The children yearn for crocodile dentistry.

The other person gets bit

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

In the original, you pulled them out, but parents probably got sick of losing the teeth.

Edit: This concept is demonstrated in this historical document https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-aEpGsH0a8

I always remembered the push down ones. That interesting they had the pull one as well.

I thought this was a guy trying to cut a toothbrush in half.

This is a live action adaptation of that one episode of Monogatari series (if you know, you know)

But why? don't they have many sets of teeth when growing up?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

they can replace them constantly, unlike mammals where we get a set amount of teeth. because thier bite forces, or ripping causes them to lose teeth quite often.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

they probably have a powerful immune system to deal with decaying matter, or carrion. also because they constantly replace thier teeth, caries and gum disease is less of an issue for them, as they wont get tartar or bacteria getting trapped in thier teeth.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Doesn't mean it's nice to have gum infections though. I can also imagine they are more of a threat to baby crocodiles.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Exactly and crocodiles keep growing teeth so they actually did evolve a defense against the dentist…

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

This particular one is clearly not ornery.

Girls is the devil

At least one person gets it

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The dentist or the reptile?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush
