If people had wings and could fly it would be considered exercise and nobody would do it.
this is literally how it works for birds, that’s why you see especially pidgeons and corvids walking so often, they just don’t need to fly a lot so they simply walk.
That can be dangerous in the long term.
I was about to be offended and then I remembered how I got out of breath walking up the stairs this morning. (To be fair, I’m anemic af and almost certainly have a touch of long covid, but still.)
There’s just something about stairs that gets me. I can run a sub hour 10k, hike 15+ miles a day, and my resting heart rate is in the 50s, but stairs always get me winded.
Yes. Burgerlanders are very averse to any level of self improvement that might be difficult. I blame the car culture propaganda more than I blame the people though.
Yeah one time I traveled to Europe and everyone was just running everywhere. Very efficient.
Please stop bad-mouthing Americans, it’s just self loathing at this point. It cannot be that black and white.
If you look at birds like the kakapo, they would’ve had flight in the evolutionary past, but evolved out of it due to lack of predatory threat.
This can be part of Island syndrome, where the dodo also suffered from, till sailors came around and found out they were tasty.
Behold, a feathered biped
Between this, my stripes, and my tail… all things I have genes for, but no activation…
I’m kinda pissed, being human could be far less cringe
Humans do have stripes but we ourselves can’t see them.
Look up Blaschko lines
I’m good on the feathers I read the goosebumps book about learning to fly and it gave me a preview of my trypophobia when R.L. Stine described the feathers growing out of the main characters skin
ETA: it was “chicken chicken” not “how I learned to fly”
I on the other hand am all that is man and will be taking the feathers because I want to look fabulous
Huh? I just read this book and that was not in there. The kids just drank a potion and then could fly, there was no outward difference to them. Maybe you are mixing up a different one, like the chicken one? We just started that so idk how it goes. The cover has the girl as a chicken though.
