It’s fun to watch my kid attempt a cartwheel, he turns about 1 radian and then folds onto the floor. He’ll get it right one of these days, but I think I like part better
The good old days

True that I see less people doing this, but there are some that keep it alive, my sister still randomly cartwheels everywhere she goes, she even learnt how to do it while holding her beer, and without spilling it !
jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Ok, that I’d like to see.
okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, disbelieve. We’re gonna need to see a gif or something of your sister doing this.

That is the most arresting thing I’ve heard all day.

I’d do a cartwheel if I had the body of an 8 year old, I can’t even do the dishes without backpain now

Im not a women but im gonna hit a cartwheel on my way to work tomorrow. Hopefully I can still do it and don’t fall into the mud.

Hopefully I can still do it
Honestly, I used to do a lot of cart wheels as a boy, because fun. Now my shoulders and back say ‘uh, sir, you’re like 200 lbs, gtfo’

In my country a woman suspected of murder did a cartwheel while waiting to be interrogated and the police basically took that as an admission of guilt
okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Pretty sure cops regardless of country will take any out of the norm behavior as an admission of guilt. They just be like that

I recently used this as an example of how mass surveillance escalates suspicion. If you drive home from work the same way for months and then change your route, that can be grounds for suspicion and investigation. Nevermind, you just charted a better path home.
And as law enforcement works in the US, post PATRIOT act, if you can be investigated under general suspicion, rather than for a specific crime. And you will be charged for any crimes discovered. And if you are in sight of the police (e.g. in an ALPR database) then every possible set of behaviors and conditions are suspicious.

Maybe the victim was murdered by a cartwheel.

It’s a cultural thing. You wouldn’t understand.

Maybe, hopefully, OP just doesn’t spend as much time with girls as he did when a little boy. Anyway random cartwheels are definitely still a thing.
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 month ago
He definitely said in the post that women don’t do random cartwheels, not girls.
ccunning@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This is because society is evil and killed the cartwheel impulse in their soul.
CorrenteAlternata@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I think OP was saying that as they grow up girls stop doing cartwheels. Because grown girls don’t do cartwheels. I think you should see it as a “we live in a society” meme

Can confirm, have 6yo daughter obsessed with perfecting her cartwheels.
WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Tell her that most girls lose their cartwheel magic as they get older. Encourage her to keep it up and to not ever be afraid to do one!

I saw a girl under 10 do cartwheels today. First time in a while.
frittoBee@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I work at a primary school and I see random cartwheels almost every day.

I work at a Home Depot. I also see cartwheels all the time.

I certainly wouldn’t put it past home depot to hire elementary school kids!

I think you left off a few question marks.
what a weird comment
Can you elaborate? I am mega curious what you find objectionable since this comment has a very controversial vote score. Genuinely curious, please.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Transition, then do a cartwheel in a skirt.

that reminds me. when I was a kid I tried to do a cartwheel repeatedly until I fell in a really painful way and then after that I’d just watch others do cartwheels enviously
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Read this, quite literally did a cartwheel in an act of whimsy and solidarity against the encroaching darkness before responding.
(It was actually kind of fun and my back only hurts a tiny bit. One handed cartwheels used to be the preferred move, but fuck no).

I had a co-worker in her early 30s, who was a former gymnast, and also coach gymnastics. She’d not only occasionally knock out a few cartwheels in the hallway, but she could also still do aerials.

These days, they also skip the light fandango.
RBWells@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I still cartwheel. One trick pony in that way, I can only do the cartwheel. When kids are doing them I will casually throw one and it always amuses them. I’m near 60.
They don’t take much strength, it’s inertia that carries you over. Hand, hand, foot, foot.

Cartwheels get replaced by Fossamax.

My wife does spins whenever she’s wearing a dress that will float out. I probably would too if I fit in such a dress.
Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I feel like dresses are probably the most forgiving piece of clothing fit-wise.
