[Fun Fact] You're a piece of s**t, literally.

in #science7 years ago (edited)

Now, before you get offended, hear me out...

We live in a world where we as humans, see ourselves as the ones in the power position. I'd like to disrupt that logic for a second.

Deep inside your gut, one centimeter of your lower colon, lives and works more bacteria than there are humans that have ever been born.

And we want to think we're in charge??

You know what you are to a bacterium?
You're just a vessel of dark anaerobic fecal matter. Hence the title

However famous you are, doesn't matter. All they care about is that you are a vessel for them.

Here we are as humans thinking we're on top of something... But if you get that bacteria upset, they'll remind you who's in charge..
