    No they didn’t. Bones would be on the outside as they are the innermost body part.

      Is that really it though? Humans are topologically the same as a straw, so it would be more akin to maybe turning a sock inside out, or pulling your head through your digestive tract and out your ass.

      It’d probably end up with your entire body enclosed in a big pink roundish sack, the outside being the mucous membranes that were previously the lumen of the digestive tract. It would probably break every bone in your body.

      I suppose it depends on your definition of “innermost”. If we’re talking the deepest relative to skin, then it would be as above. If we’re saying “farthest from where atmosphere can reach without puncturing anything”, then yeah I guess it would be the skeleton. The anatomical definition is definitely the former, though.

        I mean, I get where you’re coming from. But if you’re looking at this from a topological standpoint, I can only point you towards the Vsauce video:

        In which case we’re well within the realm of assumptions, because it really depends on perspective how many holes we have.

        I prefer the bone interpretation, at least for limbs, because inside out doesn’t necessarily imply the “action of turning inside out” is necessary. So we can just have the straw swap inner and outer positions. That’s how I’d see it, meaning… Bone.
