    Just fine is pushing it, we are capable but not particularly good.
    We need specific plant parts grown on purpose to be consumable (fruit, nuts, …), or we need cooking.
    There is a good number of plant stuff like grass, certain bark, and most parts of medium sized plants which a lot of animals can consume but we cannot.
    If you go out and eat random plants you will die you won’t be able to digest almost any of that.

    I would argue there are loosely two levels of plant digestion ability above ours.
    The first being what most mamals have, which allows to consume leafs and most small and medium plants minus the thicker stalks. My example would be deer.
    Then there are ruminants who can digest grass more efficiently and tend to deal with stalks better, main difference being more things being worth digesting vs. just being digestible. Classic example is cows.

    My guess for the injury rates is you expect drywall, thus your body allows you the speed and force you can take on drywall, but then you hit something harder like a metal strut.
    If you already expected something of similar hardness you could never use that much force.


  • In Europe you learn to respect walls at a very young age.
    You don’t deliberately kick a table leg with your toes either, you just know with certainty it will only give you pain.

    Drywalls have some cushioning to them, they first compress then flex.
    Brick is completely solid, it hurts even at very low speeds when hit with bone. Just knocking on it is painful.

    Go outside, pick a nice flat pavement stone, put two sheets of paper over it. Now use your knuckles and knock around on it for a bit, then see what your instincts tell you when you think about punching that.
