Jestermaxxing is the latest term to make its way onto the internet, with the bizarre trend yet another that’s come about thanks to the manosphere.

If you’re fortunate enough to not be aware of the strange culture which is affecting young men across the world, then buckle up, because I’m about to explain this bizarre trend as best as I can.

Essentially, streamers online are attempting to influence young men into believing that violence against women is justified because women are ‘evil’, with their value as a human entirely dependent on their attractiveness, which is obviously nonsense, but some men are lapping it up because of their struggles with the opposite sex. The worrying trend is also explored in the hit Netflix series Adolescence.

This sometimes involves coming up with strange new words, whether it’s ‘looksmaxxing’ which gives you terrible advice about looking your best, while ‘framemogging’ involves looking more muscular than another man.

One thing those in incel culture aren’t too keen on is ‘jestermaxxing’, which essentially involves having fun and cracking jokes as a way of making yourself seem more entertaining, with some influencers in the manosphere warning against having fun at all costs.

While it might be frowned upon in incel culture, jestermaxxing sounds alarmingly similar to my method with the opposite gender for most of my adult life, although obviously my devilish good looks also helped in landing me such a wonderful partner.

Certainly, most sensible folks would argue that acting silly and making a woman laugh is far more likely to increase her attraction to you than admitting to hitting yourself in the face with a hammer, but that ridiculous tactic is seen as transformative by some of the main authorities in the manosphere.

That’s exactly what popular streamer Clavicular has been recommending recently, with the young American applying Wolff’s Law in completely the wrong way, as he claims that controlled stress to his cheekbones is the best way of ‘looksmaxxing’ – yet another strange trend that this internet group seems to abide by.

In a Kick video, he can be heard telling a bemused police officer: “Do you guys know about bone-smashing? It’s according to Wolff’s Law, so when you break down a bone it grows back stronger. So I’m trying to grow my cheekbones.”

Naturally, if you want to have a successful and healthy relationship, you should probably do the exact opposite of what the likes of Andrew Tate and HSTikkyTokky are suggesting, given a significant percentage of their content revolves around hating women.

However, a quick glance at Clavicular’s content seems to suggest that he’s shifted his focus in recent weeks, with the streamer more open to the idea of ‘jestermaxxing’ and actually enjoying his life. Good for him I say.

One man decided to take it upon himself to wire 400 car batteries up in a wild experiment, all in the name of curiosity.

We live in a world where petrol and diesel-reliant cars are slowly decreasing in numbers, with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs).

The American content creator is known for his extreme video concepts, as a self-described ‘science maniac’ who ‘loves building huge lasers and playing with electricity and chemicals’.

Having built some of the biggest lasers ever seen in the social media space, the science-enthusiast has decided to have a go at playing with car batteries and seeing just how much power he can generate.

A chemist by trade, the YouTuber knwon as ‘styropyro’ likes to push the limits of safe experimenting.

Real name Drake Anthony, he wanted to find out how powerful cars can be, when it comes to blowing up a piece of metal.

Some quick maths reveals that 400 car batteries together will be able to generate over 160,000 amps – the standard international unit for measuring electric current.

Unsurprisingly, there was no ready-made car switch on the market which could withstand such power, meaning that Drake would have to make it himself, with the use of over 1,000lbs worth of copper.

You’re probably wondering about the use of car batteries instead of regular old electrical circuits, to which he had a very good explanation.

“When it comes to making huge currents, most people think of using capacitors,” he said.

Drake added: “But interestingly, car batteries don’t fall that far behind in terms of max currents. The benefit with car batteries is that they can dump those currents for far longer than a brief pulse.”

The science nut showed how you can warp a pipe with the sheer power that’s generated, explaining that the energy can be concentrated enough to bend materials.

He did fail a few times, with the electricity destroying the pipe completely instead of bending it.

Eventually, with the help of magnetic pulses, he destroyed the pipe.

Drake went on to test materials such as bismuth, titanium, and tungsten rod, with satisfying explosions.

In the long-awaited finale though, he used Ferrofluid to make a hugely satisfying fireball explosion, because who doesn’t want to see things blown up?

He admitted that it was ‘the coolest thing I’ve ever filmed in my life’, explaining: “In the span of a 10th of a second, nearly the entirety of the dish of ferrofluid was slammed up against the pipe while the total circuit power rose to over 10 million watts.”

The final shot looked like something out of Oppenheimer, though on a much smaller scale, and the most amazing thing is that nothing went to waste.

No, all the car batteries were intact and could be used for other purposes.

Who said controlled explosions and sustainability couldn’t go hand in hand, eh?
