    What if the average alien reaction to humans doing perfectly normal-by-our-point-of-view things with our joints was that "Holy shit, stop that, I will literally pay you $100 for you never to do this again" reaction people sometimes have to Weird Joint Shit

    Imagine though you could make so much money if you were double jointed, you'd just have to go around like 'for 800$ a month, I will Stop'

    I have Ehler's Danlos and i have used this as a method of getting out of uncomfy coversations. just stretch and subluxate my shoulder a little so that my shoulder is bent with my palm facing backwards and it does miracles for people suddenly remembering they had someplace to be.

    Im kind of odd in that regard i guess because whenever people can do weird joint shit i immediately want to ask them a million questions and get them to show me again. I was a very rude kid because of this -_-

    holy shit

    (to clarify, I know I'm hypermobile, it's just that I didn't realize that this in particular was also a hypermobile thing. can I get videos of people trying and NOT able to do this? you can pm it at me if this is cluttering the thread)

    my confirmation for "am I hypermobile" is if you can put your hands in prayer position, but behind your back

    Wait, the prayer hands behind the back isn't normal? I thought it was just yoga.

    I asked my mom if she could do the prayer hands behind your back thing and she immediately said no and that she was not going to try.

    I always figured I couldn't be double jointed cause I don't have any real hypermobility in my hands. Apparently I've got it everywhere else though?

    yeah afaik the prayer hands behind back thing is just a yoga move lol, you probably need to be a bit more flexible than the average joe but its certainly no indication of hypermobility or doublejointedness
