 admit i'm lying? i was surprised that i actually can type 96 right now, best i ever saw in tests 15 years ago was about 75, but my hardware is quite unusual and designed for low response time (these are gaming switches)

like i said, i know i'm not at the top in speed, at best maybe in the top 10% but 168 is just absurd

do the math

168 means literally 168 times 6 keystrokes per minute

this means ~16.8 taps per second

per fucking second

with how much accuracy?

just say "one thousand" while tapping your finger on the desk and see if you can even fucking count how many times you tapped in that period

i doubt you can hardly even manage 16 taps per second with all 10 fingers taking turns

it's ridiculous, and looks fake
