Berries in a cave (lemmy.world)

Janel Comeau @VeryBadLlama

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.

[-] Hexagon@feddit.it 36 points 9 months ago

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

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

It's still not design, though. The term is called "evolution."

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

Definitely a joke captain obvious.

[-] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml -1 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

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.
