5. Bend over and I’ll show you

6. The human anus can open 7”, a racoon is 4”, therefore you can fit almost two raccoons in your anus. Heard this from my 17yo daughter. Apparently THIS is what they’re using the interwebs for nowadays.🙄

7. I’m about to drop some weird shit.

   The inside of your cheek is made of the same tissue as the inside of the vagina.

   Humans are deuterostomes, meaning that the hole that became your mouth formed after the hole that became your anus. There was a point in your development where you were basically just an asshole. And some of you still are.

   There’s a muscle covering the testicles called cremaster muscle (we all know what it sounds like), women also have this muscle but it doesn’t do anything for them. There’s also a cremasteric reflex that can be initiated from stroking the back of a man’s thigh. The ball on the side of whatever thigh you stroked should rise if you do it right.

   Some people can voluntarily move their tensor tympani muscle, which is located in the middle ear. This creates a sound, much like thunder, that only they can hear. I have this ability and while useless, it’s kinda fun. If you can rumble your ears, then we’re ear-rumbling kin.

   That the brain itself cannot feel pain.
