The water in whatever you're drinking today was once dinosaur urine. You gotta make peace with that sooner or later.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You gotta make ~~peace~~pees with that sooner or later.
FTFY.
Its 100%. Every person to ever existed has been made with atoms that once made up a dick, datebayo
Had to have been at least one generation that at least had never once been part of any human dicks depending on at what point you drew a line and decided people were officially homo sapiens
More importantly, our dicks are made of exploding stars
Our dicks, our vaginas, our boobs, your beautiful eyes, everything is star stuff.
Aww you think my eyes are beautiful? Not as beautiful as yours!
Well, if you were a pussy you wouldn't have asked this question 👍
OP is horny lol
Posted a bunch of "hot men from other countries" comments and then this... 🤣
You? 100%.
It's close to certain. We actually did a calculation in HS physics class, "how many atoms of Cleopatra are in each of us?". This is similar but multiply by many thousands.
But at this point you’re basically dealing with homeopathy, at one time I feel like this or the dick atoms was a lot more likely but 60%+ of humans who have ever existed exist right now. So the amount of dick atoms ever in relation to atoms in humans total is actually very skewed away from having dick atoms.
We're all just borrowing recycled particles for a little while, before making them available for others, in future. Just that man started messing with that traditional equation when he came up with burials, and later coffins.
Not just that, but our living bodies are composed of something like ~50% bacteria and other organisms, and with mites living in our pores, eyelashes, etc. Fun stuff to think about, eh? :D

Wish I could just tap out and pass control over to them for a while, sometimes. "Here, you guys have fun, I'll see you in 8 hours."
Fun concept. Related to that, I understand that our gut bacteria have some actual influence on how our brains operate.
Truly, shit for brains.
Well it's all 'shit' from the moment we start eating, if that's your metric.
Probably pretty high,you are a dick!
People that can actually approximately calculate it probably won't do it. But, as far as I know, then the smaller amount of atoms we take in a sample group of your body, the higher possibility that they were a part of someone's else body. Thus saying, 1 or 2 random atoms of your body certainly were someone's organ before. And if we will consider absolutely any creature that could have had a specified organ, then the probability rises even more.
Depends, a human penis or any penis.
In regards to the second part, I'd point out that earth isnt a closed system, and small amounts of new matter are constantly ending up on earth. Think things like meteors (if i remember correctly, a few dozen tons of them fall on earth daily) the very thin traces of gas in space (it's not a actually a perfect vacuum) and certain types of cosmic radiation that happen to consist of atoms. As such, I'd imagine it's unlikely we'd ever get every atom on earth having once been part of one.
