I’m considering the hovertext and I consider the pounds of bacteria in me to be Me. How are we dividing this out?

Do the bacteria in you consider you to be one of them, or are you just a cruise ship?

I do have a few swimming pools

I did some low-effort Googling and now I’m seeing that maybe some sea critters like krill have the highest non-bacteria biomass.
Either way, none of these are beetles!

But biomass shouldn’t be relevant here, right? Individual numbers determine how many friends you might potentially have.

The takeaway message: to maximize your number of potential friends, focus on making invertebrate friends and don’t bother with the few billion humans ;)

The world truly belongs to bacteria, and we’re just along for the ride.
