Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
After the dark energon debacle ratchet decides to study what exactly are things that can kill humans, so as to make sure that doesn't happen. He discovers the answer is pretty much everything, including the very oxygen we need to breathe and stuff. I envision quite the rant!
jkasdklas oh man Ratchet doing actual indepth research on the human body would cause him to start openly day drinking ok.
not just bc of how we discovered some of this shit we know, but also the fact that our bodies are a hot heaping mess of fucked up evolution and adaptations.
our anxiety was meant for when life was lived super fast and we had to always be on the look out for A Hungry Animal. some of us have a different sleep rhythm that means we don't sleep when we're supposed to at night bc their ancestors were the Night Watch.
everything can kill us and most of us still actively partake in the thing that is harming us.
lactose intolerant people me still eat ice cream. caffeine. peanuts.
some people do extreme sports where if one things goes wrong your dead.
other people SWIM WITH DEADLY SEA CREATURES. FOR FUN.
there's organs inside us that can actively harm us, we can lose up to like, 60% of our liver and it will grow back.
Ratchet studies what can kill us, which is practically everything on the planet, and has to be held back from actively wrapping the kids in bubble wrap and keeping them in a nice padded pen so he can keep an eye on them.
then he learns the things that humans can survive and he wants to cry.
these tiny, frail, brightly lived creatures can take so much in their lives, and come out the other side damaged and lost, but alive.
we have one of the best self repair systems on the planet for healing injuries (when it works properly).
so yeah. Ratchet freaks out when he learns the full scope of just how dangerous our lives are on the daily.
but then he's in awe of what we do in spite of that.
