That's messed up. Thank god my dentist didn't think that way, I never missed a cleaning and had one tooth pulled since 2020.

I had this happen to a perfectly fine tooth. No cavity, no filling. Started aching, then intense overwhelming pain for a few days. It finally cracked open right down the middle and the pain stopped. The dentist pulled it and we discovered the root had somehow become infected. The pressure built until it exploded. It was the most pain I have ever felt

Reply to TIL in the tiny African kingdom of Lesotho, a local style of accordion folk music known as Famo has sprung a fierce bloody gang war which has contributed to its high homicide rate. Little-known to the outside world, scores of musicians and hundreds of DJs, fans, family members etc. have been slain. by delano1998
This sounds like Chicago Drill Rap where they threaten rival gangs and then carry out the threats. Seems like both are dangerous pastimes
