  • 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.








  • Yes. It’s funny. It’s the same kind of funny that “the game” (ha goteem), rickrolling, stick bugging the thing with the hand okay symbol, and even so far as “made you look” is. Just a simple easily spreadable and understandable “gotcha” to share with friends. It’s constantly evolving and in a short time it will be something else with the same basic mechanism to be used as a gotcha and it will be funny too. Something doesn’t need to be deep to spread a little laugh.






  • 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.



  • If you’ve been using Linux for 20 years that makes sense, as I have a lot of applications I used on windows that are not available on linux and have no alternative in any repo or flatpak, only as weird little projects on github (that don’t work half the time). So I’ve spent a lot of time trying to replicate a resemblance of my work flow and QoL luxuries. Your work flow has been refined over that 20 years with little windows influence.
