Just how high are you?

No officer, it's "hi, how are you?"

To which the answer is: “As high as a kite.. No, wait. Higher. A GPS satellite? No. Even higher. Voyager 1 should be about right.”

Goddamnit I even did the voice on my head as I read your post. Well done

The outside is the knee. The inside in the eenk.
And the bit on your arm opposite of the elbow is the woble.
naught101@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 1y
The loose bit of skin on the outside of the elbow is called the weenus

Look at me. No, look at me. I need you to know that it's a joke. I spelled the words backwards.

In my defense when I left that comment I was out, didn't sleep last night and am high as frick. I'm tired lol

Lol, no worries. I just didn't want to be that guy who put incorrect data in someone's head forever.

Why, the kneepit of course!
Volcanna@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 1y
We don't call it the elbowpit, so this must be the legpit.
AmidFuror@fedia.io · 8 pts · 1y
No. Leg pit is the taint. The elbow has two sides.

Hey! This is a family friendly establishment!
Please use the polite term: grundle
Sludgeyy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
Armpit is where your arm attaches to your torso.
Behind your elbow is a different pit

klemptor@startrek.website · 3 pts · 1y
I actually do call it the elbowpit
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 1y
Indeed. Careless use of the word we, there.
Etterra@discuss.online · 19 pts · 1y
You mean the knee?
Don't feel too bad. One time I had a brain fart and couldn't remember the word "microwave" and called it the "nukeamajig." I still do, but on purpose now.
GeekyOnion@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y
I would say "inside of the knee," if I'm reading the context right.
neatchee@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Wouldn't the legpit be the pocket created at your hip when your leg is folded against your body?
Acamon@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
Do you mean the popliteal?
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
Knee?
bstix@feddit.dk · 5 pts · 1y
It's called "popliteal" in English, sometimes but uncommonly shortened to "poplit".
cyberslask@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
There is also "hock", but that is mostly used in relation to horses.

Did we ever get an answer to this?

Those orange and brown stripes remind me this Minecraft cat. Such a beautiful color.
OfCourseNot@fedia.io · 2 pts · 1y
Nope, that's an orange/red tabby while op's is a calico, which is also present in Minecraft. Fun fact: except in rare exceptions all red tabbies are males and all calicos are female.
Note: these aren't breeds, but names for the coat coloring.
QualifiedKitten@discuss.online · 3 pts · 1y
Your fun fact is only partially correct. Calicos and torties are almost always female because the black/brown/grey(dilute) and red/orange colors are both located on the X chromosome, so in order to have both colors, they have to have 2 X chromosomes. Male calicos & torties have some genetic abnormality such as XXY or are a chimera. Red/orange females are much less common than red/orange males, but not all that rare, because they have 2 X chromosomes and therefore have to have 2 copies of the red/orange gene to be solid red/orange, while males only have 1 X chromosome, so they only need 1 copy of the red/orange gene to be red/orange.
Another fun fact: All domestic cats with red coats are tabbies. Through selective breeding, some reds exist with a coat that appears solid, but they're still tabbies with the agouti gene, just very low contrasting in the striping.
OfCourseNot@fedia.io · 2 pts · 1y
You are right, it was an oversimplification, 25% is hardly a 'rare exception'.
In my defense I have to say that it was late, I was already in bed, and very sleepy. And I knew that, this being lemmy, some other nerd would come with a more thorough explanation.
QualifiedKitten@discuss.online · 2 pts · 1y
All good! I do a lot of lurking, so you gave me the perfect set up to actually participate! I do a lot of kitten fostering, so I spent A LOT of time reading up on their genetics to try and make sense of things and guess what the father(s) look(s) like. New fun fact: kittens from a single litter don't all necessarily share the same father.
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y
yep! that pic doesn't really show off her coat very well
this pic is from when I fell asleep on the couch and came up to bed and she was all snuggled up like a shrimp and was so snoozy she didn't wake up till after I layed down
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y
So, is this the right one? At least the colors match, but it doesn’t have any stripes.
OfCourseNot@fedia.io · 3 pts · 1y
That's the one.
