One day short of April's fools!

Or is it a timezone thing (The sun doesn't set over English empire, so no point waiting for tomorrow)?

Or, is this a real Government website and I am just being cynical?

This is remarkably adorable :) Check the tooth colours in dark mode though, "white" is very much not white (it's black).

Ah how have you set dark mode? I haven't got a dark theme via prefers-color-scheme or anything so whatever is setting it might just be brute-forcing white to black or something. I'll fix it if I can!

I suppose they’re using https://darkreader.org/ or something like that!

If you implement dark mode yourself, you can add `` to prevent Dark Reader from triggering.

Ooh! Perfect opportunity to ask a question I’ve definitely not spent an inordinate amount of time wondering about without bothering to look for an answer! Is maths in British English plural? Like, should that be “the maths say”?

It's always "maths" not "math" but we'd always say "the maths says" and I've never questioned it until right now

Thanks! Now I have more questions, but they're better. This is good progress.

This note has horrifying implications. Did the tooth fairy go spelunking in your stomach and/or intestine? Are they sieving your sewer pipes for teeth just in case? They must really want those teeth bad .

It's less nefarious than that. Every tooth contains a government-installed tracker.

That's no more comforting to imagine. Possibly less so.
