Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

    Pelvises that can accommodate both upright walking AND the size of human brains without, you know, killing the humans during birth.

        Who needs wider pelvises when you can break your child’s collarbone instead?

        Source: My collarbone broke when I was being born.

            I’m not sure, I wasn’t really paying attention since I was brand new lol.

            But the doctor wasn’t worried. In fact she told my parents that within a few months it would be impossible to tell my collarbone was ever broken.

            The Internet says children typically wear a sling for 3 to 6 weeks for a broken collarbone. I’d assume my parents just swaddled me or something. I’ll ask them.
