      I see the problem, you forgot to clear your browser cache before evolving. closes ticket

    Efficiency is making the same structure work for dual purposes…like garbage disposal + procreation.

    • kraftpudding@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t think you procreate if you stick it up the garbage disposal though.

        Garbage comes on different states of matter…

      It’s more than just efficient, personally I think it feels pretty good too

    You know what the alternatives are, right? either we have two mouths, or we speak with our nostrils and the silent, gaping hole below only unhinges for the consumption of organic matter.

      I’d take that tbh.

        Good luck speaking when they are clogged up. :/

      Silent? No no no. The gaping hole makes loud chewing noises while the nostrils merily chat away in a sing-songy, whistly voice!

    Maybe we should get an update on the human body. For example, permanently remove Body Hair, since it no longer serves any function.

    • pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It does? Look at your arms when you’re cold, you’ll see all your tiny hairs are standing to help prevent the body from losing too much heat.

        It’s either cold enough that I’m gonna die or it’s not. Those tiny hairs aren’t going to save me in a situation where it would matter.

      It does tho. Reducing friction to avoid irritation and keeping up an isolating micro climate.

    Bro I don’t think you are supposed to look at it to determine which way food goes

      I wonder what the implications would be, if every body part were labeled (including innards).

      source
      • chiliedogg@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It would raise some pretty interesting philosophical questions.

    Sounds like we should optimize that.

    Thinking about how smell might have developed is kind of cool. Some mutation allowing cells to detect smell (something modern science is kind of puzzled by) then just sending those signals to the brain and saying, you figure it out.

    source
    • el_abuelo@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Isn’t smell just particulate matter hitting receptors not dissimilar to how taste receptors send taste signals to the brain? I thought science had this stuff nailed down now?

      source
      • Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s what they theorize. How do you prove it?
