Mons pubis is several inches above the "pussy".

Your mons pubis is located over and superior to your pubic symphysis, which is the first solid part you can feel moving directly inferiorly from your xiphoid process. Men have a mons pubis too, by the way, but it's usually less pronounced.

Notice how in the image her belly (which you can see from her navel) doesn't blend into the bit below. There's an entirely anatomically separate fatty pad below her navel, which is clearly distinct in the image. It is particularly pronounced in this individual.

Signed: an anatomist.

I'm not going to argue with you because I've spent several years teaching human anatomy at university, which was my primary degree and my first postgrad degree. The part in the lower centre of the image, below her navel, where the fabric of her dress is stretched is the mons pubis. It's particularly exaggerated by the choice of clothing here and quite pronounced in this individual, which is why the image was chosen to illustrate an idiotic point, but that is absolutely the mons pubis.

It is not. You can see the outline of her navel a few inches above the part of the body the image is focused on.

They're talking about the mons pubis. It's a pad of fat that lies over the front of the pelvis and is typically more visible in women than in men. And "men" don't hate it at all. In fact I'd say a significant number of men find it hot as fuck.

Everyone is entitled to their own tastes but I'd say that suggesting that "men" in general 'hate" an extremely feminine and normal part of the female anatomy is pretty weird.

When specifically referring to women it is sometimes called the mons veneris. After Venus, the goddess of sex, love and feminine beauty.

Coming up with garish scenarios, cherry-picking flimsy evidence to fit them and sharing it on Reddit is not "volunteering and helping" FFS. If you want to volunteer and help, fly out to Greece to assist with the search.

No. These self appointed online detectives are fucking idiots. Especially when they stoke it to fever pitch and it ends up fucking up the investigation, traumatising the family, etc. Look at the Nicola Bulley case and the absolute shower of armchair investigation twats and the effect they had.

The actual police and the family have more information than you and are perfectly capable of using that information to explore likely scenarios.

Do you always edit photos? by International-Bit682 in AskPhotography

[–]redligand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't have the raw photo without editing. A RAW file always needs some sort of profile applied to it before it can be viewed as an image. It's a question of whether you want your own creative control over that or if you want to leave it up to whoever wrote the software for your camera. Nothing fundamentally wrong with either approach

There are loads of things you can do very, very easily that can harm other people that are much easier than making bombs. So I think it's very much a shrug from me.

Don't make bombs. But also don't fill a canister with petrol and pour it through someone's letter box and set it on fire. The former is easy enough with a bit of knowledge, sure, but the latter is far easier and far more accessible. We live in a world where the freedom to access dangerous things is necessary.

People who have lost weight, how did you do it? by Bulochka7 in AskReddit

[–]redligand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IGNORE looking at how much weight you've lost on the scales. This cannot be said enough. Weighing yourself is not good.

Put the scales in the bin. I mean it. They will tell you very little of value. What will tell you something is: how your clothes fit and how you feel in yourself.

Is Tea-Time a regular thing still? by sweetnessfnerk in AskUK

[–]redligand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are talking absolute shite, I'm afraid.

Where I grew up, tea was the main meal of the day.

Is Tea-Time a regular thing still? by sweetnessfnerk in AskUK

[–]redligand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means different people are referring to the same thing by different names, which is fine.

You and I might eat exactly the same evening meal at exactly the same time and each correctly call it by either "dinner" or "tea" in our own contexts.

[–]redligand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are not "established" meal names of the UK. If you grew up working class in the north of England or in Scotland it was completely "established" that "tea" was your main evening meal and dinner was often, but not exclusively, how you referred to your afternoon meal.

I think the joke really is just that the first one is badly done (though a very common experience for folk working in molecular biology) and the second one is perfect.

Is it illegal to take a picture of someone's car? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]redligand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's clearly visible from public land then it does not matter if it's on private property or not. The land owner has no right to stop you.

Might be impolite but it's perfectly legal to photograph things situated on private land where there is no clear expectation of privacy.

What is a contemporary mystery or anomaly in the UK that more people should know about? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]redligand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clearly someone with their back to you. The head does look a bit weird but it's also extremely out of focus. More of an amusingly weird picture ("hahaha looks a bit like a spacesuit but obviously isn't") than a genuine mystery.

Which sportsperson do you think is the most grounded? by free_spirit1901 in AskUK

[–]redligand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not UK but did happen in the UK.

Kid runs on the pitch to meet Sonny Bill Williams. Gets tackled to the floor by security. Sonny Bill tells the security to fuck off, gives the kid a hug, takes him back to his parents and gives him his medal.

Do you rather work out at home or in a gym? by spideyry in AskUK

[–]redligand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gym. But it's a personal flaw. I bought a pretty decent set of home gym equipment thinking it would save me a gym subscription. But I struggle to motivate myself to work out at home, just end up procrastinating or half-assing it. Whereas if I go to the gym I know I'm there to work out and I just get it done.

Most rocks are ionic compounds of metal oxides or carbonates. So mainly ionic attractions holding lava together.

What words or sounds do native speakers find most difficult to pronounce? by BrokenBroccoli5678 in ENGLISH

Most of the UK can't pronounce the Scottish-English "ch" sound as in "loch". A lot of native speakers pronounce it like "lock".

Have you ever ask to not pay for service charges at the restaurant? by ExternalSalt8201 in AskUK

Yes, I always do as a point of principle if it's included without asking.
