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.

Back in my day we just called this "running"

[–] Domino@lemmings.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

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

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

For all sexes.

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.

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

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

[–] f314@lemmy.world 66 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

oh, sorry, I just added a warning.

[–] f314@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haha, no worries! Just caught me off guard

I can’t help but think some guy’s realizing his weird fetish by showing his junk to unsuspecting people on the internet in the name of history education. The visualization is definetely helpful, as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to imagine this, but maybe a drawn image would have been more fitting.

[–] 0xD@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's wikipedia and it's the human body - I don't think that drawings can do it justice as a repository of information.

I don't see anything sexual with it. There's also videos of proper fucking and creampies on some pages - I find those weirdly unsexual as well.

Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

Naturally.

Wh... Why... Why not just wear pants? I know it was ancient times, but didn't they have something? Briefs, a diaper? Anything seems better than stripping your dick to your neck.

[–] thedarkfly@feddit.nl 19 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Now we have elastics and stretchy fabric. I guess it was more difficult to have a firm and comfortable hold with loose fabric.

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 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

So, running. Got it.

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

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

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.

That's just how we did it before mp3 players

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

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 14 points 3 days ago

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

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

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

[–] f314@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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.

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.

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