And these facts are how you ruin reincarnation. You know how many passes you need to be human again? It's a lot.

This thought is kind of inspiring, in a "gratitude for what you have" way.

But also... Imagine knowing that your child most likely was some amoeba in their previous life. Actually don't do that.

Your child was a single cell in this live.

I like your headspace!

Nooooooo! 😫

Imagine being reborn as some silly bacteria miles below the surface of the earth, though. 😖

thanks for reminding me, i gotta stop accruing karma

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Hm, what are we taking now. Soul as a material construct? Wouldn't fit into a worms nervous system. Soul as something incorporeal? Why stop at animals as smart as an object? Reincarnated into a cupboard?

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.

2 > 1

This seems actually to be true.

There are more living organisms in one tablespoon of people than there are people on earth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I'm sure of it but that ruins the pun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nahhhh, depends entirely on where from. Digestive tract? Absolutely. Middle of a large muscle? Not by a long shot.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Oh sure, apply this logic to the human body but soil gets a free pass. Enough of this online pro-soil/anti-human agenda.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Average tablespoon then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not by a long shot. Only the digestive tract has a ton of bacteria in it. Bacteria elsewhere is called an infection.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There are about 38 trillion bacteria in the average human. The volume of the average human is about 4500 U.S. tablespoons. Thus an average tablespoon of human has 8.4 billion bacteria in it.

Any specific tablespoon will vary greatly, that's why I said average tablespoon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So you're not taking a random tablespoon, but averaging the bacteria. That's a different setup.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, not a random specific tablespoon of a specific human; a generalized average count based on a tablespoon of average human.

The average human has less than 2 legs, less than two nipple, and less than one testicle.

I approve this message

This must be how all of your Shovel-centric romance novels read.

the air smelled like loam

Bish, loam is a particle size distribution and has nothing to do with soil fertility directly

This is a brilliant shitpost but at the same time it got this reaction from me:

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't see him eating crayons, probably not.
