Surprisingly not in this thread: all the horrible things pregnancy can do.

    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...

    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?

    You can develop a rectourinal fistula and end up pissing shit

    Don't humans start out with them before they then later develop into the anus and genitals if I'm remembering my random Internet rabbit hole searches correctly

    Probably. I know everyone starts off as girls before some continue on as guys. Which is why guys have nipples and that line on their scrotum and taint.

    Not so sure about the earlier developments though.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Teeth, or rather where they meet your skull and jaw, are technically classified as a kind of joint!

    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.

    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?
