       @unusualbot @alexbuzzbee The "why don't animals shoot projectiles?" one is also good:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_use_by_non-human_organismsIt's such a low-risk/high-reward strategy, I don't understand why it's not much more common.

       @mdhughes @unusualbot Aiming a projectile accurately is actually quite hard. That ability probably played a role in why the human brain evolved to be so capable.

       @alexbuzzbee @unusualbot Some dumb animals can do it, so you don't need full artillery-arc aiming like primates have. If it's held in the mouth or otherwise centered, having both eyes resolve the target straight ahead could enable shooting at close range.

       @mdhughes @unusualbot Close range, sure. Makes it less useful, though.

       @mdhughes @unusualbot @alexbuzzbee Not many living creatures can remember how to breath. Just like @alexbuzzbee said. Its a pain in the ass to aim accurately and not die out of starvation because your not the best sniper in town. But I see your point. They are evolving and adapting to there surroundings its just so damn slow to us that we just don't notice them. :blobfoxthinksmirk:

       @0PT41N @mdhughes @unusualbot I'm pretty sure that anything that 1) needs to breathe to live and 2) is alive is able to remember to breathe.
