This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You mean running the wires in front of the screen isn't the best design??
We spec'd for stamina, which turned out to be a hard counter to the current meta. We also have a flexible diet, fine motor control, excellent heat regulation, intricate vocalizations, and arguably best-in-class intelligence (although neanderthals did have larger brains, and other apes have better working memory).
But we are suffering from our success really. We were able to dominate even with an unoptimized build. So we have things like an appendix and other vestigial structures. Our spines are serviceable for bipedalism but are prone to developing issues and stress points. And our teeth don't last nearly as long as much of the rest of our body without frequent external maintenance. And our young take a very long time to develop, to the point the actual birth happens basically as late as possible without being a guaranteed death sentence for the mother rather than when the child is ready for the world. Also, humans have a tremendously high ratio of penis to total body mass among primates, making you wonder what kind of freak was behind our character creation.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the appendix actually functions as backup storage for gut microbes.
I think thats a thesis that hasn't been properly peer reviewed (though it does have some clinical evidence), which is to say its not widely accepted as a reason for it to exist (but that that may be changing).
...mother fucker... we were built buy a fucking neckbeard incel...weren't we?
That's actually a very accurate description of the Christian God
Female specimen bleeds once a month and is plagued by hormonal fuckery that makes life unbearable at times. Emotional regulation: hahaha fuck you. Physical discomfort: yessir. Terrible pain from cramps, hormonal migraines and other such hormone related pains: amazing. Acne, oily hair, skin, smelly sweat and bloatedness when hormones go brrrrr: cool.
Vag-hole too small to squeeze out baby head and will often rip open. If unlucky, female specimen will bleed to death after giving birth, leaving baby without protection and food source. Female specimen only has a very small window to procreate and is most fertile when her brain is the least developed post puberty. When her brain is finally catching up in maturity, her body is starting to regress in fertility and getting pregnant is now a risk to her and the baby. Is somehow blamed and often punished for her biology literally fucking with her from the age of 9 to menopause.
I would fucking love if my biggest problem was that my reproductive organs were dangling between my legs and got a bit hot once in awhile.

i mean, men are historically pre-disposed to dying earlier than women. Though i wonder if that actually changes at all going back historically, so at least you have that?
Oh yeah, if god shaped us with clay or something, why the fuck did he make women like that???
Adam was made from clay. Eve was made from Adam's rib and had the audacity to eat some goofy apple. As punishment, all women were doomed to be in horrible pain during childbirth and since they were made from Adam's rib, they are also a man's property. Religion is so kind to us, lol.
That's one of the many reasons why I am a bigger fan of science. It makes more sense and is impartial. If anything, the laws of nature is brutally indifferent to who or what you are and will fuck you over or bless you at random. I can deal with that.
One of my favorite bits in that story is that rib is a mistranslation of baculum.
Lol penis bone.
Once you see that evolution is like the laziest worker ever that wants to do nothing all day but needs the money, and natural selection as the boss that doesn't give a shit and just gives him tasks and only cares if they are done. You will understand why things are the way they are.
"Why is the mop so moldy and disgusting?" Well because natural selection told evolution to mop the floors every day but never said to clean the mop, and the cleaning products are good enough to clean even when the mop is moldy, so there is no need to care about the moldiness of the mop.
Why did you mind go to moldy mops?
Bad experience?
Idk, just a good example since the mold can be thought of as mutations that are not wanted but don't interfere with the survival of the species.
Omits that critical oxygen intake system overlaps with food intake system that can clog causing death. No redundancy on oxygen intake.
Lots of evidence for not-so-intelligent design.
evolution would just call you a bozo and say it's a skill issue. So maybe it was intentional, because it would be funny.
Amon is under the impression that humans are designed, so they're not in the smarter half of humanity
What a great argument against intelligent design and a resounding endorsement of Evolutionary Theory.
Because it doesn't select smarts, but adaptations, people tend to forget that for nature consciousness or smarts are just one more trait
There's a lot of good, but the devs def screwed up with the whole shared breathing / eating tubing. But at least the playing ground is partially even, with other species also at risk of randomly dying from the simple act of food intake.
The most screwed up one is the octopus, for some reason that brains are below their mouths so the esophagus goes through their brain. If they eat something too big they can give themselves a concussion.
That sounds so stupid, I absolutely believe it.
That's a very British documentary as well isn't it.
Lets just get a dead giraffe and cut it open in order to demonstrate something
That would never happen in the US there'd be too many complaints.
Doesn't have to be good, just has to be good enough
'What a piece of work is a man! How Noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In Action, how like an Angel, in apprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?'
Technology my dudes 🤙 if you remove our understanding of electricity and fire we go back to the stone age in less than a year.
Humans are great. We're also shit about some things. We're working on it. It remains to be seen whether we'll get our stuff together before we wreck the planet thoroughly enough that it can't support us in this current paradise mode, but it's not because we are incapable. Our failures are failures of spirit, self-government and self-control, and good values, not failures of "fitness" or that this layout hasn't been successful at getting us this far.
