The five senses!

Sight, sound, smell, taste, touch.
Oh, and heat.

Our SIX senses are
Sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and heat. And balance. Amongst our senses are such diverse … I come again.

Our sixSEVEN senses are sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, heat, balance, pain, kinaesthesia, proprioception, hunger, thirst, suffocation, … humor, common, Spidey …

There's a reason we limit it to five, Because depending on how you define a "sense" we have hundreds. So we limit it to the five most prominent ones.

 

[Pyras]

Yeah, there are shit tons of senses beyond just the basic 5.

And some of em overlap, probably. Like, I dunno if Sense of Gravity and Sense of Orientation is one and the same, or separated ones.

That's not a reason, that's you having your chain of reasoning upside down

It's just that there are so many and a lot of it depends on how you Define a sense for example do we count electromagnetism sensitivity because our liver can sense it slightly? So instead of having that extremely complicated mess we decided to simplify it and simply keep it to the five most prominent ones that have the most effect on our day-to-day lives.

 

[baconcat]

we decided

One way to spell "pulled out of our asses and went on to mindlessly, blinkeredly parrot it forever despite advances everything around us" I guess.

Day-to-day lives, huh? So, why not gravity then? Do you not walk in your day-to-day life? Do you not pick things and feel which way your muscles are being pulled? Come on, one more sense won't hurt. Or are you so medievally, superstitiously clung to the number five and deathly afraid of six that you have this irrational fear of expanding some anachronistic list of words?

Raah, we've always gone done it like that, so that's how we'll always do it

Okay, gramps, if you say so …

Gravity is not a sense you moron. How about you take some biology classes and actually learn why we focus on those five senses. It might be because they're the ones that have the most impact in our day today lives.

 

[baconcat]

I keep throwing incoherent ramblings out of my ass because that's where all my knowledge sits

Could your arguments possibly be any more self-contradictory, not to mention circular? The most impact on your day-to-day life would be the sense of suffocation, without which you would literally die from forgetting to breathe within ten minutes, tops. No seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, or touching within that span would improve your chances of survival over the sense of elevated blood carbon dioxide concentration. And, imagine that, it's not listed in those five you keep trumpeting as some sort of untouchable dogma.

Literally nothing in those biology classes you're so eager to recommend would actually teach you why the listed five are the five that are listed, and only those. That's like saying physics would teach you there be only seven colors because those are the ones in a rainbow. (Which originally weren't even meant to be seven, only five, but Sir Isaac Newton himself insisted there be more for completely arbitrary and scientifically unsubstantiated reasons. For something with a continuous spectrum no less. Go figure.)

Try stopping to talk with the wrong end of your GI tract. Might make you calling me a moron less of a joke.

 

[GreenDude1]

I'm a big fucking moron that is incapable of comprehending something as simple as simplification.
It's also impossible for me to actually argue anything without putting words in my opponent's mouth because that's how fucking stupid I am.

All you've done so far is put words in my mouth without actually making a good argument you moron. And unlike you I actually happen to know a lot of big words that would fit perfectly in your big mouth all the whether or not your tiny brain would actually be able to understand them is a situation.
