I thought so too. Until I became a first-time uncle at age 16.
I’ve seen an accurate reflection of my face, and you can too. There are mirrors that will reverse a reflection so it’s not a “mirror image”, and it’s easy to construct a simple one. Just take two plain flat mirrors, and stand them upright at right angles to each other so they meet at a 90º corner. Then look into that mirror near that corner. You’ll see your face as others see you.

Naah, they were 300 years late.
I don’t know about “almost entirely” - quite a lot of the mass of a tree ( 20-30%) can be leaves and roots, both of which are mostly living cells.
You’re surrounded by bacteria that are waiting for you to die. As soon as you die, they’ll swoop in.
Almost all adults has mites living in their face hairs. Yes, you, too. They’re there, right now, sitting in your eyelash and eyebrow follicles.
Hi!
Is there anything living in its follicles? ICK!
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

The original was by Jonathan Swift:
The Vermin only teaze and pinch
Their Foes superior by an Inch.
So, Nat’ralists observe, a Flea
Hath smaller Fleas that on him prey,
And these have smaller yet to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum:
Thus ev’ry Poet, in his Kind
Is bit by him that comes behind
Maybe if you live in 1800. Looking in a mirror is not the only way to see your face. We’ve had cameras for quite a spell now. And currently, we could see them live and flip the image as we want to.

I agree. Edible even when not cooked.
Surrounded by? More like composed of. There are more non-human cells in your body than human cells (though some of the human ones are much larger) and you would be much less healthy (probably dead) if you got rid of all the guests.
The Earth’s surface is about 70% water. Non-carbonated water.
So yes, technically, the Earth is (mostly) flat.
Looking in a mirror is not seeing your face, and neither is looking at a video display.
Ah – because Moriarty asterisked the bit about seeing your reflection and your features being reversed, I misunderstood the reversal part as the salient point. So my post then is a rebuttal to the asterisked fact of “because you’ve only seen a reflection”, but not what I see now as the actual intent of the original thought, which I guess is that you’ve never seen your actual, physical face, only representations of it. So pretend I just quoted the asterisked bit.
Definitely dead, as your digestive system would totally collapse.
Thanks for this. Interesting. And although we are deluged with endless rants and trivial shock and schlock, we really don’t get enough “counterblastes” these days. A shame.
Who left the cap off, goddammit?
Yes that makes you look fat.
or , to ramp it up a bit…
No, THAT doesn’t make you look fat, you ARE fat.
Oh my. I had a couple actor friends (and they even made me get on stage once, I was literally a spearcarrier (Roman soldier)with one line ) and the work they go through before it starts is amazing. All their lines must be committed to memory. They have to do rehearsal after rehearsal. They have to be fitted to costume and subjected to make up.

According to a family story, my Great Aunt and Great Grandmother were the first two women to do the Oregon trail by themselves (in a wagon train, but without a husband, brother, etc). I am slightly doubtful about that “first” part, but they certainly did so.
I think the thrust of that statement was not that actors don’t work, but they work by pretending to be someone else.
