Why not none? Bones are a terrible affliction.

I also vote for outside bone instead of inside bone.

If he had just one bone then we wouldn't rattle when we walk.

Reject articulation; become dog biscuit

The human body evolved for resilience: having a large number of bones provides redundancy, meaning that we can break many bones and still have at least one to spare.

It's also partially a vestigial trait, as our ancestors needed to do a lot of boning in order for the species to survive - nowadays we don't need to replenish our numbers as much.

Oh, humans can have basically one bone.

They are horrible and agonizing conditions, perhaps similar to being slowly partially or totally mummified by your own body.

Ankylosing Spondylitis, Pfeiffer Syndrome, Klippel-Feil Syndrome, etc.

Imagine your bones all fusing together. You can't bend, or maybe walk, move your jaw, or maybe even breathe.

People would be intentionally breaking bones, for "super-human" flexiblity.

If we had just one, it would be very hard to move.

Humans are the only ape not to have a penis bone.

i feel cheated somehow.

Well that would just be a gingerbread man.

We'd be doing the T-pose but unironically

Yeah, we say bone not bany, what gives...

It would be a lot more painful when drinking BoneHurtingJuice

For one thing you couldn’t hear sounds or noises all that good withou free-floating inner ear bones

I once met a person with Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Her bones were fusing together and over time she became more and more immobile. She's probably dead now. I hope that answers your questions.

Smooth, efficient, and most of all, calm

Dog treat kinda bone

MONOBONE

Sometimes I have 207 bones, wink wink

I have one big bone right now. Hey, baby

Where would all the soft parts go?

I have but one bone to give!

Why do I keep seeing the stuff I see in Instagram in lemmy?

Ok I do get why we aren't just one big bone, but why don't our palms and feet fuse?

Having a bone is perfectly normal for around half of humans.

For a human having two bones is not normal. Also for 3 bones, 4 bones and so on. Curiously having a few bones is normal for some animals, such as dogs.

Then it's normal again for humans to have around 206 bones.

This is one of life's great paradoxes.

Flexibility. If everything was a thick, rigid bone we would be far less agile.

Energy. I imagine maintaining bone density for thicker bones would require more food to be consumed.

Medical. Breaking bigger bones would be more traumatic and debilitating than breaking smaller bones.

Off we’re only had one bone then dogs would need to be way bigger and probably wouldn’t be our friends.

I went out skiing and broke my... Armbonehiplegneckskull thing

I'm just one big boned

Mm yummy bone cracker. Mmmmm

To make archeology more interesting.

"one bone" still has teeth
