In only one minute, Kranthi Drillman, a self-described showman from Telangana, stopped 57 electric fan blades with his tongue—something that many people believed was well....impossible. His tongue, you read correctly. Before you question,
"but why?"
let's examine this incredible achievement that has the internet in a frenzy.
As anticipated, Twitter saw a range of responses, from complete astonishment to perplexity and comments that were worthy of memes.
Social media was compelled to pose the big questions as Drillman's tongue touched the fans' spinning blades. Was it a challenge? A wager gone too far? A skill you may include on your resume? Or just a document nobody knew we needed? The internet had a lot to say about it, whatever it is.
Kranthi Drillman’s record-breaking feat: Who knew tongues could do this?
The moment Drillman’s achievement went viral, the X (formerly Twitter) crowd had no shortage of hilarious reactions. After all, this wasn’t your typical Guinness World Record. While some were left scratching their heads, others couldn’t resist chiming in with their own takes.
One user simply posted,
“How do you find out you even got this as a talent😭”.
This seems like the only valid question anyone could ask after seeing a man face off against 57 rapidly spinning fan blades, using only his tongue as a weapon of choice. Others weren’t any less baffled, with another tweet reading,
“Thought this was AI generated 💀”.
It was truly one of those moments where the mind just couldn’t fathom reality. Some fans couldn’t even begin to process the concept, with one tweet saying,
“Anyone else confused that this is a thing?! lol.”
The sheer absurdity of the moment had people questioning whether the world of world records had officially gone too far. Of course, no bizarre record would be complete without a joke about immigration, as one person quipped,
“Whoa… someone get this guy an H1B visa.”
It appears we’ve got a new contender for “most unique skill” to list on a visa application. Meanwhile, some fans found it hard to focus on the actual accomplishment. One person tweeted,
“Me jumping from trade to trade trying to find a 1000x,”
poking fun at the Gen Z hustle culture—because who wouldn’t rather stop fan blades with their tongue than stare at spreadsheets all day? In a more laid-back reaction, another tweet pointed out,
“Anything is a record,”
capturing the overall sense that, in 2025, nothing is too weird to be labeled a record. But the best response might just be the one asking,
“Can I just ask why do we care?”
Fair point, my friend. We might never truly understand, but we’re certainly entertained.
Kranthi Drillman is not your typical person, in case you were wondering about the man who became the human fan blade stopper. In the realm of unusual records, Drillman, well-known for his one-of-a-kind exploits and astounding feats, has achieved a new high—or, depending on your perspective, a new low. With a strange talent that has us all wondering how one even trains for this kind of thing, he reportedly made history by stopping 57 electric fan blades in 60 seconds.

In Telangana, where he has established a reputation for displaying abilities that conflate the impossible with the just ridiculous, Drillman's narrative starts. He has already gained acclaim for acts that appear to defy reason and the rules of physics, so this isn't his first world record either.
Because of his perseverance and love for what he does, he has amassed a sizable social media following, and followers anxiously anticipate his next incredible challenge. It may seem strange that someone would use his tongue to stop 57 fan blades, but this is the same world that accepts excessive cheese rolling and ironing. Why not include stopping with a tongue fan blade?
