Yeah, it’s something that’s super useful about humans.
They’re very durable, and can follow instructions effectively.
They make excellent slaves, compared to other forms of life.
For me, that’s the resource aliens would invade us for.
It’s us.
Is the living food storage part from like those honey or sap ants, where they have guys with those giant sacs of honey or sap to feed to whoever wants it?
Well that’s pretty cool if that’s it, my brain went straight to cannibalism
It’s called “social stomach”.
OUR food, comrade
i chewed this for the village who wants some
I’m living food storage to myself.
You feed yourself off your large sac?
Sounds like a trait from Rimworld
Too much activity prevents thinking
Maybe that’s what they want.
I’m a little too good at acting as living food storage.
I think living food storage might be a requirement for multicellular life on earth. Who is acting? What am I James Lipton?
It’s sinister that all of life’s necessities are locked behind paywalls.
Monstrous is what it is.
The very concept of earning one’s living, as if we didn’t deserve to be alive without sacrificing said life for the privilege.
There is one kind of prison where the man is behind bars, and everything that he desires is outside; and there is another kind where the things are behind the bars, and the man is outside.
Upton Sinclair
I thought that said “anti biologist” at first
We’re called chemists, and it’s more of a friendly rivalry
Which makes biochemistry what you get when you combine something with its anti particle, organized chaos.
AKA “intelligent design”
Reminds me of one of my favorite articles
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing
me, a big fat guy
I’m like an ant storing all this food. 😃

“it helps you deal with emergencies”
Exactly why we are kept busy.
Shouldn’t it be “lie around”?
Both of these confirm that yes, it is lie down
But what about adipose tissue?
The title is a gem. Decard Cain, you beautiful bastard.
So you’re saying we have an evolutionary example of “eat the rich”? I say we get started - the ants gave us a blueprint.
If we are supposed to lie around then why is it bad for our health
It seems relaxing punctuated by sprinting is good for you
Because we’re also meant to move around.
We’re not meant to do either all the time.
Not moving at all: Muscle atrophy.
Moving too much: RSI.
