The human body is basically the project from a picky client who wanted both bipedalism and a big head and refused to compromise on either so we ended up with this bullshit
Designer: if you want the head that size, you should really consider knuckle walking so the pelvis can actually get the baby out
Client: NO!!!! REDESIGN THE BABY HEAD SO IT'S SQUASHY
Designer: Have you thought about laying eggs? That might work with your project?
Client: NO!!!! Placental or bust!

@stavvers Designer: Umm… Maybe separate holes for breathing and eating?

Client: We don’t have the budget for that!!

@catnip @stavvers
Designer: What about gills?
Client: Those aren't compatible with the 'lungs' integration we're locked into contract on.
@catnip @stavvers at least they didn't cheap out on a cloaca
@stavvers can you imagine if humans laid eggs though? That'd be hilarious.
@stavvers or it was agile and different teams were responsible for differnt parts, without any coordination
@stavvers Maybe that’s what the Tree of Knowledge actually did, made humanity have massive skulls. Hence God getting mad that his careful design work got ruined and Eve getting that painful childbirth curse.
@Nickiquote @stavvers so, we should have reached H. Habilus and said, "We got this."
