Still the most noble form of transportation is to be carried around by others, walking yourself is for plebs. Show us your palanquins then!
>>1902636Based. The brown serve the white.
>>1902675wrong, the weak schlepp the mighty!
>being paraded around for all the gutterdwellers to seeNo the chinese had the right idea here.
>>1902704If you have to go down the asia alley then at least go wapanese.
>>1902706They do make nice palanquins
>>1902707But then I prefer the raised platform palanquins, the view is nicer and you can project power better.
>>1902709
>>1902711
how is the ride quality ? might be wobbly / bouncy
>>1902716It is better than walking yourself at any time. The ride quality improves the more bearers you got. The lowest you wanna go is two bearers, and that is already the budget option.
>>1902721The more bearers you got the better obviously. A good set is like 24 bearers for a smooth and efficient ride.
>>1902723If you like extras like your spouse, a tv, minibar etc. you want more bearers, if you want to go for a sporty ride, get a single seater and a dozen bearers. Pic related is Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Phillip going for a stroll.
>>1902727You can go more, but you'll be dead slow.
>>1902723No you can have one, it's just a frame slung on a guy's back that you sit on.Only works if the person being carried is small enough
>>1904471poorfag deteced

Not so much in the modern world...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9G-piN_7r8

i was at burningman early one morning when i saw this crew of fat, trashy juggalos on a shaded mattress on castor wheels being pulled by one other fat midwesterner on foot while the others were laughing and having a good time. that was probably the most wholesome memorable burningman vehicle i saw
>>1905361That's not a palanquin. 2 guys is minimum, 4 is halfway dignified.
>>1904982No it's a terrain issue, one man can walk where two cannot.
>>1906577excuses nothing but excuses.
>all these fat whiteoids
>>all these fat whiteoids
>>1902716Depends on how many negroes you purchase and how well they're trained.
>>1902636Palanquins only work well when the bearers are all the same height. Otherwise you're in for a fun time.
>>1908450Oh darling, you can have also fun times when your bearers are all the same height.
>>1902729>that photo is from 1989Holy shit, they went all out in film technology for that one.
>>1908666Oh hello Satan, how are things?
>>1908666zoom zoom
>>1907799You just know
>>1908635Never knew Elon Musk got around like this.
>>1902636put it on wheels and have the peasants pedalmuch faster
>>1919736Yeah no. A Rikshaw just doesn't hold up to a Palanqueen.
If you actually use one of these for transportation you're a faggot. If it's like a ceremonial thing then that's cool.
>>1920103t. normie
>>1908635>>1907795What’s the story behind this shit? Is it some kind of fetish thing that people pay for?
>>1926267Na, just a fashion statement.

>>1946374>>1908703Since you had to reply to my comment from 4 months ago:I was referring to the low level of grain and detail which is atypical for a 35mm film photograph from that time. >>1908687 is a lot more along the lines of what you would usually expect.My theory is that it was shot on medium format film.
>>1946454In the land of Canon and Fujicolor they know how to honor their dead emperors.
why does this trigger people?
>>1960767Palanquins in general is one of the most culturally-enshrined forms of transportation, and is inherently a status symbol that displays one being raised and transported by many others, with the assumption of social supremacy.Why would it be unreasonable that playing with such a classic formula triggers a response?(actually not sure if you're referring to just that image, which isn't that shocking compared to others in this thread)
>>1960771>They see me rollin>They hatin
faster, slaves!
>>1960771>a status symbol that displays one being raised and transported by many others, with the assumption of social supremacy.what I keep saying, palanquins are peak status, I wonder why not more rich people use it.
>>1902675If only

>>1986448thanks fren
can palanquin carrying be a good workout or no
>>1990837yes, it is a great workout.
Few storage overheads...
Hey, even the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob got in on the act. The Ark of the Covenant was supposedly not only a box holding holy relics from the Exodus, but its gold lid (the "mercy seat") was where the Israelites believed the Spirit of the Lord hung out before they were able to build a proper Temple for Him. It was a palanquin for God, carried about on poles by priests.
>>1996724Pic related. Although according to Exodus it was a bit bigger than this and carried by 12 dudes, not 4.
>>1996725yeah, the Falasha of Ethiopia are supposedly one of the original tribes of Israel, there were originally 12 I think, I can't remember the name of the guy who the tribe is named after but supposedly he ended up with the arc of the covenant. real or no, they still have the fucker stashed in their temple, but they parade it around as your pic shows once a year on one of the high holy days.

Reading right now of the battle of Cajamarca in which the Sapa Inca Atahualpa had his palanquin bearers killed from beneath him as he was pulled to the ground by Pizarro's men>lined with plumes of macaw feathers>adorned with plates of gold and silver>borne by EIGHTY CHIEFS in rich blue liveryhttps://books.google.com/books?id=0QUVAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA53#v=onepage&q&f=falseImagine seeing an palanquin with EIGHTY bearersImagine the sight of that thing coming down as it's bearers were killed, wow
>>1902636add rotors
>>1905074>>1902712kek
>>1907799what a dapper bloke
>>1902636The most important thing is make sure all your bearers are about the same height and walk evenly.Nobody looks noble when they're clinging on for dear life because of everything getting pitched around like mad.
>>2018149you can hide the smol ones on the rear and just ride at an angle.
>>2018151Got that Kanpur Squat
I sometimes fantizise about traveling exotic cities, carried in my large and luxurious palanquin. As I peek through the drapes from my elevated position, I browse the local talent for young women to invite and breed. Obscured only by the sheer curtains of luxurious silk, the contours of our steamy copulation is outlined as we move along the busy streets.
>>2021006unusual designcarried on head is a strange choiceI guess they need to find four guys of the same height haha
>>2021236seems to be the norm in western Africa. Should make for an extra smooth suspension and a comfy ride.
last one. it's been fun.
Why are there dozens of missing thumbnails? It must be those serial killers again!
>>2024535I've seen this in other boards. 4chan must be having another melty.
it's because the thread is so old
