Practical Thoughts on Humans with Wings

[.Atlas]

No. No. No. The muscles are even more weight, there is a reason why birds aren't loving ripped.

The muscles are microscopic nanofiber that's 200 times stronger than basic human muscle. Did no one read the OP?

Pretty sure you'd need more than giant wings in order to fly.

Of course, this is some childish fantasy of yours so everything gonna soar over your head.

haha, soar, I get it.

I've covered all the basics that would be needed for flight in the OP and throughout my comments. If you aren't interested enough to browse through them I won't fault you.

This is a childish fantasy, yes, but it's one that I might be able to achieve if I had the money.

Also let us take a look at Condors. They have a wingspan close to the suggested flight of humans. How much do they weigh? Thirty pounds. They also still have to ride on thermals and drifts too.

Also even more brain food:
"Well, if we cut our legs off, we could reduce a lot of weight. Hollow bones would help, smaller organs, too. With smaller organs we'd probably have to eat less meat, as we wouldn't have such a big liver to process all those amino acids. A grain/sugar diet would probably be best.

We'd have to do a lot of restructuring, getting rid of stuff. I bet we could get by on one kidney. We could also probably remove some brain tissue and make the skull smaller and thinner. Most of our lower body muscles could be removed. Our muscles are pretty heavy. We'd need lots of tendons and stuff in weird places, and less bulky muscles. Next time you're eating bird, notice how soft the flesh is."

To do this we would be bird people, not humans with wings.

They don't have nanofiber muscles.

I'm waiting on my family. My mother has to change.

Everyone do me a favor. Before you post. Before you argue a point. Read the links in the OP. If you don't want to read them, don't post.

They barely have muscle you dumbstuff. They have numerous tendons and there muscles are literally almost only in their pectoral region.

Reading clearly isn't your strong suit. I've given very basic responses for you to understand multiple times. You clearly don't understand what's being discussed here. Please, go feed your chickens. You seem to understand them better than basic English.

Because you have not edited the OP with what I was saying to make yourself look smarter. Your fantasy is handicapped and you are making yourself look like one. We cannot just print wings. On a scale of 1 - 10 the pain of being able to fly is near 500 for humans. We would have huge pecs, no legs, less brain, less organs, and we would be pretty much birds. Go read your stuffty science-fiction.

I haven't edited the OP because you've yet to make a point. You keep comparing humans to chickens for forgets sake. No we can't print wings, we can however print bones and single cells. You don't know the pain of flying because you can't fly. You wouldn't have huge pecs, you can't loving read. Legs? Are you loving stupid? Less brain? yep stupid. Less organs? You realize birds have quite a few organs we don't? stuff son, get it together.

I'm locking this till I get back. Maybe then you'll have an idea what you're talking about.

If we had wings it would be another body part to work out.

AvailsMew, I'm not even going to quote you because almost all of what you've posted in this topic is douchebaggery.

First off, like Atlas said, Read the links in the OP.
Second off, why the forget do you think wings = OMG PEGASUS BRONY friend LOL
Third off, you don't have to be an starfish about it.
Fourth off - I actually do agree with a lot that you've said, but like I'VE said, you don't have to be an starfish about it.
Not to toot my own horn, but look at what I posted as an example:

I like the idea, but you'd need to address these problems too - Drunk flying, Human brain's speed in comprehending things VS flight speed, and the force resistance of the wing feathers.

 Also, it's not just flapping them that would tire the muscles, but also holding them rigid when gliding. Seriously, imagine getting a fairly thin wooden plank, putting it in between two rocks, and standing on it. nanosuitmuscles or not, tiring will still be a problem. If you take a long flight, and you're exhausted then what will you do to land, hmm? How will that work? No way it'd be soft, that's for sure. And we haven't talked about leg force resistance.

Oh, speaking of leg force resistance, wouldn't it be more strain on our legs to basically have a new pair of arms that weigh more?


Oh, and how would clothing work? Skin-tight insulated suits? Because traditional apparel is NOT good for keeping in heat if you're going at a high velocity, and mass is also a problem. How much do these "Nano-muscles" weigh? Or how they would work with replacing your legs?
Or the rates of medical complications from leg muscle replacement be? And the costs! Oh, the costs...


Anyway, to be more detailed, Drunk flying, like, drunk driving - That'd be an even bigger problem, because the safety levels would be worse than motorcycles - not that I have anything against motorcycles, I'm just saying it's dangerous.

Human's brain speed on comprehending things, like, if you're an actor, if you get fake punched, how long does it take for you to stagger backwards? Or, how good are you at timing things in a game? Or parkour! Best example right there: Parkour.

Another thing about clothing - Would you put clothing on the wings? The wings do count as a naked part of your body, soooo...

If I was mean about ANYTHING, I was being passive-aggressive. YOU on the other hand, are an outright jerk. Atlas never said "guys this is a great idea we can probably do this next year" or anything like that. Yes, he did say it's a good idea, and I AGREE WITH THAT. So what? That doesn't give you the right to be a loving bitch about it as if we actually intended to try putting another set of shoulders into our spines and add artificial muscles (AKA the nano muscles that atlas mentioned).

Also:
Although your post isn't completely you insulting him, you're kinda poking at the strings of rule seven.

7. Do not flame - If the entire point of your post is to tell someone what an idiot they are, don't bother.

I'm just going to stick with the water jetpack for now.

This is so impractical it hurts.

fly around places. cars would become less practical and flying could become a new sport (racing, endurance, diving competitions ect) doesnt sound so impractical now, does it?
