    Since long legs would be impossible

    Luckily those long slim arms are completely unaffected by that same gravity.

        You know I almost didn’t post, thinking about that exact point?

        But at least two of them are holding weight on them - rightmost of the front pack and leftmost of the mid pack. Also I’m guessing that they’d still need more robust arms than that just for lifting and carrying in high G, right?

    Spookily accurate. I like the way Earth boy’s just chillin’ in his office clothes (and long boots?) under the crushingly intense gravity, while the hosts bothered to put on lipstick and everything.

      To add to that accuracy, we’re looking at the surface of the solid layer of Jupiter, a gas giant. Jupiter’s only solid at its inner core, which means that the atmosphere these dudes are chilling in is made of metallic hydrogen

        The temperature is also tens of thousands of degrees and the atmospheric pressure is 2000 times that on Earth. He’s doing well, considering.

          Good thing he brought his tractor car.

          There’s also the high radiation. After the sun, it has the highest radiation of any body in the solar system.

    Good old 45 degree cliffs, one of the staples of alien planets.

      Especially alien planets with Jupiter’s gravity. It’s well known that more gravity == steeper cliffs!

    Man, I want one of those living lounge chairs to ride around on. They couldn’t possibly be sentient or anything. I see absolutely no potential downsides.

      How dare you! That tractor car is a beautiful work of engineering!

      Idk, he looks like a perfectly attractive man, in my opinion.

    This is awsome. What is it from? Are there more planets?

    Needing to be massive to deal with the increased gravity is about as dumb of a take as they could have taken.
