Ask Lemmy

Hey, my thumb's like that but it's cause I chopped a bit off with a machete.

I have single transverse palmar crease on my other hand. It's estimated to occur in around 1,5-3% of people, so that's pretty interesting I guess

Life has given me many scars, and there's a story behind every single one. Often mountain bikes were involved

Like that one time we were drinking at friend's place, and I fell and hit my hand on his bike's brake disc 😅

I have a dent in my shin bone from a really big hit that didn't quite manage to break it. It's visible if you look close. I also feel rapid temperature/pressure changes there.

"My shin bones screamin', I figure a storm's coming"

My right pinky is severely bent at the topmost joint. It made learning the piano somewhat challenging, since the pinky sometimes "locks" itself if I try to extend my fingers too much. And if it does, I have to do a little wiggle movement to release it painlessly. If I try to force it, it makes a very loud snap and it hurts for a second.

Otherwise it has not affected my life in any way.

And I can make goose bumps / make my body hair rise up at will. It only lasts a few seconds every time, but it did make for a fun party trick when I was younger and a very hairy guy.

I fell off my bike on my way to school and ended up scraping up both of knees. My right knee taking most of the damage, need stitches but I didn’t know any better, as well as, Usa healthcare being so expensive I didn’t bother going to the hospital. That wound open up whenever I bend that knee a bit too much, like going up the stairs or walk too fast, I had to limp on left leg and drag my right leg to avoid opening the wound again. It took months but eventually it healed. Now, the scar is forever on my right knee and just a minor eyesore. It looks bruised and smooth than regular skin. Also, because of that fall, whenever I bend my right knee, I can see a slight protruding bone bump. Doesn’t hurt though.

My left foot is UK size 8 and my right foot is UK size 9.

My mom pierced my tragus (both sides), with a starter stud, with no gun. It took quite a while, probably 5 minutes per ear. Hurt like hell. I think I ended up putting in 8ga acrylic plugs, which I think caused the cartilage split all the way to the edge of each tragus. Being a rambunctious 16 year old, the piercings got bumped too hard, and ripped out. This caused the tragus to split in half, and it healed that way.

This was 20+ years ago.

I can deliberately crack my joints by clenching my fists.

I can snap with my right hand all day, but for some reason, my left hand just never gets the appropriate sound to come out.

My left sinus cavity is slightly larger than my right one, but my right one has a smoother curve

I can bend the top part of my thumbs 90 degrees backwards. It freaks people out when I do it. It doesn't feel odd or anything.

My pinky fingers are curved sideways towards my rong fingers. They're like little banana fingers. They also don't bend easily. Despite that I'm still a pretty decent clarinet player, but I always play the mid c# on the left instead of the right so I don't have yo bend my pinky.

The pinky finger on my right hand has 4 lines instead of 3. No extra joint so it folds normally, there’s just an extra line.
