35 Cool Human Body Things, As Shared By The People In This Online Thread
The human body is truly amazing. Did you know that when we're born, we have around 300 bones, yet by the time we grow up, some of them fuse together and we're left with only about 206? What's more, human bones are incredibly strong. You may have heard that they're stronger than steel, but did you know a block of bone the size of a matchbox can support up to 18,000 pounds of weight?
Perhaps you knew these facts; perhaps you didn't. That doesn't change the fact that our bodies can do stuff that is pretty darn impressive. Recently, people named a few more of these facts in an online thread after one netizen asked, "What is the coolest thing that the human body does?"
So, scroll down and see what other remarkable things your body is capable of – perhaps some of them will be new to you?

I have so many dreams about homes! They are always huge, with rooms I keep discovering. Many have similar features from previously dreamed homes. There are often guests or parties I was not aware I was supposed to be hosting. The dreams are so complex I don't know what to make of them. Most of my dreams are very explainable because of recent info or emotions. Or typical, like showing up to class unprepared. But these home dreams are fascinating to me!

I have epilepsy and the way minor fits manifest themselves is I get brief "flashbacks" to dreams I've had. If the fits get bigger then eventually it's like I go backwards into the dream and at that point I "pass out". When I was being diagnosed I had to talk to various doctors and several of them called other doctors and even students into the room (with my permission) and asked me to repeat the description of my symptoms - presumably because it was a bit odd, but who knows!

Most mammals anyway; echidna & platypus both lay eggs. There are some fish & reptile species that have live birth as well. Interestingly, some reptiles & sharks (such as the western garter snake, cottonmouth, and great white shark) are what's called "ovoviviparous" which means the young develop in and hatch from eggs *while still inside the mother's body,* after which she gives birth to live babies. How cool is that??

Creating life.
**Breast milk** is also mind blowing. When a baby latches on, the mom's body "reads" the baby's needs from the baby's saliva (through pheromones and stuff) and produces the milk the baby needs!
Breast milk does not have the same composition throughout all the months a baby eats it, because the baby's needs change. Breast milk from two moms who have babies of the same age will also not have the same composition.
If a baby catches a cold or gets sick, the mom's body will produce milk that helps the baby heal.
Breast milk is the most personalized food that exists. 😁.

I've always found the ability to stand upright pretty wild. We're relatively tall and top-heavy and our feet aren't very big. The amount of brain processing required to keep that shape upright, let alone do something like dancing or ice skating, just seems insane to me. Your brain is doing countless little micro-adjustments constantly whenever you're standing, and yet it feels completely effortless.

That they say the brain literally remembers bits of every face, every place and every sound you've ever seen or heard, be it in real life, on TV, movies, radio, whatever, and a lot of those bits are combined to make up "dreams."

WindySwede: I've read that we've got vision which is incredibly well optimised for our needs. Apparently, our highest resolution vision beats most other animals except birds of prey. No UV or IR sensitivity, poor in the dark compared to many - all that is true. But we're damned good at fine details both close up and far away - and many other mammals only have two colour vision, not our three colour setup.

Heal, 100%. I broke my Ulna (left arm bone) in April. 2 nights in hospital (in Thailand, alone, with no Thai). Surgery, 13 stitches, 2 screws. I am 63F, 52kgs, 163cms. Thought it was going to be a long road to get better. In a month with strict rehab (at home, following instructions), I was 50% back to full movement, gym workouts and pool swims (50m x 18 laps - just couldn’t pull myself out on the pool ladder, so had to use the pool with the steps in and out). 3.5 months later, I would never have known I broke my arm. Our bodies are amazing.

The Placebo Effect.
It's not just "thinking you feel better." Your brain, through pure belief, can create real, measurable, physiological changes in your body.
If you believe a sugar pill is a powerful painkiller, your brain can actually release its own natural opioids (endorphins) to reduce your pain. Your brain can reduce inflammation, lower your heart rate, and ease depression, all because it was tricked into thinking it was getting help.
It's literal mind-over-matter. The fact that our consciousness can directly influence our own biology on that level is, to me, the most powerful and coolest thing a human body can do.
It also has an evil twin: the Nocebo Effect, where believing something will harm you can actually cause negative symptoms.

One of the most amazing things about the human body is the brain’s neuroplasticity. Even as adults, our brains are capable of forming new neural connections, adapting to change, and learning new things. This means that we are constantly changing and growing, regardless of our age or circumstances. This flexibility of the nervous system is a unique trait that sets us apart from many other species.

Sweat. It's fairly unique to humans, at least to the degree we're able to regulate our temperature. This, along with bipedalism, is what makes us the greatest endurance hunters in the animal kingdom.

When someone uses their ex's name instead of the new partner's name, it is because the brain is associating the new partner with the old feelings. But the pattern of those feelings is stored in the brain with the ex's name still, so it gets used instead of the new one.

Skin does a lot of cool stuff. Sweating is actually goated, and rare for animals. It gave us an edge as a predator, being able to chase prey for long distances without overheating. Also the wrinkles that form on your fingers when you’re in water for too long are to increase friction, so you can handle stuff in wet conditions without it slipping as much.
Lady Eowyn 4 months ago
Horses sweat through their skin. Dogs sweat through their paws. Lots of animals sweat, it isn't rare. The wrinkling of skin in water is primarily caused by vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels in the skin. This physiological response is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and is triggered by the body's detection of moisture.
