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
If he had just one bone then we wouldn’t rattle when we walk.
Imagine thinking we could walk with just one bone.
Pretty sure you wouldn’t be able to even imagine because nature would have wiped you out before developing that skill
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.
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
genius question. in the next chapter: why do we have 10¹² cells and not just one giant one?
single celled amoeba superiority?
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
Human animal cracker
Capitalism in a fucking nutshell.
OK, show your work.
Dog treat kinda bone
Is an osteoblast posting this? They hate constantly getting their hard work removed by osteoclasts.
No war but clast war
Cellular biology always reminds me how crazy animals are; how much time and how many generations animals must have taken to get here. Its awesome there’s just cells that show up, get supplied everything they need and build mineral deposits. And a fully separate cell type to deconstruct those.
It’s a robust system: when a bone is fractured and not straightened before healing, it will eventually get close to the right shape.
Fraggle Rock helped me understand this part of cell bio (osteoclasts/blasts).
In the underground caverns of your skeleton, a perfect symbiotic ecosystem exists between two distinct groups: the Osteoblasts (the Doozers) and the Osteoclasts (the Fraggles). Just as in Fraggle Rock, their survival depends on a continuous cycle of building and eating, ensuring the structural integrity of their world
Like the industrious Doozers, osteoblasts are obsessed with construction.
The osteoclasts are the carefree Fraggles of this system. They roam the bone surface looking for old, damaged, or unnecessary structures to “snack” on.
Why do I keep seeing the stuff I see in Instagram in lemmy?
Why are you subscribed to thise one and not to other communities? Why didnt you block this one?
I have one big bone right now. Hey, baby
I have but one bone to give!
Bone Apple Pie
