I just saw a video of the hundredth woman in space. Honestly just felt so bizzare that there's humans that have just .... left the planet. Thats insane.

Walking upright. Being able to walk all day.

It's such a BS way to play the game, man. Everyone else is using teeth and claws. Fucking boa constrictors are fucking cool as fuck. Fucking bipeds just walk and walk and walk. Total BS and completely uncool.

It is kind of like a goofy party trick, right? Oooh look, my whole standard gait is gravitationally unstable, but I never fall. Woooow.

Autocorrect is not your friend.

Gait.

I've heard there's no known limit. Presumably you'd have to sleep or die within a couple weeks.

We can also run further than other animals if we're in top shape, albeit more slowly.

Camels can walk up to 100 miles carrying 300kg per day. No human can do that.

A human absolutely could walk 100 miles, and people often have. The weight thing needs to be scaled for body size, but you can carry quite a bit while doing it, too.

The only maybe-counterexample anthropologists talk about is actually sled dogs. Horses run out of steam faster. Presumably they've thought about about camels too.
