Hate the ratsphere all you want no one generates ludicrous discourse like we do
@sesquipedalian-thaumaturge thanks for the explanation
A rationalist-adjacent startup recently started to sell a genetically modified mouth bacteria that produces alcohol instead of lactic acid, so it doesn't cause cavities, and kills off the existing mouth bacteria that does. The amount of alcohol it produces is low enough not to matter for most people, but if you have a particular mutation that's more common among Asians it could increase your risk of mouth cancer.
