I really wish that fingernails and toenails weren't a thing. Thankyou for coming to my TED talk

overt menses

very few mammals have them

why us ๐Ÿ˜ข causes nothing but misery and anaemia

we don't need overt menses to have ovulation cycles and ready uterine walls

also, crowded teeth and hair loss can get in the bin

What else would I clip on the tram?

For your next talk could you please expand on (a) armpit hair and (b) feet, in general? Can we have proper prehensile feet like chimps or just something less fiddly rather than this annoying in-between thing

Fingernails - I like. I have realised over the years that mine are a great health indicator. If I'm doing well they are strong as, grow neatly and are nice and pink. If the randomly start to catch and break/split I am getting sick.

Toenails - I don't think about until the little bastard grows and pokes into the toe next door and then I clip them

Thank you for listening to my rebuttal.

(That one weird face hair that isn't there and then grows an inch overnight. It can get in the bin)

The little toe claws are bastards.
