Ah yeah, my comment was caveated as such, because I assumed those bacteria to have mostly gotten there via food. Then again, no idea if any even survive going through the stomach acid...
Oh like all of the material of your body was food, at first I thought you just had really bad grammar and meant "all of you" meaning allb of us readers or something and all the comments were just keeping up the bit

What do you mean "almost"?
pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de · 33 pts · 1y
Part of you is oxygen you inhaled.
kbal@fedia.io · 7 pts · 1y
Most of that oxygen has been around I would think, but I guess some atoms would've come from recent micrometeorites or whatever.

I guess, some bacteria might have made it into your body in other ways, but might still be considered part of you in the wider sense...?

Plus there's all those microplastics mixed in there.
Godort@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 1y
Those were also arguably food at some point

Eating something doesn't make it food. You can eat a bike but you're not a metalovore.

There’s more life in your gut than cells in your whole body

Almost all of you is food right now if you go try and hug a bear.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
Hey hey, I'm not a cannibal! I'm just a little chubby... and I like hugs...

You hear it as a joke when you're young, but it's not til you're old that you realize "you are what you eat" is literal.

All of us are food all the time.

Literally all of you was either food/drink or oxygen from the air at some point—whether it was consumed by you or by your mother.

Unless you have dental fillings or other implants.

Theseus' ship wants to know if those fillings are really part of you
SuDmit@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y
Is Theseus happy?
AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Theseus’ ship hasn’t been the same since they replaced the rudder with an AI.

No, most of me was water I drank!

You were water that YOU drank???
Oh......oh this is hurting my brain trying to work this out.
Cyv_@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y
Jokes on you, I'm technically food right now!
tinwhistlepilot@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y
Indeed I’m food for bears!

I don't get it. Is this a joke about "swallowing" ?
admin@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 1y
I don't think so, more like you are built of nutrients you get from food you eat so technically you are the food you ate.
tatann@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
Thanks, maybe I should sometimes get my mind out of the gutter
