Humans are seriously so weird and cool at the same time! I could nerd out all day about the bizarre yet amazing stuff our bodies can do.
Reading time: 3 minutes
Know your tongue
Did you know your tongue actually has a unique print, just like your fingerprints?! Wild to think those lil’ tongue ridges form distinct patterns. It’s like we’re all walking around with secret tongue tats or something, haha.
Your Eyeballs
Also, our eyeballs are no joke – the lenses can automatically change shape to focus on closeup vs faraway stuff. We don’t even have to think about it! I remember in science class learning that word for it, “accommodation.” Dope vocab word for an dope adaptation if you ask me.
Your Skin
Another mind-blowing fact – your skin is actually the heaviest organ when you weigh all of it together! Crazy to imagine how much space that lil’ protective layer takes up all over your bod. No wonder sunscreen and lotion are big biz, with skin covering so much real estate.
Sneeze
And I heard most astronauts sneeze weird in zero-g! Without gravity pulling drainage down, their sniffles and snot just kinda get trapped internally. Must be super bizarre and kinda gross feeling too, lol. Kinda glad I don’t have to experience space sneezes firsthand though!
And Your Eardrums
Oh, and did you know your eardrums have the fastest muscles for twitching around sound detection?! We can crinkle those lil earflaps at over 60mph. Must’ve been mega helpful for our cavemen ancestors trying to track rustling leaves for dangers and prey. Pretty dope built-in skills if you ask me!
Humans are seriously crazy anatomical beings under the surface. The more you think about how it all works, the more like alien freaks of nature we seem, haha! Wild stuff.
