I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

@hankgreen I hope you do this every Monday evening... Being a nerd, you must be drinking bourbon. LOL.

More, encore!

@hankgreen well I was worried I had found a Hank imposter but good to know we can 100% confirm it's you
@hankgreen "did you read what Hank tooted on titty tooth today?"
@Rubz @hankgreen instead of drunk tweeting, it’s now tipsy tooting!
@hankgreen they say tootin' toots sounds silly, but I say we embrace it. Fly my toot, fly! Infiltrate into all the titty teeth!

@Rubz @hankgreen

Alliterative nickname FTW.

@kelvin0mql @hankgreen booby tooth has that middle rhyme, but I'm a sucker for alliteration!
@hankgreen that's why i signed up
@hankgreen speak for yourself, I’m on a different website
@hankgreen Tooting on Booby Tooth. The miracles technology brings us never cease.
@YourPalMichael @hankgreen Slight modification, if you allow 😂. Tooting on Titty Tooth.

@hankgreen I want more of these factoids! Thanks for sharing!

BTW, I love my Crash Course coin. I have it in my wallet as a lucky charm.

@hankgreen this is the kind of content I am here for! 🤓
@hankgreen English is weird! I was about to say "Well, not everyone here is on mastodon!" But then I realized that "we" was likely referring to just a large portion of the group including yourself, and not necessarily literally *every* single person SAKDLJsaldjklkdjsa (This account is on mastodon so correcting that would feel even weirder! lmao)
@hankgreen the Grand Tetons probably had a lot of them.

@hankgreen

I cannot tell you how much this amuses me.

I am tooting on Booby Tooth. 😂

@hankgreen drunk tweets are my favorite genre
@hankgreen so was it weird that these teeth were supposed to look like boobs, or does it imply a greater comfort with boobs than our current culture would probably have.
@hankgreen I've been on websites named after much weirder things.
@hankgreen so what you’re saying is someone should setup BoobyTooth.social ?
@hankgreen I've been meaning to post similar
@hankgreen I’m okay with that. 😁
@hankgreen not sure which part pf that is supposed to look like boobs
@hankgreen thank you for this information hank
@hankgreen does that make it booby tooting
@hankgreen from the boob tube to the boob tooth
@hankgreen I think that domain was taken.
@hankgreen At the risk of surprising no-one, I'll add to this that the word was coined by a Frenchman (Georges Cuvier).
@hankgreen I am okay with this.
@hankgreen May I suggest, for alliterative fun, titty tooth?
@hankgreen And that, my friend, is why I am here.
@hankgreen Why does this make me love it more?
@hankgreen yeah I confirm the translation is accurate
@hankgreen @coda I KNEW it meant breast tooth but I had no idea WHY. Thank you.
@hankgreen alright we are now open for registrations!
@hankgreen This is the best reason yet for adopting Mastodon.
@hankgreen 6.7 drunk Hank greens because it almost got there but fell just short
@hankgreen 🎶 Booby Tooth do do do do do doooo 🎶
@hankgreen I feel like the site would have gotten a lot more traction a lot earlier if more people knew this
@hankgreen
The name makes sense.
No problem for Europeans!
@hankgreen Mastodons, the Grand Tetons... and they say people today are sex-obsessed.

@hankgreen Mastodons, the Grand Tetons... there must be a couple of others. There's a nice "Only Connect" connections round in there. You haven't heard of "Only Connect"??? It's only the best quiz show on television! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_Connect
Only Connect - Wikipedia

@hankgreen I'm not clear what the problem is?
@hankgreen The next iteration of the Mastodon logo must take this into account.
@hankgreen I'm now afraid to ask what does "Toot!" mean 🫣
@hankgreen Thanks for making me laugh before starting work! 😆
@hankgreen I don’t want to know what they named mammoths after
@hankgreen This is the content I came here for!
@hankgreen Im assuming those were scientists from the 1800s, who not seen contact with women? 🤪😝🤪😝🤪
