I mean.. it's my mind that knows. My tongue doesn't know shit
Yeah, and the tongue is just skin. If you know what it feels like with your hand, it's not going to feel too different with your tongue...
Well, the taste buds change the texture, which can make the perceived texture of what you're licking differ from using your fingers.
Right? I feel like the brain just recycles what it knows about those things from feeling them normally with your skin.
According to reddit - back when I used to go there - and my dentist - back when I last visited him - the tongue will autonomously follow dentistry implements, generally without your awareness.
Maybe it knows more than you think.
