I recommend checking yours by curiosity, people have more or less long ones.

That's the joke.

Note for humans: we don't need to downvote/punish someone for missing a joke here.

What if it's another species downvoting?

BossDj@piefed.social · -7 pts · 185d

Didn't ask me. Apparently I'm wrong and we should downvote to make people feel bad

Imagine getting those caught between your teeth.

I got mine slightly damaged by my electric toothbrush which is why I researched what they were. They are not as big as the pic.

Just trim them with a pair of nail clippers.

You are the next logical step of superior evolution, and must always hide your powers, for there be those who will be looking for you, to perform... unsound... experiments.

No need to imagine. It hurts like hell for a while, then you forget they even exist.

Zoldyck@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 185d

I've lost two. Hurts like a bitch but it was worth it

The (not) technical term for that is "gleeking".

I love this!

I could have gone my whole life without knowing this, I'd have been that little bit happier.

Knowledge is sometimes a burden but overall it makes us stronger.

soul@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 184d

Thanks. I hate it.

RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 185d (5 replies)

My tongue is... like smooth underneath? Nothing that looks anything like these! I'm scared!

toynbee@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 185d (4 replies)

Apparently not everyone has these. I learned about them on an AskReddit thread many years ago. The title of the post was something like "what's something about people's body that they probably don't know?"

I showed the comment about this to my wife and she found she has them. She was so freaked out by their presence that I've refused ever since to find out whether I do.

Human bodies are weird! Tongue things, ear lobes are weird, some people can smell ants! There's so many more!

I remember a surgeon commenting that sometimes muscles and tendons can be in different places or even outright missing in individuals. That must make surgery fun.

toynbee@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 184d

Soon I'm supposed to have a surgery on my spine but possibly coming from the front. I've had about a thousand MRIs leading up to this. Apparently a goodly number of them were just checking to see if they could even get to my spine past the stomach (and, more than that, veins).

I don't really want to need the surgery, but I don't envy the surgeons, either.

Oh dear lord put some foreskin on that, you're scaring the children.

Reminds me of the mutant half-axolotl in season 1 of the Fallout tv series!

fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 185d

Used to ask what these were as a kid when I found them on my tongue. Nobody knew what I was talking about and I just assumed it was adults being stupid like usual. Guess I was right.

ChexMax@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 185d (1 reply)

I have these! Plus I've got a bony lump on the roof of my mouth. Like half a small golf ball or half a large marble at the back of my hard palate, right before my soft palate. I always thought everyone had it, but a few years ago I learned it's rare. More common in certain genotypes, most people in my family have it.

oce@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 185d

Nice!

Tongue stalactites 🧐

MrQuallzin@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 185d

I've got a couple of these dangly boys. Hurt like hell when they get caught inbetween teeth.

I also stretched out my tongue's frenulum while in high school resulting in me being able to stick my tongue into my nasal cavity.

Anyone else thinking it reminds them of a xenomorph from Alien?

yeah, my first instinct was to nuke it from orbit.
