So that's what bone hurting juice is. It's hurting juice that comes from your bones.

Oof ouch my bones [are hurting me]!
Well, we now know it's actually bone panic juice. They were close with the naming, but not all the way there.
Panic can cause physical pain. We're right back to bone hurting juice.
So, lemme get this straight: first they ache like bastards, and now they also induce anxiety. I say we boycott bones.
It turns out jellyfish have been the ideal species the whole time.
No brains to worry with, no bones to hurt or cause anxiety.
Crabs know what’s up too, that’s why they wear their skeleton as an armor. Can’t hurt you if it’s outside.
I wanna be a shark. Only bones are the teeth and THEY ARE REPLACEABLE
Why don’t we get replaceable teeth?
We do though? Just once.
We have the free trial of replaceable teeth. The first replacement is free, after that it gets expensive.
Plus, functional immortality outside of being eaten. And who the heck wants to eat jellyfish. Seems like a sweet gig.
Turtles eat jellyfish. And so do the Chinese. That immorality be tasty.
Plus they cleverly evolved ahead of time to be camouflaged against all our plastic pollution, so their few predators keep choking on plastic bags instesd
Immortality
Jellyfish hate consent.
Take 'em out and throw 'em away. What use could they possibly be?
Yes! Abolish skeletons! Let’s become Jellyfish.
Wait, what? So, is this part of lifting weights?
Our skeleton is much more than a rigid scaffold for the body, says geneticist Gérard Karsenty of Columbia University. Our bones secrete a protein called osteocalcin, discovered in the 1970s, that rebuilds the skeleton. In 2007, Karsenty and colleagues discovered that this protein acts as a hormone to keep blood sugar levels in check and burn fat. Later, his group showed that the hormone is important for maintaining brain function and physical fitness, restoring memory in aged mice and boosting performance during exercise in old mice and people. The findings led Karsenty to hypothesize that animals evolved bony skeletons to escape danger.

Yes, this is entry level anatomy and physiology knowledge these days.
Daily exercise is important.
The hormone that your bone-making cells secrete to say "bone foundation is laid, bring the concrete" was hijacked by the brain through evolution god knows how many years ago to simulate the "we need to fucking go" thought and you call that entry level??
Yes, that's how half of your body works lol, just a jury rigged abomination of "good enough" and repurposed functions
And just like boots were made for walking, our body is built to function within normal parameters when it is physically fit.
Very, very important.
Guaranteed its faster to run than to seep
Imagine bony slugs running around.
Skeletanic Panic!
Also: The phrase "I feel it in my bones" makes a lotta sense now.
Delightful,
Yeah it makes sense if you get close to having your bones crack,
they're going to be unhappy with you and make you
a bit more panaroid of getting hits in the bones !
Sucks for people who can't do anything about it !
Goddamnit. Now I got that tune stuck in my head. Thanks, Obama!
