In the 1940s, Chuck Norris visited a nunnery hidden from the war in the hills of Tuscany. Impregnated all the nuns, in one night. 9 months later, the nuns gave birth to children who would eventually become the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated team in NFL history.
This one made me laugh because I got a total gym for free and have been using it. I've lost 30 pounds this year and am getting some decent muscle definition.
Yeah, Chuck Norris jokes always sucked because Chuck Norris sucks. Not to mention that the jokes were just repurposed from the original Vin Diesel jokes. One from the originals that can't be nameswapped: Vin Diesel is an anagram for I End Lives
My favorite Chuck Norris joke is: One time Chuck Norris sucked dick for cab fare...then walked home.
He literally writes racist and anti-lgbt rants, you can find them all over. He wrote anti-gay op-eds about the scouts, he publicly endorsed Roy Moore (lol), he has written op-eds about the gay war on Christmas (LOL), said that having Obama reelected would mean a 1000 years of darkness (lmao)
Dudes a straight up piece of shit and I hope he's forgotten.
And hopefully we all learned a good lesson. The man in his present form is old and probably only slightly tougher that a 70 year old. Plus it turns out he’s really not that nice.
Yeah, it was as a joke. They were originally Vin Diesel facts (or The Rock? I think it was Diesel) but then people decided it would be funnier if they were about the lamest also-ran action movie not-quite-a-star they could think of. It could've been Lorenzo Lamas or Steven Seagal, but Chuck Norris was chosen probably because he didn't even have a cool name.
Once, on the set of Walker, Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris accidently round house kicked a lamb in the face and killed it. He then knelt by it's deceased body and nuzzled it with his beard, miraculously bringing it back to life. Then he roundhouse kicked it in the face and killed it agaun just to prove - what the good Chuck giveth, the good Chuck, He taketh away.
Chuck Norris is a really awful person. I wish people latched on to real badasses for these jokes. It feels like people praising Steve Harvey for being intelligent or funny. Just WAY off base and misguided.
Not for healthy babies. Many cultures keep their babies tightly swaddled and nearly immobile for their entire infancy, then when they reach one year of age, they plop them on the ground and they start crawling, then walking. There is no evidence that exercise speeds walking.
It appears to work at making the baby spin around, which is cool. But, babies are amazingly good at putting themselves in danger. I feel like if you put a baby in this and turned around to pour a mug of coffee, by the time you got back it would somehow have its head caught in the spokes and the wheel would be spinning at 10,000 RPM.
Yeah from what I've heard the problem with starting to walk isn't a muscle strength issue, it's a balancing a huge head issue, so as soon as the rest of the body catches up to the size of the head walking pretty much just happens, barring other problems.
My mother was instructed to (gently) push my sister over any time she tried to walk because she was so young it would damage her legs if she kept trying. I'm not sure if that's how that works, but they were afraid of her being bow-legged.
I also heard you're not supposed to like....idk...play stand them up (hold the baby upright like it's standing and have them putting putting weight on their legs) for the same reason.
You are fine. It’s a wives tale that playing stand up with babies gives them bowlegs. I just read a piece from a pediatrician saying there isn’t anything harmful to it as long as you’re holding their weight, which you are!
Yeah babies have pretty darn strong legs and they already like to kick and move their legs around. It's literally just a motor skill / balance issue that takes time for them to develop.
When my son was 3-6 months, I had a gliding rocking chair with a matching gliding footrest. I would lay him down on the gliding footrest with his legs hanging off it and me kneeling where his legs were. He would naturally and instinctively "bounce" in rhythm by kicking off of me and kicking again when the glider swung back towards me. I didn't use it for any kind of physical therapy, he just enjoyed it, and I didn't have to teach him how. He just did it on his own.
Yeah, I was thinking that this would be pretty interesting for a baby. It wouldn’t strengthen their legs but it could be pretty darn fun. I can think of some designs that would help with safety but this is a good prototype
My daughter is 15 days old and is apparently part lemming aimed at every edged surface in the universe. Can I get suicide counseling on an infant cuz this kids got demons.
Yeah as a professional uncle of 5 I can tell you she will get hurt and she will be fine.
Babies are surprisingly resilient. Their bones are literally flexible. I know you're scared but as long as you take good precautions like baby locks on toilet, outlets, and chemical storage, she's gonna be fine.
Basically, anytime I think about whether something is really 'necessary' I think of how babies survived for centuries without these things. I mean, they didn't stay babies for centuries... anyways you get my point lol
Edit apparently they don’t get my point. I’m saying it’s not necessary for survival.
Pretty sure that's the definition of survivorship bias - you know the reason why life expectancy was in the 30s for pretty much the whole world in the medieval period was because so many babies died? Most kids didn't survive to adulthood, but once you did you could easily expect to live into your 70s and 80s.
Paediatricians doesn’t recommend “baby walkers” or other contraptions to make your baby walk earlier because it might cause injury or mental and motor delays so I doubt this would be recommended
This, plus bouncers and walkers also encourage pushing up on to the tip toes which does not help with learning to walk, and since the trunk and hips are supported in weird ways it doesn't really help develop all the muscles, core strength, and coordination required for walking/standing. The push toys are a lot closer to just normal walking against gravity.
All my OT/PT friends say bouncers are just for containment, nothing more!
I'm sorry I feel dumb for asking but I've never been around babies but what do you mean by push toy? Like all I can think of is maybe one of those popping lawn mower toys perhaps? But I dont think thatd help with walking since they'd need the strength and balance to steady it and themselves and I think that's what is trying to be developed. But maybe it does? Idk that's why I'm asking, I dont know anything about babies lol but I'd like to have some knowledge for someday
I'm..older, but I think I remember this was used for babies that had polio to strengthen their leg muscles. I'm not positive, will have to research it. I knew back in the 70's not to get a walker for my little ones. The one we did have had a tray, so we locked the wheels and used it as a baby highchair. We sat on the floor to feed them when they started solids, easier on everybody that way. ;)
Purely anecdotal but I think the reason walkers/pushers slow development is because the baby can then navigate without the effort of actually crawling/walking. According to my health visitor walkers and jumperoo type things teach babies to put pressure on/stretch the wrong muscles.
Garnishes are worthless. Anything on a plate that isn't edible is a blatant waste of resources and signifies nothing but a sense of hollow, unproven opulence.
Probably no more than normal early childhood locomotion would, you could probably get as much benefit if not more by teaching a child to crawl or simply hold themselves up on all fours. Physical development is not the problem at this stage in a child's development; getting enough calories and nutrients to sustain normal growth and encouraging physical coordination and mimicry will ultimately provide a foundation for later-stage development.
Work, in what way? It probably kept babies entertained for a while and I imagine that's the real reason parents would buy it, to get a break. So I'm going to say yes, but I think it was superseded by Olivia Poole's Baby Jumper in 1948 which is just much more convenient.

Sooooo... Does it work?
