The left one. It's the Giraffe's neck that's long. Not their torso.

Edit: See Derpleton from Centaurworld.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Counterargument: a centaur is a human torso on a horse's neck, so it's the right one

[–] BatmanAoD@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But the human portion has normal human proportions (though potentially scaled up a little). Why would being on a giraffe's body change that?

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Because the one on the right is funnier

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.

That's Derpleton from Centaurworld. Is a weird, but good show. Would recommend.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Centaur World is incredible. Best kids show I've seen as an adult. They need your viewership to make more crazy stuff.

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Nah, just like a normal centaur but with long spindly giraffe legs

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Neither. The neck is the long part, and do horse-based centaurs have horse necks?

Giraffe centaurs would be underwhelming.

[–] WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Fuck, this really opened my eyes. You ruined giraffe centaurs for me. D:

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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!! 🤣

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A Giraffe's shoulder height is like 8 to 13ft, no way ms.curly is only 5'11

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago

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.

bro how did I get sensory overload from a black and white image

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Bloody One Piece.

[–] Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Dogeek@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] portuga@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

Much taller legs

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 week ago

What if he wore pants?

the left one would look sick with some shades

[–] DimFisher@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Officially the first post I really laughed on lemmy! The future seems bright! 🤣

[–] udon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why not scale up the size of the human so it fits with both solutions?

I say the left but double the length of the arms.

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hands would be a lot less evolutionarily useful if they couldn't reach your mouth.

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. He's the centaur she told you not to worry about.

[–] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Like it or not, this is peak male performance
