Where the heck do they put the intake (since I don't see a snorkel)?

I think it’s stock, looks like it anyways. No idea on the intake. I think they got lucky, cause it doesn’t look like 4WD either.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Yeah everything about the physiology of them is evolved around maximal functional strength/leverage. Even the tendon/muscle anchor points are more advantageously located for strength/leverage (as opposed to finer dexterity like us).

That being said nobody goes farther on less energy than us so they still gotta catch us first!

Speaking of advantageous anchor points for muscles...
A guy that knew was a dwarf who was a giant dwarf. He was about 5 feet tall. By his build, I'm guessing he was achondroplasic. If he was full height he'd have looked like The Mountain from GOT. When he was a kid, he was riding the school bus and some kids started picking on him from the seat in front of him. He put his feet against the back of the bus seat and bent the whole thing over trapping them. The had a heck of a time freeing the kids. They were pinned by their chests.
He didn't get picked on again.

I mean it doesn't even have to be magic. You just show the one where you succeed. The overlap between skaters and amateur editors is pretty significant

I'd love to know the number of respected editors/cinematographers/directors that came out of the 80/90s skating & tape-slinging movement. Spike Jonze, for one.

Seriously.

My first thought was 'now show the 50 other takes where you kicked the bottle and it smashed, or you missed it entirely.

It also makes a huge difference how the bottle is being held.

Derren Brown's thing about probability and betting comes to mind where he tosses a coin and gets heads TEN TIMES IN A ROW. FIRST TRY.

(He didn't, he tossed a coin for like, an entire afternoon, resetting each time it came up tails and redoing the intro each time, until he got ten in a row by chance)

I can't remember the name of his channel (the dude with the silver paint on his face), but there's a guy who's done videos busting fake YouTube videos by pointing out the editing tricks used for them. He did one where he talked about how a lot of the skill shot videos aren't necessarily fake but are the product of dozens or hundreds of takes, which he proved by doing a clip that ended with him finishing his monologue by scoring a long distance throw across the house. He then posted the uncut video showing every single take before finally getting it right, which was like an hour long.

He did a greyhound(?) racing one as well where he gave someone an accumulator for a few races and they were all correct but what he actually did was give out loads of accumulators to people and filmed them all till they lost.

Derren Brown is one of those crazy multi-talented people. Along with the whole illusionist thing, he's also a fine painter and an excellent writer.
