When you rub a crayon on the paper, where does the crayon go?

You’re the crayon.

Imagine taking a knife and slicing off a piece of skin. The skin can get stuck to the blade or fall. Well the surface that scraped you is just an innumerable amount of tiny knife blades with the pieces of you it cuts off simply getting stuck there, but it’s cut so small, you can’t see it.

One the concrete, rough surface of the nail in the stairs that ripped through my shin. Seriously, I have macro shots somewhere of the fat, hair and skin stuck to the nail.

It’s like chalk on a sidewalk only you can’t see your skin and flesh that well on the sidewalk.

r/meatcrayon will be a good visual representation of what happens.

Its basically like what happens to wood when you sand it with sandpaper. The wood fibres stay in the sandpaper much like your skin and muscle and bone stays in the sandpaper (asphalt)

If you hit it or scrape against it with enough force, you will see it on the concrete, and the rest will be folded over on itself. It’s almost like a sock that gets bunched up around your ankle.

First hand experience:

The answer. After a moped wreck my parents went back to look for some stuff and theyve a photo of birds scrapping their nails on the pavement to get my skin off and eat it. So, that’s where it goes. Onto the pavement. And its as gross and wild as youd expect, flies, misquitos, black birds, they were having a great time!

Context: Had a moped wreck with road rash so bad they paraded students through my room to learn to check my whole body. It was so bad that when it turned out a friend of a friend was my one of those students they remembered me bc they think of me every single time they check somebody head to toe. It was so bad the students learned all the different layers of the skin and the spectrum of lacerations to just a wound. Did you know you can get road rash between your cheeks! It’s all fat that’s glad to pull back and spread. I got road rash on muscles that are involuntary. Literally even think about moving, your body tenses up for balance. Did you know you can get road rash AND THEN get “grass rash” when you slide into grass at speed and 10000 tiny pieces of paper cut you.

Well now you do.
