Reply to comment by Nazamroth in TIL When a cow has opposite sex twins, the female twin is usually born intersex and infertile. This happens because the twins blood supplies are linked, which exposes the female to male sex hormones. by awawe
Probably starts something like this: "Oh no! I've been flooded by male and female hormones! I really should google this but I don't feel like it...Hope nothing had happens."

Reply to comment by eatbetweenthelines in Did ancient Greeks think that observation prevented observation of the paranormal / paradoxa? by Zestyclose-Advisor71
I mean it's anthropological, but I don't see how it's not historiography if it's looking for written sources on the period.

Reply to If teeth are mounted in sockets in the jaw bone, how do braces move them around? Do the sockets move with them? by MyCodesCumpie-ling
Teeth are anchored by the periodontal ligament. The pressure exerted by the braces on the tooth is sensed by mechanoreceptors within the periodontal ligament, signaling osteoclasts to alleviate the pressure on the alveolar bone by breaking it down locally. The bone is then restructured around the tooth when the pressure has subsided.
Retainers hold the teeth in place afterwards and avoid movement caused by things like healing tissue, elastic action of the periodontal ligament, or occlusion (how your teeth contact with biting/chewing).
