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

Edit: See Derpleton from Centaurworld.

[–] FilthyShrooms 36 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] BatmanAoD 6 points 2 months 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 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[–] FenrirIII 3 points 2 months ago

They speak English. Horse is magicked with the ability to speak by going to CW

[–] Pirky 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] captainlezbian 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 11 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] wjrii 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

Giraffe centaurs would be underwhelming.

[–] WorkIsSlow 11 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months 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 5 points 2 months ago (3 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!! 🤣

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 11 points 2 months ago

Bloody One Piece.

[–] Thatuserguy 4 points 2 months 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months 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 4 points 2 months 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

What if he wore pants?

[–] DimFisher 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION 8 points 2 months ago

the left one would look sick with some shades

[–] Etterra 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] udon 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] bruhduh 4 points 2 months ago

Like it or not, this is peak male performance

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Mmm. Yeah. Evolution. Human giraffe hybrid. Let's see the branches of this tree.

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.
