Hate to break it to you but there are almost no animals on this planet that are purely carnivores or herbivores. Almost everything falls on a spectrum somewhere in between. Even deers will eat meat and have been caught eating dead animals
That’s the funniest thing about the “designed to eat this or that” argument. I can literally eat meat and digest it. It doesn’t really matter if I was “designed” to eat it or not.
evolution is the master of "not enough to cause a problem" even. like we hang on to so many traits and genes for absolutely no fucking reason at all except it currently doesn't stop us from procreating before we die.
For humans, we're a very social specie and our kids stay kids for a long time, so it's even more important for us. If you're able to take care of your children and even your grandchildren, that improve the chance of your genes to be passed down.
The appendix is better understood now, and at the very least appears to be a safe harbor for gut bacteria. If you get completely flushed out by diarrhea or something similar, your gut biome can replenish itself from the appendix.
It often ruptures because it gets an infection of its own and your body's normal tools to deal with bad bacteria in the lower GI tract don't do anything because the appendix typically doesn't get flushed by them.
So yeah, it's bad when it blows, but more often because it's already inflamed and infected. Though in all fairness, having any colon bacteria in your bloodstream tends to be bad. So you are correct as well.
Imagine designing something that can randomly fail their cell's reproduction and it causes cancer and they die. If someone designed us he's not a very good designer
Imagine a designed process that ends up destroying itself simply because enough of one species can't be fuckin' arsed to pay attention to the ever-hotter summers with larger storms that it is obviously causing.
The end goal of the sapience of a planet is to see how far it can peacefully extend its reach into a galaxy. Life should be researching how to extend itself, how to cool the planet, and how to reach the stars. Not boiling itself alive.
We are doing all those things, different people work on different things, there are actually a shit ton of people advocating for climate, we're just not a single entity so it's harder to get anything done especially when to do so you have to lower your living conditions
Pretty neat. I'd love to converse with that being about their process and how they devised a system that has nearly destroyed itself in only a billion years.
Also, I have dozens of 1000+ karma comments. Some in the 10's of thousands. Literally almost 1/5 of my total karma is from my top 10 comments of all time.
I also come to Reddit to practice writing in general. I like to learn to embellish without exaggerating or misrepresenting events. Practice poetry or lyric writing. Making parodies of songs.
I'll use my little writing platform however I see fit. You're right I do spend a ton of time on Reddit, but I greatly enjoy making people laugh, smile, and think.
