I'm guessing the human ones as you'll need to hold them until they're strong enough to hold up their own heads. Maybe then you switch to the horse ones for convenience

[-] Liz@midwest.social 20 points 10 months ago

The human half of a baby centaur would be born further developed than a human baby. It wouldn't have the same size and brain limitation that we do. It would probably still be an idiot compared to an adult, but it would at least be able to hold itself upright like a toddler.

you’ll need to hold them until they’re strong enough to hold up their own heads.

I don't see that happening. Do you have any idea how much a horse, even a baby one, weighs? It's not likely a mother centaur is strong enough to carry her baby to breastfeed it.

I think if it was the only way, centauri women would have an evolutionary advancement in the muscles of their upper body. Like kangaroos that are used to carry their kids in a belly pocket. And kangaroos punch like a motherfucker.

It would be funny to see all centauri women be built like MMA fighters and men be thin like a matchstick.

>centauri women

Ahh, my good and dear friend!

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

? I honestly can't understand what you mean.

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

He's quoting a character from the sci-fi series Babylon 5 who is a member of an alien species known as the Centauri.

Thanks. I'm yet to get there.

They could always lie down to breastfeed like many animals do. That would make more sense.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Yep. And if they take this route, then the top body would have flat chests. That's not how many pictures centauri women, but I guess they'd have way less stress looking for a fitting bra.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

That's what I envision; they lay down and hold the human part just like we do now and maybe the colt part stands or lays in a way that helps

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 47 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I feel like human nipples just because it would be way more convenient. Getting the whole extra torso under the horse body seems like a pain. I need someone to draw both options now so we can discuss.

Eta: wait wait, are centaur babies human baby sized with proportionately small horse parts, or are they baby horse sized with a bigger human parts to match? That could change my answer.

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

I feel like they should be colt sized, because in most depictions centaurs don't seem to actually have accessible human genitals, so they should be gestating in the horse body and not the human body.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

But they’re not literally half human half horse, they’re fully centaur.

So there’s no human genitalia or horse body, only centaur genitalia and centaur body. Where the centaur genitalia is on the centaur body could be anywhere, ex. horse based locale dong but human based mammaries.

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago

Some conversations make me regret being alive.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

I call that feeling 'waking up in the morning'.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They have no genitalia at all, they can conceive from kissing, there saliva acts as sperm. Males and females can lay eggs from this. Often both lay an egg from the same kiss and these are considered siblings. The gender is decided by the gender of the egg layer.

Centaur salivia when inserted in a functional human vagina can rarely produce a weird human-centaur hybrid but those babies cannot survive past a few weeks.

I am just making this up as i go but Its literally impossible to proof me wrong so…

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Centaurs aren't real. Do you understand that?

[-] VulKendov@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago

Yes we know that's why we're discussing it instead of asking a 'real' centaur

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 32 points 10 months ago

Do centaur hoes suck the horse dick or the human dick, respectfully?

[-] Deuces@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago

Did you see a front penis?

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago

In my dreams I do.

Where do you see the penis?

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 22 points 10 months ago

Human mouths, so they suckle on human nipples. Obvious.

[-] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I would think it depends on whether each centaur is a front end or back end centaur.

[-] detectivesniffles 20 points 10 months ago

what about the fabled full stack centaurs?

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

That's just a human fucking a horse

[-] Auzymundius@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Let's get a site reliability centaur in here too while we're at it.

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Wouldn’t that just be full horse or full human?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 months ago

Human ones, cause lady centaurs wouldn't have boobs if they didn't.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago
[-] Thranduil@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I dont know. I was under the impression the greek ones are male only but im tol lazy to google it

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

I think the writers across centuries made a pact to not picture a female centaur because it leads to a lot questions like that, and it's sexually confusing and can lead to assumptions the writer has a thing for fucking horses.

[-] Thranduil@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

So instead they have a thing for getting fucked by giant horse cocks

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

A little breath of air soaked through a losely shut window. And I don't regret it. Maybe they should've done it more and don't fear coming complications?

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The Centauromachy is a great story with many details but no female centaurs.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They suckle from the horse tit. The human tits are for porn and perverts.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Whichever is convenient, just like with dogs, cats and other mammals with more than two teats

[-] unreachable@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

logic counter argument moment

User: do centaur babies suckle from the horse nipples or the human nipples

Assistant: Centaur babies, in mythological lore, are often depicted as creatures that are half-human, half-horse, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. However, given that centaurs are mythical creatures, there are no real biological studies or canonical texts that provide a definitive answer to how they would nurse their young. The concept of centaurs comes from ancient mythology, primarily Greek, and details about their early life stages, including nursing habits, are not commonly found in these myths.

In artistic and literary interpretations, the specifics of how centaur babies nurse can vary based on the creator's imagination. Some might depict them nursing from the human part to highlight their human traits, while others might choose the horse part to emphasize their connection to nature and their animal aspects. Ultimately, the depiction depends on the context of the story or artwork and the message the creator wishes to convey.

User: You're straddling the fence with that answer. Pick one, and justify your answer

Assistant: Given the mythical nature of centaurs, let's lean towards the idea that centaur babies would nurse from the human nipples. This choice is grounded in the symbolic integration of their human and equine traits, emphasizing their human intellect and societal structures, which are often highlighted in mythological stories.

Centaur societies, as depicted in various myths and stories, often mirror human social structures, including nurturing and educational practices. Nursing from the human part could symbolize the importance of the human intellect and societal norms being imparted from a young age, emphasizing the centaur's human heritage and intelligence. This act could serve as a rite of passage, integrating the offspring more closely into the centaur community's social and cultural fabric.

Moreover, choosing the human aspect for such a nurturing and intimate act could underscore the mythical centaur's struggle and balance between their animal instincts and their human capacity for thought and emotion. It highlights the unique duality of centaurs, beings caught between two worlds—human and horse—yet belonging fully to neither, striving to harmonize these aspects within themselves.
