Also what is the point of having legs at all at this point, just fully ascend to wormhood.

@coolbean @snacks Well, vertebrates have one brain in the head doing everything, arthropods tend to have a bunch of nervous ganglions across the body.

@coolbean @chjara does your spine have a bunch of brains almost the size of the one in your head?

@snacks @chjara its literally part of your central nervous system. its as tightly integrated as your eyes just more spread out

that would be widely distributed brainlets, not nervous system, silly
