She does have a point. We should replace our weak and ugly flesh with strong steel and blessed machine.

    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.

    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.

    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 probably you. Or whoever else drives the car :D

    Engineers should develop a self cleaning steering wheel.

    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.

    We are also smelly cause we sweat but don’t a have great sense of smell so our dogs and cats probably know a lot about us through that without us knowing

    Noses are so ugly and they're right in the middle of the face. Very hard to avoid looking at those ugly things.

    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)

    I remember I offended someone once with the offhanded remark that human earlobes are gross lol

    Jealous of people that have that rare trait where the lobe is connected. Their earrings look so nice.
