When you go to the zoo, you are breathing the DNA of the animals inside it

Right? And it’s funny, these kind of factoids are usually shared with an air of “omg! isn’t that gross?” But it doesn’t disturb me at all. That’s just the universe: all these little bits of everything wafting around. We’re constantly in a state of disintegration and regeneration, because it all wants to go back to pieces. That life exists and has found a way to keep a recognizable form in place for more than a few days is just utterly wondrous. :smiley:
