  • This is an extreme example if you really want something like an old, ‘dumb’ phone from the past while still using modern hardware:

    • Remove any non-essential apps to making a call or text. I would only keep F-Droid to keep your launcher up to date (unless there’s a built-in updater)
    • Replace your current launcher with something more minimal like Minimo Launcher
    • Optional: Install a game (Just one!) like Breakout 71 for something to do on your break (Like how old phones had a game to play)
    • Disable all notifications not related to phone or text
    • Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, All Location Services, anything that isn’t essential to making a call or text.

    EDIT: forgot to add:

    • Only re-enable Wi-Fi for updating your launcher and/or game. Disable when you’re done.

    Congratulations, you’ve successfully ‘dumb downed’ your smartphone.










  • Math can help solve this:

    m = 0.5 # human
    h = 0.5 # horse
    
    C = m + h # Centaur
    

    So Centaur is 50% human, 50% horse. Half human, half Centaur would be:

    # Expand
    C / 2 + m
    m + h / 2 + m
    
    # Combine
    (m + h / 2) + (2m / 2)
    3m + h / 2
    
    # Solve
    3(0.5)[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
    1.5[m] + 0.5[h] / 2
    0.75[m] + 0.25[h]
    

    Which is 0.75 human, 0.25 horse

    Therefore, this hybrid is 75% human, 25% horse

    To answer your question: This would probably be a human with a horse tail, and 2 horse legs.
