• What are terrible design choices in the human body?

Let's...let's just assume evolution was a person. Mr. Evolution here started from ages yonder, thinking to himself: [I]"Hmm, I haven't made many creatures based on their intellect yet. Let's try that instead of instinctive behavior again."[/I] So Mr. Evolution ends up with us. Turns out Mr. Evolution is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I want to hear Facepunch list the reasons why. Here, I'll begin. By a large average girls have their first menstruation cycle at 12 years of age. That means that [I]technically,[/I] not optimally they can get pregnant and have a kid before they turn 13. That is a [U]terrible[/U] fucking design choice right there. How about you either let them grow properly and THEN get the fertilizing happening or don't make them grow at all and put the energy it takes to grow into raising and nurturing? Pick one and stick to it, don't try to multitask, that's just retarded and useless. Nobody in their right mind obviously gets a 12-year old pregnant but the fact that it's even possible shows how terrible work Mr. Evolution has done in certain areas. What about body hair? As if we need this shit, we don't have thick coating for a reason. We have brains! We can make clothing, fire, warmth, homes to keep the environment from banging us up! Why in the fuck do we even have it anymore? In intimate areas it does serve some purpose of keeping the dirt away but otherwise there is no god damn reason, it's pointless for humans to have shit like chest hair or leg hair or arm hair! Armpits can be justified as they hold in some of the sweat so it doesn't instantly flow down your sides, but for the most part body hair is absolutely useless for us. Pointless waste of resources. Neil DeGrasse Tyson briefly spoke about a similar topic about one of his lectures about intelligent design. Why do we breathe and eat through the same hole? Why do we have an entertainment complex in the middle of a sewage system? Some parts of our body are well made, but the faulty details are just ridiculous. I want to see how many FP can think of.
Asshole hair
Acne on the face and face only, there's plenty of space on the rest of the body but it's always on the face!
Eyelashes and the fact that they can fall down into your eye and fuck you up Hair on your knuckles and the fact that it does literally nothing and just sits on your hand like it fuckin owns the place The appendix and the fact that all it does is explode and kill you like a biological suicide bomb Wisdom teeth and the fact that all they do is pile through your other teeth like an enamel train wreck (and a dental bill of similar quality) Hiccups and the fact that all they do is make you inhale your food and water The vagina and the fact that once a month it gushes blood and makes its owner extremely temperamental and unwilling to have sex - if that's not an evolutionary hinderance what even is it Hair on your butt and the fact that it's hair on your butt.
burn muscle before fat when malnourished
But...but I like body hair...

You should let it load everything up, and that takes time, but you're impatient and launch every application the moment your toolbar comes up after logging in. Shit's laggy. And sometimes, it just crashes if it's really busy, or overheats, but what I can do it. So I will. It should be improved.
Nails suck balls, they just get damaged or ingrown and you also have to cut them regularly
Blushing
[QUOTE=Zadrave;42587202]Blushing[/QUOTE] Blushing girls are so cute, though
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;42587208]Blushing girls are so cute, though[/QUOTE] But when you are the one blushing you want it to go the fuck away
Wisdom teeth, Appendix butt hair as said before
A sad depressed mental state, why did evolution think that was a good idea?
[QUOTE=a dumb bear;42587150]Asshole hair[/QUOTE] Why can't you lose your asshole hair when you get older, instead you have to lose the hair on your head
[QUOTE=Nightfury;42587175]Acne on the face and face only, there's plenty of space on the rest of the body but it's always on the face![/QUOTE] Do you really want acne on your dick
[QUOTE='[Green];42587144']Why do we have an entertainment complex in the middle of a sewage system?[/QUOTE] This line is fucking brilliant
[QUOTE=Ermac20;42587223]A sad depressed mental state, why did evolution think that was a good idea?[/QUOTE] Oh, our psychology is just because of how complex we are mentally. It's like with programming; the more complex the code is, the more bugs are going to appear and the more unstable it can get. I figure it's very similar in terms of behavior. We're affected by so many things in so many ways that there are a lot of scenarios that can be detrimental. Depression is just one of countless symptoms of us not doing well mentally. Ironically our intelligence and social complexity is also our greatest source of anguish.
toe-knuckle hair wispy mustache hair
[QUOTE=Zadrave;42587272]Do you really want acne on your dick[/QUOTE] pretty sure that's called herpes
Wisdom teeth, toenails(they fuckin' suck having to cut and clean them, and if you do them wrong you'll get an ingrown nail and a nasty infection which also SUCKS). And pain, why must we feel it, especially when you get in to an accident and the only thing that is going on in the moment is the unbearable pain.

It began as an evolutionary learning mechanism to avoid harmful things and remains as such. A kid who burns his had on a stove realizes that shit hurts. A lot. So he won't do it anymore, on purpose anyway. It's kind of an extreme way to avoid any kind of damage and it could've been limited to a certain amount of pain you can feel but nevertheless it has a good use.

[QUOTE=Mastahamma;42587413] remember all that knuckle cracking you do? yeah well say goodbye to your finger bones [/QUOTE] Cracking my knuckles doesn't gives me pain. It almost feels good.

They don't tend to live long because they can't really measure how serious is a particular injury, or if they're injured or sick at all. Then again, our mind [I]can[/I] exaggerate the pain we feel, and lead us to make bad decisions. [QUOTE=Smell;42587464] Also, the fact that Testicles are on the outside of the body really screws things up (no pun intended).[/QUOTE] As far as I know, human sperm wouldn't survive and be in optimal condition for procreation in the average human's body temperature. That's why they're outside the body. Now, why they have to be so fucking sensitive...
Appendixes. Who needs them? Wisdom teeth. They solve as much as Appendixes do. They kill you. Same thing with Tonsils. Also, the fact that Testicles are on the outside of the body really screws things up (no pun intended).
The fact that our conscience has no fucking clue how our body looks like or how it works from the inside and we have to have somebody teach us.

Body hair is really just for sex appeal. I wouldn't want to hairless anyways, that'd be gross.
Testicles. All they do is dangle, receive pain, and move under you when you try to sit down.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;42587560]Testicles. All they do is dangle, receive pain, and move under you when you try to sit down.[/QUOTE] They're kind of necessary for reproduction though so what do you suggest as an alternative? If they'd be attached firmly to your legs or crotch they'd get too warm and if they got too hard an exterior to protect them you'd risk chafing yourself with the damn things. Honestly I can't think of how to make testicles any better.
