This time, the debate centers around a surprisingly technical topic: Is walking around on massive stilts more energy efficient than walking normally? What began as a simple discussion on Reddit’s They Did The Math forum quickly evolved into a multidisciplinary conversation involving biomechanics, anthropology, metabolic science, and even cultural history. The question might seem humorous at first, but it touches the core of human locomotion: how efficiently can the human body convert metabolic … Read more
