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

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

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

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.

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

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

You reached the end

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