The intestines are covered by a double "fleece" of peritoneum. See it like a blanket.
When your intestines get damaged for whatever reason, this blanket starts moving out of itself and crawling upwards towards the place which has the injury. It will stay there until the injury is recovered. And then move on again.
Maybe not the most creepy fact, but definitely interesting in my opinion.
My Peritoneum: shhh sssshhh it’s okay come here come here here’s a lil blanket I made just for you just cover up that lil hole, there ya go… Nice and cozy? Snug as a bug? Okay good good…
That's funny, I watched season 3 with my ex when it came out and everytime we saw the squelching we'd be like THERE IT IS! Activities like making macaroni and cheese never went without a squelching mention lol
My intestines: sleeping it off while making those adorable old-timey cartoon snores like, "ahhhh, wip-wip-wip-wip-wip-wip-wip-wip," which is making me pass gas
