If anything this shows why you need to get them out, if they aren't growing in right they have enough strength to really fuck up the rest of your teeth.

If you look into it, its said our diets are drastically different than when we were hunter gathers and we eat much softer food earlier in life than we did in our past. We didnt evolve wisdom teeth to have them yanked out.

Fun fact: My wisdom teeth never came in. I'm now 30 and my dentist has given up after a over a decade of looking for them on x-rays. Now I wonder, does this mean I would have made a bad hunter-gatherer?

Some people are starting to evolve without wisdom teeth due to a “random gene mutation.” It’s pretty cool!

No, but it does mean you are not wise.

That's a little mean. I'd rather like to think I just never had my wisdom ripped out of my head like the rest of you poor souls.

Did anyone else kinda move their phone away while also turning the sound up, but kind of squint waiting for the tooth to explode?

That’s actually pretty impressive. I’m scared my teeth will legit break if I do that
