@tlbtlbtlb Maybe think about it for more than just 5 seconds. Or better yet, try it yourself and see how well that works out.

@YonatanCale @robertskmiles @ATabarrok While there are sports like high-jumping that have seen revolutionary new techniques, they are "invented" competitions.
Running was not invented, early hominids specifically evolved with regards to it.

But yes, I can imagine AI tools for analysing & optimising an athlete's form.

[Fisн @MercuryFish_]

@XYHan_ It would not work.
Running is one activity that the human body evolved for specifically.
The robot can only use this technique because it has no complex spine, no compressible internal organs, no need to regulate breathing, etc.

It is not comparable to a human body.

@loopuleasa @pkoo562 The number of posts I've seen genuinely positing that humans could run faster with this technique is driving me insane.
Thank god I found someone with a functional brain.

@word0taku Looking at etymology, this might be a similar case of word origins being
general intensifiers, but can eventually inflect to specify negativity, size, or extravagence.
Similarly:
terrible - terrific
awesome - awful
tremble - tremendous

@thejenkinscomic Oh god, there's an infinite number of opening quotes

I wonder what the North Sentinal Islanders think of the constant starlink satellites visible at night?

Not like satellites are a new thing, but they'll remember a time when you'd only see a few each night. Wild.

@GimmickSlop Ah... Cancer.

@lauriewired Why is it that I see this *Males vs Females* image more than once every month, but I have never seen anyone rebut it with the survivorship bias diagram, even though it's the most straightforward explanation?

Yes, I'm aware that the answer may be recursive.

[man67 @mannest67]

Yeah man just find a guy another guy that’s 7’7, built like a twig and is already experienced with acting
This is fucking ridiculous man

[Fisн @MercuryFish_]

The solution may surprise you...

[Fisн @MercuryFish_]

Actually what the fuck were these emoji clues on loldle lmao

@KrystalWolfyAlt Is that a hoopoe

@dt7_9 I'm not an animator but I bet this would be sick reference material

@DolphinMossad It's fascinating to me that it makes complete sense evolutionarily too. There's no need to develop big ass wings if food is plentiful. But being able to travel further when the population gets high was such an advantage that they all do it now.

[Fisн @MercuryFish_]

I hate that one tell of AI videos is near-perfect framing of the subject. A real video could be shot well and I have to start scouring it for inconsistencies instead of just enjoying the clip. Horseshit.

[Fisн @MercuryFish_]

@ItsMrsRabbitToU @minhir_ I'd prefer phrasing it as "has every right to be on guard", but I respect the take 👌

[Fisн @MercuryFish_]

@Spennser Like a charm

@futoneyako I'm crying at Norway's coast holy moly
Very impressive though
