what is that game about
like, how do you win

I believe, you have to take turns pushing down individual teeth. By random chance, it will close the mouth when you do that. So, you lose when you get bitten.

In the original, you pulled them out, but parents probably got sick of losing the teeth.

Edit: This concept is demonstrated in this historical document https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-aEpGsH0a8

I always remembered the push down ones. That interesting they had the pull one as well.

But why? don't they have many sets of teeth when growing up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

they can replace them constantly, unlike mammals where we get a set amount of teeth. because thier bite forces, or ripping causes them to lose teeth quite often.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I imagine, they can still get inflamed gums or similar, if something gets stuck in there...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

they probably have a powerful immune system to deal with decaying matter, or carrion. also because they constantly replace thier teeth, caries and gum disease is less of an issue for them, as they wont get tartar or bacteria getting trapped in thier teeth.

Exactly and crocodiles keep growing teeth so they actually did evolve a defense against the dentist…

I thought this was a guy trying to cut a toothbrush in half.
