I had bad carpal tunnel. I still do, but it was worse.

They do a test where they use some crazy BDSM shit and shock your arms to measure the response in your nerves (which indicates compression) and then they do a needle thing to measure the movement of your muscles.

The sick fucks said that second one would be "unpleasant" but it was like my hand was on fire the whole time.

If your fingers get tingly, get wrist splints for sleeping. That's it

It's not really skeletal it's muscular.

The human body is a wonder of completely random chance, but a complete and utter failure of any kind of system. Anyone who isn't a transhumanist is a total jobbernowl, in my humble opinion.

we have organs that only exist to kill us, our mouths are completely fucked, our bodies will just stop making vitally important chemicals, it's stupidly common for our bodies to kill themselves because it freaks out at perfectly benign things, our super special brains take very stupid shortcuts, and of course the bones. A biologist could probably go on for hours about the failures of evolution, but i am not a biologist.

What's wrong with our mouths?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (7 children)

@kraftpudding @shani66 teeth and gum problems, the ability to get brain freeze or literal saliva stones

We should have flaccid teeth that only get hard when we are hungry and see food

It would have cost you nothing not to promote the concept of tooth boners.

i'm incredibly salty about how our "only air please" tubes are connected to "everything goes through that" tubes, like what the fuck

Don't forget that our spine would prefer having us walk on all fours

Don't get me started on knees

Wrists are also surprisingly weak.

My dad had to get one replaced. That was a sucky year for him.

I don't remember the show (or even if it was a show) but a guy went to the doctor to complain about his back pain. Doctor said that it might clear up in several thousand years. Confused, the patient asks for clarification. Basically, humans went bipedal too soon, and our spines weren't made to be upright for so long at a time. The doctor's analogy was that we "turned a clothesline into a flagpole".

Louie, whatever anyone feels about its creator it's still a great show.

It's the reason we have so many birth complications. Why do you think we are the only animal on the planet that is bipedal all the time? It's actually really mind bending how we survived and thrived

[–] [email protected] 60 points 7 months ago (7 children)

Technically...birds are bipedal all the time. They went about it very differently though.

We are just too stubborn to die out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Figured out the one trick Nature didn't want you know - evolution can be circumvented by sheer ignorant willpower.

No shit. Humans started walking on two legs, suddenly giving birth is fucking atrocious. That was natural selection at work and we should have taken the hint.
