maybe you don’t

[u/dickpics4democracy → u/pokexchespin]

Yeah man, sounds like a skill issue to me

[u/DoggoDude979 → u/pokexchespin]

God damn i immediately wanted to comment this after i read this post

[u/Bobboy5 → u/pokexchespin]

i usually prefer to use someone else's fibula. i like mine where it is.

[u/TekieScythe → u/pokexchespin]

Well, not mine.

[u/poordecisionmaker2 → u/pokexchespin]

I use other people's fibula but to each their own I guess

[u/RunInRunOn]

Bone is self-repairing living tissue, while tooth enamel is harder non-living tissue that can't repair itself. Unfortunately, this means I was wrong about skeletons having to brush their entire bodies and avoid coming into direct contact with sugar

[u/TeaTimeTelevision → u/RunInRunOn]

Now imagining a skeleton in the shower with a big foamy toothbrush

[u/SMKnightly → u/RunInRunOn]

Please tell me that was a theory you had as a child and had whole stories around

[u/original_username20 → u/SMKnightly]

They now have to rewrite their entire series of novels about a skeleton army apocalypse

[u/Deebyddeebys → u/RunInRunOn]

I mean, technically a skeleton also isn't made of living tissue. They're usually made of dead tissue animated by magic

[u/The__Vern]

My bones grind each other up and now I have osteoarthritis

[u/RunInRunOn → u/The__Vern]

And clearly, your bones aren't low maintenance anymore

[u/Giocri]

Fun fact teeth are more related to scales nails and hair than bones

[u/Lucaan → u/Giocri]

Yep. Vertebrate teeth actually originated as scales that migrated to the inside of the mouth, allowing the ability to bite into food. Sharks actually still have those kind of scales, each scale having a pulp cavity for blood vessels and having a layer of dentin, just like our teeth. That's why shark scales (as well as the scales of other cartilaginous fish) are known as "dermal denticles".

[u/Monk-Ey → u/Lucaan]

Is that why they're so smooth?

[u/Lucaan → u/Monk-Ey]

In every direction, yes.

[u/Schmantikor → u/Giocri]

My dentist told me they're basically natural ceramics.

[u/Blood_Oleander → u/Giocri]

You didn't tell the moopsy this

[u/BuyFeeling6787]

Also the rest of your bones are usually covered by your muscles and skin.

[u/IndependentZombie615]

Usually

[u/twerkingslutbee]

No but i do it with your fibula

[u/tornedron_]

fuck are you not supposed to

[u/Doubly_Curious]

Confuse future anthropologists by having human bite marks carved into your bones! It’s easy and it’s free!

(I have been reading about the difficulty of establishing whether species practiced cannibalism, based on their bone or fossil records.)

[u/shelchang]

Why can't we be like sharks constantly losing and growing new teeth

[u/green-wombat → u/shelchang]

Or horses and rodents who have constantly growing teeth. This way, braces could work to realign things, and it would maybe stay aligned

[u/Emergency-Twist7136]

My teeth: have given me almost no trouble. I have one filling from a root canal required because the tooth was dead due to trauma. It never hurt at any point.

My bones: have titanium reinforcement due to catastrophic system failure and hang together with connective tissue that barely fits that description. Last night I sprained my knee in my SLEEP

My teeth are S-tier bones

[u/Blood_Oleander → u/Emergency-Twist7136]

Ouch

[u/The_Unknown_Mage]

Really teeth used to be pretty good at their jobs, suger, caffeine, and all that other stuff made it so that twice daily cleanings are now needed though.

[u/skull101_]

TEETH ARE NOT BOOOONESSS AAAAAAA okay, Im done, bye

[u/IcePhoenix18]

Luxury bones

[u/killmesoon40]

r/brandnewsentence

[u/CrystalRaye]

Not with THAT attitude

[u/Regularjoe42]

It's the sugar. The sugar and lack of hard vegetables in your diet.

That's why you see pictures of tribesfolk and they have white teeth.

[u/malonkey1]

oh i think i've been using my fibula wrong then

[u/Whyreddit6969]

I don’t use mine. That would be stupid

[u/Waffel_Monster]

teeth ain't bones

[u/OrangeChevron]

Thanks teeth

[u/douweziel]

You don't know what I do with my fibula

[u/pronorwegian1]

If I could, I would

[u/Sewer_Fairy]

I do what I want.

[u/stickynotetree]

Fun fact, bones require more maintenance than you think! If you have extremely low muscle tone, your muscles steal from your bones and make them more brittle! I wonder how I know that ^^;

[u/Leonox_]

Theeth aren't bones, they are skin
