No seriously, evolution fucked up it’s cable management. iirc, there’s a nerve (essentially the biological equivalent of a data cable) that has an extreme detour, going from the upper neck, looping under the aorta (more or less the largest blood vessel), and then back up all the way to the throat. In giraffes, it’s 4+ meters going down the neck and then back up. That is horrible cable management and can actually cause health risks/complications for certain surgeries
The nerve is called recurrent laryngeal nerve if anyone wants to read up on it
Well, to be fair to evolution, surgeries weren’t really on its list of considerations. With no surgeries to the neck/chest it won’t be a problem at all. Most of us, including giraffes, have no problem with it and it works flawlessly. Is it a detour? Yes. But it works, and that’s the only thing that matters in evolution.
It just disproves “intelligent design.”
Not if the designer was an idiot 🥸
Yes, it does, because an idiot is by definition not intelligent.
At least we don’t have it quite as bad as octopuses, who have a have a risk of dying after eating too much because their brain wraps around their stomach.
Call me when the IT guys can build boobles
Wrong department. Ask the chemistry guys for some estradiol, they can hook you up.
You know lemmy is getting big when you go to the comment section and the top comment is what you wanted to post 😂
You know if you take all the cables out of your body and put them zip ties, you will die.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a beautiful cable management photo as the one on the right. Can’t belive I’m having romantic feelings about cable management.
IT guys

The boobs are nice though 👍.
The vagus nerve, gods ultimate cabling f*ck up…
This is what I was going to say! Have you seen the video of it on a giraffe
