In that case, what are we?

Meat suits hung onto skeleton hangers, obvi.

Or even more foundationally, proteins doing things with fatty membranes.

The bones and limbs are just bonuses to move our meat vehicle. But they're not required.

@Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world and @rockerface@lemm.ee

We are beings of electric patterns, with our thoughts riding our brains the way the brain rides the body, and it begs us to wonder then: what rides us in like manner - memes & TV commercials? :-P
