\u201cDaphne\u201d takes over Twitter as people marvel at runner\u2019s robotic speed Carolco Pictures \/ TikTok, @ubrzatiTwitter is absolutely losing it over Daphne the Runner, based on a TikTok workout video that shows a softball player named Daphne flying full-speed with the calm composure of a robot assassin. There\u2019s running hard and then there\u2019s moving fast. Some people have to put a lot of effort into keeping pace at over 19 miles per hour (maximum human speed is around 28 mph, after all) \u2014 in fact, most humans do. But then there\u2019s Daphne, who seems to maintain peak speed while looking like she\u2019s on a casual jaunt around the park. In a workout video posted by UbrZati, a speed-training workout facility in Melbourne, Florida, a few girls are shown maintaining 19-plus mph speed on a treadmill. Despite the speeds being similar, one of them is not like the rest. Known solely as Daphne, the calm runner has become Twitter\u2019s latest meme as users speculate about her origin story. Before diving into the memes, it\u2019s worth taking a look at Daphne\u2019s poise under pressure. Each girl is going very fast, but one (and you know which one already) is not quite like the others. 19 MPH?! This is incredible \ud83d\ude24 (via ubrzati\/TikTok) pic.twitter.com\/Lbe7OgmUHH \u2014 espnW (@espnW) March 17, 2021 First, examine Daphne\u2019s form. Head: forward, firmly in place, eyes set directly ahead. Arms: unwavering, clean, methodical swipes to maintain velocity. Legs: sharply paced, maintaining form. Typical human tendencies involve heavy breathing and instances of bodily effort when placed under physical stress. Those tendencies are seen in the other runners, who seem to be working hard to keep their speed. Daphne? She looks like it\u2019s another day on the job, as if she\u2019s been trained\u2026or rather, programmed for this. And that\u2019s precisely where the memes went, noticing that Daphne\u2019s sure-headed style is closer to a natural predator or assassin than almost anything else. Daphne is a problem. Everybody else looking like they are being chased\u2026 Daph? Hunting. https:\/\/t.co\/UIW081IRl8 \u2014 Joe Briggs, Esq. (@JoeBriggsEsq) March 18, 2021 \u201cAlmost anything else\u201d is a key point there, as others have quickly pointed out that Daphne might not be the average hunter or assassin. This clip makes it look like she could be built for this. Daphne built different as fuck , she gotta be a T-1000 https:\/\/t.co\/rzg580hYsu \u2014 GUAP (@guapdad4000) March 18, 2021 Referencing the T-1000 android assassin from the Terminator franchise, numbers of people recognized Daphne\u2019s robotic form as incredibly unique and movielike. Of course, there are also memes noting that this might not even be Daphne\u2019s \u201cfinal form,\u201d connecting her casual demeanor to that of Dragon Ball Z\u2019s Frieza before transforming. Whatever the case may be, it seems that Daphne\u2019s commitment to training has paid off \u2014 as people are impressed with her ability to handle strenuous work so comfortably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
