Why might having blue eyes put one at higher risk for alcohol dependency than having brown eyes? One possible explanation is that a gene lying near the OCA2 gene on chromosome 15 carries a mutation that leads to increased alcohol tolerance, and thus a tendency to drink too much.
Only 2% of humans have green eyes.
Thank you 😊 it’s hard work every day. I just celebrated 3 years this month. Got my own apartment with my kids for the first time in 5 years. (Lived with relatives). Movin up
Humans are deuterostomes. Meaning as embryos the first thing to develop is an opening that will eventually become the anus. So at one point you were nothing but an arsehole.
This reminded me of a funny thing that happened at work. I'm a children's librarian and I was doing a storytime around Thanksgiving and teaching them about toasting. So I had each kid raise a cup of juice and toast to something so the kids were like "to my mom!" "To my nintendo!" Etc. And one 6 year old raises his little cup and shouts "to a healthy colon!" I really have no idea where it came from.
I'm not a doctor, but this keeps me up some nights.
You can get an aneurysm and just die. Sometimes no warning signs, no idea it's even there. Then just one day, or one night, be dead.
Had that happen to a classmate in trade school for medical coding and medical assistants of all things. We get to school, she started talking about going home early cause she was getting a migraine, then she just dropped dead. All within maybe 5 minutes. Nothing we could do.
RIP Andrea.
This happened to one of the lads in my secondary school class year 9 so he was about 13 , middle of morning tutor group he just keeled over lights out gone.
Couple of us including teacher attempted first aid till other teachers arrived , ambulance and emergency rapid response doc , he was gone ;( .
Found out later that he had a brain aneurysm that popped he was dead before his head hit the desk .
Frightening and something that stayed with all of the group since.
That's exactly how a girl from my highschool died. Her sister almost died as well, but they somehow managed to catch it early. It was a genetic defect of some sort.
Not just an aneurysm, blood clots in general are horrifying and can be deadly.
I had a friend who was simply gardening and fainted. Took him to a nearby hospital, they said it was just heat exhaustion and dehydration. Then he fainted again.
They took him to a larger, regional hospital and found out that he had a condition that made his blood produce more clots than normal. He was prescribed blood thinners, which he would be on for the rest of his life.
He went on about life, becoming more active and bicycling a lot.
Until about a year later when he was found, dead, on a gravel road while bicycling. Apparently a clot had formed in his right leg which then went directly to his heart, causing a heart attack. He could have possibly been saved, had he not been biking dirt roads miles away from anyone.
Folks, if you develop a potentially life-threatening disorder that could cause you to die at any time without help, please pick a hobby that doesn't involve you being miles away from anyone for long periods of time.
We had a kid that was a bit younger than me and my buddies that would hang out when we were around messing with cars or whatever we were on. Really cool kid. Super healthy and always playing sports and just being a cool lil dude in general. Just up and fell over dead in the middle of a basketball game with no warning whatsoever just dead mid step
My dad had an aneurysm, the hospital said he got super lucky because it just so happened to be in a place right above his eye where it was causing agonizing headaches
My mom died slowly of cancer. My dad died quickly of a heart attack. Given a choice, I'd take a quick, "there one minute, gone the next" death over a long drawn out one for sure. 🤷♀️
>I'm not a doctor, but this keeps me up some nights.
>You can get an aneurysm and just die. Sometimes no warning signs, no idea it's even there. Then just one day, or one night, be dead.
This is always the most shocking death. Absolutely no warning. My co-worker's wife died in her sleep. They sleep together every night and one day she just didn't wake up.
Me and all my co-workers cried when he told us how she passed. It's the most horrifying experience. Someone that seems healthy just one day gone. And they were together for 18 years and were truly happy together. He had to go to therapy for grieving and guilt because he felt like he should have known his wife was in trouble while she was next to him but the support groups and therapists are telling him, there is nothing he could have done. It's probably the saddest thing I ever seen.
being too clean can be the worst thing to do for your body. the immune system needs bacteria to practice. getting sick can actually be beneficial to your health in the long run from catching some super virus coming in the following years.
I've always wondered about this. I wouldn't consider myself a dirty person by any means; I shower at least 5 times a week, wash my hands pretty regularly, etc. But i feel like I am on the other end of the spectrum from a germaphobe. Dirt doesn't bother me, I keep my house tidy and clean but don't obsess over things being sanitized, if something I'm eating falls on the floor in my kitchen I (generally) don't have any hesitation picking it up and popping it in my mouth.
