hey sorry I missed your text, I am processing a non-stop 24/7 onslaught of information with a brain designed to eat berries in a cave

    If our brains had been designed, they’d have been designed for what we’re doing.

      Yeah, “designed” is not the best term here. Evolution doesn’t design, it just throws random shit at the wall and sees what sticks

        Yeah, I think “adapted” would be a better term than “designed” in this context.

          I’d argue that it’s the perfect word.

        And for far far longer than we’ve been living in modern society, evolution designed (in its slapdash, trial-and-error way) us to be the berry-eating cave dwelling mammals we are.

        The only difference is that it’s an active design process instead of a pre-planned one.

          It’s still not design, though. The term is called “evolution.”

            We were designed via the evolutionary process. It’s both words in one! Everyone wins!

        Maybe we were planted here on Earth by advanced beings. Beings that designed our whole evolution and existence in detail.
        At least it’s fun to think about lol

        Edit: what’s with the fucking downvotes? Im just kidding around. Dont become reddit.

          If this garbage is what they designed, they should be fired.

          Out of a cannon.

          Into a star.

            reminder that giraffes have a nerve that starts in their head, goes down their neck into the torso, and then back up into the head.

            if earth life is designed they must have been extremely skilled and extremely spiteful to make shit like this function.

          I find it incredibly confusing how such uninspired and borderline mansplainy tripe gets upvoted more than actual thoughtful comments. One thing though - it definitely wasn’t a joke.

            The whole post isn’t a joke? Wow, you really need to get out more if you think the OP tweet is serious.
