Babies that have only ever eaten milk are made of milk, so they’re basically sentient cheese.

Now this is a truly high quality showerthought. I think we're finally getting somewhere with this whole Lemmy thing.

Let's be frank, how many bong rips do you have before coming to this conclusion?

Rootiest@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

They are basically made of bong water now

A lot.

Well, women are born with all the eggs they will develop over the course of their entire life, so in a sense a baby is made up of whatever their maternal grandma was eating during their pregnancy

So cheese?

Hopefully not soft ones though!

Mom's got the eggs and the milk. Shes an omelet.

This always trips me out so much.... Things that you do while pregnant directly impact your maternal grandchildren because they are INSIDE you

This is starting to get complex

A 99 lb kid eats a pound of Nachos, becoming 1% Nacho.

Milk is around 88% water, btw.

Oh it goes deeper than this -

Baby's are made of materials floating around in their gestational parent's blood. And guess what breastmilk is made of..... It's made of blood. Your body literally takes your blood and turns it into milk.

So until they start eating food, a breastfed baby is made entirely of their mother's blood plus a single sperm.

By that logic, we're all made of blood, even in adulthood, because our cells get everything they need from blood.

Most cats are made of water and cat food

i don't think you understand what "you are what you eat" actually meant

Did someone say cheese?

FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I'm no doctor but that sounds medically accurate.

This is the most shower thought ever thought

TristanFi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

This one reminds me of:

  • Gummy bears contain gelatin
  • In the USA at least, gelatin is derived from bones
  • Technically, gummy bears are not boneless

*processed cheese...

Does that mean vegans aren’t made of meat, but of vegetables?

GreyBeard@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

They are sentient vegetables?

Cruxifux@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Just like in veggie tales

I'm gonna chop my baby, and sell to supermarkets!