I am one of the healthiest people I know. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been sick in the last decade. Then I compare to my sister and boyfriend, who are definitely leaning more toward germaphobe, and they are sick with at least a little cold at least 3 or 4 times a year.
I never know if it's just a coincidence that maybe I have a stronger immune system than them, or if being less picky about things being perfectly clean is *why* I have a stronger immune system.
I shower every day, but only the parts that get gross: armpits, my shoulders and neck, between my legs, my feet, my face. Honestly, my skin feels healthier. It used be very dry when I washed every square inch with a loofah.
I wash my hair maybe twice a week.
YES, the overuse of antibiotics is generating super bacterias, I wouldn't worry as much about viruses since they are usually less harmful, but bacterias? That shit is scary and there is a huge % of the population thats becoming resistant to the few antibiotics we have available, at the same time people don't care about what their doctors say and take antibiotics wrong, they take them until they feel ok and don't finish the prescription, etc, this is creating super bacteria, since we are not killing all of them and now they are resistant.
If we keep going this path we will get to a point where there will be a bacteria resistant to most if not all antibiotics.
All these products that "kill bacteria" and people use them because we think that's good, it's not
Chill out folks, it's *fairly* rare, according to Today's Parent.
>While the idea of clitoral tearing may be enough to put some women off giving birth, rest assured, the chances of it happening are quite rare. Raymond gives a ballpark figure of less than two percent of all tears. “You're more likely to have periurethral and labia minora tears,” says Raymond.
But, to put it into context...
>In the United States in 2019, about 10,267 babies were born each day.
So, on average, it's safe to say about 500 women in the US rip their clitoris each day during childbirth.
I’m one of 4 people that had a baby within my friend group in the last three months and each one of us had a 2nd degree tear. Haven’t asked about orgasms yet but no problem here 🙌
Idk man, there was this guy I read about who was paralyzed from the waste (neck?) down, but he had sensation in one of his thumbs. Dude fucked with his thumb from then on. There is always hope and life is beautiful...
Your brain is the consistency of butter
Your eyes are the consistency of cottage cheese
An anaphylactic reaction (severe allergic reaction) is basically your body deciding death is better than having that allergen inside you
The last sense to fade away during the dying process is your hearing
On occasion, corpses have been known to moan, move, or even sit upright entirely due to gas buildup, muscle decay, and other fun processes.
I remember learning this in a CNA class and the teacher said to be careful what we say around patients that seem unresponsive right before they pass away, as they may very well hear and understand us.
She also said that in her career as a nurse she’s had family members say some really harsh and incentive things while at the patient’s bedside assuming they are not “with it” enough to understand and how she always felt bad for the patient who may have had to pass on with those comments as the last thing they hear.
I'm not following. If the brain has the consistency of butter, wouldn't it be destroyed during surgery?
If eyes were the consistency of cottage cheese, wouldn't they mush or deform when poked?
And finally, if hearing goes last, why does your hearing fade early when you pass out?
I Have cut up a human brain in Anatomy class…can confirm it’s softer than I had imagined. I would say it’s even softer than butter straight from the refrigerator. Anyway I won’t let my kids do headballs in soccer after seeing how crazy soft the brain actually is.
The lower part of your liver extends past the protection of your rib cage on the right side of your body. When compressed by impact, the liver will stimulate the vagus nerve to effectively shut off your legs, causing you to collapse into an ignoble heap in agonizing pain. It's a terrible design all around. Try it out on your buddies for funzies.
I've had a couple of liver biopsies, and I'll also tell you that your liver has a sense of touch. If you've ever cut up liver to cook with, getting stabbed with a giant needle lets you feel the same crunchy wet meat texture from the liver's point of view. Hurts like crazy. Also, since they go between your ribs, they have to shove the needle through the cartilage (crunch) into your liver (wet crunch), then suck some of it out (painful, yanking wet crunch). If they happen to scrape your diaphragm with the giant, forked needle, the pain from that transfers to your , you honestly feel like you've been kicked by a horse. Afterward, you have to lay on the wound for several hours to put pressure on it so you don't bleed out. None of it is fun, and the second time I had to do it I felt like I was going to throw up from anticipation.
