      What do you mean “almost”?

          Part of you is oxygen you inhaled.

              Most of that oxygen has been around I would think, but I guess some atoms would’ve come from recent micrometeorites or whatever.

              I guess, some bacteria might have made it into your body in other ways, but might still be considered part of you in the wider sense…?

                  Plus there’s all those microplastics mixed in there.

                      Those were also arguably food at some point

                            Ah yeah, my comment was caveated as such, because I assumed those bacteria to have mostly gotten there via food. Then again, no idea if any even survive going through the stomach acid…

                          Bacteria, air inside you, implants/prostetics. Essentially just a smartass shield.

                              You hear it as a joke when you’re young, but it’s not til you’re old that you realize “you are what you eat” is literal.

                                  Literally all of you was either food/drink or oxygen from the air at some point—whether it was consumed by you or by your mother.

The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
