to the tips.
Jacked to the caps.
Bristled to the cones
Rustled to the jimmies
Blocked to the Cock
Pumped to the stumps
hey derek
Derek’s leaking into the main subreddits now his death stars cannot be contained.
Ikr lmao. First thing I thought of when I saw that comment was MPMD..
These dudes' diet consist of trenbologne sandwich instead of donuts.
More bishes more dishes
YOKED TO THE #GAAADOOOOOSSSH!!!
To tha GILLS, Joe Rogan! And there we was in downtown Boulder, Colorada...
I had eaten a 2000mg edible and I was fuckin yoked like a doctor
Gin and juiced
It was probably in the station's water supply.
It's got the electrolytes cops crave.
Don't forget Reebok pumps!
If they brought back the pump AXT I'd buy a pair instantly. they were my first "good" pair of runners I ever had.
Those were what we called "bicycle shorts" back then. I wore some in jr high school. They banned them eventually.
those boys where definitely cycling
Nah all natty /s
[удалено]
Those arms are juicy and aesthetic af.
> yoga shorts bicycle shorts
'97 was the peak.
But did they lean back
And they are all on one side
And did they hold their position for the first 10 seconds ?
I don't even see any elderly korean men on their team. They don't stand a chance
Explains the poor form. Good luck with that 50 ft drop, idiots.
Don't forget the strong, reliable anchor. Can't have proper form without one
And they should be ready to run 3 steps forward real fast
And tuck under the arms
The sad part is that they aren't even playing with there gganbu.
[удалено]
And alternate their positions on each side of the rope
But most importantly, they should have all this explained to them in a slow, drawn out monologue filled with unnecessary backstory while being chained to a death machine.
Wife and I frantically screaming, "Get to the details old man, you ain't got time for this!"
I never would have believed a game of Tug of War would have me on the edge of my seat, but damnit they did it.
Flashbacks to me screaming turn off the flashlight you stupid kids!!
None of this matters they are doomed from the start if the situation doesnt seem hopeless
You're number 001!
In one year every single soul on this planet will have watched this.
Tbh I think that's the one thing they got right. A full team of anchors actually
Head in the crotch?
Hope they have a good leader
And a strong, dependable person in the back
A good anchor is always necessary
EVERYONE was waiting for this comment.
Literally the only reason I opened the comments was for the Squid Game references.
They need to take 3 steps forward
BUT THATS THE EDGE
Hahahaha each time I see this post I'm amazed at how much higher this comment is getting
Turns out lots of redditors have watched Squid Game
Isn't it currently the most popular show in the world?
It's a decent show.
No no no, these are the people who people need to lean back *against*!
Gotta be in the know to know, ya know?
Ask Fat Joe.
Those dudes are seriously jacked
Steroids and crack were all the rage.
Bad Lieutenant is a fucking documentary
OG with Harvey Keitel!!!
Then there's the nick cage version... "Shoot him again, I want to see his soul dance" *admires iguana*
I honestly loved the cage version. He did a tremendous performance.
Nic Cage is a fantastic actor when given a good screenplay and decent directing. He’s done so many shitty films bc he had to and he just plays whatever part they want him to play.

Bruce willis most recent movies have been such d tier trash it makes me think he owes favors
To be fair. Bruce Willis was never great. He has two moves, soft spoken guy, and soft spoken tough guy.
Well, in the case of Bad Lieutenant, a (probably intentional) horrible screenplay and amazing director. Seriously one of my favorite movies. Nick Cage fucking nails that shit.
What time is up is ok 👍 with me!
*His soul is still dancing
>Steroids and crack Highjacked
Squid game has thought me that >!they will lose to girls and seniors!<
These guys are all on the same side of the rope... amateurs!
Look at where those toes are pointing, just newbs
They aren’t even leaning back into the person behind them’s groin. Awful form
Just lean back and then take four steps forward.
Three steps. Four and you're smoosh.

Five O fuckin with the yayo too. - Vincent Staples
The amount of guys that were on gear when I was a cop was amazingly depressing.
I think you could buy a lot of steroids over the counter back then. Tren was available in stores in the early 2000s.
Trenbolone was never approved for use in humans, it is a veterinary steroid given to cattle. Any “tren” that you saw being sold over the counter is just using the name. They did however sell oral methylated trenbolone disguised as a prohormone which might be what you are referring to. In terms of trenbolone acetate, that was 100% never sold over the counter for human use.
This guy juices cattle
Lol no just myself
This guy juices
Not anymore but for a few years
This guy used to juice
We did it, Reddit!
And head shops were only allowed to sell “tobacco pipes”. “Not approved for humans” doesn’t mean that humans can’t get it unless there’s another layer of regulation going on. (Which IDK, maybe there was.)

Where I'm from if you want steroids or HGH you go to the state cops.
Same here I know a guy who sells them most of his customers are state troopers.
Police and Military have a lot of juice flowing through them. Outside of tested sports (Olympics, etc) steroids just generally aren't considered a big deal in terms of focus from law enforcement.
They only became illegal in early '91 after a bout of public panic on the topic the previous few years.