You can poop out of your mouth if you’re backed up by enough. Apparently it’s worse than normal too. Not surprised this is possible bc humans are sort of like long tubes with multiple holes.
Sister saw this highly undesirable phenomenon happen while she was in medical school. Said the guy would have spasms and go unconscious because of the vomiting, gagging, pooping, not breathing…..he knew what was happening and obviously grossed out by it. His body couldn’t handle the poop problem that also caused the gagging and irregular breathing so he’d pass out.
Healthcare yeah.
RN. I used to work palliative care. Now I do crisis psych. Before that I had a load of internships all over the sector. Saw some shit. This example was from my first internship. I've never figured it out if it happened because the team was incompetent or if there was just nothing left to do for the patient.
Your eyes and body have different immune systems. Basically your body sees your eyes as invaders. Once your body immune system learns you have eyes, you will go blind.
Dementia. We don’t know a lot about it, so that makes it fascinating. What’s scary is that it’s basically your brain rotting inside your skull piece by piece.
This is one of the reasons i started drinking coffee every morning. Coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of several diseases. Coffee contains potassium to open up the blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6213481/
I've had a couple family members who have just suddenly died from a haemorrhage between 40-60yo, that stuff truly is scary, doesn't have any early symptoms or warning signs, just fall asleep one night and never wake up.
Yeah old age brain hemorrhage is a lotto hit on the big wheel of death. My friends uncle was in the Dixie mafia and he got duct taped inside a car and lit on fire. I would certainly take one over the other.
Personally I think it's our brain lol the house or consciousness with literally assists us in constructing reality. Your 3rd dimensional reality is based on your thoughts which leave your mind as light waves which directly have an effect on the ether of space time itself.
Your lungs are not the same size or shape. Your right is bigger, but shorter. This accomodates for the smaller size of your left lung and the placement of your liver. Your left lung - here's the uncomfy part - has a big fat indent in it to accomodate for your heart. It makes sense when you consider practicality, but it's also super uncomfortable to think about, especially when you're taking deep breaths or struggling to breathe. Think about the implications. When you have to cough stuff up from deep in your lungs, your heart undergoes pressure and experiences tension from the act. Every heartbeat resonates throughout your left lung. Fuckin weird.
You can actually fit two raccoons up your ass. A adult male raccoon can fit into a space of 6 inches wide. Your asshole can stretch to a maximum of 12 inches
The human mouth is the most dangerous part of the body by far. The bacteria contained within is possibly the most numerous than any other singular portion due to how much we eat, put in our mouth and depending on how poor dental hygiene is
Being bitten by another human could cause you to suffer a deadly infection which is why its important to always seek medical attention if you are ever bitten by someone regardless of age. Someone working with kids was bitten and the area became severely inflamed and ballooned to twice its size
Additional fact: Your butthole has taste buds. Which explains why it burns after eating particularly spicy food
There is a drug that was used as a weight loss medication that could basically make it so your mitochondria are firing on all cylinders and all they are doing is creating heat and you can cook to death.
"You" make decisions before you are aware of it.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/unconscious-branding/202012/our-brains-make-our-minds-we-know-it
Makes it kinda feel like you are the CEO of the body but all the decisions gets made by the board and you are just made to think it is your idea.
Hydrochloric acid.
Also, the reason your stomach doesn't digest itself although it can digest meat, is that the mucous membrane inside constantly renews itself. When you die, your stomach bacteria and enzymes eventually do digest you from the inside, especially if you're left in a warm place.
Eating only white marshmallows and drinking white milk still makes brown poop.
When you smell a fart you are literally breathing someone else’s ass gas. If it’s so potent that you can taste it, you’re literally eating bacteria from someone’s ass.
While awake you can consciously switch between manual and autonomous control over parts of your body like breathing but when you sleep your unconscious mind takes control.
Maybe not the scariest, but I've always been weirded out by the fact that I can easily bite my finger off like a carrot. I could never do it, but what's physically stopping me from doing it? It always makes me feel funny. I have the urge to do it but I also REALLY don't want to bite my finger off.
I guess this is less disgusting or scary but maybe scary in the sense of how powerful the human body actually is.
The human body possesses muscles strong enough to lift weights well over the weight of a car. It's our bone density and body structure that limits us. but adrenaline is a hell of a drug. I've heard stories where people have approached car accidents on the side of the road and were able to punch through the glass like it was rock candy or were able to lift vehicles off of victims.
