No seriously, evolution fucked up it's cable management. iirc, there's a nerve (essentially the biological equivalent of a data cable) that has an extreme detour, going from the upper neck, looping under the aorta (more or less the largest blood vessel), and then back up all the way to the throat. In giraffes, it's 4+ meters going down the neck and then back up. That is horrible cable management and can actually cause health risks/complications for certain surgeries
52The nerve is called recurrent laryngeal nerve if anyone wants to read up on it
21Well, to be fair to evolution, surgeries weren't really on its list of considerations. With no surgeries to the neck/chest it won't be a problem at all. Most of us, including giraffes, have no problem with it and it works flawlessly. Is it a detour? Yes. But it works, and that's the only thing that matters in evolution.
14At least we don't have it quite as bad as octopuses, who have a have a risk of dying after eating too much because their brain wraps around their stomach.
11Just re-run it

You know if you take all the cables out of your body and put them zip ties, you will die.
36Now you know

Well, that's what happens when you're not careful enough. You can't just go yanking cables! They need to be finessed. To be bought dinner, first.
9Instructions unclear: After finessing these zipties, hands now bound under legs.

Call me when the IT guys can build boobles
32Wrong department. Ask the chemistry guys for some estradiol, they can hook you up.
12You know lemmy is getting big when you go to the comment section and the top comment is what you wanted to post 😂

The boobs are nice though 👍.
11I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful cable management photo as the one on the right. Can't belive I'm having romantic feelings about cable management.
10don't feel bad, that picture really is satisfying to look at

IT guys
posts SDI bank from a studio or broadcast truck
9SDI always looks cleaner than twisted pair.

Not even AI is as fake as the image on the right
8That’s a real SDI video router using HD-BNC connectors. I worked on rack units with 512 in and outs, this one looks like 256.
5Having worked on them occasionally was about to confirm that, but somebody gave it more JPEG already and I can’t quite make it out. They do certain look like BNC/some other coaxial connector though and I’ve definitely have to troubleshoot very similar nightmarish setups

That's balance. Now the right half is just as fake as the proposed origin on the left.
3Thought it was a cisco nexus 9000 but nah that looks like AI 😅 those cables don't look right to me

Evolution or IT Guys
Fixed it for ya.
7As an IT guy, my wiring looks much more like the left than the right...
6Thinking about my veins and nerves as cables feels wrong somehow
6The vagus nerve, gods ultimate cabling f*ck up....
6This is what I was going to say! Have you seen the video of it on a giraffe
4Link for the lazy: https://youtu.be/cO1a1Ek-HD0

If I were god I would put out all the nerves and blood vessels outside no more stroke if your dead.
3As a stagehand/TVA I also find this quite amusing.
3Guys. Anyone know how to slice my cables? I've got a leak hap
3Make a shit code, do a quick sprint, push to a master. Evolution need a huge amount of time.
