How will I threaten my child to brush their teeth now?

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well now you can pull one out whenever it starts getting yellow and regrow it. It won't take many for him to start brushing.

Jesus. 😱 How long do you think it takes to regrow a child?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

At least 9 months. Trying to speed this up might make it slower, but it won't make it happen any quicker.

Is that what happened to Musk, Trump, Putin, etc.? They got decanted from the tubes too soon? I mean, that makes sense, but why not just let it wither on the vine at that point? Shareholder pressure? Curious.

Well, I was quoting RFC 1925, the twelve networking truths....

(2) No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can't increase the speed of light.

  • (2a) (corollary). No matter how hard you try, you can't make a baby in much less than 9 months. Trying to speed this up might make it slower, but it won't make it happen any quicker.

Peer pressure should fix this shortly.
