Comedian Jerry Seinfeld once said that if the human body were a car, we would never buy one: the maintenance is not worth it! This is especially true for certain body parts, which, according to Reddit users, are examples of poor design and fail us most often. So, here are the most popular answers to the question: “What part of the human body is the worst designed?”
1. “From an evolutionary point of view, the spine. It is literally not designed to support the load of a body in an upright position. Monkeys use their arms in addition to their legs to move around for a reason.”
2. “Routing of the sciatic nerve. Putting it through the piriformis muscle was a bad idea."
3. “Teeth. One set for childhood, one for 60/70 years of life"
4. “Ears.” The eyes have eyelids, the mouth can be closed, but if a very loud sound is heard, the eardrum can only take the shock, and the damage can be irreparable."
5. “Elbow.” How the f*ck is there a nerve that is so exposed that when you hit that spot it sends a shock all over your arm?!”
6. “Let’s be honest, the appendix tries to kill us too often. Something is clearly wrong with him."
7. “Knees. The idea was good, but it needed some tweaking before release.”
8. “I wish my testicles had better armor.”
9. “Achilles tendon. One vulnerable point without a bone shell that will cripple you if damaged."
10. “Sharpened stones that are slowly pushed through the sensitive gums of tiny human beings too young to understand or explain why they cry all the time. And another minus is that the design of these tiny people
11. “Ankles and knees. A woman can produce a whole new person in 9 months, but if she twists her ankle slightly, she will pay for it for the next 50 years.”
12. “Intestines.” I should be able to decide when to empty it completely! At one time, not a little now and then the rest!”
13. “Bony ass! It really hurts to sit on it"
14. “Male urethra. I don't know who the fuck decided it was a good idea to wrap your prostate around your urethra like a doughnut and then make it grow so you can't pee when you're old, but someone clearly screwed up the quality control on this moment."
15. “The fact that air intake and fuel intake are the same system. An oversight like this just sticks in my throat.”
16. “Sinuses.” In all monkeys (and most other animals) the hole is located at the bottom. In humans it is located on top. This is why we appear sick more often - our faces wait until the mucus fills the sinuses 99% before we start draining it."
17. “Laryngeal nerve. It should connect the brain to the larynx. But instead of doing it directly, it goes down to our heart, wraps around the main artery, and then returns to where it started. Since we came from fish, the nerve is from
18. “Who came up with the brilliant idea to place the clitoris on the outside of the vagina?”
19. “Probably the mouth, considering how often people grow up with bad teeth if they didn’t get braces as a child.”
20. “CHEST! Why should a woman carry around this extra weight everywhere in case she might have a child in the future? What if she never has children? And why do we need different shapes and sizes? She will grow up anyway when she has children, t ![]()
