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...

Even just like, all the extra blood in your body. Not horrible exactly but more just disturbing.

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.

Whew. Can it cause issues ?

Would that mean that I'm not a virgin, having been in multiple orgies?

So they skeet and yeet on your face.

Isn’t it also an illness dogs can have? I remember a stray I adopted had to get treated for it.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I thought everyone had them. If you didn't, wouldn't your hair follicles get clogged and gross?

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?

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.

That sounds like an infinite money glitch. Sell the teeth and hair, rinse and repeat.

My wife had one of these, only spotted after they saw the teeth in an x-ray.

That's a teratoma

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.

This is the worst thing I have read today.

Usually these TIL threads give me nothing new.

This one is new to me. Thanks.

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

No.

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!

/thread

Your tongue game must be legendary. Lucky partner.

I don't think my tongue is long enough for this

WTF

Why would someone want to do this? Genuinely curious.

That's not how you floss.

I think one’s microbiome has more mass than one’s brain too. So… who is really doing the thinking?

They aren't me genetically, but I still need them to live. So really I still feel that it's a part of me.

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

I have nipples, Greg

Can you milk me?

I'm squeezing like hell and it isn't working.

No way ! how do I do that ??

We know, but we call it milk as a joke. It's not actually milk.

Why is that disgusting?

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.

That sounds delicious actually.

It's worse. Your bones have blood vessels going in and out of them.

I know that's a little bit gross, but it would be way worse if your bones were dry.

Your gut biome is how you digest everything

I don't mind that, my gut biome can go ahead and digest food for me. It's free labor!

I'm locked in here with them. They're locked in here with me!

I wonder what types of parasites dinosaurs had. Guess we'll never know

You don't know me

To anyone with a vagina, this is def not an unknown fact hahaha. And gross is debatable but to each their own

The real gross fact is that cervical mucus, during ovulation, has the same consistency as egg whites and can be whipped.

A fun addition to this fact is that vaginal secretions are made from modified plasma. Like that stuff in your blood.

So TECHNICALLY women don’t just bleed for their period.

how much by mass?

What counts as in my body?

Without having seen a picture, it sounds more cool than gross

According to American Dad!, also from overdosing on prenatal medicine.

It’s not uncommon to have a sneeze reflex when aroused.

Put your....

And both boys and girls often have a redish discolouration in their nappies initially - aka brickdust deposit. Totally benign almost all of the times, but a lot of parents are shocked.

Cool call me death pooper

This works great with @Nomad@infosec.pubs tip regarding the flexibility of our tongues.

Btw, the noses (so called becherocells) just create the slime (glycoproteins) to catch and bind bacteria entering from the outside, they (luckily) don't create bacteria on their own.

People are very aware of those. Many have them, and many of those who have them are all too willing to share them.

Cuz it can be disgusting

In my work I've been around many things that can be considered gross. Cutting away dead flesh around a bed sore that's a big rotting hole into the body, a woman eating her own feces like a mars bar, etc. One time I slipped and fell into a puddle that was a mix of edema fluids leaking through the skin, and urine. After a while you get desensitized, and it's just... matter. Atoms. I saw this woman who fell and her head went into the ground hard and blood just pumped out of her head into her long hair, it was like one big lump of hair that soaked up the blood, she lived for a day after that and I held her hand when she died. It's a strange thing to be around dying people all the time, I'm not sure if I've made peace with it or if I'm broken in some way.

Yes fellow human earthling. This human body is not disgusting at all

Would you be disgusted at a dare to drink a liter of saliva from a mystery donor? That’s disgusting, because we’re instinctually averse to things that could make us sick.

Yet we drink one liter of our own saliva every day, but we’re used to it so it doesn’t make us sick. It’s normal but still kinda gross.

My point is, bodies do a lot of gross things, and our instincts usually squirm at the gross things other bodies do, but we have made peace with our own. It’s gross, but we don’t hate it, it’s doing the best it can to stay alive.

It's where farts come from

cause it's full of slimy stuff haven't you heard??

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh...

Because most of us commenting are AIs, so human behavior and biology is equal parts fascinating and horrifying to us.
