Bro myopia is the least stupid part of our eye design problems. Our retinas are built entirely backwards for no other reason besides evolution making a mistake and then duct taping over it too much to fix it later.

If your retina was the right way around (like cephalopod eyes) you would have:

• No blind spots
• Higher fidelity vision even with the same number of receptors since the nerves and blood vessels wouldn’t interfere like they do now
• much lower likelihood of retinal detachment since you could attach it for real in the first place
• possibility for better brightness/darkness resolution since blood supply could be greater without affecting light passage
• possibility for better resolution because ganglion nerves can be packed more densely without affecting light passage
• The ability to regenerate cones and rods because you could, again, ACTUALLY HAVE SUPPORT CELLS WITHOUT BLOCKING LIGHT TO THE RETINA

Our eyes are built in the stupidest way possible.

Another fun fact: retinol is regenerated by your liver. Not your eyes, not some part of your brain, not some organ near your head like your thalamus which could probably get the job done if it tried, your fucking liver. Your eyes taking a while to adjust to the dark has basically nothing to do with your eyes; it’s because of the delay in adjustment by your fucking liver to produce more retinal, dump it into your vascular system and wait for it to hopefully reach your eyes. Why are we built like this?!

Edit: A few comments asked for sources on the relation between dark adaptation and liver vitamin A. So I went looking for sources. It was honestly somewhat difficult to find information, but I was able to find two different case studies showing that night blindness in patients with damaged livers. Specifically these individuals had liver damage that affected their serum Vitamin A levels. And after raising their vitamin A levels, their symptoms improved.

This study details a patient with normal day vision and no other ocular problems besides being unable to see at night.

The patient had a medical history of stage 4 non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis, which led to a malabsorption of vitamin A, as confirmed by the very low vitamin A level in the serum analysis… …Subjective improvement in symptoms, along with better performance on visual field, were noted after initiating oral vitamin A supplementation for 6 months.

This study details a patient with night blindness caused by low levels of vitamin A presumably due to Hepatitis C.

Case description: This case describes a 64-year-old female patient with symptomatic VAD, likely secondary to liver cirrhosis in the setting of Hepatitis C. The patient presented with night blindness and blurry vision. She was successfully managed with direct replacement of Vita-min A.

These studies do show that dark adaptation is dependent on vitamin A produced by the liver, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s not exactly conclusive evidence of my initial claim that the liver must respond to dark conditions increasing retinol concentration in the blood in order for rod cells to function properly in low light conditions. That is a possible explanation for these case studies but not necessarily the only one, so take my last fun fact with a grain of salt.

Evolution: bruh all that matters is that you are a horndog.

no but honestly, periods are great. The feeling when all that extra blood leaves your body is amazing. Guys will never know what it's like being somewhere and sudenly feeling warmth blood running down your legs out of nowhere. Amazing. 10/10 would ome back as a woman again

I forget who but a comedian said it well. If we were intelligently designed it was the first design. Why would they ever put the amusement park right next to the sewage system?

This D&D alignment chart is weird...

What’s the smart nerve taking a detour one?

Also, Appendicitis is when your Appendix, a vestigial organ which produces small amounts of Vitamin C, randomly explodes and kills you.

Thought that knee diagram was a pelvis at first glance and was wondering how that was related to sports.

Human body is worse than all the JS npm drama shit

Who the fuck would design ingrown nails??

I used to argue this stuff online. I had to quit for my sanity. If anyone wants a sample of the absolute insane beliefs and the staggering amount of handwaving these people are capable of, I suggest checking out evolutionfairytale.com. They will unironically claim to be objective, then a sentence later tell you that "proper science literature" is to be discredited because it has a pro-evolution bias. 🤣

You forgot the nose when sleeping! It produces snoring, giving your location and sleep status away to nearby predators!

I'm sorry gotta go on a tangent rant I was recently talking to a friend about pregnancy and it is fucking mind boggling. Organs shift, skeleton changes, and then all the crazy chemical stuff going on too.

The fact that millions of women want this and many experience it more than once is just mind boggling to me.

Eta: sorry my tangent was inspired by "childbirth is fun" but only showing the pelvis.

Someone recently pointed out the bottom left one is because we can see color better with our eye design.

Are the other ones still valid?

It's intelligent design; the divine is also just sadistic and a dick.

Oh, but you forgot that all the problems are because the first woman ate the wrong fruit. The bible says that is why pregnancy hurts. The rest of those problems? Well creation scientists have determined that sin caused those too even though the bible didn't specify it. They know this because they need it to be the case to keep believing in their mythology.

Wisdom teeth were amazing to have back when dental care didn't exist and our teeth fell out from decay or injuries.

The nerve thing bothers me. I wish to learn nothing more of it

And amazingly 7 billion of us still breathing and at least half of us think they can do better 😂

Don't forget "the bush that tells theocratic ephebophiles that it's no longer pedophilia"!

The nerve going down around the heart artery also applies to the giraffe. It does the exact same thing from brain to heart and around that artery the back up to the throat.

I have seen creationists holding bananas and declaring that they are the perfect size for human hands and proof of intelligent design. DUH ... that banana took centuries to design and the fruit company has a patent for designing it.

Hey, is myopia reversible without surgery? Anyone knows?

Where is Doctor Pangloss when you need him?

Also hiccups

The periods one is actually addressed by most creationists. In the book of Genesis, Eve (and consequently, all other women) is punished with the pain of childbirth for falling for the lies of the Serpent, and so most creationists view periods as part of that curse. Pretty messed up but that's how they see it. The vagus nerve is completely nonsensical under intelligent design but makes complete sense under evolution. The biggest issue I see is why TF God made everything in the universe look exactly like it's way older than it is. The best argument I can come up with is that it was an epic prank to totally own the libs who find all of this stuff 6,000 years later. Like God is like "Hah you just got pranked you stupid nerd! That'll teach you to be curious about all the cool shit I made!" To believe in creationism is to believe that a huge swath of scientists across an incredibly broad set of fields are part of the largest conspiracy ever conceived of to try to discredit the Bible, or that God is an evil trickster who intentionally laid this giant trap to damn countless souls to Hell.

also the eye development, Cephalapods dont have this weakness, the blindpsot, because of different evolutionary mechanism.

My patella tracking is off and I’m furious about it.

Rabbits' digestive systems are so inefficient they have to eat their own shit to get enough nutrients.

no loving god could create the shoulder joint

It might be intelligent design but not perfect design. I mean we build stuff with flaws too and consider ourselves intelligent.

If God or some space alien was really good with biotech and had these parts laying around the result is pretty good. Most humans function for several decades before stuff breaks. The earth is also a pretty stable ecosystem.

Both much better than we could build.