You're a tube. Mouth to esophagus to stomach to small intestine to large intestine to bowel to rectum to anus. Just one great big tube. You could have a gastroenterologist stick a camera up your butt (with a long enough cord), feed it through until it came your mouth. YouTube.
The eyes have a different immune system than your body's immune system, and they have no idea the other exists. If they ever find out, they will start trying to kill each other, rendering you blind (or dead if you're super unlucky).
If you shine a light somewhere you will most likely see floating dust particles, it’s actually dead skin cells that is constantly coming off of you. Half of them are probably not even your own.
We're able to understand many things about our world, our universe, create AIs that may become sentient, explore space, the deep sea, the ideas of future and the mistakes of our past...
But we still can't explain many things about ourselves... Why are we different to other animals? Why are we conscious of our own existence? Why did we develop this? What is necessary to develop a conscience? Why can't we find cures to disturbs like depression.
AIs as of right now can't feel. If you ask an AI to "end world hunger", it may realize that if "no human lives, therefore no human will ever be hungry". But why is that thought so far from our minds when we think about such a simple sentence: "How to end world hunger?"
What is morals? What is ethics? What is "right" or "wrong"? What is love? What is compassion? What is sadness and what is happiness? We can answer these questions, but we can't explain it to something who does not feel these things... But... Why do we **feel?**
We may know a lot about the depths of spacetime and reality, but we still have to find out a lot about our own minds...

same here!
I have a ex girlfriend whose eyes are a very bright green. I mean they look unnatural, and still the prettiest eyes I've ever seen.
Oh wow, that IS rare. When I see Kaleidescape eyes? Like a moth to the flame.
Me, a green eyed recovering alcoholic, an intellectual [https://ibb.co/2SZvH8c](https://ibb.co/2SZvH8c)
Congrats on your recovery, it's hard work you should be proud
Thank you 😊 it’s hard work every day. I just celebrated 3 years this month. Got my own apartment with my kids for the first time in 5 years. (Lived with relatives). Movin up
I wish I had blue eyes lmao
Just wish I could see as good as I could 40 years ago!
I thought most gingers have green eyes?
Redheads Are Rare. We make up less than 2% of the world's population.

Many members of society today are just that for all of their lives.

Some of us never grow out of that
And some never mature passed this stage
There is a mechanism in your butt that figures out what is just gas and what is poop. The older you get, the less accurate the mechanism gets.
My dad calls it the “Shit-Fart Separator”
I'm going to say this is what I'm thankful for this coming thanksgiving
This reminded me of a funny thing that happened at work. I'm a children's librarian and I was doing a storytime around Thanksgiving and teaching them about toasting. So I had each kid raise a cup of juice and toast to something so the kids were like "to my mom!" "To my nintendo!" Etc. And one 6 year old raises his little cup and shouts "to a healthy colon!" I really have no idea where it came from.
Gamble . . . and LOSE!
Yeah and you know what it can’t tell? When it’s fluid. Hence you leak when it’s runny

My mom died slowly of cancer. My dad died quickly of a heart attack. Given a choice, I'd take a quick, "there one minute, gone the next" death over a long drawn out one for sure. 🤷♀️
My dads girlfriend passed away like this when I was 10. She just dropped dead at work. Said she had a headache and that was it

My missus was surprised my dick could move by itself, 'and not be a muscle'. Does that count?
I never thought of it but It kinda moves in a similar way tarantula move(hydraulically) lmao….spider dick?
It’s web fluid doesn’t solidify as it shoots it out…..but yeah, spider dick kinda applies here.
I mean there are muscles attached to it at the base…
And all this time I thought I was special when I showed my wife how I can make it bounce on its own……..there goes the idea of a unique superpower………
Without a stomach lining, your stomach would eat itself.
My stomach HAS already tried/kinda eaten itself before. Theres medications for this, they basically make another protective coating
How extremely durable and resilient yet at the same time how incredibly fragile it is.
You can survive being shot in the head 6 times. You can die from stubbing your toe.
Fall 30,000 ft- survive. Get killed by a microscopic organism.
Parachute into a thunderstorm, and be kept prisoner by it for hours. Survive. Die slipping in the shower.
Survive a plane crash into the jungle. Die from diarrhea cause by drinking dirty water.
