@JorisMeys @oblomov it took Meta a really long time to figure out how to put legs on avatars in the metaverse/an idea that 'doesn't have legs' is a bad one. https://gizmodo.com/facebook-quest-world-legs-avatars-mark-zuckerberg-1850787409
@alicemcalicepants @oblomov Thx! I just realized what you were playing at. Thank you for the giggles

I'm one of those poor bastards who missed the reference and hence the joke. Please enlighten me.
EDIT: Oh. Ooooh. Ah. hehe, genious.
The characters in the Meta VR famously had no legs (in their 3D models) until very late in development, and only in some specific circumstances (random article about the topic: <https://www.pcmag.com/news/avatars-in-meta-horizons-finally-get-legs-this-time-for-real>)

The reason why most of our muscular mass is below our waists is that we are supposed to be walking most of the time. Our whole species are walkers. We walk upright. It’s kind of a big deal. -

@alicemcalicepants At least some people were employed during that. No idea where they buried all that money though.
