    That part of the spine is bent though. When standing up it naturally curves outward.

    Damn, that neck part is doing basically all of the first 180° of bending. Rest of the spine be caught slacking.

      Would you want what your ribcage comes out of to bend significantly?

      Might take your breath away, or break your heart, or both.

    Is this really an X-ray? I thought you’d see all the ribs and limb bones instead of an imaging slice like this

      It might be a slice of a CT scan, so still X-ray, but more and with a lot of post-processing.

      No way, no shoulders. Probably slop.

        It’s a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view “slices” of the image from different perspectives.

        The cartilage connecting the sternum to the ribs is in the same plane as the edge of the spine. Cartilage is radiolucent (doesn’t show well in X-rays) so that’s why there’s only the slightest hint of a ribcage - this slice is well past rib bone.

        Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer’s perspective in the 3d model, so it’s not shown at all.

        It’s not slop. It’s a CT scan, which is why the shoulders don’t show. You can search how CT scanning works, if you want to learn something.

        Snopes claims it’s real.

        It dates back to at least 2016, so definitely not AI. Probably just a type of imaging that you’re not familiar with.

    It does bend just not in that direction.

    There’s no way she doesn’t pay for this later in life though.

    It would be odd to be standing behind a contortionist and see them tilt their head back to look at you while their body continues facing forward.
