Legs are just arms with shitty hands.
Arms are just legs with shitty feet.
Nah our hands make much better foot substitutes than our feet do hands substitutes. Walking on your hands is way easier than trying to paint a masterpiece or code for hours with your feet!
Nah, check out some apes, they've got opposable thumbs on their feet. Our feet are objectively worse, you can only stand on them.
We're a lot better at standing, walking, and running long distances. Not sure if I'd say objectively worse, just better at different things (but objectively way less cool than peeling a banana and eating it with your feet).
I spend significantly less time doing those things than doing activities that would benefit from having more hands.
I propose retractable foot thumbs, so you can have human-like feet for walking and monkey-like feet for playing the piano with your toes
A lot of body parts would be better retractable but that would also be quite the unprecedented mechanism, so durability wouldn't be great. Sadly, it just wouldn't be practical
You may have discovered the secret of how to return to monke.
Heh in German the word for gloves is literally hand shoe. So you’ve a very German pov.
Same in Dutch. Handschoen.
