I was scrolling through my incel-tok feed and stumbled upon Imad Fraudwalkers guide on "Zygo-pushing, Orbital-pulling" not important to the thread etc etc, I then took it upon myself to look through the comment section and then.. I stumbled upon this comment.

After reading this, my first reaction was: “This can’t be true… can it?”. well it's not, a healthy adult male or even a child IS going to produce more than 150 newtons of force (Idk why he said "at most 150 newtons lit 33.7 lbs.")
but some bones in the body like the humerus or tibia (vast underestimate btw) do fracture at upwards of 2400 newtons,
but in the case for facial bones this is not true.

(scroll for continuation)

Ok… so on the topic of fracture thresholds, this study tells us where the threshold where fractures/failure of the facial bones occur. Data showing:
Zygomatic bones and maxilla fail at relatively low loads (140–160 lbs)
The mandible is noticeably stronger, withstanding near double (280 lbs) before failure/fracture.
Importantly, the transition point around 4 ft/sec impact velocity marks the point where soft tissue absorption becomes insufficient, and the bone itself bears the majority of the load, making fractures far more likely.

(Note: cadavers were generally over 60, likely to assume that younger bones are stronger.)


Now taking all of this into consideration, what is everyones thoughts on the chart? think this could tie into bone hypertrophy at all? lmk + add future thread

(need tag suggestions too btw) + rep the post

Yeah like you noticed zygos and maxilla are relatively thin. Hypertrophy isn't nearly as severe here than in the mandible.

Even with adapation bones have architectural limits; a mandible might densify with martial arts impact or years of chewing strain, but the zygos and maxilla aren't really as load-bearing as the mandible you'll see very minor changes if any at all.

It is an interesting chart though, wonder how much cadaver age truly has an impact.
