One of the benefits on not being on monetized social media like Tiktok is I never heard about Turkey teeth until reading this news article:

Explainer:
The Mirror - ‘Turkey teeth’ are leaving Brits toothless and in pain but UK dentists can’t help
(TL;DR: British users of Tiktok & Instagram are travelling to Turkey to get cosmetic dentistry to achieve “that grammable look” on the cheap. Often there are negative consequences like chronic pain & infections, and treatment is not covered by the NHS because these geniuses chose to fuck their teeth up.)
Of course, rap group Goldie Looking Chain got there before me with a hilarious track about Turkey teeth.
Totally unrelated to Turkey teeth
But it always entertains me when I run across bbc articles that involve large amounts of money.
Because then, when they say something like “thousands of pounds in cash” referring to cash, I get to imagine it as the unit of weight instead of number of bills, which is a far more humorous image. A bunch of bobbys opening a boot to where the car is riding low to the ground from the massive amounts of money in it.
Edit: obviously I’m not a brit, elsewise the pound as a currency wouldn’t stand out as much
