What?!
They don't aspirate when they run, their organs slosh around and just sort of push their lungs enough to keep them alive.
So a medieval charge would have been even more insane for them.
I always thought the fact that turning our heads too fast can give us strokes was rather inconvenient.
Yikes. That’s why I get a little worried about the high velocity neck stuff that some chiropractors do.
Or that sneesing / trying to hold back a sneeze can give you an aneurism. But I guess although it's rare in animals it's not exclusive to humans.
Waiting both sneezing or trying to hold back is dangerous? What are we supposed to do half-ass it?
Rupture an existing one, right?
imagine having a stuffy nose and you can't breathe with your mouth.
wait yeah no we wouldnt be able to play like, any wind instruments, traditionally at least.
As much as I'd advocate for a professional rectal woodwind orchestra, I can't help but feel we wouldn't have invented the instruments in the first place.

Horses were at least marginally less ridiculous before people got involved. Not quite to the same extent as dogs, but compare a steppe horse with a thoroughbred and you'll see that they're smaller and hardier. Much better equipped to live, slightly less able to carry fully armored people on their back.
We're God's creation but God is a lazy kid that rushed the science project for the whole semester in six days and barely half assed it hoping no one digs too deep into it
as long as you ditch the whole "omniscient and omnipotent" part, god is pretty relatable.
i'd like to see you do better when you're literally creating the fucking universe on your own.
