I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.
Even if I were to agree with this rather obvious trolling attempt.
…yes?
“Type” is a word used to categorize things by shared characteristics, in this context, characteristics shared by the human body?
No, like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_type
Peak reddit conversation.
ah yes the Ayurveda, an excellent scientific take on the medical condition of the body, my back aches because my Adam’s apple is haunted.
What are you trying to say?
you: “is this type of body a body type?”
me: “yes, a type is a type”
you: “no, I meant something really specific” (provides a list of lists)
me: (looking at the list of lists): “this is pure nonsense”

Respectfully — that’s not what you said, though, until now.
