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?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 83 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

It's the "Innsmouth Look"

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 1 month ago

A partially eaten cooked Pacu fish.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (2 children)

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

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

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?

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

Is this an example of convergent evolution?

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 2 points 1 month 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!

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 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Just grow them back

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 2 points 1 month ago

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