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

Edit: See Derpleton from Centaurworld.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (2 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Exactly, the left one warps the human proportions while the right one extends the giraffe neck that connects with the human torso. The right one is more natural.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Because the one on the right is funnier

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A giraffe is a horse with a long neck.

A giraffe centaur is a centaur with a long neck.

QED

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

A centaur is a horse with human torso after the neck, so a giraffe centaur is a horse with a long neck and a human torso after the neck. Right is justice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

What if horses are instead giraffes with short necks? Checkmate atheists

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Much taller legs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Isn't a pegasus a bird? Would that mean that they lay eggs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

You may be on to something

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

What in the fresh hell is this? 💀

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Came here to post this

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I think a huge human torso on top of a giraffe could also look funny enough

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (5 children)

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

Giraffe centaurs would be underwhelming.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

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

What if he wore pants?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Now do giraffe fauns. At least giraffe centaurs have those counterbalancing rear legs, giraffe fauns would need to be half as wide as they are tall to have abs strong enough to keep themselves upright. And with those tiny spindly legs they have, even if they do leg day religiously and bulk them up they'll still be teetering about on two little hooves.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

the left one would look sick with some shades

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Like it or not, this is peak male performance

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hands would be a lot less evolutionarily useful if they couldn't reach your mouth.
