A lot of poop is dead bacteria by volume.
Cool call me death pooper
ear wax tastes slightly bitter.
Penises.
People are very aware of those. Many have them, and many of those who have them are all too willing to share them.
Yeah, but have you considered; penises?
Hmm.
Surprisingly not in this thread: all the horrible things pregnancy can do.
Even just like, all the extra blood in your body. Not horrible exactly but more just disturbing.
I’m fairly certain that if women would get a full disclaimer with all the nasty side effects a pregnancy comes with, they’d give it a second thought… On the other hand, some women insist on having a second baby… And then a third… And a fourth…
I was told all the things that could go wrong when I was a kid, and then my mother was all, why not have a kid, and I was just
“CAUSE IT’S A NIGHTMARE???” lol
Sometimes they don’t get the really horrible effects, or at least not the first couple of times.
Retrograde menstruation.
Because the feliciano tubes aren’t closed on the ends, where they interact with the ovaries, blood from a period can flow backwards into your abdominal cavity.
Additionally, a small amount of sperm (if a woman is sexually active and say trying for a baby) can also go the full way and leak into the abdominal cavity.
So some women can have blood and semen free floating in their abdominal cavity. Between organs
Edit: autocorrect got me. I meant “fallopian tubes”
Feliciano tubes, you say… Felopian tubes, do you mean?
I find it a bit funny that your gross examples are semen. But also yeah. So sticky.
It’s always Christmas with some ovaries.
To avoid stickyness what you want to do is, since it’s a protein, freeze dry it with liquid nitrogen as soon as it exits the urethra and viola! no more sticky.
Whew. Can it cause issues ?
It can! This is one of the possible causes of endometriosis.
Well that’s very good to know. I’m telling my wife. Thanks for the info
You can end up with a baby developing where it shouldn’t if I remember currently in extremely rare cases
Ectopic pregnancy
Human face pores are home to tiny, microscopic mites called Demodex.
They are most active at night, when they leave their follicles to mate on the face and then return to find a new follicle.
Almost everyone has them. So there are tiny arachnids having sex on your face every night.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Would that mean that I’m not a virgin, having been in multiple orgies?
“In” feels like the wrong preposition here, since the creatures involved are all on the same side of you. Next to? It’s more like you’re a room or two away from an orgy and the sound doesn’t really carry.
So they skeet and yeet on your face.
They don’t poop from what I recall.
But they don’t go anywhere when they die so you are covered with poop balloon corpses.
Isn’t it also an illness dogs can have? I remember a stray I adopted had to get treated for it.
It’s not an illness. In most cases they are completely harmless and unavoidable, you get them from your mom as a baby and carry them your whole life. Most people have them. A minority of people can have some skin condition due to them, but it’s quite rare. And yes dogs carry them too, but not an issue for them either.
In individuel numbers, how much do you think we’re talking here? 1 per follicle, what would that be couple 10k? More? Do they live peacefully with eyebrow mites or is there a nightly war at the edge?
I thought everyone had them. If you didn’t, wouldn’t your hair follicles get clogged and gross?

You can develop a rectourinal fistula and end up pissing shit
Annnd thread closed.
This is the first comment on my post that actually makes me feel uncomfortable.
Imma have to tell you to stop doing everything you’re doing immediately.
One hole for everything! A pseudo-cloaca :3
A rectovaginal fistula is fun too. Imagine having a mix of period blood and poop exiting your vagina.
There’s a type of cyst called dermoid cyst which can grow hair, nails or even teeth inside it.
That sounds like an infinite money glitch. Sell the teeth and hair, rinse and repeat.
Evil twin farming
Enough to be gross, too little to be profitable. Wonder what kind of teeth it grows, maybe you could use them as spares.
Exploiting the generosity of the tooth fairy beyond normal limits.
My wife had one of these, only spotted after they saw the teeth in an x-ray.
All that but we can’t grow new teeth in our mouths. What’s up with that, nature?
Just get a dermoid cyst on your gums and hope it grows teeth!
The Monkey paw curls, you now grow hairs in your mouth.
Like a baleen whale!
I had heard of that but didn’t know the name and forgot about it
I read this as demonoid cyst which might be a better name.
Its possible to stick your tongue inside your nose from inside your mouth. I am among quite a few people that can do it and clean the inside of the nose from boogers.
How you ask? Here is the Wikipedia page about that, because if course there is one:
WTF
Why would someone want to do this? Genuinely curious.
Feels strange at first, then its very handy. Helps unclog the nasal passages. You can even suck on a side passage and spit out what comes out. I once had a piece of string from a corona mask stuck in a side passage and was able to get that out just with my tongue. its also a nice trick so groce out people xD
This is the worst thing I have read today.
Lucky you!
