I just think at some point in my life, there is going to be a wonderful comedic opportunity to crush an apple and I should learn how or train now. e: Anybody else have any ridiculous goals right now?
I believe in you. Ten years ago, many people thought it would be a ridiculous goal to succeed in getting the world record for the most sites having signed up for, yet here I am. Now I’m working on some.
Please keep us updated on your progress
Okay so I actually crushed an apple before I posted this which is what inspired the post. I just wanted to inspire casual conversation, ridiculous goal setting, and joking around.
I was inspired by an American pro wrestler in the Midwest or Mid-South(?), I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid in the late '70s and early '80s. His big gimmick to show his toughness was to crush an apple.
I crushed an Ambrosia apple that was slightly overripe. I do not believe, based on my strength in that endeavor, that I would be able to crush a ripe apple.
I didn’t know if this was possible so I looked for some videos.
This guy isn’t very big, but does it fairly easily with his fingertips, and can crush it with a full grip but it takes him some effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGCawR9vBXE&t=64
Three big guys here with full grips do pretty poorly, then the big guy turns it to pulp in a second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eICtcsd0TvY&t=288
I think you’ve got your work cut out for you.
Wow that was really thoughtful of you, now I feel a little bit sheepish saying that I can actually do this. I just wanted to spark discussion about silly things.
Ive always wanted to make a reality tv show where you take regular people who have always wanted to do something but through whatever reasons never had the chance. Like someone who has never surfed and training them until they can do proper “big wave” surfing. Or someone who has never sat on a horse and training them to ride in a rodeo.

Do 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats amd run for 10km every day. Warning, if you skip it youll be sent to the penalty realm.
There was a guy on some British panel show (maybe WILTY?) who can rip an apple in half. I keep meaning to try that but I keep forgetting.
