Should We Respect Our Microbiology More? - Cells should be appreciated for keeping us alive, I think

[not william stenchever]

Cells are the foundation that complex life builds upon. Literal billions of years were spent on microbial evolution that put Eukaryotic cells into the very special position that led to the line of multicellular lifeforms that were molded by evolutionary pressures into the plants, animals, and even fungi we see around us today. I think that the ascendance of the Eukaryotic cell in that period in history is under-appreciated. Evolution is cool enough that the organelles in a cell ended up being repeated in larger scale as organs in so many creatures. I think it's incredible. This deep thought isn't even scraping the role of prokaryotes in our guts etc.

If you have thoughts on this topic I would love to hear them.

I think you'd be better of appreciating God more for giving you those cells.

 

[Black Waltz]

I want to die, so no

 

[SweetDee]

How would you suggest we show our appreciation?

 

[Guts Gets Some]

Cells constantly die and new ones take their place.

If you replace all the cells in a human being, is it still the same human being?

 

[SiccDicc]

A group of cells working together to stay alive and function in different roles with no profit? This smells of communism.

How would you suggest we show our appreciation?

I dunno about you, but I'm gonna grab some Lysol wipes and take care of these communists.

I'm gonna exfoliate extra thoroughly.

Yeah. Who someone is mostly depends on their personalities, actions, and habits. Those rarely change.

Gut bacteria is the craziest shit and I love it.

Need to find the articles I used to read of cases where organ transplants have been reported to alter tastes, quirks, and sometimes even habits of receivers.

Is autoimmune disease analogous to an incel uprising? "we live in a society" but "we live inside a body"

CELLS RISE UP

:powerlevel: just enough

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I think it's interesting that mitochondria has its own DNA separate from the cells they inhabit.

Nigger I ferment and drink like two litres of kefir a day and will soon be producing artisan kimchi. The only way I could respect my microbes more is if I engineered a swarm of nanobots to give each and every probiotic in my colon tiny little handjobs

 

[wylfım]

Still in awe every time I watch this and realize that it's just the basic things a cell needs to do to move around

Biology is fucking insane.

The part pictured in the thumbnail where something is being dragged along a microtubulen is the part of the video I find particularly mindblowing. Also the ribosomes attaching themselves to the rough ER and shooting out some proteins. These processes are awesome to watch in action

Your username doesn't contain nearly enough random numbers and characters for this sort of talk. Also you spelled off wrong.

So if God gave us the cells, what are we before that? Isn't the very matter that would be involved in the thanking the cells we were given?

Also, why would an all knowing, all powerful, and all present being require being thanked. He knew before he did it what would happen, so effectively thanking him would be him thanking himself.

To that I say, "No Thanks".

What I find kind of amusing is Hitler's personal physician was a quack who thought intestinal fauna was the key to human health.

I mean, Dr. Morell was a quack, but it's hilarious that his quackery was based on what's now cutting edge therapy.

Hell yea! Theyre fascinating and helpful little lads
