It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!.. ever… until you are dead!
Yeah, that’s humans for you
Humans Are Such Easy Prey is an awesome synthwave song that uses this clip in the beginning
The immortal snail.
curious: why would the fast animal consider the weapons primitive?
Maxolx / Kzin / Kilrathi - Always gonna start shit with humans, always gonna have a tech edge, always gonna be arrogant and convinced of their own superiority, always gonna lose.
I want to read more on the stamina of humans vs other species, what’s a good read?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting Here is a starting point. :)
Note, it’s a theory, so there are some arguments against it. :) Things are rarely black and white.
Here is an article that shows some contra points to the theorie, in case you want to have a look at that too.
The evidence for it is rather shallow, realy.
It’s pretty clear that persistent hunting is one of those myths concocted by someone to justify a world view that humans are “more special” than animals and has no more scientific basis than the “science” coming out of the Disney movies in the 1950s about nature.
There is a man vs horse marathon since 1980, 35 kms/22 miles on rough terrain. There were 42 races, 4 times a human won: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon
Yes, but:
Horses are ridden by humans so the horses have to carry not only extra weight of the human, but also the saddle, gear, human’s water, etc.
Horses are mandated to stop periodically and mandated to have periodic stopped vet checks (rules now state that vet stoppage times are subtracted from Horse times)
Humans are NOT mandated to stop periodically and/or have health checks
There are places allowed for humans to have refreshments along the race.
