Why's It So Hard to Swat a Fly?

Missed it, got away. We’ve all been there. Just why are these pesky houseflies so hard to swat? The answer might lie in the way they see the world and sense time.

I figured they were so small that the wind from an incoming hand/swatter could push them out of the way.

Time Moves very slowly for Flies. Also the Flies Have special type of eyes with many compartments.

Set AC to 60 degrees and the fly is now in slow motion

My strategy against fly: slowly close the distance and hit it fast. For weapon I use my hands.

Every buddy gangster until the flies show up

But humans can see higher than 60Hz. There are 120Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz gaming monitors.

*I've smashed a fly with my bare hands so that only means one thing... "you're q wizard harry"*

I have a technique for killing flies

1. Make sure the fly is within your reach
2. Get behind the fly
3. Raise your hand up silently behind the fly
4. Smack the table/wall as hard and as quickly as possible.
5. Good job, you did it :)

Aye I catch them dumb flyes flies what ever you call it with my bare hands... my dad wants me to kill it using one of those lighting tennis bat and my mom be like let them stay they also have a life just like us... and you know what the most annoying part is... idk why but there is always this one fly which learns humans skills or movements so fast and it never dies even if you try hard to kill it... and the second annoying part of having flies roaming around your house is when you have 2 flies adoring your house they produce small babies which kinda sucks lol... I kill them my dad wants me to kill them but he grabs a blanket and calls me to join open the front door and chase them out which kinda works...
