Muay Thai fighters purposefully break their shins so they heal and become stronger. Younguns decided to employ this technique for the face.
Why does their face need to be stronger? Who are they going to fight with their face? 🤔
It's required so they can master the Face to Foot style.
A folk belief has arisen among some young men that they can reshape their face bones to be more aesthetically pleasing by creating microfractures and letting them heal. It's unclear how many people are actually doing this, because anything people say that they do on the internet is going to be rife with people just playing along without actually doing it, but there are a few influencers who do it on camera so the number isn't zero.
This reminds me of the meme "to become bulletproof begin by shooting yourself with smaller caliber bullets to build resistance"
As a person who grew up mostly socially isolated (and nearly became a chud), when you don't have a community of normal people around you to tell you not to do this, and you don't have people to reach out to for advice, it's very easy to look at bad advice or nonsense in a vacuum (or on chud filled social media like 4chan) and think it has any merit
For evidence: look up videos of students of nonsense martial arts who get soundly trounced by people who ACTUALLY know martial arts; they saw a guy waving his hands like he's in a slap fight and ACTUALLY try to use that style against people who are trying to punch them in the face
On the plus side though, most people who engage in this nonsense are chuds so......good
I dunno, this sounds like another "kitty litter for furry students" type bs. It can't be real. It's too dumb.
Bonesmashing is real and has vocal proponents online like Clavicular. Very niche in terms of people who actually "practice" it, but not invented like the furry litterbox is.
My day is ruined
I think it's more like the carnivore diet thing. There's really influencers peddling this shit, but none of them actually do it.
People actually do the carnivore diet, and I'm sure people do this shit too. There's a lot more people doing weird shit than you probably realize. I'm not sure whether social media has made it more prolific or just more visible
Its more real than the litter thing
I sincerely hope it's mostly fake, but I guess it started in incel communities and at least one influencer mentioned in the comments does it.
Retrophrenology is real! 
Gen Z are doing the balls in acid challenge (trust me)
