Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

When fish have nicer teeth than me.

Have you tried a freshwater diet?

What kind of people have teeth that look exactly like this? That's nuts.

It's the "Innsmouth Look"

The front row ones look more similar to our teeth than an apes, so that is pretty crazy to me.

The food that can chew you back.

What in the everloving fuck is that?? Nightmare fuel 😨

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

A partially eaten cooked Pacu fish.

They evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water

Ok well, I'm never swimming again.

If you wade or jump in, you'll be fine.

If your junk is dry, the fish can't get to it

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

I too have three rows of teeth.

When I wake up screaming at 2 am, this right here, this is why.

Can we use them for transplants?

Is this an example of convergent evolution?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey it is! Kinda. I Think.

But why are human teeth shaped like this in the front? Not so much for nuts, right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

I thought the same thing so I looked into it! The pacu fish's front teeth aren't flat like ours. They're more like our molars, which serve the same purpose of being used for crushing (so it technically still is convergent evolution)

Sounds like propaganda from Big Almond.

Is this some Midwest Big Apple?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

No, that's the Big Onion.

Are you suggesting people are evolutionarily suited to gobbling nuts?

There's another marine fish that also has these kind of teeth -- look up Sheepshead fish!

Can I harvest teeth from this fish to replace the one I'm missing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Just grow them back

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

When the Japanese finally get their teeth generation DNA therapy going, everyone will be after these fish for starter scaffolds.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would you kiss that mouth?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Depends how many drinks I’ve had.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Suddenly caralho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Is that what my teeth suppose to look like?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ahktually, they're related to piranhas and are omnivorous.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

If I went into an aquarium to find these fuckers cheesing at me I'd have to take mushrooms to cope. Thank fuck we have AI and this shits on a screen, I can sleep another day
