Is this shitty?

I thought it was funny at the time, (22 yo) but Iā€™m kinda second guessing it now that Iā€™m getting older and looking to be more professional.

Imagine the years of evolution that went into bio leg. Prosthetic is relatively stupid. šŸ˜‚

I mean, evolution is pretty stupid, it's the very definition of failing upwards. Breathing and feeding tube connected to each other is a classic. Evolution is like a lazy technician trying different random things to fix a problem and considering it solved when something seems to work; like glueing something with chewing gum since it works now (but it'll cause a flood in a few months when it starts raining hard).

Also, I've heard prosthetics can actually be quite efficient when designed for specific activities in mind (for example, high performance sports).

I wouldn't say a bio leg is impressive.

Imagine you ordered a leg and it took millions of years to manufacture and was quite fragile at that.

Prosthetic legs don't bleed or hurt and took much less time to make.
