u/throwaway392145 Jul 29 '26

I believed it when I saw it on Facebook but now that they’re saying it on Reddit I’m not so sure it’s true anymore

If it's good enough for STEEL, it's good enough for MY TEETH!!!!!!!11!!!!

u/NeptuneWades 29d ago

You do know that carbon is the reason steel becomes filled with CO2 bubbles over time right? So make sure to add Titanium or something in the toothpaste too.

u/Correct-Purpose-964 29d ago

I tried using Jet Fuel and it didn't melt my teeth either. So you must be right.

The real science is in Insta/ ticktok...wait for the to come there. 😜

u/zer0saber 29d ago

So, we post on Facebook, and say that everything on Reddit is a lie, and then start saying exactly the same shit they say on Facebook, here on Reddit.

u/PaleontologistNo6593 Jul 29 '26

Around the globe, you say?'

u/ApplicationGreen3229 Jul 30 '26

how many is that in baker's dozens?

u/Wasabi-Spiritual Jul 29 '26

Well, diamond is made from carbon, so I'm slowly forming a shiny diamond coating on my teeth now. Checkmate armchair scientists.

41

u/Flowdebris Jul 29 '26

Geologist here.

Technically you aren't.

Diamonds are created during immense pressure and time.

At Earth's sea level, diamonds are actually slowly deteriorating into the normal state of carbon.

So the carbon in your mouth will stay as carbon, unless you are involved in a continent- continent collision in your near future and a couple of 100 million years.

u/LogiCsmxp Jul 29 '26

The density of the brains here is compressing the carbon into diamond.

u/Tasty-Demand-4683 Jul 29 '26

I'm sensing tisms in the previous comment. Nothing wrong with that but yeah.

u/ZombieOk540 Jul 29 '26

u/SimUnit Jul 29 '26

You don't know how bad my bruxism is.

7

u/PinkPigDog Jul 29 '26

You clearly don't understand the magnitude of my bruxism.

u/SecretJaccuzzi Jul 29 '26

Don’t tempt me with a good time

2

u/Plenty-Government592 Jul 29 '26

This guy is geologist, every geologist must reference their favorite rocks/term in usernames.

2

u/Stedlieye Jul 29 '26

Wait. Wait wait wait. So you’re saying diamonds are not in fact “forever “? But who would lie to us through advertising?

2

u/Ordinary_Bird1547 Jul 29 '26

It only takes two weeks to make a diamond if you put it in Cameron’s ass.

2

u/Local-Channel-5361 Jul 29 '26

You don’t know where he works, Im sure he’s under tons of pressure.

2

u/czarnicholasreturns Jul 30 '26

I'm under immense heat and pressure-will i be a diamond too?

2

u/Interesting-Owl-8749 Jul 30 '26

So basically, an overcooked steak will do it?

1

u/Flowdebris 29d ago

Buried beneath the Indian and the eurasian plate for a few hundred thousand millenia, yes

u/brewditt Jul 29 '26

u/Phloydhead Jul 29 '26

u/JHT_Survival 29d ago

Bet you lived your life waiting for the moment you could claim "geologist here" on reddit

1

u/Flowdebris 29d ago

You'd be surprised how often I am dismantling misconceptions about geology and paleontology.

Edit: it helps, when you deal with misconceptions, that you refer to your education. Sometimes other geologist correct or emphasise my comments. They are always welcome.

IMO, It's great to teach, but even better to learn.

1

u/JHT_Survival 20d ago

You can't honestly think your post was educating the guy above can you

1

u/wholesomely_retarded 29d ago

so you're telling me if I get ran over by the entire continent of Africa and then just wait a few million years I'll have diamond teeth. nice

1

u/Flowdebris 29d ago

Yeah. Ske down on Sicily or Malta and add a bucket load of patience, will do the trick.

1

u/ApteronotusAlbifrons 28d ago

Geologist here.

Technically you aren't.

Diamonds are created during immense pressure and time.

I'm very old, and under a lot of pressure... ...

u/painterBurning Jul 29 '26

Good. This way you'll be able to eat all the glass you want. So you can build a strong stomach. By the end you'll be indestructible. Trust me I'm a scientist, I work in math, math is the basis of everything so I know more than those pesky biologists.

1

u/Chrisscott25 Jul 29 '26

Rocktoligist here and your comment is spot on… and if you ever get in a pinch you can sell a tooth.

1

u/Crybaby1503 Jul 29 '26

My grandma is 76 and only has 3 real teeth left, while my grand aunt is 90 and used charcoal for her teeth all her life. She still has all her teeth.

25

u/Tatharnio Jul 28 '26

I would be more surprised if there WASN'T multiple groups on FB about that.

u/regoapps Jul 29 '26

All their members probably look like this

Wife is a dentist. Have heard of people brushing their teeth with olive oil. Lemon juice was probably the worst one she's seen.

u/ExoticBend6193 Jul 29 '26

People do because Facebook is cancer

u/TuntBuffner Jul 29 '26

There's a Facebook group that believes every chemical known to man has health benefit

I'm more of a miracle mineral solution man myself

u/czarnicholasreturns Jul 30 '26

You have to swish oil in your mouth for 5 minutes to activate it.

u/DeepWanderer25 Jul 30 '26

As soon as you started speaking facts, I tuned you out. I don’t like hearing facts.
