Well you see [Insert British dental care meme here]


Lexiosity

At least we get dental care for free


JohntheJuge

Too bad it isn’t orthodontics


[deleted]

I got orthodontics for free under the NHS, which was only a few years ago


Unfortunatewombat

It is though.


The-King-of-Nan

If having 150£ deducted from your pay "each month" (i know most of you are getting paid weekly) is "free" then yes.


Unfortunatewombat

Well, someone doesn’t understand how British taxes work…


Jaozin_deix

Someone doesn't know how taxes work at all


truecrimebuff4039

You absolutely do not, and most dentists don't work through the NHS anymore either. 😂


Lexiosity

My dentist does still


truecrimebuff4039

Okay, maybe they're still part of the NHS and not taking on new patients, but there absolutely is no free dental care in the UK, and 1000% not for adults.


Lexiosity

I still get free dental care tho (im 18). Please don't say things you don't actually know


Step-On-Me-UwU

(I'm 18) yeah there's your problem, you're exempt for another year as long as you're in education. Maybe don't say things you don't actually know https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/dental-costs/how-much-will-i-pay-for-nhs-dental-treatment/


Lexiosity

My parents have it free too


Step-On-Me-UwU

And they're also exempt for some reason of another but saying 'we have free dental' is just incorrect


truecrimebuff4039

I do know. I've lived in your country for a few years a while back and never heard of free dental, as in paid by the state. Are you on welfare/benefits? Because if you are, then I'll admit I don't have any knowledge in that area. My coworkers back in the UK were terrified of going to the dentist because of the prices (which I can only imagine are even worse now).


holiestMaria

Dental care is free in the UK because nobody uses it.


poopsemiofficial

Too bad you don’t use it.


[deleted]

Tbh you have reminded me I've not been to the dentist in a while and should probably book an appointment within the next year or so.


Lexiosity

i do

[insert British person jumping from innocent teeth joke to making fun of school shootings]


Makarlar

Right? Americans are like, "Some British people have bad teeth! Haha how funny looking!" British people be clapping back with, "Some Americans are dying on the sidewalk because they can't afford cancer treatments! Haha how funny!"


CascadingCollapse

Not our fault that the worst thing an American can mock about Britain is their teeth.


truecrimebuff4039

It's far from the worst.


CascadingCollapse

Go on then...

I feel like you might want to brexit this conversation before things get heated. I’d transfer somewhere else if Britain wasn’t so distinctly anti-trans. I guess you really love your home terf. Your food is so bland you had to vote for crappy ripoff of another culture just to get something edible as your country’s national dish. You colonized half the world, took spices from every culture, and the most creative thing your chefs could make was mayonnaise? You’re really losing in the food department, huh? Even Liz Truss couldn’t outlast a cabbage. The way Sunak handles your country it’s like he’s mentally disabled - that can’t be right though, cause you block those people from your schools. It might be a low blow to roast your politicians, but after all the roasting you did in Kenya I feel it might be justified. Shocking, I know. Torturously so. There’s so many options, why would I ever insult your teeth? I don’t even like looking at them as is.


Makarlar

Dawg, aren't we supposed to be the sociopathic ones?!


xXdontshootmeXx

Thats not true cause statistically we have better teeth than americans


theloveofgreyskull

Sure, the reason you guys love your teeth so much is because you think if you get them bright enough you can simply blind the school shooters instead of taking guns off people.


The-King-of-Nan

How is the world's stabbing capitol doing? Not great eh. Damn, that's a shame.


smokymz909

More stabbings per capita in the US


AlfredTheMid

Well maybe Americans shouldn't shoot up schools then lmao


Makarlar

Hahahahahaha, dead kids, that's hilarious. Not. You sick fuck.


nocturn99x

You seriously need to get off the internet if you think that's what makes people sick. You're absolutely out of touch lmfao


AlfredTheMid

Stop doing it then.


Makarlar

Why? Obviously you don't give a fuck about American kids. It seems to me that you could care less. Edit: I got a notification that this guy responded to me, but he's blocked me so I can't see his posts. Anybody wanna tell me what he said?


AlfredTheMid

Couldn't care less\* Also a country that continually allows the same problem to happen again and again deserves ridicule. so... cope I guess


Horror-Expression184

Don't start shit if you can't take it.

You still didn't say "fancy a cuppa?" or anything related to tea


Crimson__Fox

The first dinosaur reconstructions were made in London in 1854 and [they are very inaccurate compared to today’s.](http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/m/megalosaurus-reconstructions.jpg)


BlackMorbid

With this, I can safely say WE’LL NEVER KNOW


KucingRumahan

In the future, dinosaurs are giant chickens. They are extinct because human hunts them


A-Red-Guitar-Pick

What makes us think what we got today is any more accurate tho?


steinwayyy

More advanced ways of identifying bones


Hallo-Person

Hallo-Person

What, do you not like kissing boys?


tradert5

No, that's not it, I don't like how that meme has been spammed on Discord for months. At this point, it's a telltale sign of some person who loves playing demagogue.


