Only 30% of People Can Clap With the Back of Their Hands
1: I can’t do it.
2: Don’t do it!
5: I did it, but why shouldn’t you?
6: >>5 Ah…
7: Now you’ve gone and done it. The reverse clap… lol.
10: I did it, but are there really people who can’t? Are you deformed?
16: >>10 Clapping with the back of your hands is called a reverse clap, and it’s said that it’s how dead people clap. It’s dangerous if you do it at night.
18: >>16 But, I’m alive.
22: >>18 That’s why people who are alive shouldn’t do it, lol.
34: >>22 Why?
41: >>34 In general, if you’re alive and perform an action that dead body carry out, they will recognise you as one of them.
43: >>41 So then they’ll come this way? Thinking I’m a friend?
165: Shinin ga shinin looooooooooool (this is a pun with the first shinin being “dead people” and the second being “sighting, confirm by sight”)
386: >>41 A pun at this hour…
15: Piece of piss, I’m clapping as hard as I can.
28: It’s spiritualism? I’ll clap if it means I can meet my dead granny again.
71: >>28 Don’t do it!
46: Whoops, I did it… Am I dead now?
58: >>46 In a worse case scenario I don’t think you’ll die, but you’ll probably face some troubles.
50: Why do you suddenly start clapping with the back of your hands once you die?
61: It’s a trap.
64: You clap when you visit a shrine, right? If you do the opposite then something bad will happen.
69: Kami-sama: “That guy sure has a strange way of clapping… Alright, let’s grant his wish!”
70: I’m being entirely serious here, my bones hit each other and now it hurts.
100: This audience member reverse clapping terrifies me.
128: Speaking of things you can’t do, you shouldn’t face mirrors at each other. They say it creates a path for ghosts to pass through.
142: The moment I did it, the atmosphere in the room changed.
176: Those of you going to take a bath now, make sure you don’t say “daruma-san ga koronda.” You can’t even think it.
346: In short, if you clap with the back of your hands, it creates a sound that people can’t hear but lures ghosts, right?
357: I’m terrified of ghosts, I can’t do it. When I wake up during the night and need to go to the toilet, I do so swinging my fists in the air in front of me.
