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

Well that would just be a gingerbread man.

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.

Why not none? Bones are a terrible affliction.

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.

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

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

I also vote for outside bone instead of inside bone.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 4 points 8 hours 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.

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

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Where would all the soft parts go?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 9 hours ago

If we had just one, it would be very hard to move.

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

[-] Homo_Erectus@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

It would be a lot more painful when drinking BoneHurtingJuice

[-] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 9 hours ago

I went out skiing and broke my... Armbonehiplegneckskull thing

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Off we’re only had one bone then dogs would need to be way bigger and probably wouldn’t be our friends.

[-] Psiczar@aussie.zone 1 points 9 hours ago

Flexibility. If everything was a thick, rigid bone we would be far less agile.

Energy. I imagine maintaining bone density for thicker bones would require more food to be consumed.

Medical. Breaking bigger bones would be more traumatic and debilitating than breaking smaller bones.
