minus-squareUriel238 [all pronouns]linkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoThis raises a valid point. Why is the default bone shape an elliptic cylinder with two symmetrical nodules at each end.

minus-squareUriel238 [all pronouns]linkfedilinkarrow-up1·28 days agoThis is a much cooler (and much more 3D) bone than the two nodules at each end flat bone. I get that they flattened it to make it cheaper to stamp, but still. I’m counting at least three peaks at the top.
