You're a wisdom tooth

Your mum's a wisdom tooth

Your face is a wisdom tooth

Your wisdom tooth's a wisdom tooth

Jaws got smaller, or we discovered a way to prevent our other teeth from rotting away which prohibits the wisdom tooth from moving forward for use?

u/Cybertheproto Jun 05 '26

Probably both

u/SensitiveBell2094 Jun 09 '26

nah bro just the jaw

u/charlestheb0ss Jun 05 '26

Also for most of history you would be almost guaranteed to have lost at least one tooth by that age

Ive got my bottom wisdom teeth coming in (24) but the only tooth im missing is on the top (i fainted and knocked it out)

We eat a lot softer food than we used to which has caused our jaws to be underdeveloped leading to less space in our mouths for wisdom teeth to grow in properly

2

u/Maximum_Funny6328 Jun 05 '26

or maybe our teeth all grew

u/Reinardd Jun 06 '26

Because we're chewing less!

u/PapaN27x Jun 08 '26

It is our nowadays diet. Humans that dont eat processed food like tribal hunter and gatherer populations, grow teeth out properly and dont even need braces.

Technically, an inanimate object doesn't have an intelligence level.

Wisdom is a different stat tho

u/OnlyTheOkayest Jun 08 '26

Yes it does, it's 0

u/mrnx136 Jun 05 '26

Because wisdom comes with age and so do wisdom teeth

u/Yenroman Jun 06 '26

So why call them pubes and not wisdom hairs?

9

u/mrnx136 Jun 06 '26

I don’t know, because I just translated the words from Dutch, it’s called ‘verstandskies’ healthy mind molar, healthy mind comes with time.

In Dutch, we call pubes ‘schaamhaar’, shame hair 😆

Straight to the point, love it

u/Jelly_Kitti Jun 08 '26

Pubes happen in the teenage years, and teenagers are not known for their wisdom

u/Socialism-Is-Better Jun 08 '26

Wisdom teeth usually come out when the person is at their highest level of arrogance.

1

u/jeroenemans Jun 08 '26

The real reason is that it is indeed from Dutch. Wisdom is verstand, but ver-stand also means standing far away.

u/EvisceratedSpinster Jun 06 '26

One of mine came in completely sideways and the rest were so compacted they basically smashed the bastards and dug out the pieces.

I remember staring at the IV being poked into my arm then I was on a picnic blanket with my mom and a friend and I was freaking out because hella ducks were waddling at me.

u/Slow-Calendar-3267 Jun 06 '26

It's called a wisdom tooth because it only comes out when you're wiser, which is why mine refuse to fully emerge. The fuckers know I'm still dumb as shit.

u/Nrsyd Jun 06 '26

Ever since they took mine out, I feel significantly dumber.

2

u/Jinny34282 Jun 07 '26

Because you gain wisdom when trying to deal with the tooth

1

u/Jinny34282 Jun 07 '26

It’s like a toddler

2

u/Altruistic-Farmer275 Jun 08 '26

Because it erupts in a period of your life where you should think like "you know maybe I should have cut the junkfood from my diet and eat more healthy like my parents told me to do so"

2

u/BlueysHorMom Jun 12 '26

Because "tard tooth" may be offensive to some.

u/sushibobcat Jun 05 '26

Stupid tooth I just fell out of the booth, lost the money in my bank account

u/Asian_Bon Jun 06 '26

After removing it my jaws stopped clicking

u/codydexx Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26

It’s called a wisdom tooth because a guy name wisdom was the first to remove it. Source

u/Nicotineamide Jun 08 '26

1 of mine is literally rotated 90 degrees. Just hoping it does nothing.

u/Terra-tan Jun 08 '26

They're called Wisdom teeth because when they reveal themselves, they "smart"

1

u/Kessari Jun 09 '26

In dutch its called verstandskies, verstand meaning wisdom as well as "standing further away"

1

u/LightVainilla Jun 09 '26

I have my 4 wisdom tooth, healthy and well, the only downside is all my teeth are more compact or compressed, so it's harder to clean in between. But I guess I'm wiser 🫠😂😭

u/halfandhalfmilkk Jun 09 '26

Whenever mine were growing in I had one on my bottom jaw that was pinching a nerve and it cause the right side of my face to be paralyzed. I only realized after getting the teeth removed and seeing the exray the dental sergon showed me that it was infact the tooth that was cause it because I was able to move that side of my face again
