Evolution is an incredible engineer, and the human body is one of its finest creations. Full of inexplicable marvels, one can't help but be in awe that we exist at all.
Except, evolution is also blind and slow. As great as we are, we have plenty of features that are still pretty messed up.

1. Wisdom Teeth

2. The Funny Bone
Let’s just put one specific nerve in a very bumpable spot! Somehow our body knew not to do that for the rest of them, but the funny “bone” persists. -
3. Brain Freeze
Brain freeze occurs when too much cold triggers pain sensors on the top of your mouth. Although unpleasant, your body does this to increase blood flow and warm the area. -
4. Insomnia
Sometimes, the more tired we are, the harder it is to sleep. Increased heart rate and blood pressure can come from a lack of sleep, while also making it harder to fall asleep. -
5. Phantom Limb Pain
Amputees often feel pain in their missing limbs due to phantom limb pain. The brain is unfortunately unable to reconcile the missing limb, and can misinterpret signals from damaged limbs at the amputation site. -
6. Goosebumps
Utterly useless to us, goosebumps are a way of making our hairs stand on end, and appear bigger to predators. Yeah, we really need that. -
7. Throwing Up
While throwing up is helpful to get bad things out of your stomach, it’s very unhelpful in the case of heat stroke. -
8. Autoimmune Issues
Autoimmune issues are when your body’s immune system incorrectly identifies itself, and attacks the body. Exact causes are unknown, but genetics, illnesses and contaminators can all play a role in this devastating disorder. -
9. Inflammation
While inflammation is useful in helping our awareness of the healing process, it can also block systems and make the process take longer. -
10. There’s a Dump Next to the Amusement Park
If you know, you know.
