Dissecting is often misinterpreted to only include animals in your grade 10 biology class when in fact it can branch across a variety of genres.
In this collection of dreary dissections there are investigations into celebrity imagery, stuffed animal composition and even a girl who changed her name to "Cutoutdissection.com" (not even kidding, it’s to save animals). We're stripping it down to the core with these 12 dreary dissections.
Implications - For those who are always positive, these dissections may just be the way to bring them down to Earth. Check out the dreariness for yourself and you will either be inspired to be more or less negative.
