Wings
-
Lemmy has a bit of an issue with taking memes or random stuff seriously. Iāve noticed it in a lot of my posts. Me often just saying āIt is a memeā in response.

I would guess that if you had wings with feathers youād be intimately knowledgeable on the tensile strength of them

Iām a grower I swear.
Thatās what we all say. I mean they

Eh, sometimes āItās just a jokeā is a copout to shittiness. This is just someoneās OC, though, and people are here criticizing the wing size as if it matters. smh
Hasnāt been a copout yet. Itās always been in response to the above type of energy. Of someone um actuallying a meme because there is a difference in the meme to how reality is. Itās bizarre.

Anyone who has wings (particularly if you haveā¦ ehhem. adult-sized wings) knows this is impractical, and itās way better to just use snaps or buttons.

Guess it works if you got tiny ass wings that wouldnāt lift anything. Bumblebee ass mfer
Tiny wings are very much capable of lifting heavy things, but they have to flap super quickly. Humming birds have really tiny wings compared to their size, but since they never glide, itās not important. The bigger issue is the position of the wings.
Since the line between the center of mass and center of force (the wings) is not perfectly vertical, Pit would lean forward during flight. His body would be suspended under his wings. This means his body is blocking most of the wind generated by his wings. So he would have to exert even more force to stay flying. Plus, your arms would get super sore when all that force is pushing them forward.
It should also be noted that Put doesnāt have the musculature to support this level of force. His biceps are connected to his arms, not his wings, so he must have a separate set of muscles specifically for his wings. The only suitable anchor points are his ribs and spine, but in no art do we see the require muscle groups around his shoulder blades.
In short: I donāt think this is real, guys.

What if heās just really really light

You would think but tell that to the number of times I break a nail doing routine shit

Lmao, true

With the marvel of modern engineering, they do pretty compact wings able to carry 80kg humans, https://youtu.be/ilx8Ch0eOR4 (Sorry for sharing marketing video)
So in a fantasy world, you could imagine so compact wing part of human body

Damn.

Hummingbirds get lift on both strokes, forward and back, and require an extremely specialized set of wings to do so.
In regards to your comment about muscles for lift, birds have a ākeel boneā (like a boat) which is where the anchors for their wing muscles are. Equivalent to our sternum. So the muscles for flight in the image would be on the front, not the ribs or spine.

I thought about that, but I donāt think that makes sense in this situation. The wings and arms must use different muscle groups, and the biceps would be used for the arms, not the wings. Furthermore, since the wings are on the back of Pit, the muscles would either have to wrap around the rib cage or go through them, constricting the lungs.

You canāt just tuck the wings back in the same way because the feathers will get stuck on the shirt when going against the grain. I imagine itās easier to pull the shirt up from the bottom and have the wings stretched out over his head.

So the bicep and tricep of birds, letās just use chickens since most people will be familiar with them, are mostly responsible for in flight control.
Thatās the drumette. The flat, the one with two bones, are for controlling the very tip of the wing, for maneuvering. Notably these muscles are kinda big compared to the body size of the bird. About 6 inches around. If a human were the size of a chicken our biceps would be something like an inch around in comparison.
For liftoff, and staying aloft, birds have slightly different muscle groups. This is the breast meat. Bird chest muscles are ridiculously huge compared to their bodies. They donāt really have abs, the have chest muscles down their entire torso. Chickens are kind of mutants and arenāt really good examples anymore but birds universally have absolutely BADONKERS chests.
Basically what Iām saying is: If Pit were drawn by Rob Liefeld, heād be closer to obtaining flight.

There is a haibane renmei reference here somewhere

My thoughts exactly

Bro were talking about a fictional character from a fictional humanoid race that has wings. I feel like arguing about the mechanics of fabric pulling on a feather is a bitā¦ Pointless

yeah i think theyāre just kind of magical little wings that make pit able to float or something

I used to own birds growing up, and Iāve felt the obvious drag of feathers on fabric. Forgive me for not letting go of the vivid memory I have.
