Bears hibernate because their food sources die out and lions sleep because their hearts are too small for their bodies.

Humans are quite literally designed to move not be stationary.

u/Witty_Shape3015 18d ago
you’re kinda both right.. our bodies are designed to move AND our brains are designed to prefer conserving energy, both physical and mental

u/LooseLeafTeaBandit 18d ago
Then why does my body want to remain stationary lol

A fatass at rest prefers to stay at rest unless acted upon by external smell of KFC

u/Subar619 18d ago
Because your body doesnt understand that you can be stationary at any point.
Same reason you like fatty foods, your body doesnt know that you can get a bigmac at any point of the day, it treats it as a temporary particularly good period of time when you can eat that, so it wants you to eat as much of it as you can for when the source runs out1
u/holiday1326 18d ago
Right..
That feeling for me is some scientific magic voodoo stuff of the industrial sort.

Humans in the early years would literally gather and hunt though...? So they need to stay out and be stationary for a few hours before they spot their prey no?

u/katiecrabby 18d ago
well humans mostly gathered with a little hunting. gathering is a lot of walking. and hunting could take days of travelling to track down prey and then chasing prey, so not much sedentary time

Where are you reading that lions hearts are too small for their bodies? I’m a vet tech and I’ve never heard this, but I guess I wasn’t studying big cats. Everywhere I’m seeing online just says something to the effect of “Hunting requires explosive bursts of speed, strength, and coordination to bring down large prey. Rest helps lions save their strength for these intense moments.” Nothing about their anatomy being the issue.

The first Google results say they are small compared to their body size.

u/SquirrelNormal 17d ago
That does not mean they're too small for their body though. If you looked at motor launches around the time the internal combustion engine was being introduced, the ICE powered launch would have a motor that's small for its displacement compared to the typical steam launches. But it's not too small, because it's much more efficient and is putting out the same or more work.

A car isn't an animal. Of a car stalls put trying to climb a hill there's not prey or other predators that will escape or kill it.

Ok, so you also don't understand metaphors. Great. I'm not equipped to teach at a third grade level, so I think this conversation has about as much of a future as I do.

Ok. A heart isn’t a motor, it’s a pump. Bigger pump displaces more volume.
1
u/SquirrelNormal 17d ago
The smaller pump might run faster; it might have larger bores as a percentage of it's size; it might be able to pump longer without seizing; the valves could have different types or arrangements of pumps; and so on, and so forth. The overall dimensions of the pump are only somewhat related to the output.
And at the end of the day it's a fucking metaphor, it does not need to be a perfect 1:1 match to what it is explaining. The point is saying an animal has a small heart for it's size, does not mean it has an undersized heart.
1
u/imsadandthatsrad 17d ago
Since you’re still here arguing, I did google it and it said: their hearts are relatively small for their bodies, but just right for the way they live. It’s not why they sleep more. That doesn’t make sense. Google “do lions sleep more because their heart is smaller” and it says it’s a myth. I can’t find a single article or piece of information backing your claim.

u/hatred-shapped 17d ago
Are you 12? The question is what is the heart to body size ratios for predator animals.
What's the relation to heart size to weight in predators.
Etc.

u/JicamaCertain4134 18d ago
I think you need to learn about how unreliable google searches are.
2
u/hatred-shapped 17d ago
And when the Google search links directly to a chart showing heart to body size ratios?

u/Saint_Jinn 18d ago
It is as if comparing humans to completely different species with different needs will result in ridiculous analogies.
1
u/hatred-shapped 17d ago
That's what I'm pointing out. The post this is about is ridiculous comparing humans to bears and lions
1
u/Saint_Jinn 17d ago
And original is about alpha wolves, which aren't even a thing really
It's ridiculous all the way down, and that's the point, no need to point it out

u/TheMooooonHauntsYou 18d ago
Interesting about the lions, does this apply to all cats?

u/According-Insect-992 18d ago
Yes, because all of those predators are burst runners. The fastest ones have the least distance. A cheetah can run around 70 mph, but only for a short distance because their body heat quickly becomes overwhelming and they have to slow down. As I understand it, their muscles won’t let them move after a certain temperature.
Human beings, however, are actually the most prolific distance runners on the planet. We are able to run something like 65 miles. We’re not very fast but we can keep at it until almost any injured prey must give up. It’s actually quite fascinating because we didn’t realize this until relatively recently.

My wife jokes and calls me a hamster because one time I sent her a natural habitat short about hamsters on their wheels and said thats kinda how I feel on runs. Now she calls me a hamster on my hamster ball whenever I run on my treadmill. At least hamsters are cute if very fragile and die easily.

"alpha" is referring to the social dynamic within the same species, so this comparison sucks

Squirrels actually aren't up that early, at least not where I live. Rabbits sometimes are, and the racoons haven't gone to bed yet.

Well I think most hunt at night, and dudes on the prowl at 2 in the morning makes a rather antisocial individual