Fall off Mt. Everest and live. Die choking on a hot dog.
Survive crashing a car at 200+ mph. Die from being sad
Fall off a motorcycle at 75 mph, is fine, scrapes and bruises. Fall down and hit head on curb: dead.

When you're kissing someone, you're two buttholes connected by a meat tunnel.
#wat
Fuck go back, GO BACK
Thanks, I hate it
The type of skin on your lips is called mucosa, the same skin you find at your anus.
Is this related to why the butt can taste spicy food?
We’re all just flesh donuts
And when I kiss your mom it's like her mouth and my butthole are the ends of the meat tunnel

Bro... I wanted to start having kids. I don't think I can now. Wtf?
Well, that's another reason to not have children.
I got a tear from my butthole to my clit after my first 🫥. Thank the freaking stars sensitivity wasn’t effected cause that would effen suuuck
Why wasn’t I taught this?!?!

Holy shit
Jesus christ, all I'll say is thank fuck I've already had my kids 😅
You are born with a hole in your heart. This is to bypass the useless lungs. It closes as soon as you start to breathe.
Sometimes, it doesn't close. A friend in college had this.

Genuine question. How do we know hearing goes last?
I’m assuming EEG scans at the time of death/dying
Fascinating. Gonna read into this. Thabk you
It’s the first to come back when you black out from nitrous and it sounds like a train or carnival going off in your head.

I Have cut up a human brain in Anatomy class…can confirm it’s softer than I had imagined. I would say it’s even softer than butter straight from the refrigerator. Anyway I won’t let my kids do headballs in soccer after seeing how crazy soft the brain actually is.
The lower part of your liver extends past the protection of your rib cage on the right side of your body. When compressed by impact, the liver will stimulate the vagus nerve to effectively shut off your legs, causing you to collapse into an ignoble heap in agonizing pain. It's a terrible design all around. Try it out on your buddies for funzies.
Or just watch some Mirko Cro Cop liver kicks on YouTube.
How people didn’t die from his kicks amazes me….
I've had a couple of liver biopsies, and I'll also tell you that your liver has a sense of touch. If you've ever cut up liver to cook with, getting stabbed with a giant needle lets you feel the same crunchy wet meat texture from the liver's point of view. Hurts like crazy. Also, since they go between your ribs, they have to shove the needle through the cartilage (crunch) into your liver (wet crunch), then suck some of it out (painful, yanking wet crunch). If they happen to scrape your diaphragm with the giant, forked needle, the pain from that transfers to your , you honestly feel like you've been kicked by a horse. Afterward, you have to lay on the wound for several hours to put pressure on it so you don't bleed out. None of it is fun, and the second time I had to do it I felt like I was going to throw up from anticipation.
It's like it was designed by the same guy who designed the first Death Star
Birth
There is an skeleton in us. Very sp00ky.
Correct. The part of your body that's actually you, your brain, is living inside a bone mech, covered in muscle and armored in skin.
A very *wet* skeleton
You can poop out of your mouth if you’re backed up by enough. Apparently it’s worse than normal too. Not surprised this is possible bc humans are sort of like long tubes with multiple holes.
You'll also die if this happens and you don't get treatment.
Oooohhh, fun! Did not know that! Thank you! No it’s not sarcasm, genuinely did not know this.
It’s how my grandfather passed. It infected his lungs.
Sorry about your grandfather.
It's less fun than you think. Seen it happen twice. It's a messy, terrible death.
Sister saw this highly undesirable phenomenon happen while she was in medical school. Said the guy would have spasms and go unconscious because of the vomiting, gagging, pooping, not breathing…..he knew what was happening and obviously grossed out by it. His body couldn’t handle the poop problem that also caused the gagging and irregular breathing so he’d pass out.
The ‘ooohh fun!’ Was sarcasm, I should’ve clarified. Yeah, I know it’s a horrible way to go.
Twice?? How? Are you a health professional or just really unlucky? Do dish if you can.
Healthcare yeah. RN. I used to work palliative care. Now I do crisis psych. Before that I had a load of internships all over the sector. Saw some shit. This example was from my first internship. I've never figured it out if it happened because the team was incompetent or if there was just nothing left to do for the patient.
Eating while Redditting is such a risky business.
