I can do this if I tear all my ligaments, muscle fibres and snap half my bones. No pain, no gain 😭

It's either that or something about falling out of bed that morning.

We're legit deteriorating into Facebook Minion meme tier at this rate.

u/wyomingTFknott 12h ago

True, but I'm fine with it this time. I mean, come on. How the fuck are some humans able to do shit like this when I can barely even touch my toes? That's not just practice and training, that's talent.

3

u/Vladi_Sanovavich 9h ago

No man, it is practice and training. Everyday, they stretch and train their muscles until they can achieve such flexibility.

Starting from a young age makes it easier since your body can easily adapt to the changes and your muscles will recover and grow faster. But if you're older, it's gonna take longer.

If you want, you can start by doing stretching exercises, make sure you do it right so as not to injure yourself.

How do they work?

u/MoistStub 20h ago

Idk but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with race wars

u/Triquetrums 20h ago

Because the bottom leg is also rotating around.

u/IrbtheOctopus 20h ago

It’s a modification of a dance move called an illusion. It still requires a good amount of training but is very doable for an average person.

My G.I. Joe action figures with Kung-Fu Grip couldn't even do that!

u/TurbulentShiver 1d ago

Watched it 5 times, my body refuses to comprehend what she even did.

117

u/ezio93 1d ago

At around 0:07, you can see that she rotates her standing leg as she's coming up (you can look at her foot to see the turn).

That allows her to essentially do the entire turn at the hip joint. Incredible flexibility still, for sure.

33

u/UnhealthyGamer 22h ago

“Rotates standing leg”

Ow fuck.

u/xaqaria 20h ago

The leg doesn't rotate, she spins on the ball of her foot.

There's a reason she has all those medals

To melt down and put her bones back together?

u/131166 16h ago

Her petite build and athletic capabilities slow her to get into places most people could only dream of. Like the Olympic medal storage vaults

25

u/redditckulous 1d ago

Flexibility is crazy, but also maintaining balance through a full rotation on a mostly straight leg is even crazier

My knees are suddenly aching, and I'm sitting still.

u/_Enclose_ 1d ago

There is part of me that genuinely believes I can do this (the spinny thing) without ever having tried or trained, but the other part knows that I can't and that I will probably severely concuss myself or break my neck if I ever try.

...Yet I still wanna try.

I also think most women's bodies are hurting after thinking about attempting that.

u/Gamer_Koraq 1d ago edited 1d ago

No, we're not. Stop being gross.

EDIT: Sexualizing every godsdamned woman you see is gross, and downvoting me doesn't change that. Women should be allowed to exist without half the fucking comments being about her body instead of her talents.

Bro, this comment just fucking sent me! That was good, I appreciate your existence and hope that you never step on another lego brick again.

u/Instantcoffees 19h ago

Same comments happen when there's an attractive dude doing something attractive. People are attracted to attractive people doing attractive things, who knew? Why are you surprised and acting like this is some ungodly sin?

29

u/Screwby0370 23h ago

Hey man, people find people attractive. Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t make it some abhorrent act of sin

-24

u/IrrationalDesign 22h ago

I think you lost the plot, but the fact it didn't happen to him does mean 'we men' aren't united by a thought. It's fucking incel shit and being part of a large group of men who together aren't ashamed of that incel shit doesn't make it not incel shit.

17

u/wretch5150 19h ago

I don't think it's very "incel" to find women attractive and to say so

1

u/IrrationalDesign 8h ago

There's a massive difference between 'I am attracted' and 'she's so limber that I am convinced all men must think of having sex with her'.

You don't think the thought men are supposedly united by is 'I'd like to take her on a date'. 

9

u/AyimaPetalFlower 18h ago

It's time for you to turn off the internet and go outside

1

u/IrrationalDesign 8h ago

So you and the boys can continue talking about how much you'd sex the female for being limber? 

1

u/AyimaPetalFlower 6h ago

Who said that

1

u/AyimaPetalFlower 6h ago

You seriously need to go outside. I don't know if you just like don't talk to people in real life or if you live with a screen in your face or what but you are actually acting like an incel. It is not unusual for people to call other people attractive. "Yeah, that woman/man on the tv is hot"

This nonsense you're pushing is literally contributing to incel shit I don't know how you don't see this.

19

u/Kahlil_Cabron 22h ago

Sure, sexualizing a lady sitting at a park eating a bagel is weird.

Sexualizing an attractive lady who does a standing split is not weird or gross. The vast majority of men are gonna take notice of that.

u/thafuq 18h ago

I usually don't, but here I am with my notepad and my pen. Yup I did.

u/LilQueasy69 1d ago

Yeah I was just more impressed with the physics of it, like that's gotta be like a double jointed knee or something right? Never seen nothing like that. But, you know... maybe after I get accustomed to this new idea then we could implement it in uhh, new ways? No wait, you might get your dick snapped off. But still... no wait, ya'll dirty.

u/Xaendro 7h ago

I think you are blaming people when you should blame biology, we don't have a choice when it comes to sexualizing forms we see

u/Effective-Ad4956 6h ago

Ugh, here we go again.

u/jdehjdeh 21h ago

Peach.

Just because those thoughts enter your head doesn't mean they have to be said.

This goes for all people not just straight guys, but let's face it, straight guys are the main culprits.

Don't be sexualising people outside of sexual contexts, it's easy to do and it stops you looking like a basement dweller.

3

u/Instantcoffees 19h ago

The exact same thing happens if an attractive man does something women find attractive. I had it happen to me. I don't care, because I understand that human beings are sexual beings and that there is really no victim when someone finds something I do attractive.

You can either just accept that these are very human thoughts that get blurted out, or you can keep letting it ruin your day for no good reason while you try to let it ruin someone else's day too.
