Have you tried a freshwater diet?

What kind of people have teeth that look exactly like this? That's nuts.

It's the "Innsmouth Look"

The front row ones look more similar to our teeth than an apes, so that is pretty crazy to me.

When I wake up screaming at 2 am, this right here, this is why.
-
Can we use them for transplants?
-
Nope.

You people have never watched River Monsters with Jeremy Wade and it shows.

Name checks out, hay seed

Is this an example of convergent evolution?
-
Hey it is! Kinda. I Think.
But why are human teeth shaped like this in the front? Not so much for nuts, right?
-
I thought the same thing so I looked into it! The pacu fish's front teeth aren't flat like ours. They're more like our molars, which serve the same purpose of being used for crushing (so it technically still is convergent evolution)

Sounds like propaganda from Big Almond.

Is this some Midwest Big Apple?
-
No, that's the Big Onion.

I'm scared of it but also impressed it evolved to eat nuts.
-
There's another marine fish that also has these kind of teeth -- look up Sheepshead fish!
-
I hadn't had many regrets in life, originally.

Are you suggesting people are evolutionarily suited to gobbling nuts?
-
I can eat walnut whole. The shell is fibrous, good for digestion.

Found. The pacu fish

When the Japanese finally get their teeth generation DNA therapy going, everyone will be after these fish for starter scaffolds.
-
Can I harvest teeth from this fish to replace the one I'm missing?
-
Just grow them back

Please mark NSFL

That’s fucked up.
-
Is that what my teeth suppose to look like?
-
totally what my teeth look like
-
Would you kiss that mouth?
-
Depends how many drinks I’ve had.

-
If I went into an aquarium to find these fuckers cheesing at me I'd have to take mushrooms to cope. Thank fuck we have AI and this shits on a screen, I can sleep another day

Ahktually, they're related to piranhas and are omnivorous.
