Thread Humorously Shows 4 Things That Evolved To Be Non-Edible But Are Still Eaten By Humans
Humans are strange animals there is no doubt about it. While we put other living things in zoos to marvel at their odd behaviors or botanical gardens to observe their unique beauty – our species might fail to realize we are, in fact, the weird ones. From our big brains to our opposable thumbs there are a variety of reasons humans stand out from the rest.
Not only are we as individuals strange, but the way that we interact with the world around us. Someone on Tumblr posted a meme which evolved into a thread which highlights just how bizarre our abilities and limitations are. Imagine trying to explain some of these behaviors to an alien. Scroll down below and add your own hilarious human observations in the comments!

"Consumption of hot red chili peppers is associated with a 13 percent reduction in total mortality, a large prospective study has found." "New research show coffee improves overall health and longevity whilst fighting obesity." Some things we like are good for us!
I always find it amusing that we think that aliens would be interested in our planet. I think they would take one look at the f*ing mess we've made of it and say, "I'll pass, thanks".
They don’t wanna even know what goes on between me and my veggies then
The best thing an animal or plant can do for its own survival is make its produce an important product for humankind.
... and cats have figured out a way to not even have to do that.
Load More Replies...The juice of poppies doesn't need much preocessing at all - painkillers in the form of one-substance extracted from poppies (isolated natural morphine) are just a bit over 200 years old, while using whole opium as medicine contniued until the early 20th century, and was done for thousands of years ... you won't sleep forever by a reasonable dose of opium, you know, just like a day or so... And as long as skilled people are around and can teach the other ones what to eat and how much to gain specific feelings, it's likely most of the time somewhat safely used...
