I ate a too hot omelette and burnt the roof of my mouth again.
Now it feels sensitive and fragile, again.
Why did we as a species, whom are omnivores, develop such thin mouth roofs?
Hippos can crush entire watermelons with their mouths, why didn’t we get a tough inner roof.


It’s probably an advantage. You want your mouth to hurt so you stop there rather than damaging something more internal like your throat or stomach.
☹️ I can’t deny that is pretty true
