And does it have to be my femur?

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Nope! It's doesn't even have to be human.

Cash, cash, cash for your bones! Too many bones? Not enough cash? Call Cash Bone! Ribs, skulls, spines, even certain tiny ear bones. The leg bone's connected to the Cash Bone!

My brother once slept in with his head under his pillow. He got much for his skull but at what cost...

[-] Jimbo@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago

Now we call him totally headless nick

Mom got angry when I kept putting chicken bones under my pillow each night. "Don't incur the wrath of the bone fairy!" she warned!

Anyway, I'm a fae touched warlock now so who's laughing now, Ma.

In my experience, the answer to this is nearly always "everyone involved in the situation, except for you."

I'm sure there's easier ways to pick up Eldritch blast.

Hostile bone fairy? You mean the Moopsy

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

A femur? That depends, is it your femur? Or is it a femur you acquired?

In the former, you may be eligible for a lifetime of less-than-poverty wages, for free from a thing called "dys ahh bill eee tee"...

If it's the latter, you can get an all expenses paid trip to the local penetentary! Where you will be given free food, clothing and shelter, possibly for years!

Either way, you may not have to work, ever again... Or maybe you just won't be able to! Who knows!

[-] notthebees@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

But what if it's not a human femur. Like say a goat femur.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

We're going to need a pricing table here for that. Let me ask Haskill for that.

[-] ScruffyDucky@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

A femur bucks than for a tooth

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago

If the bone fairy gave you money for your bones, it's not more than what the tooth fairy gives for teeth otherwise we'd have a totally different tradition going on.

[-] colderr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Well, bones are quite a lot bigger compared to teeth so, it's a possibility that you could get more money from a bone fairy.

[-] lath@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Seeing how bone fairies are more hostile, the bones you place under your pillow will likely end up as protection fees.

Miss a payment and lose a bone.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago

Moopsy agrees.

I didn't realize fairies worked like the American healthcare system, with mouth bones being a super special exception from the rest of the bones

[-] federalreverse@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Eh, tooth fairies are totally unheard of in quite a few countries, but dental school is regarded as medical special ed pretty much worldwide.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

In America's case they are generally considered healthcare professionals but insurance insists they are covered separately.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's the same thing in Canada as well unfortunately.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

I would watch this Doctor Who episode

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

One bag of freshly plucked eyeballs from the eyeball fairy.

The eyeball fairy leaves you with 1 lb of spleen's.

They all trade parts to leave you with something. You don't want to know what the pound of flesh fairy leaves...

[-] Dufurson@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Personaly, I prefer the boner fairy

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

Wait till you put it under your couch cushion ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You have discovered the true identity of the sofa king

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Those fairies live in the same universe where the skeletons came at night and the bones are their money and so are the worms?

[-] ReynT1me@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

The tooth fairies in Pathfinder pull out tiny pliers and take your teeth by force, can't wait to throw them at my group

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

In Quebec, we had a legend that is thought to be related to "The Bone setter". It's a guy that would crack back your bones or something, and their patients would scream, so people were rightfully scared.

Parents would basically say to their child that if they misbehave, they would call the bone setter.

[-] rkw_social@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Probably makes them fear chiropractors as well. So... ... Win win

[-] UnbalancedFox@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Québec? Username checks out. 😅😂

[-] Nayfun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

You shut your whore mouth!

.... You'll spoil the joke! C'mon man.

[-] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Username checks out though

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Indeed it does. I noticed that immediately after I posted my comment.

Oh well.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Be careful not to "accidentally" (??) break the femur or the magic fairy will be a bit different.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

About tree fiddy.

Side question: how much do kids get for teeth these days? Has inflation hit the tooth fairy game yet?
