My neck hurts just looking at this.

[–] booscience@beehaw.org 42 points 1 week ago (5 children)

None of y’all are horny looking at this?

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 24 points 1 week ago

No I for sure am

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Naah, it's the wrong way around.

[–] booscience@beehaw.org 12 points 1 week ago

You prefer the right side ear hole? Weirdo.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Dude it looks like a Halloween Rubber Ducky tipped onto its front... ofc I am.

ghost rider

Makes sense that ghost rider would be horny for a skellington.

You like looking at her coccyx, don't ya?

[–] booscience@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, I don't have a response to that.

Probably should not have asked.

Damn, that neck part is doing basically all of the first 180° of bending. Rest of the spine be caught slacking.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Would you want what your ribcage comes out of to bend significantly?

Might take your breath away, or break your heart, or both.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago

Nice ass tho, big dawg

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thats got to be the rib cage holding it straight. Otherwise your ribs would famous, and I dont think you breasbone could stay connected.

[–] dave@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Become famous. I dont understand whats so confusing about that.

[–] dave@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

But it doesn’t say ‘become’. That totally changed the meaning. My breasbone can brease easy now, thank you!

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

…a significant part of the spine does not bend.

My scoliosis would like a word

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That part of the spine is bent though. When standing up it naturally curves outward.

[–] Hule@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wouldn't your ribs have to fan out for that part to bend?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

I'm thinking they compress towards the spine.

[–] LetThereBeNick@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is this really an X-ray? I thought you'd see all the ribs and limb bones instead of an imaging slice like this

[–] Jajcus@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

It might be a slice of a CT scan, so still X-ray, but more and with a lot of post-processing.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 12 points 1 week ago

Pffft, my spine dose that shit when I sleep wrong.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

It does bend just not in that direction.

There’s no way she doesn’t pay for this later in life though.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Full scorpion.

[–] pandora@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

I misread that as 'cartoonist' at first and thought this would gonna be a take on how they bend their own lore or something 😅

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago

Calcification of the chest wall is holding our contortionists back from their true cat-like potential.

[–] Starik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It would be odd to be standing behind a contortionist and see them tilt their head back to look at you while their body continues facing forward.

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago

It would be interesting to see some statistics about contortionists and spondylolisthesis.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

That reminds me, I've not watched Alien for a while.

[–] stenAanden@feddit.dk 3 points 1 week ago

Looks like something from a horror movie.

[–] Tiger_Man_@szmer.info 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

looks like they could suck their own dick

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Can't we all

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What would happen if you did this to a regular person lol

An assault and battery charge.
