Then explain this photograph.
I’m not inside my skin. I am my skin.
They have nerves throughout their shells and can feel even gentle touch.
Yeah? Then explain this, mister '''''''scientist'''''''
So my head is not “inside” my skull but *is* my skull? Is the brain not a part of my head?
What part of you makes you? Is it just your brain?
Anyway, I think what they’re getting at is that the shell is actually their spine, not like some extra thing that grows on top of their spine.
Most ppl think they have a skeleton inside them. But If you think of you as your brain (as many would day). Then your actually inside your skeleton.
I get what they try to say. But it’s just funny that they correct a statement with another wrong statement.
What part of the second statement is wrong? A turtle cannot survive without its shell, just like you could not survive without your skull. It is an intrinsic part of what allows it to function as a living organism, therefore the line between “turtle” and “shell” is a bit blurred
Can you put any external part of yourself inside your skull? That’s the difference.
Ooo, good point. But is it moving an internal part outside the skull? What’s the default location of a tongue?? I’m lost in the science!
I think the right analogy would be to say “you are not inside your skull, you are your skull”. And I would count this as a more or less correct statement.
