If your body healed as fast as your tongue you would starve to death.
Can you elaborate please?
I’m not sure how they got to that conclusion, but we can kinda guess.
The tongue is PACKED with blood vessels, so in case of any damage it can get tons of nutrients to fix itself. But this takes a very energy-intensive.
So if the rest of the body would have the same density of blood vessels, we’d need drastically more energy to feed all of that.
And I guess they’re asserting that all else being the same we wouldn’t be able to ingest or process sufficient food to keep that going.
It’s a bit of a strange argument though, I’m going far outside of my physiology understanding, but you’d have to imagine that had we evolved such advanced healing capabilities, we’d have also evolved the means to feed them. And OP underestimates just how much food someone can eat. As someone dealing with an ED, I can tell you that you can easily triple your calorie intake (though whether that’s sufficient I wouldn’t be able to say…).
All in I’d look forward to OP defending their assertion.
I asked ChatGPT, because everyone knows it is a source of reliable and not hallucinated information.
The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself, but the rate of healing can vary depending on the type of tissue and the extent of the injury. While it is true that the tongue, due to its rich blood supply, has a relatively fast healing process compared to other parts of the body, it doesn’t mean that the entire body would be unable to maintain its energy if it healed at the same rapid rate.
The healing process requires energy and resources, including nutrients, oxygen, and metabolic activity. When a specific area of the body is injured, the body redirects resources to that area to facilitate the healing process. In the case of the tongue, the abundant blood supply helps deliver these resources efficiently, allowing for a faster healing time.
If the entire body were to heal rapidly at the same pace as the tongue, it would require a significant amount of energy and resources. However, the body is highly adaptive and has complex systems in place to regulate energy usage and resource allocation. It prioritizes healing based on the severity and urgency of injuries, allowing for a balanced distribution of resources throughout the body.
It’s important to note that healing rates can vary based on factors such as the type of tissue, the extent of the injury, individual health conditions, and other variables. While the tongue may heal relatively quickly, other parts of the body have their own healing mechanisms suited to their specific functions and requirements.
Overall, the human body is designed to efficiently manage healing processes while maintaining energy balance and overall health.

oh, god… its more human than I realized. :(
Your car keys have better range if you press them to your head, since your skull will act as an antenna. It sounds like some made up pseudoscience that would never work in practice or have a negligible effect, but it actually works.
Edit: idk if it’s actually because your skull acts as an antenna, although that’s what I’ve heard. I looked it up and it seems like it’s your head acting as a reasonance chamber. Since your body is conductive, your head can bounce and amplify the radio signal.

How?
The tinfoil hat you’re wearing amplifies the signal!
