How light are French children that you can throw them over an 6 foot tall fence

Little practice and a decent hammer throw technique your average adult ought to be able to get higher than a six foot arc with 50lbs. Trick is to grab em by the ankles, looking them in the eye is incredibly distracting.

Amazing. Just be sure not to aim for the bombs

Elementary kids? 50-70 pounds. Oh wait we want kilos. With cheese.

French children are typically the size of human children. This might be surprising from an US perspective.

You're telling me you can lift a 50 pound child over your head and toss them? Multiple times a week?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I can lift a 50 pound weight over my head, multiple times in a row. I'm not sure how these parents are actually doing it, I assume the kids climb over, and the parents aren't actually yeeting them.

Frère ou sœur, est-ce que tu soulèves au moins?
