I pray to leave long enough to see the civil war between the AIs trying to decide whether I should live or die because I find it funny to be nice to some and sadistic to others
I fucking hate brushing my teeth. I cannot understand how so many people seem to just willingly do it like multiple times a day. How do they deal with the feeling of open revolt that washes over every cell in your body when thinking of teeth brushing?
After my first cavity and filling, and the pain of chewing on that side again it was all the motivation I needed to brush and floss first thing every morning, and then brush before bed no matter how much I hate it.
Yeah I’ve had people describe such a feeling but I’ve never experienced it. Closest I’ve experienced is a pleasant feeling of knowing it’s the maximum time before I have to endure that again.
white
I was not raised in the US so that artificial wall of unnaturally blinding white teeth has no value to me. TBH it seems like foot binding, neck-extension or cranial deformation - an extreme status marker that’s fascinating from an anthropological perspective.
artificial wall of unnaturally blinding white teeth
My teeth are white because I take care of them by brushing and flossing every day, going to the dentist regularly, and I don’t smoke. In other words, just by normal oral hygiene. How being responsible and taking care of your body is comparable to neck extension or cranial deformation doesn’t make sense.
I wasn’t trying to comment specifically on you or your teeth, it’s just one of those weird things that people notice about our culture, but people from here don’t realize is not the same in other cultures.
normal oral hygiene
Cranial deformation is just normal infant care in groups where it’s practiced.
Many western cultures practice dental hygiene in a way that doesn’t produce the “bleached wall” look that so many in US culture deem high-status. Teeth slowly change color and natural misalignments develop with less need to artificially modify that.
Teeth in the US are just a way more important site of identity than elsewhere. When people make fun of the US, teeth are often part of it because it’s something we’re way more intense about than other people are.
You’re high. Nobody makes fun of the US because of our teeth. 😂 What nonsense. If anyone gets shit on for their teeth it’s the British. I don’t know if you’re a boy or a girl, but your partner must be gross if you don’t brush your teeth. Both of you probably smell bad and have terrible hygiene 😆
Take care of your teeth. If you get problems, it hurts like a bitch, it can ruin you day, every day for years. It’s also expensive as hell. Take care of them, the best that you possibly can.
Try different toothpastes. The very popular ones (Crest, Colgate) I find treacly sweet and disgusting, and I fucking hate mint anything. Arm and Hammer is my go to for that bland goodness. YMMV.
For me it’s a texture problem. I didn’t notice until I was prescribed some high fluoride stuff that’s a mildly minty blue gel which is infinitely preferable to most toothpastes I’ve tried (for those curious, it’s a Colgate 5000ppm fluoride toothpaste, prescribed by my dentist because of temperature sensitivity)
Jokes on you - I’m quick to smile, non-judgemental and a patient conversationalist! 😊 The last time someone have you a compliment in public it might’ve been me and you’d never know! 😘
As a man with ADHD and poor oral hygiene, I need to get one of these just so that the assistant in my toothbrush gets lonely and depressed.
Just when things are starting to get their most bleak, I’ll use it to scrub my toilet.
Roko’s basilisk is gonna have a field day with this one

Complete opposite here. I love it. Even flossing. Such a great feeling when your teeth are white and squeaky clean.

I use an unsweetened charcoal toothpaste, it’s definitely the least unappealing one I’ve found.

You are a disgusting person who no one wants to be around. We deal with it by avoiding people like you
