Today, the girl I'm dating mentioned that she'd had her healthy wisdom teeth removed to prevent her future children from having wisdom teeth. I laughed. She wasn't joking. FML

Timmeeh tells us more.

OP here. She is (was?) cute. Suddenly got a whole lot less so when I realised there was naught but cotton wool where her brainmeat should be.

I'm pretty sure there's a wisdom joke somewhere in there...

That's nothing to joke about. I've had my canines removed so I don't have any vampire kids

Either she brightens up a bit or I won't let her have children. I'm making it personal.

She wasn't joking cause she broke her funny bone too many times.

Um... I think she should have kept those wisdom teeth a little bit longer. Apparently those were the only things sending a charge to her brain. Please don't father those children... she'll just blame you for them having wisdom teeth.

Looked like wisdom went out with her teeth

My dad is a dentist and he told me that people are evolving and are being born without wisdom teeth because so many people are getting theirs taken out'

You and your dad realize that uh.. People are born with no teeth at all, right?

Your dad is correct. They have no functional use for humans anymore, so future generations will eventually not have them at all.

Also, 70 - some babies ARE born with teeth. They're called natal teeth.

I can't believe someone that unintelligent became a dentist. It's scary.

#79 You are right. Evolution is the word. But apparently this "doctor" said that wisdoom teeth will eventually go extinct because we remove them, not because they're selected out by evolution.

A trait being useless doesn't guarantee it will "evolve out". Many organisms (humans included) have vestigial organs. If it doesn't negatively impact the rate at which the organism successfully reproduces (and wisdom teeth certainly don't do that, at least any more), the only chance for it being bred out comes from random genetic variation. Natural selection doesn't look at what's "useful". If it has no meaningful impact, there's no environmental pressure to influence the breeding pool.

Tell her oral ingestion of sperm promotes weight loss and healthy skin

Do people seriously not see Ezio in the background?!?

If there's one thing her children won't get from her, it's wisdom.
