Mostly directed at you skinny lemmys. As a luxuriously sized north American, it struck me as odd that I could not recall my knees knocking together since childhood. True, I have enjoyed powerlifting since highschool, but still. I can press my knees together just fine seated or reclining. How often does the average Lemmy feel their knees knock together?

2 days“Knock knees” is a predominantly childhood thing that most kids grow out of. It’s not a less-than-luxury-size thing.
Adult peeps with knock knees who have never talked to a doctor about it, please look into PT. That shit can be potentially fixed or at least improved with good ol’ physical therapy.
I had to look up what that even is. So the answer, unsurprisingly, is never. It looks like it might happen if you have a serious muscular and connective tissue atrophy? So really shouldn’t be something that just happens sometimes

2 daysAs a life-long recovering klutz, I sometimes knock my ankles together. But, never my knees.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not. I was a skinny boy who liked to climb and play sports. I can remember quite a few times me knees knocked together as I was growing up.
