Author Topic: Why they called this "Eye Teeth"?  (Read 10579 times)

Subpixel is just hyper-sensitive when it comes to his trypophobia

honesty, you are all overreacting
Phobias can make anyone overreact to something as minor as a harmless spider, it also depends how bad said phobia is

I don't find these pictures cringe worthy, but i refuse to google search trypophobia

I searched it once and never again, it's just wierd

Bone regrows to an extent. Skin regrows. Hair grows. (Although it's dead matter but you know what I mean.) Fingernails grow. Teeth for some reason do not.
Maybe its a dead function?
I mean I thought I read something about T-Rex's teeth being lost extremely fast yet regrows an almost infinite amount of teeth.
True it's because it ate like everything, but maybe re-growing teeth for humans could be a vestigal function?

Maybe this is all a part of Furlings plan? Maybe he's attempting to gather up all the trypophobia affected people on the blockland forums and scare them half to death.


That's actually really cool

Not really, you dont see holes where they used to be when looking at a model of a skull.
I'm pretty sure that the gaps where the adult teeth exist are not exposed on the outside of the skull.
They remove a layer of bone to show this.

I've never heard of the term "Eye teeth" before, and researching it has told me it only refers to the canine teeth, presumably because they are the larger teeth and before emerging their gap is closer to the eyes than other teeth.

i never really thought about where my adult teeth came from, they just magically grow from somewhere

today i learned

Yeah I know but according to what he said I was assuming he meant that there was a noticeable change in the skull's form. How do we know that some kind of tissue doesnt  regrow after the adult teeth come in?
I doubt theres just empty space there after your teeth grow in.

what are you all talking about

Ahh forget I should've listened to thearmyguy, now I'm about to puke.

This is a pretty mild instance of trypophobia, but if you look it up on Google images and scroll down a bit... you'll see some stuff that grosses me out, and I'm not even a trypophobe.

Oh look, a picture of a child's skull on the front page
How interesting

why do all of the images about skin use the same holes
