I mean obviously it means those things. Where would you keep them while naked?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I always keep music in my ass. Not technology, just the music.

I played naked frisbee on the front lawn of my college once. I thought it would be effortless but in fact it's extremely painful to have your nuts bouncing around unsupported like that. But I kept at it until the Dean of Students came up to me and asked me to put my clothes back on because it was prospective weekend and there were a bunch of high school students with their parents standing off to one side. I thought I was accurately representing what the college was all about but he thought otherwise.

I felt bad years later when I found out the Dean's brother had been murdered in Mississippi during the civil rights era (they even made a Hollywood movie about this incident). He must have felt great knowing his brother had been killed fighting for black people, and he was busy making stupid white boys put their pants back on.

[-] Rooty@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

We make sacrifices so other people don't have to. I'm sure his brother would not have minded that he has a high paying job and that he can tell stupid white boys to stop making fools of themselves.

I had a similar discovery about kickboxing practice and boxers. It's not fun when you're holding a thigh pad for your partner to practice kicking, and you realize that your legs can transmit energy, much like a newton's cradle.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I thought you were going to say something about naked kickboxing and I was preparing my hardiest "duh".

Retronym.

A new name for something that has changed because of technology. Acoustic guitars and prop planes are examples. Silent movie, black and white movie, antenna televison, etc, etc.

I had a similar problem with a cafe bar doing a "Bottomless Brunch".

Anyway, it turns out it's some weird, trendy new phrase for "all-you-can-eat" or "buffet".

It is not in any way along the same lines as a "Topless Beach".

[-] SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

I thought bottemless brunch was a socially acceptable way to get shitfaced before noon on free drinks.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, it does appear that "all-you-can-drink" seems to be part of the offer in many (perhaps all?) cases.

Anyway, definitely don't start taking off your trousers and underwear.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

They say it's not what you know, it's how soon you know it.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

And how many groups of joggers you run up to join before you know it.

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This reminds me of a time when I was drunk, and said to my mate "Hey, wanna go run naked on the streets?" and he said "obviously". So we were running naked in the middle of the night back and forward along the street, and another mate looks out the window, shakes his head and says "you idiots, without me?". And he also stripped naked, jumped out of the window and joined us. Good times.

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly with how much I sweat while running I wish I could run naked somewhere

They do a naked run every semester at Berkeley the week before finals. Its called dead week, where there's no classes, and its a time for students to cram for their exams, or, you know, run naked around campus.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Where do people keep their keys?

They still wear shoes, right?

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We never understood why one of the local convenience stores advertised this little arm bands that had a pouch built in roughly the size of a wallet. Then we learned the local uni had a big naked run enthusiast community and they regularly invited us you guys from the military base every year they did it.

Mostly people went barefoot but some had on slip ons. Vast majority of people had those arm bands though with an mp3 player or their phone shoved into the pouch, some girls wore sports bras, and some others had what I can only describe as a phanny pack across their middle. My group all wore the arm bands and camelbaks. Good times, would probably kill me to try that again.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

That's just how we did it before mp3 players

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I remember portable cassette players and some mad people running with those.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Or those expensive CD players with supposedly anti "scratch/jump" features.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

If manufacturers specifically marketed those for running, then they're at fault, yeah. Otherwise, if you take the basic idea of how it works, you'd know it probably won't cut it for running. Anti-skip works by basically reading ahead (faster than playback) and caching a few seconds of playback (in a place that's not the disc so it's not affected by vibrations) so that when a sudden shock happens every once in a while, playback will continue from the cache and the normal disc reading will have time to catch up; if however every step you do while running is potentially a shock big enough to disrupt the reading of the disc, the caching just won't have time to catch up.

P.S. Sorry if that sounded a bit rant-y.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

yeah i'm not running with a belt on and a walkman would not be great for keeping my pants up.

[-] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

Back in my day we just called this "running"

[-] Domino@lemmings.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Back in my day we had to run uphills both way, naked, in the snow!

[-] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Damn straight and coach would make you run the whole thing again as a cool down.

Hope this guy hasn't been rawdogging his flights.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

What? Tech? Who cares. Why do we do this to ourselves ? Just get out and do something. Don’t over think it. Don’t make it worse with pointless guilt trips that really don’t add anything to the end goal. Wear a watch, or don’t… and I don’t care if you double back to get one just cuz you want or need it. That shouldn’t be the thing here. You do it the way you need to.

just so long as you’re getting outside and looking after yourself. That’s the goal here.

[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

So, running. Got it.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Inexperienced here, but after a certain age, the flopping and bouncing around becomes problematic.

For all sexes.

[-] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Im old enough to remember when "naked running" meant Streaking. There was even a hit song about it back in the 70s.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Boogidee boogidee

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

All top results on DuckDuckGo for naked running are about the literal meaning of it. Is it actually used as a term for tech-free (but clothed) running? Press X to doubt.

I'd call it "rawdog running" if anything, but that doesn't sound right either.

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'd say it's more like unplugged running…wait a minute…

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Google brings up some running band with brand "Naked".

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 2 weeks ago

Where did he expect to keep the tech devices while naked?

[-] moonlight6205@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Running without music is so boring. I get tired quicker.

[-] f314@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I always run without music! I love the mindfulness of just being aware of my surroundings!

I guess this would very much depend on where you run, though. I would never run on a treadmill without music or a podcast, and running next to traffic would probably also be bad without listening to something.

If you have male genitalia, at least wear a kynodesmē (NSFW educational link) to stop your junk from flapping.

[-] f314@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅

Gotta raw dog your run or you're cooked. Dead ass.

I hate the current slang trends.
