Fun fact, being in pronation for long periods of time can put pressure on forearm muscles and restrict blood flow, causing RSIs. It’s why a lot of ergo keyboards are tilted upwards towards the middle.
On the other hand (hah), pronation is super useful for throwing athletes - especially pitchers. Pronating during a pitch gives the ball a spin, which makes it fly faster. But it also reduces pressure on the shoulder by using the forearm muscles as a natural shock absorber.
The latter demonstrates one reason why we are “built like this”. It’s a very useful mechanism for survival, tool use, and agility. The former demonstrates one reason why our physiology is NOT “built for” for computer and office work.
It’s not that scary. It’s not bending or anything, it’s just the larger bone swinging around the smaller stationary one. Joints pivot and move
The question “why are we built like this”, appears to imply a builder, of which there is none. We evolved this way, along with many other species. And on some level that actually had some randomness which in combination with real world fitness testing drove our evolution. Or you could take a short term view and say that you were “built” like this because your parents had sex, and these were the genes that combined to make you.
“But God made us in his image”
Yeah? So why is my pleasure noodle, and my piss faucet the same organ? Why is my partners faeces dispenser an inch away from her baby cannon? When she gave birth, why did it rip open? Why, as a man, do I have nipples?
If this was all “built like this” I would like to have a go, because this seems like a beta test which received a failing grade.
LoL, have at, Bruh! Doubtless you’ve got this one. Def. no unintended consequences will result. Blah ha ha hahhaaaaa
Hey, I’m an ideas guy, not an engineer. When I say combine the waste organs and leave the sex organs to be sex organs, that’s the engineers job to figure out.
Hands up if you just held your wrist while turning it to see if you could feel the bones cross
🙋 (idk of emojis work here, but I posted the android dude woth his hand up).
Now I want every emoji on the internet followed by a brief explanation of what it is
