It has got to the point where those of us who tend to follow science are left confused and demoralised, like someone running their first 26.2-mile marathon only to learn that there are only a few miles to go. Imagine the toll on people who already tend to distrust experts when it comes to knowing how to vaccinate or not.
If we are to Mars, which has a thin atmosphere and less hospitable environment and no evidence of running water and contaminate it with our literal shits, it is difficult to answer that question. This is even more difficult when we get to Mars and we can't go anywhere and all our faeces are gone. If our microbes from Earth find favor with the planet and spread, there is no way to undo that.
Bacterial spores of dormant bacteria that form a protective outer shell in the Arctic can be revived after thousands of years in the ice. It would be fascinating if fecal spores could be revived decades later on the moon. This lesson is interesting because microbiology estimates the extreme limits of microbial life, and it would be invaluable for a trip to Mars.
This may seem like a mere prologue to what makes a child artist today, but it nears maturity and opens up his obsession with bodily fluids and residues, especially shit.
The link between anxiety and involuntary defecation gives rise to an expression dating back to 14c in English. The only constant connotation is that shit brings with it a speaker who has a certain emotional intensity to the speaker. A lot of slang is used, which means lying, teasing and disrespect .
The exclamation "holy shit" derives its strength from the juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane. The phrase "I don't give a shit" is sometimes used for someone who doesn't care, a passive attitude in which it means indifference. The term "shit-talk" means boasting or exaggeration; shit-talk means gossiping in a harmful way or boasting about things of a misguided nature, as in the construction above, where "shit" acts as a heckler.
Other personal words like "eat my shit" can be added to imply a more personal connotation. "You don't have to polish my shit" is a popular aphorism, which is the equivalent of "lipstick on my pig," which can also be used.
The Corn ShitNo explanation necessarily. The Lincoln Log ShitThe kind of shlit that is so huge that you're afraid to flush it down with your toilet brush without crushing it into small pieces. The Nororius Drinker ShitThe shit you have in the morning after a long night of drinking. In the end you put toilet paper on your aorta and underwear so that you don't ruin it with a terrible slide and then a second wave of shit happens and you end up with your pants on your knees and realize that you have to hit even more. The brain stroke where the nose shits and knows how to burst a vein in your forehead and shit.
