The "Asian squat" is a weird thing.
If you're not familiar with it, it's when you squat yourself down to the lowest level possible with your feet flat on the floor.
Here is proof that I can do an Asian Squat:
... I look like an orangutan.
The thing is....
Apparently most white people can't do this.
My challenge to YOU!
If you can do an Asian squat, prove it by posting a picture in the comments of you doing it with your Steemit @ screen name.
Otherwise, I will not believe you.
Unless you are @acidyo, in which case... I'll believe anything you say without question.
lmao , good stuff fam , i been doing that all my life lol , hahaha , this is too funny

Kidding aside, there's no way you're not on your heels with the knees that high and feet that far apart. Congratulations! :D

Back when toilets, washing machines, poker tables or modern amenities were not yet available -- that's how we did almost everything: taking a dump (hole on the bathroom floor, dont ask me about the plumbing i have no idea), washing clothes (a big basin and a very small foot stool to sit on or just do the squat), cock fighting or gambling with dice/coins on the ground (men huddled together squatting -- probably so the wives wouldn't see them as they were much lower than the fences!), it just seemed a natural sitting position for our small frames..

It is a natural position. Our bodies are made to work in that position.

OMG if you weren't Asian that would sound so racist lol XD
That's an interesting historical lesson though. Thanks :D

Steemit is growing very quickly! One way you can help the community to grow as a whole is spreading the word. Steemit was recently featured in Yahoo Financial News read about it here https://steemit.com/steemit/@wvm/steemit-community-making-it-to-yahoo-financial-news be sure to follow me @wvm thanks!

Not quite @shayne this is a post trying to help the Steemit community. The article was made about you. It's about Steemit itself. The only spam here is in a can somewhere in some market.

Didn't see my name in there. It's spam. Your comment is completely irrelevant to the post. What you're doing is going to get you flagged by some of the more malicious users here (not me, btw -- I'm actually looking out for ya)

So @shayne, if your name was in there you would feel differently right? It's cool...I stopped spreading the word on it. If people want to flag me so be it. You know life is short and beautiful to be upset over such things... best of luck to you my friend.

If my name was in there then it would have been about me in some way, which is what you said earlier. The way you did it was to try and make it appear relevant to my post... which is about Asian squats and how white people apparently have a problem doing them.
Did you know what this post was about before you made that reply? I'm just curious at this point.

@shayne, what I mean about it being about you is... it's about all the people in the Steemit community. You are part of that community so by extension it's about you. I was just singled out with 2 other people which I hyperlinked in the post. Just was happy to be showcased... and promoting it... but seriously enough time spent on this, I stopped and in fact will never post a comment with a link again other than my signature which I see many Steemians doing... so yeah man let's just drop this. There are so many serious things in the world to be upset about instead of a blog comment.

Sounds good.
And I'm not upset, btw, unless you are upset lol
Cultural norms detailing the do's and don't's of Steemit do not exist in an easily accessible form.
I do my best to post content that can help new people, but I am just one account, and a small one at that. I do not blame you -- it's not easy information to get, and the norms here are shaping up to be very different from those of other social media.
Take care.

Man... this isn't going to go over well on Steemit.
Just a word of advice. It's time to do some more reading and less spamming.

Sure but I thought i would spread the word about an article that is positive to Steemit. So sure I understand because I was singled out I think you see it as spam but I was sincerely trying to spread the word about the community.

Do you see how posting a comment with a link that is completely irrelevant to the original post is spamming?
Steemit is a more authentic community than others online right now.
Would you go up to someone who just made a presentation and try to get them to look at some document that was completely unrelated to their talk? No.
I hope you have taken this as a learning experience, because I wouldn't want you to get flagged when you have a good intention, as you proclaim.
It's just that you should probably try to build a relationship with someone before trying to get them to click on stuff. That's all.

Totally understand. As I said the topic of the article was about Steemit's growth which I thought anyone in the community would want to read about. At any rate as I said, I'm not posting about it any longer in fact decided not to post any links at all... so all is good. If people want to flag me so be it. I'm not doing it any longer. And like I said life is too good and sweet to worry about being flagged. So a sincere best wishes man... I mean it.
