  • The Naruto run is not bullshit, unless you don’t believe in the other bullshit in the anime. To get to speeds where wind resistance makes any difference, you need to be running in the ballpark of the fastest running humans are capable of. Not the fastest per se, but the same ballpark. And even then, in the real world, it’s only a minimal difference and the Naruto run is far from optimal. To make it necessary you’d have to run faster than any human can, by a very large margin. Maybe even an order of magnitude faster.

    However, in the anime, the ninjas ARE able to run that fast. So if you take into account the inhuman basically “magical” abilities of the in-universe runners, it would definitely benefit them to lean forward that much to reduce wind resistance. In many scenes they are moving so fast they will jump between trees for 4-5 seconds of airtime without losing altitude. That’s fast. Not only would the Naruto run improve air resistance but it would also prevent you from flailing all over the place when you jump.

    So anyway, that’s why you should definitely run like Naruto if you are running track in the 7th grade.

    Mine didn’t either when I lived in a dorm. I got around the network block.

    1. Plug Xbox 360 into ethernet wall port
    2. Log into uni network, get internet
    3. Plug router directly into pc.
    4. Assign router same ip as Xbox
    5. Spoof router mac address to match xbox
    6. Unplug from pc
    7. Quickly swap cable in wall from Xbox cable to router cable, Indiana Jones style
    8. Internet for 1 month. Repeat monthly.





  • Hey, very cool app. One thing that could be a massive improvement is the ability to tap the thumbnails in “compact mode” to open a bigger version of the image without loading the whole post. Boost (for reddit and for lemmy) has something like this (though not as snappy as I’d like), and relay for reddit had the perfect implementation of this. It was quick and easy. You tap the thumbnail to blow the image up to the max screen width, tap again to dismiss the image. Ideally there would be no lag between when you tap and when the image is loaded, same with dismissing. (I disabled double tap in relay so the image dismissal didn’t wait for a 2nd tap, making it quicker.)

    Obviously this is a very nice and niche feature, so it might be outside the scope of the app. But if you find yourself itching to add some features, keep this in mind :) It would fit well with the “fast, fluid browsing” theme of the app.

    I took a video to give a quick example but uploading it to lemmy.world isn’t working, I don’t want to share my youtube account, and I don’t want to make you download a random file from a file sharing site, so you can check out this behavior in those 2 apps if you need an example.
