what the hell is in your mouth

uueencatradora oh my god i posted this and then went to work, and [series of screenshots of replies] kanetamarion: What was it tho i m-just-gay-and-depressed ‘ Ok but What WAs in your mouth? kavisilence : so what was in your mouth that could have invoked that response like was your tooth just creating a wormhole in your mouth or what starryeyedwonder said What's in your mouth??? Why did they ask that???? story time okay so to preface this, my hometown where i'm originally from is a really fucking weird place. like from the outside it seems like a normal suburban town, but once you're there for awhile you get the feeling that's something’s not....quite all together. a lot of people are really fucking weird there — so much S0 that that was a running joke in school growing up, that people in the town were just like that. everyone knew not to go out to the farm lands surrounding the town especially at night, we called it “the cuts” and people used to disappear out there all the time or get shot at by the especially weird people that would live out there. the news was and still is truly a thing of horror. every time i come back i'm regaled with even more stories of crazy shit that has happened there.
to put it in perspective we generally never had “normal crime” like robbery or anything like that when i lived there, though that did happen sometimes. the news stories were always like, “a kid was kidnapped by local residents and tortured in a house around the corner,” “a random person was chased down and shot for sport in a really nice neighborhood.” “someone was gored to death by a bull while out car shopping,” etc. (these are all real, btw). everyone does drugs and the whole town is located really close to a government site where they test nuclear weapons and chemicals and shit.this is how i grew up, in this bizarre environment i only say this 0 you know that this town is where i got my orthodontics from. all the kids in my town went to this one particular orthodontist. i also used to go to a dentist in town that a lot of people went to as well. i had a permanent retainer put on my bottom teeth after braces and no one had ever said anything to me about the model of retainer itself or it being weird type of retainer at all. i saw a ton of other people (mostly other kids that were my age at the time) that had the same type of retainer as me too o i never thought about it however i went to a dentist for the first time in a metropolitan area now, and when he saw itin my mouth his literal first reaction was to say “uh can i ask you a question... what the hellis that" LITERALLY the words that he said
which in hindsight makes almost too much sense. of course my town of all towns would put these weird unnecessary contraptions in kids' mouths, and of course it happened so much that everyone just thought it was normal. that sounds exactly, to a T, like my hometown my permanent bottom retainer is apparently this prototype thatis so rare that he's literally never seen it before in his lfe, not in dental school, nowhere. its not that its an outdated type, its just rare as fuck. they were stil staring at pictures of it on my chart in wonder when i leftthe office. S0 just know somewhere out there, in a weird ass suburban town where they test nuclear weapons and a good portion of the residents go fucking nuts, there’s probably hundreds of people stil walking around with this same coniraption in their mouth that exists nowhere else in the world thinking, “yeah, that's cool. that makes sense. let me go drink the definitely not-contaminated water now and never move away from here.” bleachtrippin: This sounds lie an X-files episode
