Could you pass me that thing from the top shelf? I'd jump up there but my knee is shot.
Yeh but you should see me hunt.

I've fucked my knees because I wanted to be a Velociraptor

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. Man walks like dinosaurs. Man destroys knees.
Possibly related: I can walk on lego no problem, when I was a kid I even used to walk carefully below a holly tree in my backyard barefoot, like with all the spiky fallen leaves. Probably wouldn't do that now mind.
This is one of the dumbest moments in the entire franchise.
But then Jurassic World saw this scene and said, "You thought raptors couldn't get dumber than talking in a dream sequence? Hold my beer."
PT would probably fix that. You probably have limited ankle mobility and probably fucked up a muscle or tendon behind the knee. Could be a multitude of problems.
I gave myself chronic neck issues when I head banged in middle school to Guns n' Roses. So it wasn't even a heavy band like Megadeth or whatever. Stupid stupid stupid. Now near the age of 40, I had an MRI done and it revealed a degenerative C6. lol stupid stupid stupid.
Unless you were doing this all day every day for like years I doubt this is the reason your knees are fucked up.

That's rough, and all for Guns n' Roses as you say. Hope that eases up.
This got me lol.
Homie this doesn't even crack the top 100 of weird shit I've seen here. In fact I'd suspect all of us have some real dumb shit we still do as adults because we did it as a kid.
Some guy on YouTube who does Medieval lifestyle videos was going on one time that humans actually naturally walk more on the balls of their feet, but shoes and hard floors have changed our gait to avoid strain. Interesting if true!

The fuck?! Strutting like it is 100% natural and that jump at the end blew my fucking mind.

She asked if it was alright to write it down on the formal notes and it was pretty funny seeing her try to keep a straight face.
It's more that it's been triggering and irritating something else, causing a nice chunk of pain every so often after having more sedentary working weeks or long travel. It was just a pretty face-in-hands moment when I realised and caused a good amount of laughter with the women there. It's just some stupid thing that thankfully can be fixed with a few specific exercises over time. The good news is there's no sign of other knee issues.
Though I'll miss my weekends driving out to the forest to run free. I see humans run and I can't relate.
My old physiotherapist was Chris Pratt so I have issues trusting them.

It's insane how much physiological shit hits you when you approach/pass 30, based entirely on shit you dig when you're like 8-15
Everyone ever should go to a physio when they hit 16 and take a bunch of advice for the rest of their life

I am humbled. That's one of the coolest things I've read.
Thank you.
Word.
You were the dino you needed to be.
Rolling lmao.

I just read it the other way and lost it.
It's all good, I'm just happy it can be fixed.
This is so true. I played an absurd amount of ddr in my teens and even have my own machine. It absolutely destroyed my knees/hips

You're saying this to the person that ran around the woods as a Velociraptor as a kid.
Reading the studies, they're interesting at the very least. Always worth floating so thank you.
Do not be ashamed to be velociraptor. We all have our talents. I can purr like a big cat and laugh without breathing. Thankfully there are no load bearing bones in my throat.
Given you spent so much time on the balls of your feet, I do wonder how shapely and strong your calf muscles are.
That's Norwegian for ya. Actually, that looks quite impressive due to how well coordinated her movement is. Perhaps she is a four wheeler born in the body of two wheeler.

I got off lightly honestly.
You thought they actually brought back Velociraptors for the new movies?
Skateboarding and running crosscountry in my teens absolutely fucking melted my knees. I'm 31 and my knees are constantly popping and cracking. It sucks. I'm thankful I haven't had to have surgery yet but I wonder what my 40s will hold. š
But it was also a lot of fun back in the day, not gonna lie.
