A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not that incredible, considering we can get cysts full of teeth and hair inside the body
How do I unread this
Oh yes, teratomes are not fun. But thankfully they are comparably rare.
Imagine if you suddenly sprouted a tumor with functional tastebuds in your colon
"So what brings you into the doctors office today?"
"Well for some reason everything I eat ends up tasting like shit."
Ugh and I thought burping after having Fish Oil pills was bad…
Wonder if we could use that phenomena to regenerate teeth in a lab for replacements and dentures.
Probably no different than stem cell stuff
