    eh, if aliens ever produce lab-grown humans, i think there’s a 99.9% chance they’ll have belly buttons too, guessing that they’re growing them in artificial wombs where the baby makes an umbilical cord.

    i mean why would you do it any other way? maybe an infusion directly into the arm or sth …

      right? the umbilical system is frankly so useful and well designed that it’s one of the few things you can’t use as evidence against god creating us. It actually looks like some thought was put into the design.
