Dentist: "Do you floss daily?"
Me: "Do you backup your data daily?"
@fribbledom uno reverse question card !
@fribbledom Dentist: "No, but my teeth won't rot if I don't do a backup."
(BTW I agree that flossing daily is too often.)
@underlap @fribbledom Wait what?? Isn't the usual recommendation to floss 3x per day? (That's my dendists recommendation and that's what I've learned as a kid.) I mean I barely get to 2x per day, but... not even once?
@tobtobxx @fribbledom I think the jury is out: e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36962667
@underlap
Studies say a bunch of stuff; I have empirical experience that people who do floss have better teeth, and I'm one of those who doesn't do it...
@tobtobxx @fribbledom
@fribbledom I foss daily
dentist: i just want you to have good bites
@fribbledom : same
@fribbledom Don't believe you said it. It would be foolish to say that to someone who can easily cause you a lot of pain., right?

@Twelve water flossers are the new wetness @fribbledom
@fribbledom Your dentist shouldn’t need to ask, they should know by looking.
@fribbledom many dentists use practice management software that do in fact backup their files to the cloud every day 😅
FaaS - floss as a service
@fribbledom @pd FSaaSS - Free Software as a Service Substitute
@pd @fribbledom Then I'm totally calm. What should happen to personal and health data when there's a backup in the CLOUD?
@fribbledom so you both could learn from each other lmao
@fribbledom @brion Both, twice daily. Do I get a badge?
@fribbledom Me: do you use different passwords for every account?
@fribbledom dentists pulls out YOUR ssd
@fribbledom That's a very good one...
Blood drips from my gums
Cruel sadist stabbing with glee
Floss or face their wrath
@MundaneHaiku
Either you're using too thick floss or not flossing regularly
If you floss regularly the bleeding will stop after a few days
@fribbledom
@fribbledom Yes and Yes.
But make it quick...

@fribbledom
The dentist certainly has a drawer full of backup teeth...
@fribbledom@mastodon.social only backup i really need is for my hobby OS project.
everything else i'm not really going to care if it gets nuked and i have to start from complete scratch.
@fribbledom Uh. I can smell the burn from here.
