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

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

But you see it isn't a failure, in fact it's literally the most successful yet. Evolutionary adaptations don't come about because they make life comfortable they make it so one can live long enough to make babies, everything else is just a bonus

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

And penises have some magnificent garbage wiring, leading into all sorts of fun stuff you wouldn't wish on your enemy. Evolution is just a giant brute force mechanism. An LLM of biology, if you will.

I agree with the sentiment, but trans-humanism as a concept has to fight uphill in all directions to not wind up as repackaged eugenics.

To improve upon the human form in a way that serves future generations is a path fraught with ethical problems. How does one value a change or augmentation to human form as an improvement? Who gets to improve or be improved? What happens when the technology or treatments are too resource intensive or expensive for everyone? What keeps the rich and powerful from hoarding all the life-extending improvements from the rest?

At the very minimum, supplying something like an inject-able gene therapy to the masses must be conducted at a global scale - far greater than what it took to eradicate smallpox. Anything less, and we're picking winners and losers, and slide down the slippery ethical slope.

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

We are just too stubborn to die out.

Not only we're the only bipedal mammal, we have the biggest head relative to our body out of any animal. That combination is just not a good time for anyone involved

Wrists are also surprisingly weak.

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

I got my hand issues checked out way too late. Turns out I had REALLY bad carpal tunnel. My only treatment option at that point was surgery. I could hardly use my hands for 5 months before the surgery. Both hands got the ligament in the palms snipped and now everything is pretty good.

If your hands hurt and/or feel weird and/or don't work right, see a fuckin doctor. Don't wait like my dumb ass did lmao.

I didn't find nerve conduction studies too bad but by that time I'd spent 18 months feeling like I was holding my arms over a fire so a different unpleasant sensation was basically like a cool towel on sunburn :p

Also I'm a like please-skin-me-a-little masochist, so maybe it is bdsm shit :p

What are shoes doing to our arches?

Walking barefoot all the time is also bad for our legs and feet, but in different ways. Because we made our ground too hard and we aren't allowed to sit down often enough.

So it's more "stupid agriculture, pulling us away from the nomadic hunter-gatherer life we're built for"?
