The human body is an incredible machine. But it's far from perfect. For all our evolutionary brilliance, we're still stuck with joints that wear out, dandruff, and sinuses that seem designed for misery. And that's just the beginning!
In various places on the internet, people have been sharing the body's most frustrating design flaws, so we decided to compile their "reviews" of the not-so-user-friendly features. And who knows—if we're lucky, maybe we'll receive a patch upgrade. Something bionic would be nice.

#1
That we can bite the insides of our own cheeks. I'm sure plently of you know the pain of accidentally biting down on your cheek.

#2
Periods. Most other animals who have a menstruation cycle, or something like it, reabsorb the uterine lining rather than shedding it out and causing woman to suffer from painful bleeding out of their vaginas for 5-6 days once a month.
Edit: I think that if we have to shed it, it should be a voluntary sphincter (like controlling when you pee). So woman don’t have to spend so much money on pads & tampons, don’t have to worry about bleeding through, can stress free wear a bikini, etc.
#3
That thing our brains do where we walk into a room only to instantly forget why we went in there in the first place.
#5
You can kinda just die at any moment from a brain aneurysm, even if you're perfectly healthy.
#7
The fact the brain can not regenerate more cells, but practically everything else can. Even though the brain is the most important.
#8
Wisdom teeth. They were useful when we used to have bigger jaws, but now they often cause pain and infection.
#9
Surprised nobody's said the appendix yet.
#11
Cancer. Routine processes meant to repair the body create mistakes that in turn create tumors.
#12
Unable to regenerate body parts. You lose an arm or a leg, you can't grow a new one. We can grow hair and nails forever, but not body parts.
#15
Digestive system, regenerative system, immune system. isn't it funny how human body can be fully created in 9 month but a broken ankle will take several years and never fully recover?
#16
Whatever design flaw has made me addicted to oxytocin (the neurotransmitter not a misspelling of the opiate).
#18
That something as important as the brain can stop functioning properly because of chemical imbalances.
#19
The brain should be better secured in the head. Rattling the brain inside the skull can mess a person up, so if it was more secure it would be safer.
