Imagine how unsettling 32 badly organized teeth would look if you were used to this.

TECHNICALLY some animals have these, but aren't they pretty much only for crushing hard shit or something like that? Also for non-vegan diets it's a bit of an horror story, no? As we have various teeth for various parts of eating like cutting, ripping and grinding.

Why is this so gross to me?

How about 1 big hair follicle? Everybody gets to choose where theirs grows from 😆

Until you break a tooth and you suddenly have 50% fewer intact teeth.

It's called a beak.

In the gaps are sharp corners that help you incise food.

Also, yeah, if one breaks or goes foul, extraction isn't as difficult.

Looks like onion slices.

Gimme that beak life for crushing seeds and nuts

This is a dentist's nightmare.

Because different teeth serve different purposes. That's why canines, incisors and molars all look different from each other.

I want to kiss them. What does it feel like? If the teeth look like that the tongue is probably different too.

Is Lemmy okay with AI shitposts now?

Is it...is it bad that I don't hate this?

It's so dentists can sell us floss and give us a hard time about how we don't do it often enough

Redundancy. You lose less by cracking one tooth than by cracking a "chewing plate".

Also, don't post AI slop here. You should know better, @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world.

anyone got that meme of a cartoon guy looking disgusted while handing over an upvote?

But how vampire?

1 long curvy tooth

Would we still have lips? Maybe we'd gain a prenhensile tongue if we didn't. Im sure every adult can imagine ways that would be fun.

Let me introduce you to an old(giant) species of armored fish that was armed with shears for teeth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkleosteus

The entire family of armored fish is the first known vertebrates to have true teeth as well as among the first fish to have jaws. (Previously being more like algae suckers and lamprey-esque).

It is thought that they went extinct from being slower and not much better armored than unarmored fish like sharks and ancestors of predatory bony fish.

Just imagine someone punching you in the face with those dentures. Uff.

Howdy ma’am. Them are some nice chompers you’ve got there.
