[@g1ngrrrawr]

NL has a ridiculously high opinion of the athletic abilities of 12 year olds

[@NaturalBornChilla666]

For real. How does he think they would beat him in basketball?

[@superguy183828]

In my canon, it's actually labeled : "a great JV team"

[@UngodlyFreak]

I was terrible at basketball when I was 12 and my skills certainly haven't improved since then due to lack of practice. So I can totally see myself losing to 12-year-olds. Physical advantage means nothing if you don't even get to touch the ball.

[@urrhehe]

@@NaturalBornChilla666 12 year olds are smaller but swifty also I would say the average 12 year old is better than a 35 in basketball. Recess and gym class vs not having played it for 20 years? Also I dont think an avarage 35 year old has any moves on offense except trying to be bigger.

Does this mean that NL thinks a 12 could beat a Panda in a fight.

[@renegadeprism42]

ONLY IF THE 12 YEAR OLD USES JUDO!!!!!!

[@cameroncurtis7261]

Depends on if it is a 12 y/o panda or a 35 y/o panda

[@Crytaljam]

For triathlon it depends where the swimming is held. The Seine or any substantial river, NL is cooked, the current is crazy and even actual triathletes struggle. A lake, NL can prob do it given time

[@UngodlyFreak]

Yeah, people underestimate how tough open water swimming is compared to the controlled environment of a swimming pool. Average person would struggle to complete the 1500 meter swim and even if they did they would be too knackered for the cycling and running.

[@Aguycalledmax]

If it’s in the Seine injury/death is guaranteed without mainlining antibiotics afterwards

[@peterdafox]

I like how all the biking stuff he'd either die or beat everyone.

[@HackionSTx]

[@albertoteshiba316]

I like how NL is using Japan's pictograms instead of the abominations that are used in Paris 2024

[@Nikowo1610]

I just looked them up and actually I'm on board with those, might not be the most clear upon glancing but they look so pretty

[@albertoteshiba316]

@@Nikowo1610 They are pretty, but if you look at them in a list, from afar, or you don't know the equipment or court of the sport, you have no idea of what the sport is. It completely takes away the human element and it makes it hard to even know what it is about.

NL, I'm a whitewater kayaker, if you have not been in flowing water, you are not staying in the kayak for kayak cross, and other people are going to be hitting you. You would be injured and there is a 0% chance you finish also you are launched from a platform in the air

[@ericjackson3532]

Bruh getting a PragerU ad while watching NL is wild

[@dekrared6336]

I'm convinced his whole chat has never played nor watched any sport in their lives but still bothers to yap about them

[@Shiftarus]

12 year olds are dextrous but their HP is very low, they are easy to displace, and their short arms and legs as well as light weight put them at extreme disadvantage. Surely they will recover from this damage far better than the 35 year old, but that is another question entirely

[@RyuuRider]

Not to mention the mental. A kid's likely to lose their calm/focus easier and they're also going up against someone who's much taller and larger than them. Intimidation tactics, NL could make it work. But that's a matter of average 12yr old psychology.

[@kazuya9288]

A 1.5km (0.93 mile) swim, 40km (25 mile) cycle, and a 10km (6.2 mile) run. There is no way NL is finishing that

[@Swbbboy]

He cycles 30-40 miles almost every day so the cycling wouldn't be hard. The swimming would be a bigger challenge than he realizes especially if its in a river or open ocean with currents, as he noted his upper body is crap so he'd gas out fast. Hard to say for the run, but I imagine if he got past swimming he would be able to complete.

[@ayo8952]

I really think NL is overestimating his swimming ability. Keep in mind he'll have a high likelihood to get side stitches and cramps in the pool. And the olympic swimming pool is much longer than a recreational one, being 25 yards vs. 50 meters. I can't see him finish 100 meters or even compete in a water polo game against 12 year olds that know how to foul (drown) you

[@norinajulia9435]

Take a shot every time NL says “if I’m being honest” lol

[@violetvi45]

Taking Boxing/Muay Thai classes for the first time certainly does humble you. You don’t realize just how different that kind of cardio can be from things like running or biking until you throw combos for 60 minutes and can hardly move your body the next day lol.

[@Jaies_]

The insistent minimalism makes a lot of these logos borderline incomprehensible

The funny thing about a tier for beating the average 12 year old is that there are olympic gymnasts that are literally 15 and have been world class since 12, meanwhile gymnastics is one of the most dangerous sports on the list (i guess that's only really if you attempt actual skills though, otherwise it's like his surfing argument)
