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.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Have you tried a freshwater diet?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 83 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

Hi, I'm Troy McClure

It's the "Innsmouth Look"

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

A partially eaten cooked Pacu fish.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water

Ok well, I'm never swimming again.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

I too have three rows of teeth.

Can we use them for transplants?

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this an example of convergent evolution?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 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?

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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?

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

No, that's the Big Onion.

Are you suggesting people are evolutionarily suited to gobbling nuts?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I can eat walnut whole. The shell is fibrous, good for digestion.

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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Just grow them back

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] midsommar_blomma@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] flyhunter@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Suddenly caralho

Is that what my teeth suppose to look like?

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 2 points 10 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
