Humans aren’t very efficient movers.

Now that’s bullshit.

Yeah, according to that graph a human (on foot) is beaten only by salmon, horse, jet transport, and… humans b/w pedal power.

We’re never gonna beat salmon, they’re pretty much the ideal swimmers. We’re also never gonna beat horses, they’re superb.

I guess all that’s left is jetpacks /j

I mean, depends on how you compare it. A salmon on land is pretty inefficient. 😂

Uhm, horse? Moving 4 legs with hoofs vs. 2 in pendulum and with heels.
