The umbilical cord is the connection to the beach. Kojima did it.
Finding bacteria new to science is like finding a shape of rock new to science.
What if we 👉👈
What if we explored our belly buttons? 👉👈
You might not like what you find.
…Sauce? 🤤
Found the article. (or at least it seems to be, given it studies “60 samples of belly buttons” and finds “2368 phylotypes of bacteria”. I don’t see anything in this study about “1458 bacteria completely new to science” or anything about the Japanese soil thing.
It’s entirely possible I’m looking at the wrong study, but generally, it’s a safe assumption that the source for memes like this is a half-remembered telephone game at best.
The belly button is one of the habitats closest to us, and yet it remains relatively unexplored.
Gripped from the first sentence
I think this article is the source: The Atlantic (archived)
But there’s no oil from Japan, only bacteria found in soil from Japan.
Edit: the website from the research team is still up.
Oh, I meant the euphemism for turning belly button oil into sauce 😂😂😂😂
I appreciate your commitment to the internet ❤️
Bacteria aren’t classified as species for a reason, discovering new kind isn’t terribly remarkable.
I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that “bacteria aren’t claasified as species”.
They definitely, definitely are. That “coli” in “E. coli” is its specific name.
Streptococcus mutans, for example, the oral bacteria that metabolizes sugar into lactic acid causing dental carries, is kingdom Bacillati, phylum Bacillota, class Bacilli, order Lactobacillales, family Streptococcaceae, and then obviously genus Streptococcus and species S. mutans.
I’m partial to chipotle honey garlic
I’ve been really vibing heavy on grilled tomatillo/avo/poblano blended w sofrito and oil
Personally I like good ol’ melted chocolate to go with my belly buttons.
One of divine class, I see you hedonismbot
Peanutbutter and garlic mix!
This has my interests peaked 👀👀
Sounds like a job for the naval criminal investigative service
I got holes if they got interest
Man, I never get to use ‘omphaloskepsizing’ in a sentence, and then this post comes along to brighten my day.
now what about the source?
Someone’s been bumping bellybuttons
