Look, I'm jsut trying to get you thinking

not answer all the questions

welcome to the USA? I suppose?

We still haven't asnwered how lamias use the toilet

@Gray I kinda assume there is some of that inherent drive to move from the horse in their mind.

@Gray do not

that is for philosophy

Even a sedentary horse will adopt behaviors that keep it moving. Like pacing or weaving

just how do snakes poop anyway?

@Ivan_M II Centaurs are sentient beings though, and even if its uncommon there has to be SOME that ignore their basic instincts.

but horses are sentient..

Fine then. But it would be a far lesser percentage than that of humans.

@Yusako prove it

proving animals are sentient is a very hard burden

and one the scientific community has yet to take down

@Yusako Real snakes have a cloaca, a shared anus/pussy. It's established that lamia have vaginas though, which implies they have a seperate anus.

how do we prove humans are sentient even

^

[ok, i just read about this this morning in Scientific American..]

Animals are sentient. What I meant was sapient.

My bad.

gray -prove it

I can't say it for sure, but I imagine it'd be quite uncomfortable having that much movement oriented hardware and speed and not use it.

either way even if animals were sentient, i still think its way okay to kill hem for food

If I was a centaur I'd probably run for the fuck of it.

yeah sure, no argument there i'd suppose ?

Imagine it.

Running at 45 mph

@Ivan_M II "i can run at 40mph fuck yeah"

It cant be "proven", but there is a lot of evidence to suggest that animals have complex emotions and some have complex social interactions and awareness of self as well.

Exactly

walk at 40mph*

You can't prove other humans are sapient either though.

tbf

They can feel pain, but does that mean they have a consciousness or does it simply mean they have a neural centre?

Exactly

what even is sentience

It's a big philosophical problem.

Horses are one of few creatures that match human endurance levels. To have that on my side with the power of the human mind.

sentience is definded as being able to percieve your surroundings. Sapience is defined as being aware of yourself.
