        “animal: evolves to run away from predators as a defense mechanism”

        humans: ayo, catch that shit and put it in circle with wood so they can’t leave, since, you know, they like to move. Also posts provide all their food and water and let them fuck to make more. Eat them with the evil plants.

          ayo evil plants aren’t evil enough. Let’s make little more evil baby plants and from those even more evil baby plants and let’s name the really evil one after a combination of a U.S. state and death itself and then put that shit on the tasty movers

        If you search the web you’re bound to find what I’m about to broach over but humans are pretty much the real life orcs, if we think about it.

        We tolerate serious injuries - even losing limbs - heal at a crazy speed and still remain functional, tolerate foods that other animals consider toxic and as predators we don’t get tired and because of that we evolved an entirely new form of predation called stalking strategy, where we can just give chase to prey until they just fall from exhaustion, as our walking is incredibly low on energy consumption and our complex brain allows us to learn patterns on how and where prey are and behave.

        As a species we’re pretty scary.

        “Blech, this tastes terrible! But we don’t get as sick, so we’re gonna eat it anyway!”

        Offspring who grew up eating it: “This is delicious!”

        Supposedly, Sichuan, China does this but to open their pores and stay cooler during hot weather.
