Of all of the cells in your body, less than 45% of them are human. The majority are microorganisms designed to work with your gross-ass self for similarly gross organic meat-bag processes.

Hej, I think its pretty cool how much slime we got producet in our bodies every day, like up to 1 liter! Me, personally, find it gross dat our noses produce that many bacteria, lol.

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:

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.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 10 minutes ago

My pleasure. XD

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

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 4 points 8 hours ago

Takes trying for a few days to stretch your tongue to get it far enough back.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Keep stretching!

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!

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 3 points 8 hours ago

Also helps reduce the gag reflex. ;)

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Your tongue game must be legendary. Lucky partner.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It is but she does not even entertain that idea sadly.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Have you tried putting it in something other than noses?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

Humans can grow horns similarly to Omens in Elden Ring. Cutaneous horns can be caused by benign growths, precancerous lesions, or even skin cancer. Apparently, these are also becoming increasingly common in people.

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

[–] webp@mander.xyz 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

Here is an artist's depiction of someone afflicted:

Nah, for real it's pretty gnar:

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 2 points 39 minutes ago

She looks like she's having a brainshit

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

I feel like she could have that reduced somehow if she wanted.

You can eat anything that comes out of your own or anyone else's body to increase your power level.
