I can explain! Rn in Japan they have this thing 壁ドン (kabedon, literally “wall thump”): when a dude slams his hand on the wall by a girl to keep her caged there with his arm. It’s supposed to be hella manly and sexy, but really people just meme the hell out of it, like the above.
That is a very good quality gurdy…and I wish I could play like that…
If you’ve never heard hurdy-gurdy before, allow me to assure you that whatever you are expecting it to sound like, it won’t be even a fraction as cool as the real thing.
Is… is he slapping… lava? Molten metal? Do my eyes deceive me?

That’s the leidenfrost effect, in which the thin layer of liquid on your hand–sweat, oil, whathaveyou–is vaporized, forming a minutely thin, temporary guard of steam against superheated materials!!
