      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.