Can’t everybody stick their tongue to the base of the nasal cavity? My tongue just can’t go in.
Its not that bad x)
Of all the things, this is the. Worst. Possible. Thing.
No.
Yes xD
Apparently if your tongue isn’t long or flexible enough, the Wikipedia has suggestions, ranging from months of flexing and tongue exercises, to just fucking snipping your frenulum.
“It is possible” lmao, like yeah, it’s also “possible” to put my dick in my butt if I cut my ass off and hold it in front of me XD
Usually these TIL threads give me nothing new.
This one is new to me. Thanks.
My pleasure. XD
I’m at third stage! I’ve been hiding my tongue behind my uvula since I was a kid. My dentist hated it!
I never thought of it as stretching… I guess I have a new hobby!
Also helps reduce the gag reflex. ;)
/thread
Your tongue game must be legendary. Lucky partner.
It is but she does not even entertain that idea sadly.
Have you tried putting it in something other than noses?
I don’t think my tongue is long enough for this
Takes trying for a few days to stretch your tongue to get it far enough back.
Keep stretching!
If you feed a latex tube through the nose and out the mouth then pull it back and forth, it makes a squeaking sound
That’s not how you floss.
That’s not how you floss.
squeaky squeaky squeaky
It’s actually called mental floss :)
There are more cells in your body that aren’t you, than are.
The count of bacterial cells in your gut, on your skin etc is higher than the number of your own cells.
I think one’s microbiome has more mass than one’s brain too. So… who is really doing the thinking?
My brain hasn’t that’s for sure
I’ve always found this interesting. Human beings (or any vertebrates I suppose) are really more of a colony than a single being. And it’s not just a technicality, it’s meaningful. Much of that colony interacts with your nervous system and affects your moods and behavior. You think you have total control of your mind, but you would think and act differently with a different balance of gut bacteria. Chew on that for a while…
This is one of the scientific plot holes in The Fly. Or at least the 1980s version. The head-swap version has other problems.
A ratio of 3:1 to 1.3:1
Your bones are wet
I love a wet bone
- Donald J. Trump
That sounds delicious actually.
It’s worse. Your bones have blood vessels going in and out of them.
I agree that’s way worse
I know that’s a little bit gross, but it would be way worse if your bones were dry.
Men too can produce milk.
I have nipples, Greg
Can you milk me?
I love you
Actually it is true
Certain psychiatric medicines that influence hormones does that - even in males
I’m squeezing like hell and it isn’t working.
No way ! how do I do that ??
Usually with hormone therapy
okk lets gooooooo
Take six mg estradiol enanthate injections weekly for two years. Follow up with domperidone-based lactation induction. Supplementing a testosterone blocker would also be useful.
Warning, this is essentially going on the full hormone therapy trans women go on. You can induce lactation, but it requires being hormonally female for an extended period of time. Look up the effects of mtf hormone therapy, as you would be getting all of them. Also the breast growth is permanent. You have been warned.
I am not genuinely contemplating doing the hormone therapy, the above comment was in jest. However that is very cool to learn about. I had no idea breast development was a one-way road. These are questions I never thought to ask. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes regular stimulation is enough. I saw one case where a man took on an orphaned infant where there wasn’t even any animal milk available to hack together formula, and the starving infant attempting to get milk out of his nipple every hour for multiple days was enough to get the one breast to start making milk, and the infant lived thanks to it.
The need for suckling to stimulate milk production is a catch-22 for women who don’t make enough milk. They have to supplement with formula to prevent “failure to thrive”, but the infant spending some of its sucking time on a bottle instead of a breast reduces their supply even more, so then they have to feed even more formula… There are devices that run a tube to the nipple so the infant can get formula from the tube while at the same time stimulating breast milk production, and they work, but look like a huge pain.
We know, but we call it milk as a joke. It’s not actually milk.
Why is that disgusting?
Because “Father’s Milk” hits different.
Don’t many things need to go wrong during fetal development for that? The mammary tissue is usually completely destroyed by birth in men.
well yeah but you have to have a baby first.
Like Arnold Schwartzeneggar!
Your gut biome is the only way you can digest leafy things. Without them most of it would just stay in there, or go right through you.
Your gut biome is how you digest everything
I think the point being made was that the enzyme used to break down cellulose is only made by bacteria, whereas the enzymes used to break down carbs, fats, and proteins are produced by the pancreas. Digestion is complicated though, teeth and stomach acid are also digesting in a way so it’s all an oversimplification
I don’t mind that, my gut biome can go ahead and digest food for me. It’s free labor!
I let fire do most of my digestion for me.
Username checks out
As an IBS sufferer, I’m here to tell you, it ain’t free.
Teeth, or rather where they meet your skull and jaw, are technically classified as a kind of joint!
