Careful messing around with your belly button, if you undo the knot inside your bottom will fall off.
Finding bacteria new to science is like finding a shape of rock new to science.
The umbilical cord is the connection to the beach. Kojima did it.

I chose the wrong career
Should have joined the Navel Inspector General
Won't get me to say that abbreviation out loud.
Only members of the Navel Inspector General Guild of Assistants and Secretaries get to say it.
I hate that I laughed. Goddamnit.
What if we ๐๐
What if we explored our belly buttons? ๐๐
You might not like what you find.
But maybe I will like what I find?
Only one way to find out.
โฆSauce? ๐คค
Found the article. (or at least it seems to be, given it studies "60 samples of belly buttons" and finds "2368 phylotypes of bacteria". I don't see anything in this study about "1458 bacteria completely new to science" or anything about the Japanese soil thing.
It's entirely possible I'm looking at the wrong study, but generally, it's a safe assumption that the source for memes like this is a half-remembered telephone game at best.
The belly button is one of the habitats closest to us, and yet it remains relatively unexplored.
Gripped from the first sentence
I think this article is the source: The Atlantic (archived)
But there's no oil from Japan, only bacteria found in soil from Japan.
Edit: the website from the research team is still up.
Oh, I meant the euphemism for turning belly button oil into sauce ๐๐๐๐
I appreciate your commitment to the internet โค๏ธ
I'm partial to chipotle honey garlic
Iโve been really vibing heavy on grilled tomatillo/avo/poblano blended w sofrito and oil
Personally I like good ol' melted chocolate to go with my belly buttons.
One of divine class, I see you hedonismbot
Peanutbutter and garlic mix!
This has my interests peaked ๐๐
As a lawful good, can someone please organize this?
it is, by flavor.
Sounds like a job for the naval criminal investigative service

I got holes if they got interest
Man, I never get to use 'omphaloskepsizing' in a sentence, and then this post comes along to brighten my day.
now what about the source?
Someone's been bumping bellybuttons
