A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not that incredible, considering we can get cysts full of teeth and hair inside the body
How do I unread this
Oh yes, teratomes are not fun. But thankfully they are comparably rare.
Imagine if you suddenly sprouted a tumor with functional tastebuds in your colon
"So what brings you into the doctors office today?"
"Well for some reason everything I eat ends up tasting like shit."
Ugh and I thought burping after having Fish Oil pills was bad…
Wonder if we could use that phenomena to regenerate teeth in a lab for replacements and dentures.
Probably no different than stem cell stuff
