Zebraforce would be a kickass band name.

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

All of these would

I was thinking Saturday morning cartoon that lasted 5 episodes.

Who are those 29% who voted for B C and D? Trolls?

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Or additional dumbasses. Dumbass is not an uncommon trait, after all.

[–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tbf, I kind of want to know how much zebraforce my car gets now, though

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A zebra is closer to the size of a donkey than a horse, and donkeys have about 5 horsepower, so a 200hp car would be about 40zf (zebra force). Also, since horses actually have about 15 horsepower, that same car would be about 13ahp (actual horse power). Llamas are also about the size of a donkey, so probably similar numbers.

But is your donkey a scientist?

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's a scientologist. Same thing, right?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In that case, ask him where Shelly Miscavige is for me.

[–] rifugee@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He says that she's alive and well and has been busy devoting her time to Scientology and is definitely not dead or being held captive or anything, so I shouldn't "worry my pretty head about it, sweet cheeks." I should note that he was born in the 40's.

Horsepower isn't a measure of how much power one horse can produce at any time, but rather over an entire day. It's roughly the number of horses an engine could replace running 24/7.

Running a horse at 15 horsepower would tire it out rather quickly, so you'd need many teams of horses rotated around to maintain 15 horsepower.

[–] WoolyNelson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Llamathrust needs to replace horsepower.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Agreed. The ratio is particularly high at maga rallies and anti vaccine drives.

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some humans just want to watch the world burn

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I would have voted for Llamathrust, because it's just such a funny word.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't be surprised if the voting system you see the audience use is completely fake and the graphs are predetermined before the show is taped.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

It was probably this guy's family sitting out in the audience lol. Must be no horse where they come from.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The charitable interpretation is — for maybe some of them anyway — people who wanted to make it look like it wasn't that obvious of an answer and make him feel less bad about it

How to keep the Winamp’s back.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll give him credit for using a lifeline when he truly needed it. Better to use it and get it right than guess and risk having the game end at the first question.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

That's gonna be all the extra credit that dude ever got

[–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's be honest people's brains absolutely can turn off when they appear on a quiz. It's a weird and stressful situation. Especially if you remember that all of your mistakes will be broadcast to millions of people and commented on and intensely scrutinized.

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What's the excuse for the 29% of the audience?

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Trolling. I hope.

[–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Nothing. Though I don't think there are any special requirements for one to be in the audience anyway.

[–] theshoeshiner@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Okay but where is Koalamps.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 years ago

llamathrust feels like an innuendo dan and phil would make in golf with friends

[–] TeckFire@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Fun fact:

28 Zebraforce is equivalent to 1 Dragonforce

[–] rustbuckett@lemmings.world 7 points 2 years ago

Dragonforce is awesome.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 14 points 2 years ago

Let's be charitable and say he was just being arrogant wasting his lifeline on this question to prove he wouldn't need it later.

[–] BustinJiber@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Me when I'm still not sure

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Donkey Power is an important unit used by Macho Business Donkey Wrestlers.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If that show is still a thing, I'd like to see a similar question that includes measures of time such as mooches and heads of lettuce.
