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

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

…a significant part of the spine does not bend.

My scoliosis would like a word

My neck hurts just looking at this.

[–] booscience@beehaw.org 18 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

None of y’all are horny looking at this?

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 10 points 5 hours ago

No I for sure am

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Naah, it's the wrong way around.

[–] booscience@beehaw.org 6 points 6 hours ago

You prefer the right side ear hole? Weirdo.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

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

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 7 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] scribbler@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

No way, no shoulders. Probably slop.

[–] Zorcron@lemmy.zip 2 points 36 minutes ago

It dates back to at least 2016, so definitely not AI. Probably just a type of imaging that you’re not familiar with.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 21 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 22 points 7 hours ago

Nice ass tho, big dawg

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] pandora@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours 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 😅

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 4 points 5 hours ago

It does bend just not in that direction.

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

[–] Starik@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours 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.

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 hours ago

Full scorpion.

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] stenAanden@feddit.dk 2 points 6 hours ago

Looks like something from a horror movie.
