That walk in the start is the most unnatural thing i have ever seen in my eyes

[tookurkneez]

The tailbone does have a use







When you fall it makes it hurt extra bad..

The appendix is important because it's a "warehouse" of good bacteria. It helps with sickness.

[johnlevin]

Appendix is actually a safe place good bacteria to stay
Tailbone actually helps us keep balance when standing
Not many people can wiggle their ears

The appendix actually serves as a safe place for benificial bacteria to stay.

I wish we still had the sense of hearing prey and predators in our ears. :(

[lilounce]

Already know appendix is gonna be on this list

There is nothing useless in the human body. Although the brain is there for a reason, many people never use it.

[Nappie]

Reading all the comments: how is it possible that humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth but they are also the dumbest?

[dwoo]

In terms of biology, we called these “vestigial structures”

[wrenchesandmusic]

The fact that the appendix was considered useless before but now it was discovered it helps with the immune system should make us think if these vestigial organs are actually remnants of evolution or useful organs we just don’t know their use yet.

Tech Insider is basically Buzzfeed without the bs.

[pizzaking]

Man! I can't wait to be a walking question mark!

[DaydreamingDrawings]

Wassup with that walk cycle at the beginning tho

[crecent]

Why is the guy walking in such a weird way?

[SwrveYT]

My ear muscles work perfectly. When I sense someone coming upstairs I always feel my ears push back (as the stairs are behind me in my room) and then someone actually walks upstairs the same time I sense it

[ensaleekerro]

the tailbone is actually useful, it keeps our spine and some other bones together

[munirhussain]

These aren't useless.They're creating a balance in our body.