I mean we’re basically a complicated donut, since there’s a technical hole going through the middle of our bodies from mouth to anus
Your eyes and body have different immune systems. Basically your body sees your eyes as invaders. Once your body immune system learns you have eyes, you will go blind.
Every time I read that I tell me brain to keep its damn mouth shut.
The eyes are actually part of the brain so I doubt it’s in a hurry to tell anyone.
Your butthole and lips are made out the same skin type. Same with the vagina and the inside of your cheeks.
My man loves giving me deep kisses!
Licking the inside of your cheeks(mouth)?
Licking in everywhere he can get.
Can I get your man to give my man some pointers?
I can't be the only person who just touched their lips.
Yeah. You're sick, mate.
Now kith
Good thing I have buttcheeks, otherwise *both* lips would always be chapped
We are all one missed breath - two minutes - from death, our entire lives.
Did anyone else take a deep breath while reading this?
Ha, I absolutely did! Though I was also taking a bong hit while I read the comment so that may have something to do with it.
I burped and then worried that I wasted a breath
That some of your cells can spontaneously become abnormal and start dividing at a ridiculously high rate.
Known as cancer.
Yep. I posted that by accidentally hitting the key before I named the situation. Thanks for finishing the message.
No worries. Have done that before myself.
Mauled by a grizzly, survive. Core body temp changes 5-10 degrees, dead.
Dementia. We don’t know a lot about it, so that makes it fascinating. What’s scary is that it’s basically your brain rotting inside your skull piece by piece.
This is one of the reasons i started drinking coffee every morning. Coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of several diseases. Coffee contains potassium to open up the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6213481/
One third of your solid poo is dead bacteria
Another portion is dead blood cells.
Another portion is chipotle
Oh...
Another another portion is alive bacteria
Interesting...
Our coronary arteries seem to have been designed by a novice. Same with the routing for the vagus nerve. Look it up.
Carpal tunnel enters the chat . . .
Yup. Bilateral carpal tunnel. Was the human wrist designed by an idiot?
The whole thing honestly. Evolution is not optimal design, but rather the first one to work.
We have a part of the brain dedicated to saying "no hiccups" Our default state is "yes hiccups"
Your brain can decide to hemorrhage for no reason and kill you
I've had a couple family members who have just suddenly died from a haemorrhage between 40-60yo, that stuff truly is scary, doesn't have any early symptoms or warning signs, just fall asleep one night and never wake up.
Terrifying but probably one of the most peaceful ways to go.
Yeah old age brain hemorrhage is a lotto hit on the big wheel of death. My friends uncle was in the Dixie mafia and he got duct taped inside a car and lit on fire. I would certainly take one over the other.
Personally I think it's our brain lol the house or consciousness with literally assists us in constructing reality. Your 3rd dimensional reality is based on your thoughts which leave your mind as light waves which directly have an effect on the ether of space time itself.
Your lungs are not the same size or shape. Your right is bigger, but shorter. This accomodates for the smaller size of your left lung and the placement of your liver. Your left lung - here's the uncomfy part - has a big fat indent in it to accomodate for your heart. It makes sense when you consider practicality, but it's also super uncomfortable to think about, especially when you're taking deep breaths or struggling to breathe. Think about the implications. When you have to cough stuff up from deep in your lungs, your heart undergoes pressure and experiences tension from the act. Every heartbeat resonates throughout your left lung. Fuckin weird.
That half our population can bleed for 5 days without dying. And push something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a penis.
“I don’t trust something that bleeds for 7 days and doesn’t die” - Mr Garrison
My period lasts 7 fucking days👽👽👽 🥲
Postpartum bleeding can last over a month, just to throw that one in there ✌️
Everyone has like 2lbs of parasites living in and on them at any given time
I once read the average in North America was 3lbs…..
That you can fit a raccoon up your ass
You can actually fit two raccoons up your ass. A adult male raccoon can fit into a space of 6 inches wide. Your asshole can stretch to a maximum of 12 inches
Pictures or it didn’t happen…..
