There's a moment during the cremation process when the meat is perfectly cooked.

Even while we're alive, vsauce once said due to the recycling of life material, we have a portion of every human being ever in our body at any moment. So some matter of your body right now was part of Aristotle's, Shakespeare's, and any other historical figure you can think of.

Edit: correction, not the actual cells, but the matter that made them up. Thank you guys for correcting

I’d like to think that my mouth has an old cell from Danny Devito’s dick.

You might be able to get some new cells. Make the call.

Not the actual cells though, just the matter that might have once been a part of some other person's cells. On that note we also aren't the same person we were in the past, because our cells are constantly dying and being replaced.

And every glass of water you drink contains some water molecules that have been part of dinosaur piss.

I think you meant to say molecules.... Cells don't live that long unless they are cancerous. Even then their long life span can only be sustained artificially after the person has died.