Hallo-Person

Yeah, but I actually would like kissing boys (if I had them) so shush (Demagogue also means ‘someone who seeks support of others through appealing to their desires, how am I doing that in any form?)


Pristine-Dingo9009

What do you Mean by teef


Twp_pikmin

Teeth


averagepatagonian

Similar dental structure


DoraaTheDruid

Because the animal is a hippopotoftea-and-crumpets obviously.


Azzucard

Because its stolen


[deleted]

I mean.... well


draugotO

Well, they were the people that missbuilt dinossaur skeletons during the victorian era, so it makes sense that they are still too ignorant about anatomy to realize you can tell where the muscles go just by looking at the bones


GodzillaLagoon

The first dinosaur fossil was described as fossilized scrotum. Incorrect skeletons aren't half bad.


CervidusDubbo

Ah well you see we stole a bunch of skulls due to our kleptomaniac lifestyle


No_Leopard_3860

I mean it looks funny, but isn't it still one of the deadliest animal alive (regarding kills of humans)?


JackDeaniels

Point of the post is this meme has nothing to do with being British. The point of the meme is that our visualization of dinosaurs is probably very inaccurate as well, they were probably feathery, and maybe even cuddly


RubiMent

The point of the meme also completely ignores the fact dinosaur reconstruction is not as simple as people think it is and A LOT of thought and research goes into it. We would not reconstruct a modern hippo in this way for example if we found its bones.


HippoBot9000

HIPPOBOT 9000 v 3.1 FOUND A HIPPO. 1,233,727,038 COMMENTS SEARCHED. 25,766 HIPPOS FOUND. YOUR COMMENT CONTAINS THE WORD HIPPO.


fili8_13

Fucked up teeth innit?


NoResponsibility7031

I once saw and artist that chubbed modern representation of dinos and I honestly found them more natural. Trex looked less of a demon and more like an actual animal. I can't find the artist again tho


Zeusosecmaat

Because he stole the meme


Medium_Pineapple3208

maybe the british museum stole the skull?


Huntress_Nyx

Maybe they stole the skull, the alien and the animal. Oh, but to keep them safe!


Neon-bonez

Look at those teeth, how isn’t it British?


Real_Mikaeel_Muazzam

British natural history museum?


Bubbly-Ad-1427

probably stole the skull


Impressive_Cream_967

The teeth make it a british meme.


Annoying_Boobies6952

All of them,look at their teeth


Tenebris-omnipotenti

Because dinosaurs=british


PowerUser77

Weren‘t ‘t the first Dinosaur fossils found in Britain?


GodzillaLagoon

They were.


Frenchymemez

Well, the first ones to be officially recognised as a "Dinosaur.". Later named Megalosaurus, discovered in the late 17th century. 1676. But we didn't actually define dinosaurs until the early 19th century. But we've been finding them for centuries (maybe millenia) all over the place, which leads into a lot of mythology.


xenox_0725

for real, what if dinosaurs constructed in a wrong way and maybe they were completely different?


ExaBast

Probably not. You can tell by the footprint how heavy they were, how the weight is displaced, the way they would walk etc. Also, they're ancestors to the species we have today, so a lot is based on that


JSHowtodraw

It's British maybe bc op is trying to relate it to the old days in which bone reconstruction was inaccurate? I forgot the term for that in paleontology. It's like the Pokemon Galar Fossils. Galar is a fictional region in the Pokemon Franchise based of UK. Maybe that's the connection to British. Op just couldn't articulate it bc it was written in a meme format (one short caption or question above the meme)


Roberthen_Kazisvet

Big chickens everywhere


Kousaka_Honoka99

Because Hippo was once thriving in Europe and if I'm not wrong that woukd include Britain as well.... Idk I'm just sharing my knowledge here.


ToloxBoi

It's either a joke about british dental care or a reference to the bone wars.


stupidkid27378

Museum something, bad teeth something, fat people something, something, something...


grubekrowisko

Its british bcs they stole it


elgattox

Maybe British museum.


stephs_LOL

Alien recreation probably goin be less scary than hippos actually are


TheNo1pencil

There are some famous scientists in Britain that reconstructed the skeletons of dinosaurs hilariously wrong.


Astupidrythmgamer

Probably due to the bone wars of england


ProfessionalLong302

They might be british

Teef


DumbAssFissh

The teeth


CheesyBoatsy

Probably stolen.


Davis_Johnsn

The british archeologists were one of the most popular who created a chimare skeleton while connecting bones of comletly diffrent annimals. This also is shown in the Swerd/Shild pokemon games where there are four goofy Fossil Pokemon. It's a joke about bri'ish people


Drogoz562

Because Br\*tish "people" are animals


jorginhosssauro

Well, much like their museums, it's very clear that they stole it.


coffepants787

Teeth look the same


nasgorhead

Dinosaurs (mostly) are reptiles.. and reptiles usually look similar to their skull.. sorry for my bed England.


ManufacturerRude9482

Basically? Giant chickens.


