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.

I too have three rows of teeth.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 103 points 3 days ago (1 children)

When fish have nicer teeth than me.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Have you tried a freshwater diet?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 82 points 3 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 16 points 2 days ago

A partially eaten cooked Pacu fish.

They evolved to chew nuts that fell into the water

Ok well, I'm never swimming again.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Bonus@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you fall in, not so much.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

The most dangerous place to be is right on the shore. Either jump in or stay away. You have to commit around these nut-chompers.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

Can we use them for transplants?

Is that what my teeth suppose to look like?

[–] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You people have never watched River Monsters with Jeremy Wade and it shows.

Is this an example of convergent evolution?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 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)

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Anytime! An opportunity to learn should always be used :)

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That article you linked literally starts with

We apologize in advance for the nightmarish qualities inherent to the pacu fish

No. Nope. No way. Uh uh. I'm not scrolling down. NEVER. You hear me? I have enough nightmares as it is...

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Honestly I don't blame you given the pictures of them with their teeth out

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago

Please mark NSFL

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

That’s fucked up.

[–] Bonus@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

Exactly.

Sounds like propaganda from Big Almond.

[–] VolumetricShitCompressor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is this some Midwest Big Apple?

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

No, that's the Big Onion.

[–] midsommar_blomma@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

I hadn't had many regrets in life, originally.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days 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

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Are you suggesting people are evolutionarily suited to gobbling nuts?

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

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

[–] taxiiiii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Found. The pacu fish

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

totally what my teeth look like

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Would you kiss that mouth?
