Ain't that the tooth
Alright dad, settle down
If I'm ever a writer in any way I'm using your username at some point as a very clever joke
I can't take credit for it, stole it from the guitar pedal builder Fuzzrocious
He also made a pedal called "Broke Dick Peanut Gallery" lmao
A Bluesky post explanation
TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?!
what da fug.
let me guess, blue cross blue shield says its elective dental work and therefore only covered up to 25% and just for the tooth extraction, but will cover 90% of a flesh-colored eye patch with a drawn eye on it that does not match your flesh or your eye.
Just how the fuck did they discover this lol
sometimes you just get stoned and slop together whatever in the kitchen
The same way you discover secrets in Doom: you walk into walls pressing the space bar until something opens up.
This is cursed. I like it.
Don't forget to brush your cornea before bed, sweetie.
So that's how Sans undertale is able to see
Neat stuff
But if I have really bad teeth, can I get an eye implanted in my mouth to help them?
Idk about this. I might just prefer to be blind in one eye. 😬
