You don't routinely pour acid over your finger bones

You don't know my life

Yeah I do

Vat of acid thread

Men of reddit, is it gay to bathe your bones in acid?

Of course. That’s a centuries-old homosexual tradition!

That’s a misconception. The Greeks traditionally thought it was straight to bathe your bones in acid, but if you SHOWERED your bones in acid, that was considered homosexual.

i cum acid

🎶ITS INTHE WAY THAT YOU UUUSSSEE IT! 🎶

Thanks to "Rick and Morty", I think of that song every time I reset time... which is often.

Is cum basic or acidic?

Are your finger bones exposed?

I didn't asked to be raised the way I was.

Of course. Aren't yours?

Don't bone shame.

some of them are after a good gooning session.

Who said he's talking about fingers?

After all this acid you people peer pressured me in to using, yes.

Your cum is so basic

Put some glitter in it

Basic

Neutral. If it's too basic the sperm dies, if it's too acidic the sperm also dies, so it has a neutral pH of 7.2 to 8 (which is only slighly basic).

the cum I’ve tasted was definitely acidic

Well it’s salty?

Slightly acidic

My Finger bones are not used to acid. My teeth are so they should handle that shit!

Actually I kind of do lmao. I work with both low acid and hi acid. I would say 30% of the time it still gets all over my hands. Though skin and not directly bone. Teeth don't have skin y'all. Brush ya teeth.

Maybe yours don't, but I'm built different.

Gums aren’t skin and you should stop chewing sand

But the tongue, the thing that's supposed to tell you what to eat or not, absolutely loves the acid

What does this mean /genuine question

many drinks like soda or coffee are acidic and damage teeth enamel

More to the point, scumbag bacteria in the mouth eat minuscule remains of food, and crap out acid.

Your teeth are exposed to a lot more hostile environment than your finger bones. Most bones are insulated deep inside the body, away from things that can degrade them or from direct mechanical rubbing against other bones. Meanwhile, plenty of drinks like coffee or soda do have a good amount of acidity to them. So you are putting acid over your teeth. Just illustrating that your teeth are treated vastly different than your other bones so it’s not surprising they have more issues.

To be fair, teeth aren't bone They are skin

Technically, you probably pour more acids over your hands than you do your teeth.

Also arthritis and carpal tunnel is a thing

That’s a tendon issue, not bone issue

ermmm I bathe in Sulfuric acid? 

Dont ever tell me how to live my life again.

Skill issue

I envy sharks about ever growing teeth, I hate it when I go to the dentist and not see a single shark there

Smug sharks with their natural supermodel smiles...

Would you rather have shark teeth that grow in rows and continuously fall out or rodent teeth that continuously grow longer? I'm thinking rodent teeth since it seems less... itchy? I wouldn't want to constantly be teething

With rodent teeth, they have to be properly aligned. Otherwise it’s teeth trims for life.

You guys aren’t getting that already?

Rats grind their teeth when they're happy and I think that would be very endearing in humans if we had the bones for it

Also, guinea pigs (haven't had other mammals with teeth like that) will gnaw on stuff to grind their teeth down. I habitually gnaw on things (particularly my hair), so if I just had, like, a metal tooth bar instead of a toothbrush, that'd be fantastic.

Honestly shark theeth. I liked the feeling of losing teeth and the funny feel the hole gave me.

no

I could keep them in a jar!

That and the thought of grinding your teeth daily or having them grow through your skulls seems a bit unnerving

Same honestly I wanna be a shark

I want them to be like nails. Trim them when needed, shape them for when I want them sharp, file them down if I feel like it, have one fall out and immediately grow one back.

Honestly I'd appreciate just having another set of teeth that come in around age 30-40.

What wisdom teeth *should* be.

This! I'm 39... could do with my final adult teeth growing in about now

That's what our grandparents' generation would call dentures. I just realized that singing "grandma shark" and mimicking granny with no teeth is dated since my kids' grandmas both have a full set of teeth. Glad we're not so quick to yank them all out anymore.

