What are some words that seem weird when you think about them a lot

I've always been fascinated how the English language has limited actual mouth movements. We use "voiced" and "unvoiced" sounds to make our speech more efficient. Examples:
-J is the same as Ch. First is voiced, second not
-D is the same as T
-B and P
-Z and S
-G and K
-Th is voiced at the beginning of a word and unvoiced at the end. Thumb vs teeth
Am possibly too blazed— or maybe your guys accent is even more hardcore than i currently imagine,....coz ya got me tripppin—specifically on:

-¿Thumb vs teeth?

Which do ya "voice"?

😂Been trying different variations yet none sound right when "voicing" either,...
...butt eye am known to go total retard quite often, sew there's that.

What i'm sorta guessing you've described, is like how(*unless mistaken) pronunciation of the word;
-' thunder' can be both "voiced" & "unvoiced", aye?
