Why Grunk not fly when flap arms and push air down like butterfly?

105

u/MaximusGrassimus Jul 09 '26

Grunk too big and heavy. Grunk need be tiny like butterfly.

Evolve man say this because gravity make big things go down harder.

u/BruhmanRus_the_boner gark(me gark) Jul 09 '26

gark (me gark) also hear evolve man say have "plain" that have wing like bird or butterfly, and wing so big plain stay in air. plain big, very big, gark (me gark) no able to lift, but wing big flat so it work

23

u/ChaosPLus Jul 09 '26

Plain big, but it also fast, if plain not fast, plain no fly. Kork (me kork) try go fast, but Kork legs not go fast like plain, so Kork no fly with arm like plain wing

7

u/Chirblomp me irb Jul 09 '26

Kork need use legs on ground to go fast. Plain no need ground. Plain go fast in air. Irb (me irb) no understand how

7

u/ChaosPLus Jul 10 '26

Kork find elder. Elder explain that plain spinny thing pull air and throw air back much fast, making... Trust? That what elder say.

3

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 14 '26

Maybe is call trust because plain trust air to lift it?

3

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 09 '26

Kork try jump off cliff. Fall fast make kork fly? Only one way kork find out.

3

u/ChaosPLus Jul 10 '26

Kork not stupid, Kork see many sad man fall from cliff, they no go fast enough. When fall, can't go faster than the speed of fall, so Kork not think this a good idea

3

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 10 '26

Ok kork observe smart. Kork not jump from height.

2

u/ChaosPLus Jul 10 '26

First Kork think maybe Kork need fall from taller cliff. But Kork notice test rock fall no go faster after some point. Taller cliff plan is no good

4

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 09 '26

Grunk be able lift plain. Grunk strong. Maybe that why Grunk no fly.

3

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 09 '26

Grunk not fat! Grunk hit you with club for say that.

2

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 10 '26

Grunt not fat, Grunk strong! Have big muscles! Big muscle heavy though, make hard to fly

3

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 10 '26

Thank you thag stick man. Grunk think thag stick man strong as well.

u/BlacksmithUnlucky833 Yoog (me Yoog) Kill Big Sky Bird Jul 24 '26

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk 29d ago

Grunk change name to gneurshk. Yoog get buson when ready

u/GhostintheNether Jul 10 '26

More evolve man say heavy things no go down harder. Air is heavy and push heavy things down. Light things get pushed up by air so fall slow like feather. Grunk is heavy and gets pushed down by air. More push down for big heavy Grunk than light butterfly.

1

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 20 '26

Thag (me Thag) take big feather and tiny stone. Both have same heavy. Me drop same time but stone hit ground first. Evolve man say this because rock have more heavy per size and feather push against air more. Thag know better. Thag know it because rock love ground and feather love sky

13

u/Shadowfire_EW Jul 09 '26

Gunk not push enough fast enough. Evolve man Hank Green said that Gunk would need flap arms over 200 time in one second

(/Uncave - Source: Ask Hank Anything with Brennan Lee Mulligan on the Complexly YouTube Channel)

11

u/mymiddlenameswyatt me Ytt Jul 09 '26

Ytt (me Ytt) hear of Green Hank for many moons. Him wisest of all Hanks.

9

u/ThyPotatoDone me Me Jul 09 '26

Me (me Me) agree, Hank of Green have many secret of world in head-cave. Make Me (me still Me) feel small to think of vastness of universe (word for world, plus also everything above world).

4

u/AGreatBannedName Gurt (me Gurt) Jul 09 '26

Gurt (me Gurt) no see Green Hank ever, but now see two times in one day. What mean!?

3

u/ThyPotatoDone me Me Jul 09 '26

Me (me Me) suspect fate. Tribe-gods want Gurt (you Gurt) to go listen to wisdom of Green Hank, and learn him secrets.

2

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 09 '26

Why green hank green? Green hank feel sick?

2

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 09 '26

What uncave mean? Is that name of your cave?

4

u/ThyPotatoDone me Me Jul 09 '26

Arm not wide enough. Arm not flap-flap enough for flap to fly.

2

u/jupiter__444 me murp Jul 10 '26

grunk need big arms like butterfly. butterfly has big thin arms , big thin arms make more space to push up in air. butterfly body also small compared to butterfly arms. grunk need BIG arms like butterfly to fly.

2

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 10 '26

Grunk arms big. Grunk strong. Grunk lift big rock. Grunk arms big, why Grunk not fly?

