You can make body facts sound weirdly threatening by adding 'currently' to them.
Your teeth are the only parts of your skeleton currently visible
The femur is currently the longest bone in your body
Even just asking body related questions with currently in them is really disturbing.
How much blood is currently in your body?
@Iamreddave Is your brain currently located inside your skull?
@Iamreddave your skin currently covers your entire body.
Yup. Works.
@pseudonym your largest currently internal organ is the liver
@Iamreddave
You currently have about 4g of iron in your blood.
@Iamreddave The spinal cord is the link between brain and body, that *currently* allows you move your arms & legs.
@Iamreddave
True - but teeth are not skeletal tissue
@Greenbirder you think skeletons should not have teeth?
@Iamreddave That mounted skeleton has teeth but teeth are not skeletal tissue. They are not bone. Basic anatomy.
@Greenbirder @Iamreddave I'm with you on that, but maybe some rephrasing as non-soft tissue or such would work.
@shadyspotlight @Greenbirder @Iamreddave I feel that finger and toe nails would also be considered “non-soft tissue”
@Iamreddave made me think of a #Discworld quote... but then most things make me think of a Discworld quote
""Blessings be on this house," Granny said, perfunctorily. It was always a good opening remark for a witch. It concentrated people's minds on what other things might be on this house." -Witches Abroad, Terry Pratchett
@Iamreddave you are currently alive.
@Iamreddave The largest organ in the human body is currently the skin.
Anne C.A. Baanen @Iamreddave This works for many scientific facts!
- Inside every atom there are currently electrons and a nucleus.
- The earth currently orbits around the sun.
- The most populous species of mammals is currently humans.
- 1 + 1 currently equals 2.
@Vierkantor "recently found" world for current there. And it's true to a generous definition of recent
@Vierkantor @Iamreddave "currently" always has the threatening aura of "but it might change" to them/itself
@Iamreddave Like so many other things in language use, I think this is well explained by the Gricean Maxims[0], particularly the maxim of quantity: "Do not make your contribution more informative than is required." By bringing up time in this way, you are implying that it might change - otherwise why would you mention it?
@Iamreddave your intestines currently end at your anus
@blogdiva your intestines end at your current anus
@Iamreddave @blogdiva your current intestines end at your anus
@Iamreddave All of your bones are currently wet.
@Iamreddave
The backbone is currently connected to the neck bone....
@Iamreddave Book marked. I have this notion my 9 yo goddaughter will like this one.
@Iamreddave "Your skeleton is currently 15% of your total body mass."
I like this one, because it implies there are two different ways you could go with it.
@Iamreddave the mitochondria is currently the powerhouse of the cell
@Iamreddave I like the femur one because it has 2 options:
1. Another bone gets bigger
2. The femur gets a lot shorter
Both very threatening haha
you have two lungs… for now
@Iamreddave
Lamely, that’s what they said.
@Iamreddave
Isnt the femur also one of the longest rodent?
@ipd @Iamreddave
That would be the Capybara.
@Iamreddave You can achieve the same level of threat by being odly specific.
"I am going to meet my friends, who are still alive."
"My boss who still lives, has asked me to go in early tomorrow"
@quixoticgeek@social.v.st @Iamreddave@mastodon.ie my neighbour, who still has all his limbs, has asked me to have a conversation about the fence between our properties.
@darkphoenix @Iamreddave My neighbour who is still breathing has done similar...
@darkphoenix @Iamreddave Oh, and don't forget to mix them up. "Who currently still has all their limbs..."
@Iamreddave Your lungs can currently hold about six liters of air.
Yup, checks out.
