Why not none? Bones are a terrible affliction.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

You can add new bones to your body any time you please

The human body evolved for resilience: having a large number of bones provides redundancy, meaning that we can break many bones and still have at least one to spare.

It's also partially a vestigial trait, as our ancestors needed to do a lot of boning in order for the species to survive - nowadays we don't need to replenish our numbers as much.

[-] recentSlinky@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago

That explains why no one would sleep with me. It's not me, it's just biology.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, humans can have basically one bone.

They are horrible and agonizing conditions, perhaps similar to being slowly partially or totally mummified by your own body.

Ankylosing Spondylitis, Pfeiffer Syndrome, Klippel-Feil Syndrome, etc.

Imagine your bones all fusing together. You can't bend, or maybe walk, move your jaw, or maybe even breathe.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

I also vote for outside bone instead of inside bone.

Evolution isn't a democracy but sure, freedom of speech

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago

Alan Dean Foster wrote a scif novel called Nor Crystal Tears that was mainly from the pov of an alien insect species. The differences were explored in body structure and culture and the confusion when they run across these weird humans with their bones on the inside... and they made obscene noises with their flapping flesh things on their head.

If he had just one bone then we wouldn't rattle when we walk.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Imagine thinking we could walk with just one bone.

Reject articulation; become dog biscuit

[-] modus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I once met a person with Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Her bones were fusing together and over time she became more and more immobile. She's probably dead now. I hope that answers your questions.

[-] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's horrible. In the end, did she get chucked into her grave like a frisbee?

[-] modus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I heard they just propped her up in the foyer. She probably looked like the image on the right.

[-] xia@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

People would be intentionally breaking bones, for "super-human" flexiblity.

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 weeks ago

There would be no need for muscles with only one bone

Humans are the only ape not to have a penis bone.

i feel cheated somehow.

[-] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm glad we don't. Makes us more flexible so we can fuck in many different positions and angles. Could you imagine doing all of doggy style and missionary and cowgirl and reverse cowgirl and riding and all the other positions with a dick that can't bend like a willow branch? Oof

[-] architect 4 points 2 weeks ago

Lol I’d be keeping a tally on how many I broke off. You don’t actually want that.

Is an osteoblast posting this? They hate constantly getting their hard work removed by osteoclasts.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Cellular biology always reminds me how crazy animals are; how much time and how many generations animals must have taken to get here. Its awesome there's just cells that show up, get supplied everything they need and build mineral deposits. And a fully separate cell type to deconstruct those.
