Need to vent? A new ‘Rage House’ in Diyarbakir, Turkey, is turning smashed plates and shattered electronics into stress therapy – and it’s going viral! 🎯
From Anger to Innovation
Owner Hamza Durmaz, who opened the facility in early January 2026, told NewspaperAmigo: "Diyarbakır has extreme anger levels. I wanted to create a safe space to release tension without harming others." Visitors pay to break objects like old TVs and furniture in soundproof rooms.
A Global Trend with Local Roots
Inspired by similar U.S. venues, Durmaz adapted the concept for his community. "When I saw Americans doing this, I thought: Why not here? If we prevent even one fight, it’s worth it," he said. The venue has already drawn curious locals and TikTok creators 🎥.
Psychologists debate the long-term effects, but Durmaz insists: "This isn’t about promoting violence – it’s about controlled release." With Turkey’s youth embracing unconventional wellness trends, could this be 2026’s quirkiest self-care hack? 🔨✨
