Nobody's Perfect But These 48 Human Body Flaws Are Just Stupid

You can control your bladder and sphincter. Why of why isn't there a mechanism to hold in your period?

Eyelashes, designed to keep things out of your eyes but they just fall in anyway.

Right now my skin is itchy for no g*****n reason. I think that's a pretty big flaw.

Over-storing fat.


I mean, I get hanging onto 20 pounds of the stuff just in case you need to tap into that energy - but at 50, 100, 300 pounds our bodies are still like “well better still stock up, you never know if we’ll find any food this upcoming year”.

I like the example of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

It runs from the brain to the larynx. However, to get there it goes from the brain, down the neck, into the chest, around the aorta and then back up the chest, up the neck and then connects to the larynx. That's a massive detour. It also means a blow to the chest can damage your ability to talk.

That something as important as the brain can stop functioning properly because of chemical imbalances.

The brain should be better secured in the head. Rattling the brain inside the skull can mess a person up, so if it was more secure it would be safer.

That we cannot delete or sort unwanted/not needed info and memories from our brains.

The fact that there’s so many things you can do to the human body without k**ling it

But _oh f**k slept wrong and pinched a nerve now I’m f*****g paralyzed_

(Didn’t happen to me, but happened to a semi distant family member a year ago)

Edit: holy f**k this comment took off

Edit 2: To everybody getting paranoid in my replies, don’t worry:

He was sleeping in a crowded camper on a small couch
in a very, very awkward position

This isn’t a very common thing, but it does happen to people. So long as you sleep relatively well you shouldn’t have a problem.

Edit 3: apparently Reddit’s full of health experts who kNoW fOr a fAcT that you can’t do this. He pinched and severed something in his spinal cord from what I remember, I’m not 100% sure if it was a nerve but idk what else it would be tbh.

_Either way the point I was trying to convey was this man went from sleeping to paralyzed, so..._.

The size of the average baby head vs the size of the average v****a.

A stroke. My aunt had one when she was 31 and the healthiest person in the world. Ran an aerobics class at the Y, just perfect perfect health. Went to Pizza Hut with her the night before, next day, massive stroke, almost died, critical surgery, twenty years later she still has trouble speaking. It sucks. There is no reason that should’ve happened. Perfectly healthy person damaged for the rest of her life. She’s still amazing and lovely and my favorite person but d**n is that annoying.

Jugular veins.

Yeah, pop those basically on the outside in the area predators attack, that will ensure and slight mishap will result in death in about 8 seconds.

Thanks evolution.

Definitely motion sickness.

The fact the brain can not regenerate more cells, but practically everything else can. Even though the brain is the most important.

Tumors.

Organ ruptures caused by typical functions going wrong.

Many things about pregnancy.

Periods and ovarian cysts.

Also, for women, that the urethra is so short and so close to the v****a and a**s.

Not being able to hold our breath long (quick oxygen usage).

Peeing a little bit when you sneeze or cough. Wtf, nature?

We're physiologically built to have s*x with as many people as possible as soon as we hit puberty, but practically, socially, and psychologically, that's a *really* bad idea.

Ears being so fragile and irreparable.

Too many pain receptors on feet.
