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

Sweet tongueticles bro

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.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 0 points 2 months ago

Just trim them with a pair of nail clippers.

drink half a bottle of vodka first

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.

That's the joke.

[-] BossDj@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago

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

"...but it is encouraged."

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

What if it's another species downvoting?

[-] BossDj@piefed.social -1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

Well, checking had just made me squirt all over my mirror

[-] Janx@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

Can you not hide individual posts/images in PieFed? Guess why I'm asking this...

[-] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

bruh can't we have this marked nsfw

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

This can’t get off my feed fast enough

[-] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] iamanurd@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

This makes me quite uncomfortable.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

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

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

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

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

organs on the opposite side of where they're supposed to be

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

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 2 points 2 months ago

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.
