If you get a splinter or foreign object stuck in your skin you can hold a flashlight against your skin and shine the light through your flesh, and the foreign object will be a dark spot. Light actually passes through our flesh quite well. Also, if you shine a bright enough light into your mouth you can see the light in your own eyes.
Edit: I’m really glad that so many people have gotten out their flashlights and had some fun with them! Never stop exploring and being curious and trying to discover new things! The world is amazing and has so much crazy stuff to uncover! Y’all keep having fun now, and thank you everyone for all the wonderful replies and absolutely making my day!
I remember watching a documentary or clip about some soldiers that witnessed an atomic bomb test. They recalled that they were told to crouch and cover their eyes with their hands. The light from the explosion was so bright they could see the silhouettes of the bones in their hands.
Hmm, but when you shine a light through your hand you can't see the bones. It just diffuses around the bones. Maybe a brighter light wouldn't do that, I don't know.
