Recent studies show that a whopping 99.9%* of the entire human population enjoy throwing things.
And really, it’s not all that surprising. Hurling projectiles has been scientifically proven** to provide instant stress relief.
I’m not talking about mundane objects that were actually intended to be thrown, like baseballs and footballs.
Let’s just say human beings are highly resourceful and creative creatures.
When it comes to throwing things, everyone has a preference as to what exactly it is they get a kick out of throwing.
Here’s your chance to really show your creative side!
I’m sure a few of you out there (the other 0.1% of the population) have other outlets for stress and tension that don’t involve flying projectiles.
I’m both curious and envious, so once again, let your creativity shine!
Yesterday, I accidentally dropped a can of olives. It soared menacingly across the kitchen until it crash-landed onto the floor and olives started rolling everywhere like slimy little marbles.
Clever girl that I am, I pretended it was an act of aggression rather than the result of utter clumsiness.
It was surprisingly satisfying.
Now it’s your turn.
Go ahead. Throw something. Let it all out.
Feeling that inner peace now?
Yeah, I thought so.
Apples are incredibly versatile and helpful in maintaining good (mental) health.

I don’t seem to be able to view the responses for “other,” even though it lets you fill in a response.
So now I have to know… What were your responses? 😀

I just want to clarify I would only throw lemons after ensuring I had enough in my iced tea. They would have to be completely expendable to be repurposed as projectiles.

Hey, I completely understand. Might I suggest substituting something else from the citrus family, if you’re in a pinch? Oranges, grapefruits, and limes are all excellent alternatives. 😀

Indeed. If life serves you lemons…find limes to throw.

And if you run out of limes…well, there are countless other equally suitable household objects that will suffice.
