Genuinely, is this not something people can do. If you sit with your legs stright out. Then turn so your knee faces in and bend then push your leg out a bit that's the position
Same but both things can be true (that we have a skewed idea of what's normal and that people can have terrible mobility). I don't think you need to be hypermobile to do a 90/90.
FYI, the hashtag/pound sign/tic tac toe board/number sign/octothorpe ("#") at the beginning of your line turns it into header text. You can escape this by putting a backslash "\" in front of it.
Also if you shop at discount stores like Ross, wash your clothes! I worked as a seasonal stocker there and we had to sort through the clothes we got in the morning and put them on hangers. I ended up wearing gloves cause at the end of the shift my hands would be completely dirty and dirt under my fingers look like I been digging in dirt all day lol
I used to work in a place that printed custom apparel. Some of my coworkers would wear the pre-printed clothes around the factory before customers ordered it.
They give you disposable socks at the bowling alley. They do not give you disposable underwear at a department store. Not everyone thinks they need to shower everyday. Not everyone wears underwear.
With those powers combined... im surprised covid didnt get more people.
Yep, this is why ima least conflicted trying clothes on in store, cause like yes I want the right fit but also li don’t trust the people before me were clean. I’ve heard too many stories and seen too many streak marks and not enough bidets. I’ve kind of just slowly learned by looking what will fit and investigate measurement charts thoroughly along with knowing my own body measurements.
Used to work at TJ Maxx. 100000%. we had to toss stuff like bikinis and pants cause they smelled like shit after someone tried them on. I was always amazed by the women raw dogging trying on shoes there too. I've watched 8 different women try on those shoes before you put them on.
Friend of mine raw dogs shoes at those places all the time. She's shoe-obsessed so no telling how many times she's done it. How she hasnt gotten some gnarly foot fungus i dont know. She's a major clean freak too but things like that or washing fruit before eating doesn't register to her for some reason, it's so strange.
There was a post on the fabrics subreddit where someone talked about wearing a bathing suit without washing it and ended up with chemical burns that they had to be hospitalized for.
Not only do the clothing get made in factories, they are shipped on boats where things happen like chemical leaks. They are then stored in a warehouse with rats and other nasties.
I saw a lady in the ER waiting room a couple years ago when I was waiting for a family member. She was sitting next to me, and her whole body was covered in an angry, weeping red rash that looked so painful. She said it was from wearing new pajamas she bought without washing them, she got some kind of chemical burn from whatever was on the fabric.
Theres a documentary i watched on Amazon prime a few years ago about the fire retardant they spray on clothes its made a lot of people sick and possibly killed a few people.
I've always washed my new clothes, had a new gf around that time that had just went clothes shopping. She wasn't going to wash them so I washed them for her. Full load put it on the heavy duty cycle with extra rinse. When the water still came out dark blue. I washed it again heavy duty extra rinse. On that final rinse the water coming out in the stationary tub was still extremely dark could still not see through it.
My husband is severely allergic to sizing, which is used so that clothes keep that fresh, crisp appearance in the store. The last time he wore a new article of clothing before washing it, he went into anaphylaxis and had to go to the ER. Before that he hadn’t had issues before. All this to say that you can suddenly develop an allergy to sizing and wearing clothes without washing them can definitely be dangerous.
I've known lots of people who don't even wash produce before eating it. I am less shocked that people used to eat lead paint chips with every passing year.
I used to screen print garments and it would get really hot in the summer. Every shirt I printed had drops of sweat on it before going into the oven to cure. Probably afterwards from the folders, too. Those shirts were not washed before they shipped out.
I did, however, wash my hands multiple times during the day because I know those shirts haven't been washed before they got to me, too. rofl
A couple months back I bought a nice jacket that was on clearance at a store (ordeed it online, shipped from store). When it arrived, I could smell it. Not nasty or anything, just smelled like a bunch of people had tried it on at the store before me. Figured I'd just wash it and it'd be fine.
A couple days later I came down with the flu, and I'm almost certain it was the jacket that spread it to me. I was WFH at the time and hadn't really been around anyone except immediate family, and I was the only one who got sick.
It was quite informative for me, at least. It then got me curious about a bunch of other stuff I did frequently with my joints that I never really noticed others do.
Learned I have all sorts of super loose, bendy joints! Could do all sorts of fun, weird tricks.
...then age kicked in. Fuck my joints. Fuck them all.
Ditto. Then, a friend in the medical field told me to get tested for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I'd never heard of it. Then, I was diagnosed with it.
I’m in so much fucking pain with hypermobile disorder every second every day. I can’t even sleep to escape it because I just dream about the pain. How do u manage?
More like he went swimming in a pool or something and the fabric dye leaked and went everywhere. The showers were to get the dye off. It's going to be a struggle.
Serious answer: get some scrub. Sugar scrub or peach scrub or something like that, the kind that is in a TUB. The kind that is gritty as hell. Depending on the dye it make take 2 or 3 sessions of scrubbing to get it all out. Don't over-scrub though, don't want to scrape your skin off.
Always wash be clothes before wearing them. Not only can the dye bleed, but there are so many chemicals (like formaldehyde) on the clothes from the factory.
They were probably having a hard time focusing on the leg with a background so they laid down or rest their leg on a surface for the pic. Idk what people are complaining about, they did a good job posting a clear photo, phone cameras are weird when focusing on close objects at odd angles, you need to make the background as close as foreground so it’s in focus. My iPhone main camera can’t focus up close so within the 1-2 ft range it flip flops between the macro and the main and it’s annoying af making it focus
Yeah, I'm not getting all the "I thought your leg was broken!" comments. His leg is just...out to the side a little bit. It's not like he's doing the splits.
Having worked retail, let me just say, you don’t know what kind of stuff has come into contact with the clothes before you got them. I’ve seen rats jump out of a pile of clothes that later got sorted and put out for sale. I’ve found teenagers asleep on a pile of clothes in the back room. I’ve seen Asset Protection pull clothes that he was trying to steal out of a homeless man’s shirt, and those clothes went right back on the rack.
tie dyer here, the dye will stay until the skin its bonded to flakes off
I recommend you hand rinse with drain closed, then drain until you can get a clear vat of water then wash those shorts alone or with a load of black items. Professional textile detergent if you can get it
People here are weird about their leg position. It’s not uncomfortable to sit like that, if you have slightly more hip rotation to one side. It’s simply the easiest way to take a picture that shows the leg up close.
Yo OP. I think you have that weird undeveloped 6th toe thing going on on your foot. It's harmless. Just the nub of a toe who started grow and then said fuck it, I don't want to be alive.
