unfair we can’t have smooth, holeless abdomens too.
Gonna throw this upfront: Don’t image search this unless you’re prepared to see some seriously mutilated babies on the brink of, or in some cases shortly after their death. This is close to the top of the worst NSFL shit on the internet.
Anyway, gastroschesis. Birth defect in which the intestines are outside of the body at birth. The fix is to basically cut a new hole and shove them back in, with the resulting wound being kinda at the doctor’s / parent’s discretion: they can immitate a natural belly button, or just say fuck it and give it a clean closure line, the resulting scar from which can heal with virtually no visible scar tissue. I think it’s more common for there to be -some- disfigurement from the scarring, but babies have fucking super powers when it comes to healing, and a wound that would give you or me a ropy, nasty scar, would look like a little scratch on them.
So, not quite smooth/holeless in the way you’re probably thinking, but potentially not far off from it - all you need to do is be born with a condition that’s likely to kill you!
Oh, I had no idea it was that high! I had ~50% on my brain. That’s pretty incredible looking at some of these - crazy portions of their abdominal contents are just hanging out.
My niece had this! Her parents elected to leave her without a belly button and, yep, no visible scar tissue :). Pretty incredible, given how dire things looked when she was born.
If we could combine that with drinking wine or beer and playing cards, I’d be interested. Oh, and of course, don’t take it seriously because that would kill all the fun.
eh, if aliens ever produce lab-grown humans, i think there’s a 99.9% chance they’ll have belly buttons too, guessing that they’re growing them in artificial wombs where the baby makes an umbilical cord.
i mean why would you do it any other way? maybe an infusion directly into the arm or sth …
right? the umbilical system is frankly so useful and well designed that it’s one of the few things you can’t use as evidence against god creating us. It actually looks like some thought was put into the design.
The anime’s Dr. Slump main character, who is a robot girl, has the same issue. I think it was brought up just in one episode and the Dr. fixed it afterwads.

usually indicate they are clones.
Moebius’ the Incal has it too, clones of John Difool detects him as the “cloning father” because he has a belly button.

On the bright side - 95% survival rate.
Thanks for sharing, was a strange read, but made me fear less essentially.

There is a religious debate in the Talmud if Adam had a belly button
If Adam had one and he was made in the image of god, would that mean that god had one as well? And that god therefore had a mother?
Exactly these kinds of questions

lots and lots of biological systems are very well made
Sure, like the left recurrent laryngeal nerve that goes from the brain, down the neck and loops around the aorta, then goes back up again!

Apparently, when plastic surgeons do tummy tucks, they sometimes have to “drill” out a new navel.

So you’re saying your scars decorate you?
Yes
I do not need to correct everyone who tries to misunderstand me. Keep your wrinkled opinion if it makes you happy.
I didn’t mean to insult you or anything but just make a joke
Seems like a reasonable place to attach the electrodes tho
