Reject articulation; become dog biscuit
People would be intentionally breaking bones, for “super-human” flexiblity.
There would be no need for muscles with only one bone
I didnt break my collarbone on purpose but I feel very bending, and much pain when I over stretch the ligament
I once met a person with Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Her bones were fusing together and over time she became more and more immobile. She’s probably dead now. I hope that answers your questions.
That’s horrible. In the end, did she get chucked into her grave like a frisbee?
I heard they just propped her up in the foyer. She probably looked like the image on the right.
genius question. in the next chapter: why do we have 10¹² cells and not just one giant one?
single celled amoeba superiority?
Humans are the only ape not to have a penis bone.
i feel cheated somehow.
I’m glad we don’t. Makes us more flexible so we can fuck in many different positions and angles. Could you imagine doing all of doggy style and missionary and cowgirl and reverse cowgirl and riding and all the other positions with a dick that can’t bend like a willow branch? Oof
Lol I’d be keeping a tally on how many I broke off. You don’t actually want that.

That is a horrifyingly more elaborate piece of equipment than what I would have expected
We’d be doing the T-pose but unironically
But if you wrapped muscles around the rigid bone frame, we could probably still wriggle and flop about. We’d find a way, it’d be okay.
T pose with serifs on the T, probably
Like an unrendered humanoid character model in a video game
Dog treat kinda bone
Capitalism in a fucking nutshell.
OK, show your work.
I have but one bone to give!
Bone Apple Pie
Ok I do get why we aren’t just one big bone, but why don’t our palms and feet fuse?
Can you imagine stepping on a rock when every bone in your foot/ankle is fused?
Seems like a recipe for broken bones and never being able to run anywhere, ever.
Edit: I shouldn’t need to explain why the bones in your hands aren’t fused, assuming this initial comment isn’t a joke in the first place.
No actually this was good I forgot about rocks and that we also bend our palms to grip things. Sometimes u get a brain fart
Sometimes brain need help, no shame
Those are the ones we move the most.
Because then they would be immobile without any joints between the bones. If they were one big bone, they’d essentially be a block of wood shaped like a hand/foot
Having a bone is perfectly normal for around half of humans.
For a human having two bones is not normal. Also for 3 bones, 4 bones and so on. Curiously having a few bones is normal for some animals, such as dogs.
Then it’s normal again for humans to have around 206 bones.
This is one of life’s great paradoxes.
“one bone” still has teeth
Those are luxury face bones, they don’t count.
To make archeology more interesting.
Mm yummy bone cracker. Mmmmm
They’re called chiropractors and that’s a weird thing to say about them
