    Most of the human ear seems useless and arbitrarily shaped. Like wtf is an earlobe for? Why that fleshy knob or the outer ridges? Why all the flappy bits?

    You can look at a dick or a hand and basically get what every feature of it is for, but ears make no goddamned sense.

    • Don't knock the earlobe. There's a bunch of nerve endings there and it's a minor erogenous zone for some. All of the lobeless fuckers from yesteryear..garbage
