Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
No seriously, evolution fucked up it's cable management. iirc, there's a nerve (essentially the biological equivalent of a data cable) that has an extreme detour, going from the upper neck, looping under the aorta (more or less the largest blood vessel), and then back up all the way to the throat. In giraffes, it's 4+ meters going down the neck and then back up. That is horrible cable management and can actually cause health risks/complications for certain surgeries
The nerve is called recurrent laryngeal nerve if anyone wants to read up on it
Well, to be fair to evolution, surgeries weren't really on its list of considerations. With no surgeries to the neck/chest it won't be a problem at all. Most of us, including giraffes, have no problem with it and it works flawlessly. Is it a detour? Yes. But it works, and that's the only thing that matters in evolution.
It just disproves "intelligent design."
Not if the designer was an idiot 🥸
Yes, it does, because an idiot is by definition not intelligent.
At least we don't have it quite as bad as octopuses, who have a have a risk of dying after eating too much because their brain wraps around their stomach.
Just re-run it
You know if you take all the cables out of your body and put them zip ties, you will die.
Well, that's what happens when you're not careful enough. You can't just go yanking cables! They need to be finessed. To be bought dinner, first.
Instructions unclear: After finessing these zipties, hands now bound under legs.
Now you know

Science rules!
Call me when the IT guys can build boobles
You know lemmy is getting big when you go to the comment section and the top comment is what you wanted to post 😂
Wrong department. Ask the chemistry guys for some estradiol, they can hook you up.
I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful cable management photo as the one on the right. Can't belive I'm having romantic feelings about cable management.
don't feel bad, that picture really is satisfying to look at
The boobs are nice though 👍.
Evolution or IT Guys
Fixed it for ya.
The vagus nerve, gods ultimate cabling f*ck up....
This is what I was going to say! Have you seen the video of it on a giraffe
As an IT guy, my wiring looks much more like the left than the right...
Not even AI is as fake as the image on the right
That’s a real SDI video router using HD-BNC connectors. I worked on rack units with 512 in and outs, this one looks like 256.
Having worked on them occasionally was about to confirm that, but somebody gave it more JPEG already and I can’t quite make it out. They do certain look like BNC/some other coaxial connector though and I’ve definitely have to troubleshoot very similar nightmarish setups
That's balance. Now the right half is just as fake as the proposed origin on the left.
Thinking about my veins and nerves as cables feels wrong somehow
IT guys
posts SDI bank from a studio or broadcast truck
SDI always looks cleaner than twisted pair.
Make a shit code, do a quick sprint, push to a master. Evolution need a huge amount of time.
If I were god I would put out all the nerves and blood vessels outside no more stroke if your dead.
As a stagehand/TVA I also find this quite amusing.
Guys. Anyone know how to slice my cables? I've got a leak hap
