I was taught to put my tongue* on the roof of my mouth and even had braces specifically to make me do that? Am I going mad? Is my life a lie? Is this just fantasy, caught in a landslide

Having your tongue against the roof of your mouth at rest is 100% the "correct" way to store your tongue. This actually influences how your teeth, jaw, and facial bones grow

That's exactly what I was thinking. My tongue rests on the roof of my mouth, to pull it back takes more effort. In fact, as I open my mouth my tongue sticks to the roof a little, then pops away - there's like a vacuum seal holding it there, effortlessly.

No escape from reality, tongue belongs up top. I went thru a similar thing.

I heard it has to do with what your primary language is. Different languages have different default mouth positions and so speakers of different languages end up with different muscles developed over time.

Yes. I took Mandarin for a while and would practice at my favorite Chinese restaurants in town with the staff. They all remarked on how they keep their tongue on the bottom of their mouth. One older woman actually said it went back to Confucianism, and how that was better for the electrical circuit of the body, or something.

Maybe they mean excess force?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website -1 points 11 months ago

I believe your tongue is typically supposed to be in the middle of your mouth when at rest.

Well gee now I don’t know what to do with my tongue perhaps I should unzip it and store it in a pouch until I need it next x

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

i want to throw it at things and see if you can stil ltaste them

[-] casmael@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah you can get it to work wirelessly but you’ll need a dongle to get low enough latency for it to be worthwhile,
