I'd rather do something more productive, like food and shelter. Preferably salvage some good books so I won't go insane in the years to come.

If I'm the only person on earth I doubt I'd waste my fucking time categorizing the movement of a flying bird

I improvise a catapult with some branches and shoot down the bird with pebbles, then use the sharper pebbles to dissect him and flap his wings around to find out about the physiology of the bird in a controlled environment.

wats your point

I'm really confused at what the point of this is...

There is no trace of humans. No libraries to scrape through. You are the sum of knowledge in the world, as there have never been other humans.

Hunger and thirst can be taken care of, but boredom would come regardless. At least this would give you something to do in a empty world. It's what our ancestors did. They looked around at plain shit and asked "how."

>>2890892
I think our ancestors were a bit more concerned with the practical, like how do I guarantee a good harvest, not concerning themselves with bird wings.

Alright I'm changing this scenario.

You now have no penis or mouth.

god damn I love you assholes. I resign my scenario.

Hey, it's your fault for thinking up half-assed, dumb though experiments.

haha OP sorry to derail your thread, it's a pretty good question too, I'm just not smart enough to answer it.

I would choose to define bird speed in birdulons per cromutop (which is the time it takes for a pebble to drop from my head to the ground).

I would then measure how long it takes other birds to travel a certain span (say, 100 birdulons) by dropping pebbles (now called seculators) from my head (when one hits the ground, drop the next).

I could then keep track of different birds by marking the large rock with a smaller rock.

When I had ascertained which bird is the fastest, I would set about to capture that bird in order to show my dominance over the cruel world I find myself in, and in order to keep my sanity from becoming lost in aimlessness.

Once I had captured this prized bird, I would find a way to have sex with it, even without a penis.

Probably just use my eyes and remember how they fly.

You faggots look too far into things.

Also being the only person on Earth would suck. I'd spend most of my time trying to find other people, if I failed after a long enough time I'd probably off myself.

You could always try to play with dolphins. They'd want to have sex with you, at least.

need to measure distance and time, I'd steal some bird eggs and domesticate the hatchlings, I would then make a grandfather clock using the wood, I would build a long thin bird cage about 50 meters long, on one side would be the bird nest and on the other would be the food I leave them. I would then time how long it takes for them to go from one side to the other.

Having a brain allows me to categorize bird speeds based on observation and memory alone.

But whatever.

Small rocks fly faster, so a robin would be a tiny spherical rock.
A dodo would be an immovable rock because it can't fly (or exist for that matter).
Also note that the correlation between rock and bird is also that of efficiency to kill said bird.

I want to play with ponies. Fuck birds. Useless and hard to catch. At least I can ride ponies and have sex with them.

>ponies

>You are the only person on Earth
>You must be able to discern different levels of speed in which the bird moves (so you can't say that the bird is moving at "bird speed" since there is no constant for all birds).
>You must
who's forcing me to do this?

>>2891293
the huge dragon, of course

Use a pendulum to measure time, watch and time common bird movements.

I define it in birds per second. Second is defined as the length of time I can say 'one thousand and one', and bird is defined as the distance between one side of the stream and the other. The symbol for birds is a penis, and the plural form of birds is birdses.

Fuck you, OP, I'm the sum of all human knowledge.

>Pick up several easy to throw rocks

Bird is not moving, we are moving in relation to it.

Relativity mother fuckers.

I punch the trees to produce wood.
I then arrange the wood in a square to produce a crafting table.
I then build myself a wooden pick and hit the rock with it until I have two stone.
I then build a stone sword out of sticks and two stone.
I wait for nightfall.
I fight spiders and skeleton archers while avoiding zombies and creepers using my stone sword.
I collect all the string and arrows that I can from the spiders and skeleton archers.
In the morning when the sun has cleansed the earth of the evil creatures, I create a bow from some string I collected from the spiders and some leftover sticks.
I shoot the bird. I characterize it's movement as "non-moving". And it didn't drop anything. Fucking mods.
