I wish we shed our skins like snakes instead of small flakes all the time (sopuli.xyz)

Granted. We now shed our skins like snakes (instead of small flakes) all the time. As in, we are constantly peeling off a full layer of skin. Humans become fatigued as their bodies attempt to keep up with the constant loss of skin, and there is now more dead skin lying around than ever before.

Plot twist: As humans, we learn and recognize the causes of fatigue, and start eating our own shed skins for nutrients.

As a reminder, we are shedding all the time, so we shed while we eat our own skin. We get stuck in a never ending loop of shedding and eating skin.
