Futurism

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.
Tenets:
(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

Can you imagine the possible side effects of this though? I've seen too many photos of teeth growing where teeth shouldn't be.
As a 30 year old getting dentures - aka the target market, it would take a lot to convince me of the safety of this.
I know I'll end up with teeth growing from my tongue, butthole, etc.
Or the dreaded vagina dentata...
They'd have to give me a drug to grow a vagina first, but yeah.
Can you imagine the possible side effects of this though? I’ve seen too many photos of vaginas growing where vaginas shouldn’t be.
Just as an aside, I know people who don't believe there's anyplace a vagina shouldn't be. Your point stands though.
I guess the hope would be the injection is targeted specifically where they want a tooth, and works that way in practice.
Tooth-knuckles, now, I want them.
