        This and uncanny ability to pickup shit on the go. Who the fuck just bows a little and scoops up water in their hooves to drink while running?! WHY AREN’T YOU STOPPING EVEN TO DRINK?!

          And throwing. “Well, at least they’re over there. If they come closer, I’ll fuck them up.”

          … “Did they just yell ‘Heads up, shitass’? What the fuck, is that A FLYING ROCK”

            Ah yes, this. We have instinctual need to throw things, because we literally evolved half of our bodies to do so. Give child a rock and see it flying. Our whole science is relying on “throw shit harder”.

            I mean, at the end of the day what is particle accelerator if not uber yeetmachine?

          I never thought about it but yeah you are right, we can eat and drink stuff while on the move, plus we can sweat and control our body temperature

            Yup, it’s the sweat thing that makes us able to run indefinitely, as long as we’re in good shape. I hate the feeling of sweating, but it’s pretty much magic that with how much heat my body generates, my resting body temperature is actually pretty low, maybe 36.1C.

        I know about humans. A sled dog would not prosper on the savannah. Humans are everywhere. 34% of the global mammal biomass is humans.