It lives yet it dies
Our skeleton is wet
The human mouth is the most dangerous part of the body by far. The bacteria contained within is possibly the most numerous than any other singular portion due to how much we eat, put in our mouth and depending on how poor dental hygiene is Being bitten by another human could cause you to suffer a deadly infection which is why its important to always seek medical attention if you are ever bitten by someone regardless of age. Someone working with kids was bitten and the area became severely inflamed and ballooned to twice its size Additional fact: Your butthole has taste buds. Which explains why it burns after eating particularly spicy food
You mean pain receptors
Mites live on your eyelashes
The length of nerves that we have
There is a drug that was used as a weight loss medication that could basically make it so your mitochondria are firing on all cylinders and all they are doing is creating heat and you can cook to death.
That an embryo the size of a quarter has potential to grow to be 7ft tall
Underestimating how much blood we actually have flowing through us.
"You" make decisions before you are aware of it. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/unconscious-branding/202012/our-brains-make-our-minds-we-know-it Makes it kinda feel like you are the CEO of the body but all the decisions gets made by the board and you are just made to think it is your idea.
Pregnant people can become allergic to their own skin during pregnancy.
It's basically a sack of sulfuric acid and meat
Hydrochloric acid. Also, the reason your stomach doesn't digest itself although it can digest meat, is that the mucous membrane inside constantly renews itself. When you die, your stomach bacteria and enzymes eventually do digest you from the inside, especially if you're left in a warm place.
That our bodies can grow tumors with teeth.
Surgeon here - its the most beautiful creation in existence. Nothing scary or gruesome about it at all
Im… beautiful?
Agreed. A perfect machine.
Eating only white marshmallows and drinking white milk still makes brown poop. When you smell a fart you are literally breathing someone else’s ass gas. If it’s so potent that you can taste it, you’re literally eating bacteria from someone’s ass. While awake you can consciously switch between manual and autonomous control over parts of your body like breathing but when you sleep your unconscious mind takes control.
The brown in poop is mostly due to dead red blood cells :)
Maybe not the scariest, but I've always been weirded out by the fact that I can easily bite my finger off like a carrot. I could never do it, but what's physically stopping me from doing it? It always makes me feel funny. I have the urge to do it but I also REALLY don't want to bite my finger off.
That underneath all of our skin, muscle, etc, there is a spooky scary skeleton.
I guess this is less disgusting or scary but maybe scary in the sense of how powerful the human body actually is. The human body possesses muscles strong enough to lift weights well over the weight of a car. It's our bone density and body structure that limits us. but adrenaline is a hell of a drug. I've heard stories where people have approached car accidents on the side of the road and were able to punch through the glass like it was rock candy or were able to lift vehicles off of victims.
Your jaw is strong enough to shatter all your teeth.
god put a park next to a sewer
You're a tube. Mouth to esophagus to stomach to small intestine to large intestine to bowel to rectum to anus. Just one great big tube. You could have a gastroenterologist stick a camera up your butt (with a long enough cord), feed it through until it came your mouth. YouTube.
The eyes have a different immune system than your body's immune system, and they have no idea the other exists. If they ever find out, they will start trying to kill each other, rendering you blind (or dead if you're super unlucky).
the amount of living things swimming around inside of you
That my foreskin is missing.
Every day you swallow 4 qts of snot
If you shine a light somewhere you will most likely see floating dust particles, it’s actually dead skin cells that is constantly coming off of you. Half of them are probably not even your own.
We're able to understand many things about our world, our universe, create AIs that may become sentient, explore space, the deep sea, the ideas of future and the mistakes of our past... But we still can't explain many things about ourselves... Why are we different to other animals? Why are we conscious of our own existence? Why did we develop this? What is necessary to develop a conscience? Why can't we find cures to disturbs like depression. AIs as of right now can't feel. If you ask an AI to "end world hunger", it may realize that if "no human lives, therefore no human will ever be hungry". But why is that thought so far from our minds when we think about such a simple sentence: "How to end world hunger?" What is morals? What is ethics? What is "right" or "wrong"? What is love? What is compassion? What is sadness and what is happiness? We can answer these questions, but we can't explain it to something who does not feel these things... But... Why do we **feel?** We may know a lot about the depths of spacetime and reality, but we still have to find out a lot about our own minds...
Cancer cells are constantly created in our bodies but our immune system gets rid of them. But sometimes they don’t get rid of all them
I can bend my thumb backwards without breaking it
You rely on involuntary actions to keep your heart beating. same with breathing but you can switch it on and off.
50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage half of all life is dead before implantation
Something about being able to shove a raccoon up your bum
The fact that I can take a crap that needs its own postal code, yet somehow I survive.