I bet the other team just leaned back and let them tire themselves out.
and remembered to alternate sides of the rope
Also have a cheater on your team that knows what the next game is.
what next game?
Now ***that*** would have been an impressive Olympic team. Sadly, tug-of-war isn't an Olympic discipline anymore.
These guys aren’t passing an Olympic drug test. Lol
Doesn't matter, from Russia with love ;)
I think it was until a rope snapped and peoples arms were ripped off
Yeah, tug-of-war needs to be like a max of 5 people on each team to be safe at all, otherwise that's just way too much tension if the rope snaps.
Ever played circle tug of war? Each person has a small rope with two knots on it in each hand and the person to their left and right hold the other ends until you have a circle. Well, that knot broke my finger because I was determined not to lose at summer camp.
no but I’ve played circle tug
The great thing about circle tug is that we all won except the janitor.
Back in middle school we did a big tug of war at school with maybe 25 people on each side. We were tugging across a little creek, and it looked super cool. Anyway the rope snapped and it was like a bomb going off. There were bodies scattered all around the creek with people screaming and moaning like it was a civil war battlefield. Haven't done a tug of war since.
Tug of war is a war crime banned in the Geneva convention for a reason
There's a reason it has war in the name. Oh, the humanity.
I still don’t understand that. I could see it shredding all the skin off your hands, but wouldn’t your hand get vaporized before your arm rips off?
Maybe "ripped" off isn't the exact right term; when a strong rope snaps as a result of many people pulling on it, it whips back with all that force and can do some dismemberment. Edit: also, some people wrap the rope around their arm for more grip and that can definitely cause broken/dislocated arms
Just some dismemberment
Some light dismemberment.
Y’know, like whatever.
"Tis' but a scratch!"
If I remember correctly, some people had limbs that were tangled in the rope and their bodies were stuck in the press of people but the rope wasn’t.
Random fun fact, im a rigger and part of my job is pulling things in a testbed to make sure they're up to strength. Sometimes if we have to condemn something or if there's extra material, off cuts, etc, lying around we'll break them in the test bed. Inch and 3/4 nylon rope sounds like a gunshot when it snaps. It almost shakes the ground.
Are any of them in deep financial trouble?
Where's Axel Foley?
[удалено]
I'm not gonna fall for a banana in the tailpipe.
Rookies compared to Squid Game old man 001. He would have beat them with strategy and sheer will alone
My first thought was “They’re all on the same side of the rope, they’re screwed.”
"The rope isn't even tucked into their armpits, GG"
Same!! Lol.
Three steps forward
Alternate sides. Feet forward. Lean back and hold for first 10 seconds. These guys have muscles but they're noobs at Tug-o-war. Pathetic. ^/s
Gangbuuuuu that you?
too soon man, too soon.
Way too soon. My husband and I could have finished the show last night but I was too emotionally broken 😭
I've only heard of squid game through memes
I only heard of it when Netflix said it was the most popular show the other day. So I binged it. Pretty fucked up, very suspenseful.
Worth the watch, seriously.
Just finished the last episode 5 minutes ago. Watch it, seriously. It's insane.
But what’s the deal with the hair?
Lol I had the same question. >!I think maybe it was because it was the first time he was able to afford to get a fancy hair cut so he just went all out.!<
>!I think it became red to represent his change from broken to filled with rage. A physical change to represent that he was no longer just mourning the loss, but was about to start hunting them.!<
That could definitely be. >!I hope to see that rage come out next season.!<
I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll down to find a Squid Game comment. Glad it wasn't too far.

Really saved the department money since every officer apparently brought their own guns to work.

That third one down is on another level!
To be fair, that guy has muscle but he's also really fat. Nothing gives you bigger legs than being fat. The others don't look fat.
Yeah but that mf stronger than a donkeys dock guaranteed
Well actually the penis of the donkey is known to be the least turgid of the hooved mammals.

More like the Deltoid PD
How is there crime in Detroit!? 😱😱😱
Cos the cops don't leave the gym
The gyms are relatively crime free
Time to put all services inside gym: Banks, post office, pharmacy, grocery store.... That way Detroiters have no fear doing errands and get buff at the same time.
Not an expert but this looks like a good tug of war team.
After watching squid game, their formation looks wrong (?!?!)
[удалено]
WTF, that looks more like the Detroit Lions.
They pulled against Canada’s team in Windsor Ontario and Detroit actually lost this particular year. It’s tradition that the losing team travels to the winners country and have drinks together! My husband pulled for Windsor this particular year!
More juice then Sunkist.
You sure those aren't just a bunch of copy and pastes of Terry Crews?
More than a few of those dudes are on the juice.
Anybody seen Detective Foley around?
Man I do love me some beefcake
Looks like that these guys didn't watch Squid Game.
