Ooo, it sounds very interesting! Can you tell me some fun facts about canninalism! Maybe more historical facts about cannibalism? (Different anon)

hmmm okay what about autocannibalism? which is the act of consuming oneself. technically everyone does it as a result of consuming dead cells from your tongue and cheeks, but fingernail biting is also actually classed as a form of autocannibalism! there are also rarer cases of people choosing to consume their own flesh and blood by choice (the most common being choosing to eat the placenta after pregnancy, which some 'alternative health' influencer types encourage but appears to have no particular health benefits) and historical accounts of forced autocannibalism as a form of torture.

fun fact: the ouroboros is a symbolic example of autocannibalism!