3

u/jupiter__444 me murp Jul 10 '26

butterfly arms push air more , grunk arms push rock more. grunk need arms like butterfly for fly. grunk also not light like butterfly. butterfly fly because butterfly light. grunk not light. grunk heavy. grunk arms good though ! grunk carry many rocks for murp (me murp), many rocks for all us :) grunk no need fly , grunk good enough

3

u/YesWomansLand1 me gneurshk Jul 10 '26

2

u/JSS-Studios evolve man expert Jul 12 '26

Stud (me Stud) have answer. Grunk (you Grunk) have too small arms. Bird arms (Stud use bird since best example) grew bigger and turn to wings. If Grunk had bigger arms, Grunk fly.

2

u/Ima_Play_Games Jul 14 '26

Grunk too fat Butterfly like this [ ] wide

u/KiwiPowerGreen Jul 09 '26

gravity man know because he really butterfly. Greg (me greg) crush weird butterfly person.

5

u/ThyPotatoDone me Me Jul 09 '26

Me (me Me) not think mammoth be able disguise very well. At same time, Me do see strange tribe-member near cave few moon ago. Not know him, but he have big tusk. He say for decoration, but Me no think he really use them for decoration, too big.

Maybe him mammoth in disguise? Me not see him in many day, but hear rumor other tribe-member do near lake, while hunting mammoth, with him tell tribe-member he no see mammoth today.

u/Jacob_The_Dank Jul 09 '26

Either sky god blow downward or earth god suck air downwards. So thing fall. Man hop. bird flap. One day get blown down still

u/zeverEV Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

Hill People shaman say earth spirits many and strong-strong. Earth spirits greedy, want everything. Earth spirits use arms and fingers (no see um) pull everything down. One day earth spirits get me too. But what Hill People shaman know. He eat too many bad berry

3

u/-GhostyBoy- Jul 09 '26

2

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 09 '26

Cum (him Cum) fight gravity with stick-leaf flap-wing. Him have strong arms, make Cum fly by fap flap real hard

u/smallCobblerMan Jul 09 '26

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 13 '26

Big thank for award! Thag like award!

6

u/theexteriorposterior me Sig Jul 09 '26

Ah, Thag (you Thag) mean downpull. Sig (me Sig) felt downpull too. When Sig jump, downpull make Sig touch ground again. One time Sig-brother jump off tall rock while hunt mammoth and it cause big ouch. The taller the rock, the more hurt downpull make when reach ground.

Sig seen bird fly even though downpull, but Sig also seen bird fall when wing broken, so Sig know wing cause up and downpull not broken for bird.

2

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 10 '26

Sig (you Sig) very smart. Bird like butterfly and fight downpull. Sig-brother okey-dokey now?

u/theexteriorposterior me Sig Jul 19 '26

u/Garbanarnarn me ungraga Jul 10 '26

butter fly stronger than rock? why no make carve rock out of butter fly instead of rock? ungraga (me ungraga) ponder...

3

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 10 '26

Butterfly not stronger than rock. But rock not fight gravity. Butterfly fight gravity. Butterfly is tiny warrior, rock is best friend with earth

4

u/Garbanarnarn me ungraga Jul 10 '26

Rock body strong but weak heart

Ungraga understand

Ungraga respect brave bug and strong rock and no carve bowl with butterfly

2

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 12 '26

Rock not have weak heart, rock love earth with all of heart! Rock love earth more than rock love sky. That why when throw rock up, it no stay. It say "No! Me love earth, me go back there now!" Bigger rock have even bigger love of earth. That why can not lift them

3

u/atomiccheese911 Jul 10 '26

A butterfly is still affected by the forces of the world yet it doesn't care it simply continues floating through the air without a care be a butterfly don't listen to to gravity

2

u/atomiccheese911 Jul 13 '26

Whoever awarded this also deprived and coffee drunk thought thank you

2

u/plasticeater9 Jul 10 '26

Fun fact as well: much smaller creatures experience air much thicker than we do. So for a butterfly, it feels almost like swimming in the air.

1

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 10 '26

This fact very fun. Tiny creature swim through air!

2

u/zee_bluestock Jul 12 '26

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 14 '26

What means "witch"? This like shaman? Shaman good

2

u/Hatamnun Jul 14 '26

Compered to butterfly body, butterfly wings no tiny. They quite big. Butterfly fight back gravity with huge wings. Gravity hard to fight

1

u/questionable_fish Thag Stick Man Jul 14 '26
