No periods
No balding
No nausea

Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

Ever think that wisdom teeth were supposed to be the replacements from back when our life expectancy was like 30?

[-] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

So you both want to do away with replacement teeth and also have replacement teeth. Huh.
