Why not scale up the size of the human so it fits with both solutions?
It’s funnier this way?
@ObviouslyNotBanana maybe the first one
Hands would be a lot less evolutionarily useful if they couldn’t reach your mouth.
They still could, you would just need to bend your head down to reach em
What in the fresh hell is this? 💀
That’s Derpleton from Centaurworld. Is a weird, but good show. Would recommend.
I felt ridiculous watching it but it was so good. It’s the sort of show I plan to pull out to be the fun aunt alongside Avatar. I didn’t expect for it to make me cry but it did
Centaur World is a story about a war horse that accidentally falls into Centaur World full of happy cartoon centaurs that happen to speak horse or whatever.
They speak English. Horse is magicked with the ability to speak by going to CW
Centaur World is incredible. Best kids show I’ve seen as an adult. They need your viewership to make more crazy stuff.
Came here to post this
Neither. The neck is the long part, and do horse-based centaurs have horse necks?
Giraffe centaurs would be underwhelming.
Fuck, this really opened my eyes. You ruined giraffe centaurs for me. D:
But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be. If it was the torso that was replaced they would look more like satyrs.
But in a centaur, the human torso is placed where the horse neck would be.
Yes, with a perfectly normal human torso. Put a human torso in the same spot and…
BOOOORRRING!! 🤣
lol
A Giraffe’s shoulder height is like 8 to 13ft, no way ms.curly is only 5’11
You’re not wrong, but I was very much regretting my decision to search for giraffe centaurs at all, and Ms. Curly was a safe enough option with the proportions I was trying to communicate.
The torso is a tricky concept, there’s no good anatomical definition that makes sense. Is the pelvis included? The whole axial skeleton? Everyone knows the general idea of where the torso is, but it’s hard to define with precision.
Left is more natural. Evolution wouldn’t waste time lifting that much mass making the creature top heavy unless it had an absurdly good reason to.
Mmm. Yeah. Evolution. Human giraffe hybrid. Let’s see the branches of this tree.
Officially the first post I really laughed on lemmy! The future seems bright! 🤣
the correct answer is both.
the one on the right bullies the more feminine one on the left who’s always sticking his nose in other people’s business.
What if he wore pants?
The left one. It’s the Giraffe’s neck that’s long. Not their torso.
Edit: See Derpleton from Centaurworld.
How does he pick his nose or brush his teeth?
Giraffes have extremely long tongues
😬
Also huge tongue
uwu
Counterargument: a centaur is a human torso on a horse’s neck, so it’s the right one
But the human portion has normal human proportions (though potentially scaled up a little). Why would being on a giraffe’s body change that?
Because the one on the right is funnier
Exactly, the left one warps the human proportions while the left one extends the giraffe neck that connects with the human torso. The right one is more natural.
A giraffe is a horse with a long neck.
A giraffe centaur is a centaur with a long neck.
QED
What if horses are instead giraffes with short necks? Checkmate atheists
A centaur is a horse with human torso after the neck, so a giraffe centaur is a horse with a long neck and a human torso after the neck. Right is justice.
Centaurs don’t have horse necks so neither is right. It would be the body of a giraffe with a human torso starting where the neck would start
But is the human torso going to be hella long like the example on the right? That’s not a neck. That’s a long abdomen.
Nah, just like a normal centaur but with long spindly giraffe legs
this
Giraffes are Artiodactyla like cattle so they would be closer in minotaur style than the Perissodactyla centaur style. Two hoofed legs, human upper body, long neck and giraffe head.
the left one would look sick with some shades
Now do giraffe fauns. At least giraffe centaurs have those counterbalancing rear legs, giraffe fauns would need to be half as wide as they are tall to have abs strong enough to keep themselves upright. And with those tiny spindly legs they have, even if they do leg day religiously and bulk them up they’ll still be teetering about on two little hooves.
