Maybe a human front half (including the legs) and horse rear half? It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.

Centaur but on backlegs is also human atop

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

1 centaur = 1/2 human + 1/2 horse

1/2 human + 1/2 centaur = 3/4 human + 1/4 horse.

Yay math.

look at trump. hes bascially a frontaur.

What in the mortal kombat knockoff Goro is this thing?

[–] Jtee@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, Goro is a Mantaur wannabe now

The future is now old man! - Mantaur

this halfling would have the top of centaur and the buttom of a human

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

It would seriously suck to run with 2 human legs and 2 horse legs.

Yeah I'm imagining rear horse legs, and Everytime you jump forward hard with the rear horsepower you land on your front human legs shattering your ankles and breaking your feet and legs with all that weight behind you. Bummer. Walk slow I guess.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

you land on your front human legs shattering your ankles and breaking your feet and legs

I can’t imagine we've got more fragile legs than horses

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I'm thinking you would have human arms and run upright on two horsey hind legs.

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Math can help solve this:

m = 0.5 # human
h = 0.5 # horse

C = m + h # Centaur

So Centaur is 50% human, 50% horse. Half human, half Centaur would be:

# Expand
C / 2 + m
m + h / 2 + m

# Combine
(m + h / 2) + (2m / 2)
3m + h / 2

# Solve
3(0.5)[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
1.5[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
0.75[m] + 0.25[h]

Which is 0.75 human, 0.25 horse

Therefore, this hybrid is 75% human, 25% horse

To answer your question: This would probably be a human with a horse tail, and 2 horse legs.

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Damn, I wish I had an algorithm to tell me whether 75 and 25 are even or odd, though.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

X Mod 2

It returns true if X is odd and false if X is even.

A more computational efficient method would be to use: AND 00000001

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

So instead of half human and half horse, it's 3/4 human 1/4 horse. I'm going with human except the two legs are horse legs.

[–] qualia@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

If c = centaur, h = horse, m = man

c = 0.5h + 0.5m

0.5c + 0.5m = 0.5h + 0.5m + 0.5m = 0.5h + 1m

Normalizing we get (0.5h + 1m)(2/3) = (1/3)h + (2/3)m

The horse aspects are getting more diluted by the extra human genes (or parts). As others have observed I'm also imagining a centaur whose front legs are human, but has a wicked rear horse kick.

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

0.5c = 0.25m + 0.25h and you don't need to normalize.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

satyr are goat human hybrid, or demon/lucifer/angel form.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I think satyrs are goat/humans and centaurs are horse/humans, but that's probably racist somehow.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

With a Satyr, the whole lower half from the waist down is a goat.

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Crap, you're right. That's what I get for replying based on visual memory and not confirming it first. Thanks.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (3 children)

3/4 Horse, 1/4 man.

Or 3/4 man, 1/4 horse.

Instead of the usual 50-50 split.

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

My wife says I’m 1/4 horse.

Apparently I’m a horse’s ass.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

But it isn't 50/50. It's a whole horse with half a man where his neck and head should be. So it's more like 1 1/4 creatures.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Half man, half bear, half pig.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

No, clearly it's half man, half bear-pig!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 9 hours ago

Body is 1/2, head is the other 1/2. 🤷‍♂️

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world -1 points 9 hours ago

The second one, because if a centaur is already half horse and half human, a half-human half-centaur would be 3/4 human and 1/4 horse.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

2 human legs but the back ones.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 hours ago

Only legs. Two human legs on bottom and then two horse legs on top, nothing else. The monstrosity still walks upright.

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 2 points 9 hours ago

Something like this? I imagine the horse part is the dominant genes

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

his name is BoJack Horseman

[–] Iusedtobeanalien@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

A human with a giant horse "head"

[–] wesker 1 points 9 hours ago

Horse cocks have heads on them?

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago

Ask Musk. Word is he fucked a horse and made a centaur using a cattle prod to give it that magic spark. That is how he came up with the name Tesla.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Like a 1/4 centaur, so maybe walking upright on hind legs with a human torso and head?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 9 hours ago
[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 9 hours ago
[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social -1 points 10 hours ago

It would be a centaur with a horse's head.
