So what would happen if you poked it too hard and this piece of your history came undone? What would happen to your organs? Would you constantly be leaking fluid? What's the function of the umbilical cord? How dangerous is umbilical hernia?

Can't imagine the feelings of the person who had to search for and edit the clips in this video

This was our thoughts when we were kids and now it's real .... Sounds funny yet nostalgic

What if some people just left the umbilical cord and ended up with a Longie.

I didn't even know that you could untie your belly button, I have never even thought about it... You learn something new every day.

Anyone else saw the "What if you fell into lake kivu" notification before this one?

It got deleted?

[Note-hydv]

What if people all around the world synchronized breathing?

[Humor-ks]

I haven’t even thought about it that’s genius

[robinhodson]

Bear in mind though, that the blood vessels which once made up your umbilicus, quickly reroute after birth, leaving only a weak spot in the muscles of your abdominal wall and some odd structures which end up as skin, so you'd at most have an untidy patch of skin, or a temporary wound.

Interesting! I’ve always wondered why when I touch my belly button I feel like I need to tinkle! 😆
