The human body is as magical as it is mysterious. Often, we just go about our day without much thought of exactly how each part is working, and why we are built the way we are. But every now and again, a burning question might pop into our minds. For instance, “Why are some people tall while others are short?” or, “Why weren’t we created so that all humans live to the same age?”
For one person, that question pertained to the way we breathe. “Why don’t we have one big hole instead of two?” they pondered. And instead of turning to trusted Dr. Google, the curious netizen took to Threads to ask a bunch of strangers. But judging by some of the hilarious reactions, it turns out that nobody really 'nose.'
Bored Panda has put together a list of the best responses for you to scroll through after you take a few deep breaths. We also provide the proper answer to the person’s question, and explain why we have two nostrils instead of one. You’ll find that info between the images.
"Our brain is able to put two images together and make them a single image," explains the Aloha Laser Vision site. "Having two eyes helps us figure out how far away something is. Our eyes need to focus, or point themselves in certain ways, differently in order to see things at different distances."
It adds that our eyes can point straight forward to see something very far away, but they have to slightly turn toward each other to see things really close. "The different focuses help our brain figure out what is far away and what is really close," say the vision experts.