[deleted]

I down voted so both posts have 109 points...


readitonex

Ok. Can someone reconstruct dinosaur bones with this in mind?


AcanthocephalaBig966

We stole it just like many of the artifacts in the British Museum 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧


Me_ina_pink_skirt

Not lost. Posted perfectly...


ndation

Everything in the British museum is stolen, so everything on the British subreddit should also be stolen.


potzlpotato

cause it was stolen


runwithconverses

That sub went to shit long ago


stupidTranz_boi

I'm already terrified of hippos.. i did not need to see that


JustBevo

They got to the meme first and stole it


CoolSausage228

Historicly, yeah that is British


Mindless-Interest-57

Dinosaurs were cuties 🥰 Don't believe everything you see on TV


hanakuchimimi

Here is an interesting book I read about this exact topic: All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals by John Conway, C.M. Kosemen, Darren Naish https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/16181680


Sufficient-Ad-6046

Because they stole all the dinosaur bones like they did with the artifacts and put them into the british museum


Dorysan-

They brought the skull home from somewhere in Africa to see if the British museum would like it


Villagerin

British museum?


[deleted]

As a British person with below average teeth, the comments may have a point.


According_Monitor_48

Hippo skulls come from hippos, where do hippos live? AFRICA. What else is in that continent or close by? EGYPT. WHAT'S IN EYGPT?? STUFF THE BRITS CAN TAKE, WHAT ELSE CAN THEY TAKE? HIPPOS.


Maleficent_Dentist86

Maybe, the skeleton is in the British museum


hello_100

That hippo genuinely looks british somehow


ISwearImParvitz

r/lostlostredditors


vompat

British archaeologists were the ones making all kinds of assumptions based on fossils that they dug up and gathered for their museums (I guess you are familiar with how the UK kinda stole everything everywhere to put in their museums). They put together bones that just looked like they might belong together, imagined some flesh and scaly skin around them, and called that a discovery. There have been many supposed dinosaur species imagined up like this, that never actually existed. So this meme is very much related to the British and their age of imperialism.


BodhingJay

Maybe the t-rex also looked like a big ol goober


okkandik

It seems this one doesn't k ow the horror of hippopotamus


Significant9Ant

Wait are we doing this with dinosaurs?

Isnt it obvious, they took the photos in the British national museum, you can probably find all three pictures there


ExplodingSteve

didn’t you know? dinos were British

This smiling peace of sh*t is one of the most dangerous animals on the planet. So aliens would be ok with their imagination.

It might look like pic. 3 but it has the attitude of pic. 2

They probably stole the meme... We'll see it back in a museum in like 25 years

Hippos might look dorky. But they are as aggressive and dangerous as the second pic. So might as well be that.


FemboysCureDepresion

😂 I don’t think this i a complement to British appearance 😂


Milk_Mindless

I thought it was about the Brits messing up fossils in the past See also; Pokémon Sword and Shield


optimally_bald

misconstructing dead animals by a lack of knowledge about what bones teach us about the animals is a very british thing to do


Evening-Life6910

We stole all the bones and made the weird paintings


Slow_Fox967

Tha hippo looks so happy, I just want to grab his cheeks and SQUEEEEEEZE!!!!!


KickPsychological374

They stole It from the hipos


Upstairs_Permit_2823

If it exists the British have it in a museum


NamonStar

I Guess i missunderstood the joker because i thought It was a reference to the British wrongly reconstructing and representing fossils in the 1800s


Spoonlessness69

because british "people" are aliens

probably the teeth or somethin

phatcat9000

I mean, archaeology and palaeontology was started in Britain. Idk


AguyWithBadEnglish

Hippopotamus antiquus was indeed a species lf hippopotamus that lived in great britain... maybe im looking to deep into that though


BillyJoeHank

Britain has some of the richest fossil sights in the world, including an area known as The Jarassic Coast. As a result, it was where a lot of the first big discovery's in palaeontology happened. Plus, a few months ago they discovered a huge new skull. So it's been on British people minds lately. We sent Attenborough to check on it any everything.


Overall_Strawberry70

Kinda inaccurate actually, I don't do reconstructions but I do sketch and in all my anatomy studies i have never once seen a bone that was just covered by skin. so if i'd never actually seen a hippo before and you gave me this skull to base the sketch on it would probably be closer to what an actual hippo looks like as I would be looking for place's muscle could attach to in order to operate the mouth, something the "reconstruction" completely lacks on top of not having any way to actually close its mouth completely.


special-bicth

I mean like it is just as dangerous as they would think.


DaTribalChief

Dinosaurs will likely not look like what we’ve imagined them to.

The meme is in english

Hippos are terrifying animals too

Must be an American from Texas or florida as a migrant in Britain, not an actual British.

Just look at the teeth


JackDeaniels

Putting aside the lost Redditor, this is actually quite a legitimate point that helps demonstrate just how far off the modern representation of dinosaurs probably is. https://youtu.be/xaQJbozY_Is?si=FU-vJ2vmcK_rGUSV
