<div>What IS thigh rotation? Is this a thing or just another joke on thighs? [[Special:Contributions/35.13.221.137|35.13.221.137]] 18:23, 9 December 2012 (UTC)NariOX<br />

:It's just a joke. You can't get your thighs rotated (a parody of getting the tires of your car rotated), at least not in the United States. [[User:Smperron|Smperron]] ([[User talk:Smperron|talk]])<br />

:Given the general topic, and xkcd's penchant for math, "phi" is sometimes used to describe rotation, I believe. I think it is around the vertical axis, at least in some 3D modeling software. It is a stretch, but thigh and phi sound similar. [[User:Tryc|Tryc]] ([[User talk:Tryc|talk]]) 14:22, 17 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

I can't tell what's incomplete about the explanation. Someone explain? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.45|108.162.216.45]] 20:49, 12 November 2013 (UTC)<br />

Seems good to me too.[[User:BruceJohnJennerLawso|BruceJohnJennerLawso]] ([[User talk:BruceJohnJennerLawso|talk]]) 02:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)<br />

I thought the joke was about how the one-dimensionality of stick figures' limbs means thigh rotations have no apparent effect. Anyone else? [[User:STEMenjoyer|STEMenjoyer]] ([[User talk:STEMenjoyer|talk]]) 19:43, 14 May 2025 (UTC)</div>STEMenjoyer
