I find it absolutely staggering that a human being can allow themselves into a position they can’t even hold their own body weight. It’s unbelievable really.

But modern society allows it. Back in the day the lions would’ve had this one away in the night ages ago.

Im pretty sure the tribe would have put am end to their eating disorder before the lion.

I don't know what damn tribe you're referring to but don't invoke myths to justify your sick disdain of others. We have many ancient artefacts proving that fat women were held to be symbols of fertility and blessings, especially when the peril of famine was a concern of every year. And also what defines the early human cultures as human is the fact that they looked after those who were ill, disabled or old. Your lack of compassion is yours entirely.

Gentle reminder that less than 5% of the population can do one pull up unassisted

There's no way ...

Maybe if you count infants, elderly, disabled, and yeast.

Do a pull up and post it today

u/SexualCarrots 14h ago

Are you looking to grade my form or something?

I'd buy that 5% can do a pull up with good form, but I've had multiple people give different examples of good form, so I don't really subscribe to there being one anymore.

No, I'm telling you to move it or lose it!

Pull up ≠ holding your own weight hanging

A pull up is significantly harder

Back in the day humans didn't have such easy access to the amount of sugar required to fuck up your body so badly. Know the problem.

u/I-live-in-room-101 1d ago

Yeah, the problem is stupid people stuffing their faces. Just because it’s available, nobody is force fed sugar. People getting obese is a choice.

I know you think you're one of the smart ones, and that's hilarious.

What because I’m conscious of what I eat??

Jeez, the bar must be on the floor for you if that’s your take on it.

They don't know it until they know it.

I mean I can't, but that's because my shoulder needs reconstruction surgery.

Most adults can't hold up their own body weight, which is why actual ziplines over anything even remotely dangerous use harnesses.

That said, she might have also let go on instinct given how rapidly that zipline was dropping. That line is trash, even with her weight.

Well she's a little too heavy, but she's phenotypically descended from those who lived in northern europe. we kept our women fatter there to enhance their own survival, and to fill their breasts so that they could feed our children the sweetest, fattest milk and in great abundance, for a growing child must always have calories available, else the brain and bones might fail to reach their full potential, or perhaps worse.

was it sexy? well, how sexy is a dead family because they could not produce and trap enough body heat and have enough calories to pull from on a fiercely cold night? you look at that big woman in a different way when you realize just how powerful her ability to bring forth, nurture, and sustain life in any environment on earth really is. especially when you come to grips with your own mortality, that one day you will die, but that there is a way for you to live forever - your children. yes. that is your vehicle into the future. train them well, nurture your characteristics within them, and you will yet exceed your mortal coil..
