It'll never happen as long as the Dollar is God and King, and the Uber rich control tech and politics. It would be awesome though.

I still have a desire to find a hydroponic/greenhouse solution the "simplest sustainable meal", something (or set of somethings) that can provide mostly complete nutrition that can be grown in one's basement or greenhouse or what have you. Unfortunately food variety is both the spice and preserver of life.

I'm a stay at home Dad. Probably the single thing I learned in college that I use most often is vetting sources for bias and accuracy.

Trying to figure out how to make a balanced diet is insanely hard, if you're interested in finding actual information about what our bodies actually need.

Facts? This is the internet! [Insert T'Challa "we don't do that here" meme]

Thanks for reminding me to check my knowledge before regurgitation. I first heard of persistence hunting in a college class but there's no more reason (well, not much more anyway) to believe some random college professor than the internet without actual research :-)

There's multiple reasons, from lower mass leading to fewer injuries when falling to different shapes being more robust.

Possibly the biggest one relevant to us is that human bodies aren't built to take a fall. We are great apes, but we descended from the trees a long time ago, and our body shape has changed dramatically to adapt to our vertical, ground-running lifestyle. We are incredibly well adapted to run long distances, actually ludicrous distances by animal standards. We're persistence predators; before we invented sharp sticks we killed things by just running behind them until they died of exhaustion, then carrying the corpse back home.

Also it should be noted that that fall probably did hurt the orangutan, but what's he gonna do? Lie down and whine about it? Most animals even when badly hurt will try to get back up immediately because injury often means danger, predators, and you gotta get your ass out of there and lick your wounds somewhere safe.

I haven't seen shittymorph around in a while, I realized just now that I've grown lax in my dilligance.
