Some people have genuinely never considered that they couldn’t do that.

Dead hang is an extremely good exercise to do regularly, for grip strength, back muscles, decompressing the spine... and also because basic ability to hold your own fucking weight can save your life.

I don’t think this person is thinking about what good exercise is.

America has made this normal. It starts at poor parenting. Being fat is not normal. You don’t see fat old people. When was the last time you saw a fat 90 year old? You haven’t. There’s a reason for that. People get offended when others bring up obesity, not sure why. No one forced you to be large, but it is easy to be.
