      How do you picture it? Like a spider monkey, a fox, or like one of those hippopotamus’s who helicopter chops their shit everywhere?

      One sounds useful, one sounds cute, one sounds like your asserting dominance over unexpecting persons waiting in queue

        I feel like different races would have different tails based on what’s most useful to their environment.

    I’d like to reengineer the mosquito to draw blood samples, identify viruses, then create and spread vaccinations.

    But feeling like I’m falling when I’m going to sleep is the only time I really feel alive…

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who has nightmares of slipping on ice and falling down stairs when I sleep. The kicks I do are annoying.

    I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let’s go base 12!

    They are forgetting that TERRIBLE design choice where if you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek it swells up making it easier to bite it on accident again and again.

      There’s also the weird decision to put a bunch of easily-bruised bones in your butt which would normally be used for a tail.

      I once had a creationist defend the coccyx as being necessary for keeping muscles together. That was fun.

          I think they’re calling you out on saying “on accident” rather than “by accident”

            Are both not acceptable ways of typing that out? I know I’m bad at punctuation, grammar and spelling, but I thought you could say you did something on accident or by accident interchangeably.

              Nope, it’s just by accident. Must be a certain demographic that seems to have fallen into the habit of saying it as I never hear people use “on” in real life.

      For some reason when I read this I read “Reticulating Splines” instead of reinforced spines. I was like wow random sims reference.

      i’m not sure i want to know what the first point would look like, moving either the genitals or the anus sounds horrifying, and i especially don’t want to imagine where penis wielders would urinate or ejaculate from if those functions are separated…

      …perhaps we’d do like octopi, reach under and fetch a sperm package that we present instead of a wedding ring? Or maybe let’s just leave it like it is and not create horrors.

      Reabsorption of uterine lining is called being “in heat” in dogs and cats. It’s quite common in the animal world, and it makes all the males very rapey.

      One of the prevailing theories about why humans pair bond is our males can’t tell when our females are ovulating/menstruating so it’s advantageous to be kinder and stick around for more sex.

      TL;DR: I think that’s not a great idea.
