Favorite bone

#1

Mine’s the jawbone. The jaw has a loose degree of freedom but is also anchored at both ends giving it a lot of sturdiness.

It’s also representative of what I’ll term a meso-skeletal structure… We do not have exoskeletons, but the ribs and skull don’t function as rods hugged by meat. The ribs and skull serve as protective shells (the way an exoskeleton does), coated for the mostpart with a basic regenerative layer of skin. As they are neither exoskeleton nor stricly endoskeleton, I say mesoskeleton.

The jaw serves as a mesoskeletal joint and is the closest thing we have to a lobster’s hinges. And I have seen someone online describe the anatomy of xenomorphs as mesoskeletal, so we know it’s the kind of thing that a tough higher-species is made of.

Edit: Oh shit, this page didn’t used to come up on Google results for the term, but now I know that it exists for-realsies: https://thebigdictionary.com/mesoskeleton/

the fingers, I like their complexity and how they work

#3

massive mandible, mighty man, massive masseters if you can

#4

Not the nose?

#5

:lol:

Mine is skull, if I am dead one of these day. I wouldn’t mind someone keep my skull as their collection.

#6

I want to own a 3D printout of my own skull at least 4 decades prior to my death. I want quickly accessible, unobscured-by-skin proof of my asiatic mutations

#7

The scapula. It looks badass and has a rather unusual structure.

#8

nice try…but no

#9

bone r

#10

Fixed.

On topic, my favorite bone is the femur. First bone I learned about.

#11

I actually dislike the jawbone. The maxilla has, like, cooler curves.
But I like bones in general! I have a new favourite every week!

Right now my favy is the zygomatic bone! I like its arches very much. Its function in nesting the eyes and supporting the facial muscles like the zygomaticus major/minor and shielding the masseter is also very attractive! Oh and it has a cute name. It just rolls off the tongue!

I also have a special place in my heart for the ethmoid bone. A special place in my head too! Hehe, get it, cause the ethmoid actually doesn’t act in facial structure? It’s just inside your skull - for some reason - being all snuggly-wuggly! And cute lookin-


OH MOTHER OF CHRIST
WHY IS THAT THING INSIDE MY HEAD
OH GOD OH
AAAAGH

I like all the bones in the torso. They all look awesome when together, but boring when apart.

#13

I dislike bones, bones are for chumps this is why Jellyfish are the master race.

#14

I love all my bones equally because they’re all useful.

#15

I heard once that the most commonly broken bone is the collarbone. Poor collarbones, they put up with a lot of abuse and barely get any recognition.

Oh my god, you’ve thought about that too!?

I was wondering on-and-off the past year why there didn’t exist a company which sells customers models of their skulls.

Interesting choice… and a strong choice!

you mean baculum
(for some reason Google autocompletes the word with “baculum for sale” …)

You’re the kid in class whose favorite color is Blue, whose favorite dino is T-Rex, and whose favorite bird is Bald Eagle.

Jellyfish are far-inferior to cuttlefish. The reason? Cuttlefish have this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlebone

I’m sure you could spare a few, and you’ve gotta like some more than others.

#16

I like the brain bone.

#17

You want a copy of Ramirezoid’s skull?

That’s a little creepy.

#18

My favorite is the clavicle, because I have a special bond with it.

#19

my skull is fucking beautiful, whoever doesn’t want a copy is probably down on their luck

#20

I met a guy who used to paint the skulls of celebrities and ‘normal’ people. I’m not entirely sure how he did it or what it looked like, but he made a fair amount of cash from it. He sold ten paintings for £20,000.

Bastard.
