  That poor bastard yak (or whatever) wandered into the wrong canyon that day.

    “What science?”

    “Throw eight spears at a yak.”

    “Ogg like science!”

  Where is Saddam Hussein? Is he safe? Is he alright?

    Don’t worry, he’s alright. I found him right beneath your comment:

      Is he alright? Looking awfully pale, if you ask me.

  As an atlatl expert (I watched several YouTube videos) they have an upward launch trajectory and seem to be ideal for longer-ranged flat ground engagement. This would suggest more utility for forest and open plains hunting where terrain advantage does not exist.

    The loss of accuracy and more cumbersome handling seems to outweigh the increase in power?

    Seems like I would just want to carry 2 spears, throw one after the other?

      The atlatl darts used in this research were much lighter than the spears, as is usual for atlatl darts. So you can carry more of them. Also, atlatl are darts faster and more accurate - the difference demonstrated here is of energy on impact, which is more important when hunting big game - and of relative differences in performance when elevated vs. even ground.

      As I understand it, the atlatl enabled much more efficient and powerful throwing without much loss of accuracy. A brief search for figures says it can hit a grapefruit at 40m range

      “For an experienced atlatl thrower, the mechanical advantage of the atlatl over throwing with the arm alone is about 6:1. Thus, if you can throw a dart 15 meters with your arm alone, you could throw it about 91 meters with the atlatl.”

  This is the lab behind the poop knife. They are absolutely experts in this kind of thing.

  I need to read the whole paper, but I suspect the weight/wind resistance ratio of the javelin is better, and that the motion of launching an atlatl dart is affected by the downward angle. The railing on the scissor lift likely has an effect, too.

  Is Eren a man’s name or a woman’s?

  source

  • PugJesus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    In both cases last names are used; I believe they’re both men.

  • UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Eren and Erin are scum, dirty names that should be scrubbed from the history books, not the people, just the name.

    Right along with Arron and Aron, they are also fake names and should be deleted.

    Full disclosure, my name might be Aaron

      It’s fascinating that archaic weapons have been tested to that extent.

      Yeah I figured that even if they were first-names it wasn’t obvious the example was about gender differences.

      Eren has great child-bearing hips.
