Is he aware that we physically fucking can’t

? physically cant what?

Bend our ankles like that

Like what???

At steep angles! Bones fuse and prevent that if you don’t do it regularly as a kid. It’s the same reason we don’t climb trees like monkeys, whose ankles don’t have the same restrictions we do

Human ankles don’t normally work like that!

Iirc someone did an anatomical study and people of slavic descent have shallower hip sockets that allow that movement more easily as well.

Yes! This was something we talked about in my physical anthropology class, that like, some people physically cannot slav squat just because of their bones and skeletal structure.

Look until this post started going around I had no idea some people couldn’t do this???

Reblog and tag with whether you can slav squat or not.

I don't know anything about this bone structure preventing the squat argument, and I didn't see anything about it when I tried googling it, so I cannot speak to that. All I could find was different body structures have a harder time with it but could still do it.

But if you want to squat like that you need to increase your flexibility in your glutes, calves, and ankles. You increase flexibility by stretching and then going a little bit further every day. Basically if you are regularly stretching a muscle/tendon it will have greater flexibility, but if you don't it will slowly become tight and rigid until you start regularly stretching it again.

Yeah I don't think I'm going to buy LoZ: TotK. $70 is just too much for me to swallow especially since nothing I've seen about the game makes it worth that price tag. Add in the bullshit Nintendo has been pulling to alienate their userbase and even apparently PUNISHING people playing the game with speed run tricks? Yeah no thanks. Fuck off.
