Do you have long canine teeth, like a dog, car, bear, or any animal that eats meat?

Do we have large incisors and visibly separate molars, like a cow, squirrel, deer, or most other herbivores (well, I know deer at least will eat meat, but we'll set that aside for now)? What about chimps and gorillas, hippos, or pandas? They all have long canines, does this make them carnivores?

Can you eat meat raw without worrying about getting sick?

The sushi card feels a little overplayed; how about a blue rare steak or steak tartare?

Are your intestines short like a meat eater (since they have to pass rotting meat through quickly) or long like an herbivore (that needs more length to process vegetables)

Our intestines are notably smaller than chimps and gorillas (as a percentage of body volume), with much of that going into the small intestine, indicating that humans are likely more carnivorous than our closest animal relatives.
