It's fascinating to see two people walking down the street and just how different each individual part of their bodies can be.

It's also easy to be fascinated by our own bodies.

Even though we spend every waking moment in them, every now and then it's hard not to wonder why certain parts of us are the way they are, or admire how other parts of us function.

Redditor Few-Description-9124 was curious to learn what parts of their bodies people admired the most, leading them to ask:
