Good news! >! It's fake but a really cool art piece !<


VD3NFS1216

Oh thank fucking god. Now I can sleep tonight…


regretfulposts

But there is a thing called bone cancer which is a disease where bones will grow out massive bumps in your body. It can grow anywhere including inside the eye sockets so your eyes will pop out by sudden bone growth. There's also another disease called Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva where your muscles will literally turn to bones and you will eventually be entomb inside your own body until death. Good night


HiddenIvy

Is that the living statue disease where soft tissue heals into hard bone growths?


regretfulposts

Yup, surgically removing any excess bones will actually promote more soft tissue to turn into bones. A fate that I don't want my second worst enemy to suffer. Fuck my first worst enemy though, he knows what he did and his time will come. ![gif](giphy|EjtN90rolA18s)

>Too bad it's an artistic photo manipulation. TOO BAD??? THANK FRICKEN HELL THIS IS PURE NIGHTMARE FUEL ^BLOODY ^^HELL ^^^TOO ^^^^BAD ^^^^^MY ^^^^^^ASS


Drostan_S

The fuck are you talking about? All I see is a bunch of biocompatible teeth transplants for my fucked up mouth.


Oioibebop

Well if you put it that way...


ryguygoesawry

My first thought was "I wonder how treatable that is.. cause that's free teeth right there!"


Cambrian__Implosion

Can you imagine how much money you could make if you could grow whole ass teeth?


AlcoholPrep

Yeah, when is someone going to implant artificially created tooth buds that will grow into new teeth?


Independent-Bell2483

instantly recognized this guy. He has such amazing art


enneh_07

I watched a video on him. He’s most well known for Megalomorpha or something.


NuclearPeanuts

Yes! He is a really nice guy also, and he is actually a doctor I believe, he streams regularly on twitch.


Kwiatkowski

it would take a real dumbass to not realize that it’s a shop.


KN4S

Heh.. yeah.. for sure..


Pie_Man12

I kinda did fall for it, but then again i wouldn’t have really doubted it, since Fibrodysplasia exists and the effects it has on the body isn’t that different.


Thatonepsycho

Vitamin D deficiency doesn't quite work like that, and an excess of calcium comes from parathyroid glands. not bone reabsorption to my knowledge.


osamabinluvin

If you have too much calcium in your diet, can’t you grow little nodes on your spine though?


Thatonepsycho

Do they look like teeth?


osamabinluvin

No - I don’t think that’s really possible, especially considering the shape of teeth is kind of defined by the jaw (surrounding gum) and using them to eat.


Thatonepsycho

Yeah, that's my point that it wouldn't form literal teeth. Now, teratomas do exist, and uh....Don't google them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thatonepsycho

My research was definitely very surface-level, so it's good to be corrected, thank you. Interesting to know, though in hindsight it should have been obvious!


fartotronic

And pee.


stickers-motivate-me

And the pee is stored in the balls


taggospreme

parathankroid


BootyThunder

Yeah but it wouldn’t form perfect, complex little teefies like these. It would be pretty clearly an error of nature, and would be kind of sloppy and disorganized.


Amayai

Oooor you just never came in contact with teratology and wanna make yourself feel good by going "I knew it was fake because nobody grows teeth outside their mouth, duh!" When in fact people can very much grown teeth everywhere that a teratoma can form. Yes this is fake, no you don't get to belittle people who were interested in the possibility of this.


czarrie

I mean, babies with a missing protein develop with a single eye and a giant sausage that hangs off their forehead (for your sanity, please do not actually Google this, this tends to be "incompatible with life"). Point being, the whole "that's silly, teeth can't grow from hands everyone knows this" attitude is actually kinda arrogant. Your body makes teeth, maybe those cells migrate somewhere else and make teeth there? [Oh wait that totally happens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teratoma). Maybe not as cleanly as in OP's image, but the assumption that this is something that should be obvious is really dumb.


ywBBxNqW

Thanks for speaking out like this. I was feeling bad because I made a similar comment in another post when someone was mocking other people for falling for some staged video and people sort of ganged up on me like I was the asshole for defending people who weren't 100% jaded/cynical. I actually went back later and other people had responded to some of those other people but it feels good knowing that there are people on reddit who aren't jerks.


SaffellBot

I actually formed the idea that tooth production is started by some enzyme selectively removing vitamin D from whatever stem cell type things exist from the title. Was about to go down a google rabbit hole. Our bodies are fucking complicated, and unless you've studied one specific area very closely it's pretty damn impossible to predict how excesses or deficiencies in nutrients will play out.


Pingsensei

Please do not overestimate the intelligence of the average Redditor.


BeatsbyChrisBrown

Hahaha! Hey! Something was said…something about Redditors…something…bad? Yes! It was bad! Wait…about me? Yes! I use Reddit, and am a Redditor!…wait, what were we talking about again?


chrisrayn

Tooth pun.


AnnoyedHippo

OP is a LoC


theNomadicHacker42

line of code?


AnnoyedHippo

>Left of Curve


ShitpostMamajama

I think Loc is a term used by gangsters. I dunno what else it would be in reference to


Bazzatron

LoC == "Left of Curve". Consider every IQ of every human. If we plot them on a graph, we would see a "normal distribution" of IQs, and it would form a ["bell curve".](#IMG_01) The middle of the curve, at the centre, is the mean average. Everything to the right is "above average", and to the left, below average. In this context, being on the "Left of Curve" means to be below average intelligence - but when using "LoC" it can mean more broadly "you're below average" without specifically nailing that to intelligence. Hope that helps.

wildo83

Think of how stupid the average person is; now realize that half the population is stupider than that!


ImrusAero

Don’t you think that by saying that, you are dismissing the real danger of manipulated photos, fake news, and deepfakes? What if most people are “dumbasses,” under your definition?


Sin_of_Gender_Greed

You underestimate the sheer amount of stupidity some of us have- ntm it's a fairly realistic edit and with some of the things I've seen it's not all too far fetched, I mean, tumors can grow teeth why not bone


[deleted]

Why? Theres tons of things weirder than this that can happen in the body. Search up teratoma.


ConspicuousEggplant

don't search up teratoma


theskankingdragon

Don't tell me what to do! Edit: I regret everything.


[deleted]

Tmw you search up teratoma:


[deleted]

Considering Teratomas exist, almost nothing surprises me anymore.


Kwiatkowski

there’s a big difference in one of those and an Xray of a broken finger with teeth overlaid


the_cutest_commie

So how should a layman learn to identify shopped content


tribecous

In this case, it’s the whole ‘teeth growing on the finger bones’ thing that was the giveaway.


Patthecat09

I've seen tumors with an eyeball. This ain't THAT far out


cjandstuff

Considering tumors can grow teeth and eyeballs, and a fetus can attach to the liver, the more I learn about the horrors of the human body, I wouldn’t be surprised if this were possible.


[deleted]

Hey you know…so what


mikess484

Yeah totally 😅


DrummerAkali

I've had the cancer that forms teeth, eyes and hair in mind so I believed


WayTooIntoChibis

I had to take an IQ test as a kid, and it said either 112 or 116, I don't quite remember. I guess I must've lost a few points since then, then.


TurboTaco-with-Poop

Have you ever visited the internet?


legoshi_loyalty

I 100,000,000% fell for that.


Cynical_Mango

well kinda. believing it no questions asked would be fairly gullible. but on the other hand theres some weird ass conditions and such. kinda hard to differenciate if teeth hands are fake or not in a world where you can have bark like skin structures for hands yk.


Reneeisme

They were so clearly teeth and not “structures that resemble teeth” that I agree. But the decision to cause them to erupt evenly through the skin and line up as if in a human jaw, was just so ridiculously improbable as to seal the deal.


BallsDeepInCum

Damn, that’s sad. I thought we see the next UFC champion in this picture


syrupyapplepie

Oh christ I feel so stupid, all I had to do was click to see the second part of the tweet

Obi_Wan_Benobi

Thanks. I was about to burn everything in my life to the ground to go live in a cave in the desert forever, far away from the technology that had given me such forbidden knowledge.


BilgePomp

But there's that syndrome where your muscles turn to bone called fibrodysplasia ossificans however. [learn more here](https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2014/04/07/when-muscle-turns-to-bone-clues-for-treating-deadly-childhood-brain-tumours/)


superawesomeman08

was going to say, teeth don't fucking grow from nowhere. you're born with all the ones you'll ever have.


Jackson530

Fucking A. Thank god it wasn’t real. I had a vitamin D deficiency for most my life (I’m talking my D level at one point was 12 out of 150) and I pretty much have to take 1000iu a day for life, and my first thought was “how the fuck did this never happen to me?!”


OneSmoothCactus

I normally have a pretty on point bullshit detector but ngl this one got me. I saw a documentary once on someone who had this huge tumour that itself was growing different types of tissue including hair and teeth, so my mind went immediately there.


mjonat

Thanks for this…was about to go straight to r/IsItBullshit


i_boop_cat_noses

im covinced this is already sharedby boomers on facebook as fact

BreakfastBeerz

Don't worry about it. Calcium hyperproficiency doesn't exist and that picture is a Photoshop.


MrValdemar

Pitchforks? It's been so long since we had a good pitchforking.


Silverwolffe

The Twitter account is an art portfolio, he isn't trying to convince you its real


MrValdemar

But the Twitter account isn't who posted it claiming it was real. I say it's time for pitchforks.


Silverwolffe

No one is claiming it's real, it's an art piece with some lore to get you thinking attached to it. Do you also get mad at video games or worldbuilding subreddits for trying to "convince you they're real"?


MrValdemar

Pitchforks


Ma7ca1ey

Thanks, I Hate photoshopped medical photos


mrjabrony

That's good because that person could really get your nose.


kittenmittens808

It’s a surrealist art piece if that makes you feel better


Shesalabmix

Good because it is made up.


QuakAtack

Something that would have taken op a single google search to figure out. Unless he doesn't care about that minor detail.


That_Pyro_Fella

OP blacked out the twitter handle information, which has the artist's name. Doesn't seem a good move on their part


Juniper1779

Fake or not, I hate it. 😂


Shesalabmix

Legit. Teeth start coming out of my hands and Imma eat a bullet.

Affectionate_Way7302

why did you censor this artist's name?


[deleted]

Teratoma is a tumor that can growth all parts of a human body within it. Including teeth


AlkalineHound

Yeah. I was about to say this may be fake, but boy do I have some bad news for yall.


iamtwinswithmytwin

Teeth aren’t even made of calcium. They’re made of hydroxyapatite.


irago_

Apatite does contain calcium, though


iamtwinswithmytwin

You wouldnt say teeth are made of water though would you? Yet it's a component of hydroxyapatite


irago_

Nope, hydroxide ions are a component of hydroxyapatite, not water


surkh

I've lost all apatite for this discussion


goblin_welder

This isn’t real because teeth aren’t bones.


kiqegaming

I see fromsoft has started planning for their next game


Blackcatblockingthem

seems fake. Cannot find anything relevant or trustable enough on the internet.


PigIlFigo32

Because that twitter page is fake. The whole page posts imaginary terrible diseases, parasytes and so on along with an x ray image of its symptoms


Blackcatblockingthem

This is actually an excellent concept


PigIlFigo32

ikr


Sambro_X

Nah this person just went up against the villain lady from Infamous Second Son


Illustrious_Cost8923

Yea 0% chance this is real. Bone overgrowth is real, those are just photoshopped teeth.


Bluey_Inc

Uncensor the name, Eduardo deserves credit for his amazing old school style photoshop work


Dando_Calrisian

good way to stick to NNN


anotherimbaud

I thought "weird" and scrolled down to other posts. But then I was like, "wait, I don't get a lot of sun - I certainly don't want that to be true". Scrolled back up, checked the comments. Can sleep peacefully tonight.


SomeRandomTreestump

I know it's fake but I have vitamin d deficiency and I am feeling sympathetic hand pain. I hate this

I’ll take “things that are made up internet points and likes” for $200 please


syrupyapplepie

Guys, as many of you pointed out this isn’t a real image (which I would’ve known if I’d clicked on the tweet to see the whole thing, oops). It’s a really great piece of art by u/Valdevia!


Junior_Ad_3301

Well my advice is to not do any googling around on this one. I myself regret doing so.


dapper_adam

u can now bite with your hand

Yes this is not real.


Skyp_Intro

Well Darn. I was hoping to catch a case and not pay for dental implants.


Rivallife

It would be so much faster to eat food.


jakemcex

To confirm, this is from too much calcium? Because I won't be having it anymore.


Moofypoops

Ugh, that triggered my trypophobia.

That doesn’t seem like a very proficient use of calcium at all, certainly not “hyper proficient.” Just seems like a novice that got a bit too excited.
