Fascinating and slightly horrifying at the same time.

Great, like I needed to sleep.

I was going to ask if there's some German term (a la schadenfreude) to identify something that is both creepy and cool at the same time.

Anytime i see something delicate and intricate like that, i just want to smash it. Not the skull, but the open part showing the teeth coming up from underneath. I get the same feeling with honeycombs, and other things like that. It just fills me with a very pressing need to destroy.

You probably have trypophobia. Be VERY CAREFUL about searching this on google. Trust me...the picture freaked me out like that as well. D;

[–]Kalima 1 point2 points ago

Oh yes...that image provided me with the intense desire to destroy something beautiful. But seriously, it is nice to know it is called something and i am not completely crazy.

[–]rynlnk 8 points9 points ago

Just because it's called something doesn't mean you're not completely crazy.

[–]Kalima 1 point2 points ago

This is true...

I agree...blargh!

[–]Tydiel 1 point2 points ago

I literally want to take a sledgehammer and smash her fingers off. I think I have a minor case of trypophobia.

[–]sekalfyks 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Beautiful. Thank you.

I definitely understand the way you feel looking at all those bottom teeth...

[–]fireinthesky7 0 points1 point ago

I have the complete opposite reaction. Things like this fascinate me beyond belief.

Man I wish I was still a kid - I'd feel godly if I knew that's what I looked like when my milk teeth were being replaced.

Much of this stuff exists in an amazing city near my home: http://www.collphyphil.org/site/mutter_museum.html

Been there, LOVED it.

That's partially cut away right?

[–]NurseBetty 1 point2 points ago

yes it has been excavated out and the outer layer of bone removed. in truth when the skin is removed of a young child it just looks the same as a adult UNTIL you carve away the bone. We have a few humans skulls at my work.

no deformations or anything on the bone until you look under it. to top it off, when the tooth erupts, the space fills up with bone again.

Kid did not live too long. So sad!

Of course, someone is going to comment that this is a repost. And it is. I posted some time ago and had people rant about it being a repost. But unless you look through hundreds of posts by searching Reddit, you wouldn't know that. So all the Bitchy McBitchersons that bitch about reposts...find a better topic.

Looks like you answered your WTF in the title

[–]tophat_jones 1 point2 points ago

I have this intense urge to crush it into fine powder.

Whenever anyone posts this picture I am bothered by it for days.

Great, now I'm scared of children.

[–]ab26 1 point2 points ago

This is a repost that should never be. I always end up clicking knowing full well what awaits me.

[–]danmickla 1 point2 points ago

What is WTF about this? Jesus, people, grow some skin.

How is that so much grosser/creepier to me than that guy with the massive pimple? GAH I hate teeth.

This was my first "WTF??!!!" when I took anatomy and physiology. It only got worse.

I know what it is and I'm not going to look at it again.

All you are seeing is what all of you looked like at six years old. Of course you had hair and skin covering you.

[–]emFox 0 points1 point ago

Every time I see this, I want to pick out the teeth yet-to-grow-in with my fingernails.

Found myself oddly moving my lips around trying to feel where my adult teeth had been as a child.
