      All the sources (1) agree that everybody was kung fu fighting. In addition, no verifiable source mentions that nobody was kung fu fighting. In conclusion, we can assume that everybody was actually kung fu fighting. [I have a PhD in physical anthropology]

              Kung Fu fighting is definitely not safety dancing. At all.

                It’s the year 2145, and dancing has been deemed unsafe due to widespread kung-fu fighting and the NaeNaepocalypse of 2099. AI-controlled synthetic automatons now perform all dance-related functions. Automatic, systematic, full of color, self-contained fembots have eliminated the need for humans to engage in dancing. Captivating stimulating, filled with space age design, rhythmatic and acrobatic, they are dynamite attractions, geared to really blow your mind. Dancing, dancing, dancing.

        Not sure if this is sarcasm or a reference I’m not getting, but just in case: It’s not AI generated. I know this because the sign in the background is legible. The hand belongs to the woman to his right. The photo was taken right as he was lifting his hand to adjust/remove his sunglasses.

    Let’s say for a minute, that hypothetically, everyone was in fact kung fu fighting. Now statistically speaking of course, this is impossible. Now hypothetically if they were, hypothetically of course. Now, would they all be performing the same so called Kung Fu move? Statistically speaking that is highly unlikely. This would also, hypothetically, be quite dangerous if it were to actually occur. Coming from a medical official, my wife, who is a doctor, she says that hypothetically, this would be dangerous. So, logically, this would not happen. So in fact, there is no way, impossible even, that everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.

        Except lightning travels at 270,000 mph, therefore it is literally impossible that their moves were “fast as lightning.”

          That’s the speed of lightning in a vacuum, the speed of lightning in a dojo is significantly slower. In fact scientists believe that it can be brought to a crawl visible to normal human vision using a Tai Chi doping process. (Vacuum: Yes, i know)

          It still doesn’t seem likely as someone has to man the Kung Fu merch stalls, organize the event, take tickets, etc. Perhaps some of these tasks could be combined with Kung Fu fighting, but all of them seem very unlikely.
