every week a 15 year old posts about hitting his face with a hammer because some tiktok said bone responds to stress. lets kill this.

yes, bone remodels under load (Wolff's law). NO, smashing your face does not give you a chiseled jaw, it gives you microfractures, asymmetry, nerve damage and a worse face. the 'stress' that builds facial bone in a useful direction is chewing forces and growth-phase hormones, not blunt trauma.

if you actually want to influence facial bone:
- during puberty: hard chewing, nasal breathing, tongue posture, dont be a skinnyfat mouthbreather
- after growth plates close: the bone is set. your levers are soft tissue, bodyfat, and surgery (implants, genio, bimax)

stop hitting yourself. its not blackpill its just self harm with extra steps

from the medical side, please listen to this. ive read about kids giving themselves permanent infraorbital nerve damage and facial asymmetry from this trend. you cannot undo that. bone you damage does not heal back symmetrical. it is genuinely dangerous.

the discipline these kids put into bonesmashing if redirected into 2 years of gym + diet would actually transform them. wild how the cope is always the painful useless option
