    That part of the spine is bent though. When standing up it naturally curves outward.

      Would you want what your ribcage comes out of to bend significantly?

    Thats got to be the rib cage holding it straight. Otherwise your ribs would famous, and I dont think you breasbone could stay connected.

    It does bend just not in that direction.

    Is this really an X-ray? I thought you’d see all the ribs and limb bones instead of an imaging slice like this

      It might be a slice of a CT scan, so still X-ray, but more and with a lot of post-processing.

      No way, no shoulders. Probably slop.

        It’s a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view “slices” of the image from different perspectives.

        The sternum is in the the same plane as the spine from this angle, so that’s why there’s only the slightest hint of a ribcage and only the sternum - this slice is well past rib bones.

        Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer’s perspective in the 3d model, so it’s not shown at all.

        Edit: misinterpreted CT slice location.

        It dates back to at least 2016, so definitely not AI. Probably just a type of imaging that you’re not familiar with.

        It’s not slop. It’s a CT scan, which is why the shoulders don’t show. You can search how CT scanning works, if you want to learn something.

        Snopes claims it’s real.
