Imagine. You’re a fish just swimming around. You have skin that senses like a humans teeth can sense…a larger creature comes and crunches you and your teeth skin with their gigantic boned armoured jaw.
And then remember the last time novacaine didn’t work when someone was drilling your teeth.
That explains narwhals 🦄
So that’s why they are so freaking sensitive!
I wonder if this was how sharks got their skin teeth
New teeth horror just dropped.
Makes logical sense, I like it!
It does?
It does to me, I read the headline and immediately agreed with it
Hmm. Something about it feels just wrong to me. I’m fairly sure, though, that it’s a gut feeling and nothing logical. Because teeth on the outside? Because sensory organs in teeth? IDK.
Stuff evolves from the most unexpected stuff
Teeth first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish, fossil scans find.
thats right
Why do people do this? Not the first time I’ve seen someone comment the title of the post and nothing else. On Reddit, that would’ve been a sure sign that it was a GPT bot because that’s the kind of thing those bots do occasionally when they slip up.
I think it’s a reply to my incredulous “what?!”
Oooh, that actually makes sense lol. Guess I’m just slow.
Ehh. It took me a while, too, and I wrote it. Seriously though. What kind of sick evolutionary history is that? This is worse than the whole swim bladder thing. At least that doesn’t make me uncomfortable.
swim bladder
I beg your pardon
its probably only a matter of time before that scourge arrives in our little internet hovel. most likely already happening.
What?
