"exceeds human performance" .. in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's such a weird phrasing. They make it sound like you can give it nails and a hammer and it can frame a house better than a human.

I mean have you seen inspection videos on YouTube? Homebuilders are doing a half assed job these days.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago

As if there was ever a golden age of craftsmanship.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Those are addictive.

Me watching: " oh yeah, that's ridiculous, how'd that pass inspection? "

Why are all the window frame welds breaking?

[–] spez_@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Fuck humans they're always dodgy. Bring in robots already

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe eventually

And also since when human performance are all the same level

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

When I was taking classes on similar things, 'human performance' was generally defined as how well an expert in a given task performed.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

in a general sense we are.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely not. Especially when it comes to speed and endurance.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean like we don't pull carriages with even our top athletes but we will with a runt of the litter horse.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No you absolutely do not! You never put more than half the weight of the horse on it's back. I just recently went riding and since I'm not a fucking lardass I got to ride a good horse.

Movies and TV are not real life.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

carriages can be of all types of sizes you know but if a humans pulling it we call it a rickshaw and we would never attach a horse to it because it could not handle its power.

[–] k_rol@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

It gives the deathgrip a whole new meaning
