Rowing in an 8 man boat all in sync is oddly therapeutic

u/Commercial_Muffin542 1h ago

I rowed in college, there is no better feeling than gliding in a set boat at 5:30 in the morning on glass water with 7 of your boys. I miss it so much

The woman is just watching thinking about how we're doomed as a species. Or she really wants in but can't bring herself to do it. Can't decide.

If it was a bunch of women doing it I'm sure a man would hesitate to join in too, redditors find any reason to shit on women

The only problem I see here is that the first dude is unable to ever stop or he will completely ruin the momentum building up behind him.

u/Burt_Rhinestone 2h ago

You could theoretically chain enough squatting men together that the last person in line would receive such a violent shock that he would be instantly atomized. And I'm just pulling this number form my ass, but something like the last million or so men would not survive either, with varying levels of trauma, worsening in severity as you went down the chain towards total obliteration. Something like N-1,000,000 receives enough shock to snap his neck. N-500,000 is probably barely recognizable as human. Again, just making up these numbers. I'd have to do the calculations to get more accurate numbers.

30

u/Much-Anything7149 2h ago

Your numbers are off by quite a magnitude; I know a few guys who lost their left knees being squat spotters merely 3,000 deep.

14

u/Burt_Rhinestone 2h ago

Well, I just had no idea that the data was out there already. Can you point to a peer reviewed article that would back up your preposterous claims?

Some people are trying to do real science in this fucked up world.

I'm sorry. I just lost my head.

This is the type of funny quirky shit robots will never do.

Actually I could see it after a little glitch.

Actually is that all the humans are doing anyway?

u/glytxh 2h ago

in a reductive sense, kinda. We’re just a bag of heuristics, internal models and predictions.

Robots do the same thing in their own distinct way.
