Kryten (Red Dwarf): _It’s hideous! That’s it? That’s the best design they can come up with? Are you seriously telling me there were choices and someone said, "Ah, there. That’s it.

As long as we’re going on about anatomy and have moved from the specific to the more general, one thing that’s bugged me about the human body is the fact that you have a single hole for air _and_ food. Seriously? Your car’s gas tank cover is nowhere near the air filter intake and the car was designed by humans and the body supposedly by God. Well, I bet Mamma Cass had a few things to say to him! And it’s not like we don’t have nostrils. Just tie them in lower. Then if you got something caught in your throat you could just breath in through your nose, hold your nostrils and cough up that piece of hot dog or whatever. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > Apparently, newborns can breathe and swallow at the same time. It’s later that the tubes shift and we lose the ability. I am not so sure that is correct, they can aspirate easily. Im no pediatrician but it sounds wrong. There is only 1 tube at the mouth part down to a certain point, so nothing to shift, you breath out your mouth and nose through the same piece of piping you swallow food with. Hence the need for a valve at the lower end to switch between pizza and oxygen intakes ---

[This NIH document](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3398629/) describes an infant’s “Suck-Swallow-Breathe” coördination. It says that they can suck and breathe at the same time, but the actual swallowing takes place separately. There appears to be no special configuration of an infant’s throat that supports simultaneous breathing+swallowing. Hopefully this counts as misinformation fought. ---

I know a few women who would sort of agree with the OP. They’re in lesbian relationships now. I don’t think they’re the overwhelming majority. Considering the attitudes toward penis-in-vagina sex women I have known have had, I think OP is making a _very_ misleading generalization. ---

Am the pediatrician so I’ll add my two cents. Exactly right that babies can suck and breathe at the same time but not swallow and breathe at the same time. They also have great difficulty breathing through the mouth and completely blocked nasal passages are a real significant problem (obligate or preferential nasal breathing). Comparatively babies’ tongues take up more of the available space and the flap that switches back and forth blocking the airway during swallowing (the epiglottis) is positioned closer to the back of the roof of the mouth (much lower as we age, even by several months old). And now back to “recipes for troll loin” … ---

> [@DSeid](#): > > Am the pediatrician so I’ll add my two cents. > > Exactly right that babies can suck and breathe at the same time Shouldn’t all humans do that baby or adult? or am i an oddball? Can’t swallow it with out drowning, but i can suck up a mouth full of soda while breathing humming. Do you have any good barbeque troll loin recipes? Perhaps more of a dry barbeque? ---

> [@Weisshund](#): > > Shouldn’t all humans do that baby or adult? or am i an oddball? … Yes I think you are relatively uncommon if you really can breathe while actively sucking a straw. The problem with troll recipes is coming up with some way to neutralize the bitter aftertaste. I tried a TrollHouse cookies recipe once, figuring all the sugar would help, but it ended up with too many nuts for my taste. ---

I have my water bottle with straw sitting next to me and I was able to breathe while I was drinking for multiple breaths. That’s so awesome. I’m _uncommon_! 😃 ---
