Evolutionary leftovers


Vestigial organs are leftovers from a previous era and represent functions that were once necessary for survival. Over time, those functions become nonexistent and the organs atrophy.

Which is why, at some point, every city should go under the knife and have its crosswalk buttons and elevator ashtrays cut out.
