  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Arms are just legs with shitty feet.

Nah our hands make much better foot substitutes than our feet do hands substitutes. Walking on your hands is way easier than trying to paint a masterpiece or code for hours with your feet!

Nah, check out some apes, they've got opposable thumbs on their feet. Our feet are objectively worse, you can only stand on them.

We're a lot better at standing, walking, and running long distances. Not sure if I'd say objectively worse, just better at different things (but objectively way less cool than peeling a banana and eating it with your feet).

I spend significantly less time doing those things than doing activities that would benefit from having more hands.

I propose retractable foot thumbs, so you can have human-like feet for walking and monkey-like feet for playing the piano with your toes

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

A lot of body parts would be better retractable but that would also be quite the unprecedented mechanism, so durability wouldn't be great. Sadly, it just wouldn't be practical

You may have discovered the secret of how to return to monke.
