There are a few flaws with that in reality. One is too much risk consolidation. Having every artery in the same place means that it's a very easy target for animals or other humans. Another is that it requires far more complexity to actually distribute resources isometricly relative to their need. It's also easier for disease to grow tumors in a giant mass of blood vessels since they are very homogenous. Another downside is that heat is not distributed evenly so it greatly increases the amount of energy that has to be spent on building auxiliary blood vessels which means the animal has to eat more to achieve the same reproductive success.

Life in reality is balancing many things. Thermal efficiency is a big one, material efficiency is another. Defensibility is a big one, and also genetic simplicity is another. Your body is procedurally generated, not created from a blueprint really. Cells create structure via functional logic in large part, although there are hox genes which encode some basic directionality and relative spatial cell differentiation based on its neighbors and the proteins they are presenting on their membranes.

In other words your body is generated more like a Minecraft world and creating very clean wiring and tubing even if there was pressure for it, would be something that would require a ton of genetic complexity. More complexity means that every single cell has to copy these extra hundreds of genes whenever it copies it's DNA, which raises the overall thermal and nutrient cost linearly. This is the reason people are beautiful on the outside but on the inside look very strange. We do put many of our evolutionary resources into beauty but not in places where it will likely never be seen.

Actually I was master debating myself which way to make the meme.

Both seem funny & inaccurate.

What I posted hints to random design without neatness as a priority, yet facilitated necessities in regards to environment (you know, evolution).

The alternative validates how stupid neat cable management would be:

collapsed inline media

we were designed by slime mold that's what it comes down to

i mean i do get rather euphoric when i'm around my wife, what with all those wife spores she emits constantly

Your wife cultivating their own microsphere and convectively creates airflows to disperse their spores?
Great wife material, you must be an adequate substrate.

i mean they ain't callin me uncle ben because i'm dead

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 4 days ago

... is this the part where you tell me you were dead all along, but that is not the reason for your nickname?

Do you chime on top of every hour like the real Ben? ;)

Maybe a good meme would be, "if creationist were right"
