I ate a too hot omelette and burnt the roof of my mouth again.

Now it feels sensitive and fragile, again.

Why did we as a species, whom are omnivores, develop such thin mouth roofs?

Hippos can crush entire watermelons with their mouths, why didn’t we get a tough inner roof.

    Dam we got trolled by our evolutionary lineage.

    Although birth pain is heavily dependent on position of birth. Western style births where the mother lays on her back is a fetish.

    Most indigenous and other nations perform standing or squatting births, or other positions which are much safer for the mother.

      AND most of you western bastards shit in a half-standing 90-degree position, instead of squatting. Your colon isn’t built for that. Get a toilet stool.

      Interesting, I was initially skeptical but this does seem probably the case. Western culture is so weird, dangit.

        Stems from medical misogyny dating back to the Victorian era. Birthing on one’s back is easier for a doctor to observe, and obstetrics centers the doctor over the person actually giving birth. Everything to stick it to the midwives, who actually knew what they were doing.
