Officially the first post I really laughed on lemmy! The future seems bright! 🤣
Neither, a centaur has a human torso starting at the base of the neck, the left one has a long neck so clearly not a human torso. The left one has a long torso, so that doesn’t fit either.
Solution: it’d be exactly like a regular centaur but with a different skin pattern
Much taller legs
We’d have to start evolution again because all mammals have four limbs, and four only. That’s why we can’t have pegasus (pegasi?) either. Bummer, I know.
Isn’t a pegasus a bird? Would that mean that they lay eggs?
Pegasus is what happens when Zeus and Loki fuck.
You may be on to something
Biology definitions are not based in causation, it wouldn’t lay eggs just cuz we call it a bird. It might be like the anti-platypus tho, the only bird to give birth to live young
I say the left but double the length of the arms.
Have some Lenny gold
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Why not scale up the size of the human so it fits with both solutions?
It’s funnier this way?
I think a huge human torso on top of a giraffe could also look funny enough
The left one. It’s the Giraffe’s neck that’s long. Not their torso.
Edit: See Derpleton from Centaurworld.
Counterargument: a centaur is a human torso on a horse’s neck, so it’s the right one
A giraffe is a horse with a long neck.
A giraffe centaur is a centaur with a long neck.
QED
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.
What if horses are instead giraffes with short necks? Checkmate atheists
But the human portion has normal human proportions (though potentially scaled up a little). Why would being on a giraffe’s body change that?
Exactly, the left one warps the human proportions while the right one extends the giraffe neck that connects with the human torso. The right one is more natural.
Wat
Because the one on the right is funnier
Also huge tongue
uwu
How does he pick his nose or brush his teeth?
Giraffes have extremely long tongues
😬
that neck
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.
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
What in the fresh hell is this? 💀
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
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 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.
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.
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
bro how did I get sensory overload from a black and white image
Bloody One Piece.
That’s why I read this shit with fan colorings. I think my brain would literally not be able to process what’s going on without it
wat
What if he wore pants?
The right one. A centaur is a horse with a human torso replacing the horse’s neck & head. So it’s one of those humans with the long torso, you know the type.
Like it or not, this is peak male performance
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.
Speaking of Perissodactyla, this guy essentially is a fantasy creature.
