How/what does a centaur ear?
A centaur only usually has one pair of ears.

Fuckin' auto carrot.

@Tsaukpaetra Suspected you meant that.
In the series The World of Tiers (which I've not read for years, so caution advised with this memory) centaurs exist, and are horrific beasts because of the need to make them able to breathe enough air to sustain a gallop. They also necessarily need to eat meat in order to handle the energy requirements of that body with that mouth. The result is some nasty predators that dominate that particular biome...

@pcooper that reminds me of stories of German TDWTFers talking about how they can't just plug stuff in themselves due to safety risks.
And decency laws

I'm not sure why that would be such an issue. They need large lungs, yes, but they're already there in the horse part of the body (well, maybe not, but in a real horse they are so you could say they also are in a centaur). Of course you can always say that the lungs are in the human part (as in a human) and thus have to make the human part weirdly over-sized, but... that seems more like a justification of a random choice by the author than like a real constraint.
(you also need the mouth/nostrils to be large enough to breathe the air in/out but I'm not convinced this would really need to be that oversized -- the typical relative size of the human/horse parts of a centaur are indicative of rather small breed of horses, which don't necessarily have such large nostrils, plus overall I don't know how much of the whole "breathing" sub-system is constrained by nostrils size rather than all other parts)
They also necessarily need to eat meat in order to handle the energy requirements of that body with that mouth.
That part sounds a bit more plausible. Also if you don't want your centaurs to spend the greatest part of the day eating (as do horses in the wild, and most herbivorous animals generally speaking), you need to give them something pretty high in energy. But then again, horses in stables are OK with being fed grain in 1-2 meals per day (rather than chomping on grass/hay all day long), and you can eat grain with a human mouth, so you could probably handle the whole thing without meat.
Of course, the real reason is probably that the author wanted to make the centaurs as "nasty predators that dominate that particular biome" and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

@remi It's always seemed to me that the digestive tract and female reproductive systems are bigger barriers than the respiratory system. Though of course traditional centaurs are male only, and I expect the human female carrying the new young centaur was not expected to survive.

@PleegWat said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
reproductive systems
That is... something I'd rather not spend too much time thinking about (no, don't @mention... well, you know who I mean!).
Because before the giving birth part there's also the mating part and if you assume "human female carrying the new young centaur," well, I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Or your porn stash. You do you but ewww. Not kink-shaming but, uh, no, yeah, kind-of kink-shaming because really ewww.

I'm of the opinion that all the reproduction and digestion organs are below and the lungs the fulfilment at the top, so there's plenty of room.
Anyways... Funny?

@Gern_Blaanston My inner Londo Mollari just refers to both of these as moon-faced assassins of joy. (That's not what he is referring to at the time he yells that, but I definitely think of them that way.)

Yes, please!
Just go to a spa resort with unisex saunas and enjoy the potential nudity... Or maybe not, because apart from the good looking women, there will be fat old men there as well.

@Carnage I'd like to contribute, but I'm the opposite of fat.

You'll quickly learn to focus on the things you enjoy seeing and ignore the things you don't. Or maybe even ignore everybody else completely.

Which is just another way of saying the same thing.

The Nudist Camp Conundrum:
Any place which has naked people almost always has lots of people who should not be seen naked.

And what happened to the fat old women? Are swedish saunas really different from german saunas / nudist beaches?

@Carnage Looking forward to enjoyable winter holidays in .
If only my fücking heart would withstand sauna temperatures again...
