Cable bundles like that are not flexible enough to move properly without straining the cables. You have to do concentric twists for that F1/Aerospace quality cable management.

Engineering isn’t so different from medical.

"Commander Riker has dramatically demonstrated to this court that Lieutenant Commander Data is a machine. Do we deny that? No. Because it is not relevant. We too are machines, just machines of a different type."

Is it though? There isn't one part in the human body that has exactly one specific purpose. Everything is something mushy with basically one main purpose and a ton of side-quests. Almost the exact opposite of what engineers prefer.

Squeezing multiple features into single components? Sounds exactly like what engineers do.

I think the funniest part of this post is the nightmares people are getting from zip ties.

The extreme detour of the recurrent laryngeal nerves, about 4.6 metres (15 ft) in the case of giraffes,[32]: 74–75  has been cited as evidence of evolution, as the nerve's route would have been direct in the fish-like ancestors of modern tetrapods, traveling from the brain, past the heart, to the gills (as it does in modern fish).

The same nerve also exists in giraffes and does the same thing so it is consequently fucking massive.

Intelligent design. Same with our eyes 🤣 just put them in backwards and thread the cables through the retina; genius. Octopuses are clearly gods chosen "people".

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The intelligent design geniuses argue that the eye is too complex to have evolved.

"Of course it didn't evolve like that! It started with a patch of light-sensitive cells and worked it's way up from there. And that's happened more than once."

They have to think evolution means that creatures and features popped into existence fully formed. Not only because that's how the Bible tells it, they can't comprehend evolution on a 7,000-yo Earth. And neither can I!

You've got the killer argument though. "Why didn't God bother to make our eyes like he did with the octopus?"

I remember my stepdad citing Pokemon in his arguments against evolution

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Damn! Almost commented that they take evolution as Pokemon!

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

His theological understanding of pokemon was convoluted at best, haha.

He swore up and down that pokemon trainers were witches, and the pokemon were demons they could summon to act as their familiars, and their evolution was symbolic of how much satan's power had corrupted the vessel.

Like, he thought you started with a mouse, then summoned a demon into it and bound it to make it your familiar, turning it into Pikachu. Then as Pikachu evolved into Raichu, that was a sign that satan's power is further corrupting the poor mouse, one of god's creatures.

He was probably just caught up in the satanic panic against Pokémon in the 90s.

The situation was so serious that the Vatican had to "bless" the Pokémon 2000 movie in an attempt to tell evangelicals to chill.
