  • I’m just surprised there isn’t a shadow industry of selling blood products fed on people altruistically donating for free (like, as far as I can tell, every country with public healthcare does) with corrupt pseudo-legal marketing ensuring that blood products are not sold for profit (because they sell the bag, not the blood, or they sell the service of delivering blood, or some bullshit like that)



  • Cut your fingernails way too short, then try to pick up something small. Not even with the nail part.

    The hard flat back gives your flesh something to press up against when pinching. Imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your fingers. Easy, right? Now imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your lips.

    As to why they grow and wear out and break, what the hell else should they be made of? Hands take a beating and you’re better off with a material that grows back when it’s worn away.

    And finally, why do we have toenails? Mostly because they used to be leg hands. Your toenails actually grow about 3 times slower than fingernails, so that might be evidence of how much less useful they are to us.












  • Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.

    Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.

    You get most of it out, but there’s still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.

    Also, for most of human history, if you’ve poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you’re ingesting is still poisoned. It’s only recently we’ve worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.
