    Guess where almost all your fatass has to go in order to lose it? Your lungs. You have to breathe out more than goes into your face hole. That's a lot of breathing.

    It's the krebs cycle. If you look at how sugar is broken down by the cells to make atp, the actual energy your cells use, it takes C6H12O6 (sugar) and makes it into a few CO2 and H2O, getting energy (atp) from breaking it down into the components. That CO2 is then exhaled, which is I think what OP is referring to.

    Note: it's been a long time since I learned that in class so it is most likely somewhat incorrect

    That would be a great stage. "Aww look, that little polyp has a face! So cute :)"

    With various opening and closing sphincters you have to time properly.

    It'd be like a trippy episode of Magic Schoolbus. XD

    I'll take a chance on literally every jump that has a 15% chance of saving me 5 seconds and an 85% chance of failing miserably and costing me 12 seconds. Every lap. Every time.

    Sooner or later, it's gonna pay off. I swear.

    It's all connected. It's a series of tubes.

    We are essentially a coiled tube surrounded by a maintenance apparatus.

    Has the meaning of 'creepy' changed? I used it because blue eyes give me the creeps, they're reptilian, cold and cruel looking.

    That's a pretty big bias there. And irrational at such broad strokes go

    You are, but you aren'5 protected from them being judged if you share them. You made a disgusting statement that is kinda horrible and hurtful to anyone who happens to have been born with blue eyes.

    Opinions are sometimes offensive. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all as I was taught. Just because you can share an opinion doesn't mean you should. But you do have every right to have an opinion, like everyone else

    That, and then you realize that you primarily lose weight through your breathing.

    The atoms in the air you're breathing are billions of years old, and the molecules could have been made 5 minutes or a billion years ago. Probably both in the same breath.

    Well, it's kinda cool to look around and also realize that much of what you see likely came from multiple supernovae and/or kilonovae. (Huh. I have never needed to pluralize the word 'kilonova' before. Meh.. It looks cool with the 'e', so I'll leave it.)

    Eventually, our atoms are going to get blasted out across the universe again to maybe become part of some other planetary system, before it eventually gets destroyed or sucked into blackhole and is evaporated as radiation. This might not even be the first universe our bits have been a part of ..

    So not only do I have a skeleton inside of me, it’s constantly pissing?

    Depending on where we put the sense of "self" we are in our skeleton and its pissing on us. Weirdly gross to think about.

    If they are constantly wet, why aren’t they soggy and not maintaining our structure?

    This whole thread is disturbing to me.

    It's only the marrow that is wet. The structural part of the bone is non-absorbent.

    The marrow can exert a lot of pressure. Many years ago, I had to have chemotherapy, and in between chemo rounds got marrow-stimulating shots to make the marrow ooze blood more and reduce the amount of time I was anemic. The associated pain in my large bones was the worst pain I have ever had.
