I recommend checking yours by curiosity, people have more or less long ones.
Neat. I feel like I’d accidently chew them off if I had them.
Thanks. I hate it.
Tongue stalactites 🧐
Sweet tongueticles bro
Well, checking had just made me squirt all over my mirror
The (not) technical term for that is “gleeking”.
I hope it was followed by putting your shirt in cornholio mode and making Dilophosaurus sounds
um…for her pleasure?
Ribbed for her pleasure
That’s the joke.
Note for humans: we don’t need to downvote/punish someone for missing a joke here.
Note for other humans: free will means we can anyway
What if it’s another species downvoting?
Didn’t ask me. Apparently I’m wrong and we should downvote to make people feel bad
“…but it is encouraged.”
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.
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.
drink half a bottle of vodka first
Kellogg’s fan?
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.
I’ve lost two. Hurts like a bitch but it was worth it
That is so frickin cool
Im gonna check if I have them too but going off feel It doesn’t seem like it…
This is honestly so cool. It reminds me that we’re friggin Aliens.
Especially as embryos, which is where this comes from.
Hot
bruh can’t we have this marked nsfw
“L” … nsfL.
I hate this.
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.
My tongue is… like smooth underneath? Nothing that looks anything like these! I’m scared!
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!
organs on the opposite side of where they’re supposed to be
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.
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.
