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.
WTF
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.
Human face pores are home to tiny, microscopic mites called Demodex.
They are most active at night, when they leave their follicles to mate on the face and then return to find a new follicle.
Almost everyone has them. So there are tiny arachnids having sex on your face every night.
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...
I was told all the things that could go wrong when I was a kid, and then my mother was all, why not have a kid, and I was just
"CAUSE IT'S A NIGHTMARE???" lol
Newborn baby girls can experience a phenomenon called "false menses" or "mini-periods" due to a sudden drop in maternal estrogen after birth, causing slight vaginal bleeding or a blood-tinged discharge that typically lasts only a few days.
You can develop a rectourinal fistula and end up pissing shit
Annnd thread closed.
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.
There's a type of cyst called dermoid cyst which can grow hair, nails or even teeth inside it.
If you feed a latex tube through the nose and out the mouth then pull it back and forth, it makes a squeaking sound
That's not how you floss.

When fertile, women have significantly increased mucus volume in their vaginas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervix
Several hundred glands in the endocervix produce 20–60 mg of cervical mucus a day, increasing to 600 mg around the time of ovulation.
The real gross fact is that cervical mucus, during ovulation, has the same consistency as egg whites and can be whipped.
To anyone with a vagina, this is def not an unknown fact hahaha. And gross is debatable but to each their own
To anyone with a long term partner that has a vagina it’s hardly news either.
There are more cells in your body that aren't you, than are.
The count of bacterial cells in your gut, on your skin etc is higher than the number of your own cells.
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.
Teeth, or rather where they meet your skull and jaw, are technically classified as a kind of joint!
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.
I don't mind that, my gut biome can go ahead and digest food for me. It's free labor!
Our noses have erectile tissue.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_concha
Conchae are lined by pseudostratified columnar, ciliated respiratory epithelium with a thick, vascular, and erectile glandular tissue layer.
