@ProfessorProteus@_haha_oh_wow_ Given that there’s a finite number of carbon atoms & water molecules etc on the planet (setting aside the stuff that arrives on meteorites etc), there’s no doubt that in your body, & almost certainly in the steak or salad or whatever you’re eating, there’ll be some molecules that were inside a few dinosaurs, & quite possibly passed through the guts of one & of various other animals too (from the Hadean to a few days ago) at some point.
I’d say no, because the microplastics aren’t really a part of our DNA. But that’s just my definition.
I think we could say that we all have dinosaurs inside us, just like our pesky skeletons.
But aren’t like 50% of cells in your body bacteria? I’d say those are considered part of you. But I get what you are saying.
Does it need to be part of your DNA?
If I weigh 99 Kg, and I eat 1 Kg of ravioli, I am 1% ravioli.
Like I said, it’s just the way I feel about it. Yours is a compelling argument though, and honestly more fun!
no, you’d be 69% ravioli
