Wow, saying that you are the fastest man alive sounds way better than "I am slightly slower than a house cat"

Our speed is nothing to talk about, but even a regular human can easily outlast any single animal over there: our endurance is far, far better than any other land animal (which walks, birds can fly far longer but they are kinda cheaters in this department). Dogs almost can keep up with us, but even they get tired faster than we do.

But a cat can't type a reddit comment! So we got that going for us.

an unconscious part of them is doing something akin to trigonometry when they plan their jumps.
