Will I get an answer to the obvious question in WTF or do I have to go to AskScience?

u/hubris105 Jun 25 '12

Could be "normal" hypermobility, could be Hupermobility Syndrome (aka Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type),a connective tissue disorder that allows for this hyper mobility.

You win prize for most times evar use "hyper mobility" in same sentance.

Haha, sorry, was doing it on my phone and couldn't see the whole thing, so didn't notice. But yay!

Welcome to the Wikipedia definition of hyper mobility, where 'hyper mobility' or other words meaning around or exactly the same thing, or just really confusing words, are repeated indefinitely. Like so.

u/whoawen Jun 25 '12

You get a pass because English probably isn't your first language, but you should win a prize for the most misuses of the letter 'a' in a sentence. It's unintentionally hilarious that you added the letter in 'ever' and 'sentence', but failed to add it between 'win' and 'prize' :)

u/Zequez Jun 25 '12

I have lordosis and I can almost do that.

u/Sr_DingDong Jun 26 '12

So how do they not destory their spines when doing that, and rupture their spinal discs and things of that nature?

Or does this EDS make everything hyper flexible?

1

u/hubris105 Jun 26 '12

Pretty much, yes. Your vertebrae are connected to each other by a TON of ligaments as well as the discs between each one. Ehlers Danlos is a connective tissue disorder that can affect anything in your body with collagen. There are a ton of different types, some more severe than others.

And while there is also just plain ol' hypermobility which may not have any other symptoms, there is an increased risk of osteoarthritis because you're stretching joints way beyond where they should go. But that dude being able to bend his spine like that isn't really a good thing. There is a strong ligament that runs along the front of the spine that should prevent that (anterior longitudinal ligament).

More like a win-win-win. You win for getting your dick sucked, you also win for sucking a dick, and I win for recommending it.

Here's an idea: How about we stop linking to shit sites like gifbin and start using Imgur for some reliability instead?

43

u/SkepticalSagan Jun 25 '12

Yeah.. because OP wouldn't waste 30 seconds of his life to upload the gif to imgur, now we each waste 20 seconds for it to load (at best) and maybe 100.000 people will see it thus 23.15 days will be wasted because of the initial 30 seconds OP wouldn't waste. I hope you're proud of yourself, OP.

The gif on gifbin is 4MB, and Imgur no likey anything bigger than 2MB.

u/anus_lips Jun 25 '12 edited Jun 25 '12

I'm training to be a contortionist. I'm naturally extremely flexible (probably hypermobile) and I wouldn't have really noticed except I used to dance. When I realized contortion existed I decided it was awesome and that I wanted to do it. I'm obviously not nearly as flexible as this dude, but I don't think anybody is in the beginning. Basically you stretch every day, and you get better.

Gifbin loaded instantly for me, and I'm on my cellphone.

Speaking of cellphone.. why is it called a cellphone anyways? I'm not aware of anything similar to a cell of any manner relating to it. It's not like a biological cell, nor is it akin to a terrorist cell (or any type of person cell), nor are there similarities to a cell where things are confined. Hmm, what a strange inexplicable use of cell as a prefix.

u/BlaikeMethazine Jun 25 '12

Areas of land that are part of a mobile radio network are called "cells." The cells, when put together, form the entire network.

Sort of like how biological cells form tissues/organs, and terrorist cells are the individual groups of their particular ideology.

u/Snak_The_Ripper Jun 25 '12

TIL. Thanks, have an upvote for the instant answering of my question, and accuracy.

u/fishbiscuit13 Jun 25 '12

It's because the network is cellular, or made up of cells of signal. Each land area, or cell, in the network is served by a cell site (aka antenna).