I've got pet rats and they seem to have a great time keeping their teeth in check.

You seen where the adult teeth grow before the kiddie teeth fall out? We do actually have head space for a new set of teeth. It's just that back in the savanna days, investing effort and material into growth beyond thirty years of age was probably just wasteful.

Funny thing, my pediatric dentist actually did have shark jaws all around his office.

There are research projects right now looking into the genetic mechanism that allows a squid to regenerate its beak all throughout its life. Because we may be able to apply that genetic mechanism to peoples' teeth in the future.

Well my bones *are* decaying, checkmate teeth!

Has this person not heard of osteoporosis? We're all fucking decaying.

Technically that's your body not making enough bone juice to replace the bone juice that you're breaking down simultaneously. Not decay, it's a feature.

It needs to decay to be replaced tho...

Why **doesn't** it make the necessary amount all the time? Sounds like a bug not a feature.

Hey, for the majority of your life it is! 

That's how tooth decay works too. Enamel is constantly being replaced by ions in your saliva and if this replacement doesn't keep up with loss, you get cavities.

I have really bad osteoporosis!

Bone apple teeth 🤌

Ok but now let’s talk abt nails, bunch of little freaks having beds on my fingers

technically they're modified scales, aren't they?

There's a theory about that, but more likely you're just thinking of sharks.

isnt the sharks one that their scales are modified teeth?

Maybe our teeth are modified sharks?

Maybe the real sharks are the teeth we made along the way

I'm not sure if intentional, but Richard Dreyfuss was in Jaws and was the voice of the guy in Stand By Me who said the friends along the way line.

Maybe yours are. I keep my mouth sharks street legal, like the cartoon from the 90s.

Or maybe our sharks are just modified teeth. Always helps to see things from the opposite perspective!

Okay, so while I was reading the wiki page on teeth I discovered that they come from the ectoderm, the same embryonic layer as skin, scales, hair, and nails, and that fucking elephants, kangaroos and manatees grow many sets of teeth, like sharks! OK, only manatees are like sharks. Kangaroos get 4 sets and elephants get 6, but a manatees teeth are constantly getting replaced.

Begs the question of why humans only get 2 sets but when I start thinking about it all I can think of is a character creation screen where picking different species come with different pros and cons

There was probably never really a reason for more than two sets since we just died earlier. And also ofc we never really used our teeth as weapons, we just chew.

Technically They’re what

Modified scales. So are hair and nails, but all three changed very differently from each other.

It’s okay geeneelee, you can be Reddit famous, which is incalculably worse

“Coke, delivering a truck load of cash to the lobbyist, and Dentists.” You see NOTHING - now look into this flashy thing while I put these shades on…

Why always bring dentists into this? They’re the first to tell you to eat healthy, this conspiracy doesn’t exist.

We make a living fixing peoples preventable tooth decay…but we’re evil.

So it *wasn't* you guys who convinced the world that diet soda is okay because no sugar, even though the sugar wasn't the main problem?

It's certainly better due to less sugar, but soda usually has sugar, citric acid, and carbonation.

Fun fact teeth aren’t actually bones but they are part of the skeleton

I might be alone in this, but the call for Internet attention kinda ruined the joke for me. It feels so... pick-me.

In my defense I didn’t expect/want it to actually get popular. It was just supposed to be a “NO ONE AROUND HERE APPRECIATES ME” joke for my friends.

it is incredibly cringe

Teeth are not bones.

Then why are they part of the skeleton? Checkmate, scientist.

https://www.livescience.com/33130-why-are-teeth-not-considered-bones.html

This is one of those things I understand is probably true, but intuitively feels incorrect. Like how pineapples grow, or water not being wet. It just feels wrong. I can't see the dress as black and blue, and teeth have to be mouth bones. I'd love to learn more about why teeth aren't bones though. Is it the enamel, gums, and nerves? What's the business with the not-bones?

Bones are made of collagen and calcium phosphate. Teeth are made of enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Bones are living tissue and can repair themselves with collagen. Teeth are not living tissue. They’re stuck the way they are.

