Thumbs:
Means you have to do work and write shit
They get sprained easily
You have to use them for manual labor sometimes that's boring and uninteresting
Tail:
Supreme balance when running and jumping
Able to smack people with it
Can use as toy to chase
Don't have to do any of the shit people do with thumbs and just have fun fucking around all day

Yeah it's pretty clear tail wins
Without thumbs the NS karma system would be fucked. What would it be, tails up?
About two years ago I had an idea that I put out to a few skiers and snowboarders that is along this line. I called it the "Heavy Hand".
The idea is that you wear one mitten that is heavier(weighted) than the other. You use this "Heavy Hand" to generate, slow, or alter your rotations. So far none of them, to my knowledge, have investigated or tested this technique.
When you think about ski tricks, it's all physics-based. Bringing in a mass that could be used to alter rotations and spin rate could be next level. Think about a person doing a left cork 7 with a weighted mitten on their right hand. Mid way through the spin they take the Heavy Hand and drop/punch it in the opposite direction.
I did a bit of research and there doesn't seem to be any competition regulations regarding the weight of your equipment.
I hope by putting this idea out to the Newschoolers community that someone will start experimenting on trampolines, dry slopes, etc. to see if it is possible to drastically alter corks with the Heavy Hand technique.

hm that's actually kind of interesting, and it reminded me of my very casual snowboarder buddies when they ride-- their back arm is always waving to and fro behind them for balance or whatever
so idk, maybe you're onto something here haha. interesting to think about at the very least
They did an experiment with figure skaters holding hand weights, at first they spun faster but then they adjusted to the weight

Cheetahs used to be my favorite animal when i was a kid bc i was obsessed with being fast in sports and in track and field.
the physiology of a cheetah running at full speed is insane. There was a bbc life of mammals epoisode where they showed a cheetah try to jump in the air to catch a bird that was flying away and the cameraman had to readjust the camera and point it much further upward in order to keep the cheetah in the view bc it jumped like 20 feet high just off its hind legs.

You mean like within one spinning maneuver, they went faster than normal but then evened out? Or it helped their spins for a while and then they just got used to the weight?

They were trying to see if a quintuple axle was possible. They gave them weights for each hand to have more force when they pulled their hand sin.

Leopards would probs be way better in the park. They have special backwards claws for climbing and jumping. Cheetahs are more suited to slalom racing. Tigers would slay spines in Alaska.

Hmm okay. So maybe you could use the weight, set the spin chucking some tornado of a spin and THEN let go of the weight..?

I think the snow leopard in the himalayas has the longest heaviest tail because it literally has to balance itself jumping down cliffs and shit.
Also, using poles is in a way similar to having a tail when you think about it.

I saw that video and it was pretty funny to see them say skiers can only do quads not "quints" while playing a video of spaghettli doing an 1800 which is the figure skating definition of a quint
Ngl a kangaroo tail would be dope too. When kangaroos fight they jump up on their tail to kick the other kangaroos but imagine if you could apply that to skiing and landing backseat is no longer a problem

I saw a program yrs ago on kangeroos that said if an adult kangeroo stood on its tail and kicked a human in the stomach it could kill them.
kangeroos can be up to 200 pounds and they can jump like 30 feet in one jumb so its pretty obvious their legs are jacked to the tits
theabortionatorDamn, I guess the secrets finally out.
My younger bro got his gf prego in like junior yr hs and got an abortion without telling either her or my parents. Its kind of sad bc this girl would have died to marry my brother and have his kids but they eventually broke up. I wonder if in retrospect she wishes she had sacked up and given birth to their kid, maybe they would still be together but if not she would at least have had a kid with the love of her life to raise and love.

anywho. Abortion is bad.
Huh, would've thought someone who's so obsessed with people killing themselves would be pro abortion

1.Most jr high/high school relationships don't last regardless of kids or not. 2.I'm sure being a mom from early HS on would be pretty fun too. 3. Likelihood of any of the above stuff happening anyway?
little1337Huh, would've thought someone who's so obsessed with people killing themselves would be pro abortion
Im not obsessed with anybody killing themselves who doesnt deserve to be told to kill themselves.
i got mad bc some assholes on ns kept badgering me to post proof of where i went to college, which resulted in me getting doxxed and then these assholes told me they still didnt believe me.
If you honestly think these assholes didnt deserve to be told to kill themselves after i pretty much obliged them and took time out of my day to do what they wanted me to do (cap my diploma) ur pretty fucking stupid.

Good points. Idk. I think the age where everybody believed that adult intelligence was 100% determined by how hard you studied in hs and college is rapidly dying as more and more people realize that intelligence is pretty much more genetic than height is.

or, hear me out, let them troll on the internet and don't post your personal information?
little1337or, hear me out, let them troll on the internet and don't post your personal information?
I did ignore it for a while but right b4 i posted my diploma a bunch of decent members jumped on the “show proof” bandwagon (albeit respectfully) so i was more listening to these guys bc ghey were decent members who i respected.
i couldnt care less what stick bundles like milfhunter think. Trust me.
