      The movements between Remy and the human were involuntary and instantaneous, I think we must assume they’re all quantumly entangled.

    Fun fact, there is almost a hundred percent chance that Demodex mites live on the skin of your head and face at this very moment.

    The burrow into our follicles and live on the oils we excrete. They come out at night to mate. On our faces.

    They are microscopic and mostly harmless though.

      I’ve been dealing with dry eye and they’ve gone a little crazy on my eyes. My eye doctor actually had to give me eye drops to clear them up a bit

      The little crusties you get when you sleep. Got so bad that I couldn’t open my eyes in the morning

      Since taking eye drops to clear out the demodex and doing a bunch of eye hygiene, I now have almost no crusties in the morning

    Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum

    I appreciate this as a science meme because it reflects the recursive problem with homoculi.

      It’s very nice to find someone else who is deeply concerned about the problem of recursive homunculi.

      Why is no one else talking about this? Can’t they see the danger we are all in?