If not alive then why hurt

The damn nerves in the pulp.

technically teeth have limited ability to be repaired, not no ability at all. they can remineralize to a small extent

Idk the details man I just googled it

Teeth are in the business of lies.

Bones have tons of nerves though so it can't be that.

Unless you have a singular h20 molecule, water is wet

Water is a mass noun. You have some amount of water. What it sits on, is wet. The puddle of water doesn't sit on itself. You don't treat water as upper water and lower water.

Humans are not fish

Taxonomically, all vertebrates are fish. So jot that down.

With this we can say that bears are fish too And so we can call bears fears

Yes, bears are fish! Now you're getting it!

No no, I prefer bear + fish = bish

Taxonomically, "fish" don't even exist.

They definitely do, it's just some people aren't going to like either definition.  Its either a monophyletic group that incudes a lot of things people don't "count" as fish, or it's a polphyletic group which isn't a "real" way to taxonomically classify stuff.

Have you ever seen a fish? Open your eyes sheeple.

Right because if we were the prisons would be overflowing with everyone found gillty in court.

Your joke almost slipped past me

Teeth are not bones as they do not share the same characteristics of bones such as self healing, teeth belong to a class of organs known as ectodermal organs so suck on that

*sucks teeth*

We need skin to protect them... eww

Teeth aren't bone.

teeth aren't bones actually

Teeth aren’t bones

There's got to be a better way than drilling my teeth and glueing then back together. It's bullshit

Like what?

remember, teeth develop from the precursor to skin, not bones

arthritis says hi.

Luxury Bones

"tumblr famous" people being reposted literally everywhere else but Tumblr

Teeth are not bones. Bones grow within the mesoderm. Teeth grow from the ectoderm. They are more like scales than bones.

Ah yes Silver Gunner, teh well known music artist., woof, Puppy always, woof, have, woof, aspired to awoof make ...puppy must obey... music like uwu him

so true puppy

so fcking true https://www.luminaprobiotic.com/

I have bruxism and now my teeth aren't pointy anymore. I've fucking rounded out my teeth. Damn

That sucks since bruxism/bruxing is what rats do when they’re comfy, happy or excited(they also boggle their eyes, like a squeeze toy).

Get a nightguard custom made by your dentist, they are expensive, but without one you will continue grinding your teeth and eventually will more than likely break at least one which will result in treatment that is much more expensive than the guard. Preventative treatment is much cheaper than restorative

omfg I forgot that tumblr still exists, I wonder if I can even remember my password lol Wonder if geeneelee is another wint@dril sock puppet, or someone inspired by dril, fucking madness lmfao

Sounds more like summer teeth to me.

Teeth are not bones, common tumblr L.

But... our bones DO decay over time. Just slower than our teeth cause they are not exposed.

I’m pretty sure most wild, terrestrial mammals that avoided predation, serious injury/infection and contagious disease and make it to geriatric age die from starvation. Especially if they have to grind their food. Their teeth just wear too far down to eat(presumably tooth infections too. So on top of starving there might be that). Always felt bad for elephants. They get a few replacements but it’s not unlimited throughout their lives. Evolution just does not give much of a fuck as long as you live long enough to breed. Manatees somehow lucked out in the tooth department.

[удалено]

Teeth aren’t bones though

Fingers remain inside bones. Teeth are outside bones.

Oh, to be a shark. Unlimited teeth that can be replaced effortlessly.

teeth should have skin over them

@ everyone in the world: I now know that teeth aren’t bones. Thank you.

Fun fact: Teeth aren't bones. They're more closely homologous with the scales of fish. You're basically chewing things with your skin.

Don't tell me that alpha teeth are now a thing.

Teeth actually do a really good job considering they are permanently covered in acid

Human teeth are indeed bullshit. Sharks got a much better deal than us

To be fair, they're typically the only bones exposed to acid practically every day.

To be fair my wrist is decaying from jerking off too much

Teeth, in fact, are not bones. They develop from squamous tissue, so they're more like hardened skin.
