No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Please forgive me...I'm over 30 and was never a clubber.

In a number of songs, women "get low". In "Low":

Shawty got low low low low low low low low

In "Belly Dancer", they drop down and touch the ground;

Hey, ladies drop it down, just want to see you touch the ground

...

You ain't even gotta drop down if you want to

What activity is being described here? What are these women doing?

The entirety of sexual presenting behavior is lordosis.

So no, there is not more than lordosis here. By definition.

Oh boy this chain has been the cringiest way to describe twerking.

Why would describing human sexual behavior using the proper biological terminology be cringey?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cause OP was asking about getting low while dancing. Y'all took a hard right to another subject.

[–] PetDinosaurs -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What other subject?

This is the exact, scientifically supported answer to ops question.

Lordosis is the name for the behavior the women are engaging in.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you a bit or just never go out? If you would get out more you would realize not everything has to be scientific. It's just dancing and people do it cause it's fun. Dudes twerk too, how does that fit the lordosis definition?

[–] PetDinosaurs 0 points 1 year ago

Op asked a question. Root post answered the question. I added the scientific support.

If you don't think that there is a huge amount of scientific interest in human sexual behavior, you are the one who needs to get out more.

We're also not talking about twerking. That is a dance that is appealing because of it's similarity to the mating behavior that is the answer to ops question.

Because it makes it seem like you are thinking of the people involved first and foremost as objects of biological study, and that you are the kind of person to whom that sort of thinking comes most naturally.
