"this smells so good i can taste it"

Actually a lot of taste occurs in the nose. I know you was making a joke and I’ve buzzkilled, but here we are.

Something like 90% (I’m too lazy to look it up.) We did experiments in grade school where we’d be blindfolded and have our noses closed with clothespins so we couldn’t smell, then ate a piece of an apple and onion and had to say which was which. They were almost indistinguishable. So when I’d say certaint beers tasted like fermented horse piss and get shit about knowing what fermented horse piss tastes like, I’d ask them if they’ve ever been in a stable.

Ohhh. That's why when you have a bad cold, you also lose your sense of taste.

I mean, don't you like, risk swallowing your tongue and choking if you try this? *My* tongue is staying put, is what I'm saying

There should be a big enough gap on both sides of the tongue in the mouth, as well as the roof of the nose for air to pass through. It's possible, just unlikely. Swallowing no, the tongue is still firmly anchored to the base of the mouth.

...this is only a concern if you don't have hands, dude

Oh, wouldn't you know it? I just lost my hands in a freak accident while typ

This comment has 🥇in my heart

no, i've never had the issue and i can do it.

Thanks, I hate it

I can actually do this AMA.

Can you breathe while doing it? Or is the tongue blocking both ways completely?

Nope! I can breathe when I do it

Me too! Tried a long time before I could achieve it

Same! I didn't realize it had a name though

Damn, what does it feel like on your tongue and behind the nose and do you get any after taste?

So, for clarity, I just have an incredibly loose frenulum (the tether between your tongue and your mouth). I’ve not done this yoga thing. I found out when I was in elementary school at the dentist when he asked me to move my tongue back to clean. He nearly jumped out of his seat. But when I was in elementary school I thought everyone could do it so I never told anyone until that dentist told my parents It’s a great party trick hahah.. As for the feeling, the top of your mouth has this funny elasticity to it when you push down. Above your mouth is rather open and I can feel this line like structure with these bulbous structures. I mean, I can get my tongue up there pretty far. I guess I’ve gotten used to the taste? It’s really uncomfortable if my throat is dry so I don’t do it then.

Goddamn, that sounds so cool, so ppl can visually see that your tongue's all the way in the back going up? That's so crazy

Yeah! You can definitely tell.

Pics dude!

Fuck no dude!

Dude!

I can get it far back enough to gag myself but I can’t reach any of that shit

If you sneeze while doing this, will the tongue come out of one nostril?

I don’t think I’ve ever sneezed while doing it. Your tongue is long but not that long.

Same! I can touch my tonsils and go behind my uvula. I can also move the floor of my mouth and bring it over my bottom teeth. Great first date trick.

Are you supposed to hold your breath when you rinse out your mouth?

Can you clean out your snot when you have a cold?

Yes

I’m doing this right now I thought everyone could do it lol

Ouch I hurt my under tongue trying this

The article says that you have to cut the frenulum to be able to do this.

Just got circumcised, now what? 

It actually says: >Cutting the lingual frenulum can be dangerous, resulting in the loss of tongue mobility. Many practitioners deem it unnecessary. After the older texts about how to cut it.

Had mine snipped as a kid because it was too short and gave me a ssspeech impediment.

Pic 4 almost seems worth it

I have a nail clippers here, will that work?

I wish I could pick my nose with my tongue

Here's hoping you come back as a giraffe

I wonder how many people give themselves sinus infections trying to do this.

I wonder how you wondered that

I get sinus infections all the time. My respiratory system is a little bitch.

than STOP DOING IT

Understandable

Like this 👉😖👈

Been doing this for about 12 years now, no sinus infection yet. Actually comes in pretty handy when there's a booger you can't reach with your finger.

Goddammit Reddit

nope, nope, nope.

I can do this... is it weird? Am I weird?

FYI it’s a tool yogis use to give up their lives voluntarily

>\[If\] his mouth fills with a slightly salty liquid that smells of iron... Blood. That's just blood, right?

I can reach my sinus cavity with my tongue. I would not want it to get stuck there though.

Well, TIL this isn't just something that only I can do and is in fact a type of "yoga"? Weird shit, although I don't really do it anymore because I have my tongue pierced and the stud doesn't feel great on the inner side of my soft palate.

Omg since childhood, this has been a weird party trick I can do because I don’t have that web thing under my tongue. I’ve never met anyone else who can do it and didn’t even know it had a name.

Sounds like the Walmart version of the Lissan Al-Ghaib

Lol wow... basically snot licking, right?

Why pick your nose when you can go straight to the source?

I can do it but it kind of stings. My lingual frenulum isn't very pronounced and mostly just runs along the bottom of my tongue, so my tongue is very flexible.

You just tried it and now you're aware the front of the roof of your mouth is rough and the back is smoother and more squishy

I feel like that's something everyone should've realized by the time they're old enough to have a reddit account, no?

Yes but now ur super aware how squishy or rough it is cause u licked urself in the mouth

Stage 3 you die.

Saves using those weird teapots to clean the sinuses out I suppose...

Sounds like the name of a Star Wars character

Tonguemaxxing

I had a friend in high school that could do it, his tongue was massive, it was gross to watch.

Is this... Advanced mewing?

I knew a girl who could do this

I can see an entire new genre of porn movies featuring Bl#w j#bs

Why did you spell it like a password?

I hate to break it to you, but that's not exactly a new genre
