However there are more gut bacteria inside of you than there are cells of yourself

That's a debunked myth. The number of human cells and gut bacteria is about the same which is still astonishing. If you ask me to, I can look up the YouTube video I've learned it from

Yes, please, would you share that video? It sounds as fascinating as your reply is delightful!

That was interesting and fun, thanks. And also sad, it made me think of Aaron Schwartz. And sus, maybe because I'm too attracted to some common knowledge. ;-)

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble.
