damn like… i get it and the meme’s not wrong, but i think a lot of it is so cool. how the circulatory system went (evolutionarily) from being “just squirt blood on all the organs” to the elegant, efficient tube-based system we have. like, it’s kind of insane we have tubes routing blood to our entire body, everything in it, and coming back to a central point
or how there are so many parts of our body that just have a natural microbiome that we coexist with. like we have our own little slice of like… world, inside us
(poop is kinda gross tho, i can’t lie)
She does have a point. We should replace our weak and ugly flesh with strong steel and blessed machine.
The omnissiah approves.
From the moment I understood the weaknesses of my flesh, it disgusted me!
A steel skeliton. Like Wolferine! We’re gonna be X-Men!!! But…just the one. Just Wolferine. Unless any extremely buff guys want to dress like a big blue furry guy.
…yeah, I just heard it as I said it. Someone out there is ABSOLUTELY already doing that, unrelated to this plan.
Plastic!
holes
Biology in general is disgusting. Eating is gross, its just a weird process if you think about it, and especially weird that so much of our lives are dedicated to it. Waste removal is extra gross. Reproduction is… not even gunna go there but it’s gross, and childbirth is so much worse. Mouths are gross, our protruding luxury bones are gross, tongues are just tiny tentacles, and thats gross. Also theres just -so much hair- which is, you guessed it, gross.
Guts are gross. I know we aren’t meant to survive disemboweling, but we do it routinely now to deliver babies, and do they put your intestines back where they belong? Hell no! They just shove that shit back in there and let it sort itself out.
And then we move away from humans and other animals lick themselves to get clean which is gross. They eat poop, sometimes directly from a rectum (theirs or not), which is gross.
Diseases are gross, auto-immune issues are gross…
Man.
I find it best to just not really spend a lot of time thinking about the practicalities of biology. I mean, I have done the thinking, and imho, its not really worth it. It just makes everything seem gross, genuinely. Like really, stop to think about just hair growth, a relatively benign fact of biology. Some small thing starts growing under your skin at a bud point, then erupts through your protective skin layer, and just keeps growing… until its multiple feet long, in some cases (thank fuck leg, armpit, and genital hair stops growing at inches instead of feet). Just gross.
That’s why humans also have a strong biological drive to find things inexplicably attractive about each other. That raw rugged attraction to someone who turns you on. Strong enough to blind them to all the gross things. This is nature’s aphrodisiac.
OTOH I generally agree with you, I cannot be blind to how gross we are. Every time I take a warm steaming shit, there’s no way I can feel attractive to anyone. I even lose attraction for anyone as soon as I smell any normal human foul odor emanating from any of their numerous orifices, or see something gross about them. This is nature’s birth control.
Heh, maybe thats why I find humans so gross. I have absolute zero sex drive (ace/aro), so no instinctual compulsion to overlook how gross humans are.
How do you explain people who like poop, etc? Maybe that’s humanity evolving beyond past limitations?
What do you mean they like poop? That’s nasty.
Now drinking pee, that’s just classy.
auto-immune issues are gross…
Autoimmune issues at least know who the enemy is.
There are Buddhist meditations that are more or less exactly this post.
Dis-enchants sexuality, basically.
“protruding luxury bones” What are those?
Teeth
Outside bones!
This is how acid makes me feel. Everything about people becomes so…gross. Dirty, oily, grimy. Yuck.
Humans would be grosser without skeletons.
Like cats.
They do have one. It’s just, sometimes liquid.
Skeletons are the least gross part tbh. I used to have a skeleton as my pfp, and also because it’s the closest I imagine getting to genderneutral euphoria lmao
Let me out of this meat cage 🍖
Skeletons would be less gross without the fleshy parts around them.
Also, your bones are wet.
Moist
There is a big wet muscle squooshing away in the middle of your chest. All the time it is just in there, gooey and wet, writhing around making blood move around.
If it stops doing the mushing with the wet sloppy stuff, you die.
I’ll bet if it were out in the open it would sound like a toddler eating Mac and cheese by chewing with an open mouth.
lol gross
Don’t get me started on all the different revolting fluids.
Man is just an improperly deboned donut.
Meat donut. They’re made out of meat.
stupid autocorrect
Filled with shit. We are shit filled meat fritters.
Shit filled meat cannoli
Go all the way or don’t go at all…
We’re just a coiled tube, surrounded by a protective sustainment system, that requires constant maintenance.
Down with body positivity, up with egalitarian body negativity!
You are 35-140kg of under refrigerated self heating meat. You have been out and thawed but not properly dehydrated for decades. You are disgusting.
I am weird therefore I am.
You only need to look up how much hair and skin we loose every day to know she’s right
My steering wheel has a 2mm deep layer of dead skin on the top half for some reason.
The reason is because you aren’t cleaning it.
The reason is probably you. Or whoever else drives the car :D
Engineers should develop a self cleaning steering wheel.
And a steering wheel that doesn’t fly out the window while I’m driving
Tesla owner?
do you put lotion on in the car?
either way that’s nasty. go get a new steering wheel if it won’t come off
Sinews invoke the word gnngnngnn in me.
Do you even know how much sticky red liquid is in there, which you can’t get out of your carpet
THANK YOU
Hahaha why does this comment sound so cathartic
Because it is from both of me
