sorry for the bad quality, my phone is bad up close
I hit my pinky finger real bad while hammering a nail when I was a kid, it broke off some of the skin but when it grew back it kinda has a divit in it. Doesn’t hurt or cause issues in any way but it’s just kinda a interesting part about my body that’s unique and I probably wouldn’t fix if given the chance.
I’ve come to love these little inconstancies that shows that a body has been used for fun and living, scars with a story are really sweet.
Extra pair of ribs, which was fun at trivia one night…
“How many pairs of ribs do human beings have?”
“Well, first you need to know I have 13 pairs of ribs, that being said, human beings have 12 pairs of ribs.”
Neat. And thanks to Marilyn Manson, we’re still on target to maintain an average of 12 pairs of ribs pp
Do you know that Marilyn Manson got his bottom ribs removed so he could suck other guys’ dicks
It doesn’t sound like it makes sense, but if you know, you know!
That’s an urban legend. He actually got them removed so God could make him two wives and he could suck their dicks.

Fun Christian bone trivia:
The “Adam’s rib” myth is obviously a retcon because even super primative people knew ribs were symmetrical. Hell, back then with less obesity and clothes, ribs were probably pretty obvious.
That’s not even getting into how bones are super obvious after death.
There’s one bone that male humans uniquely don’t have, and is related to why the Romans and Greeks thought a small flaccid penis was the peak of human masculinity.
We don’t have a literal bone in our boners.
A difference that humans would have noticed.
A more accurate translation is the “side” of Adam, with the idea he was made from mud or clay and that part was pinched off as you’d do pottery to make Eve.
This is my left ring finger. None of my other fingers bend like that. 🤷🏻♂️

My unbelievably large penis
That is correct. It is unbelievable. /s
We want to believe but are prepared to accept adequate enough as the most likely and probable scenario.

I get it. Life is hard.
Is there a Lemmy equivalent of /r/BigDickProblems ?
Whenever life gets you down, has you wearing a frown, and the gravy train has left you behind
Have a weird nub of bone protruding from my lower jaw under the tongue. Like a little skin covered spike.
Oh, also have a “hair” (maybe more like a mole?) on each side of my abdomen that when agitated, I get a sharp pain on the inside of the corresponding elbow.

mandibular tori is what this is called. The Xray tech told me to ask my dentist about having it removed and the dentist said it’s a brutal procedure and recovery (literally shaving the bone down) so not to bother unless it’s causing issues.
Huh, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it had a name :P
And yeah, I can’t imagine it to be a comfortable procedure. Sounds way worse than when I got my tonsils out.
I have never met someone else who has tested it, so I don’t know if it’s common or not, but I can blow air out of my tear ducts. When underwater at the pool, it looks like two narrow streams of bubbles rising from the inside corners.
Your tear ducts (and everyone else’s as well) are connected to your nasal cavity. It’s where tears drain and partly why we get runny noses when our eyes are tearing up.
Definitely more unusual to be able to force air the other way, but not impossible. I’ll sometimes do it accidentally if blowing my nose too hard.
You can push liquid through them too. Makes it look like you are crying milk/blood/whatever.
I have decided that this is dating advice.
Neat!
I saw a drag queen use liquid eyeliner on her waterline (you’re not supposed to do that) and it came out her nose lol
Once upon a time, as a kid, I cut myself with a razor leading to this cool scar. I used this scar for a very long time as a way of differentiating between left and right lol
Me OMW to unlock your phone with the fingerprint I just stole.
😮
My left eye is like half the size of my right eye I guess.

Due to a knee surgery many years ago, I have one leg slightly longer than the other & have slightly off kilter walk. A completely unlikely scenario in which I’m stranded in the desert and must walk for help. I fear I may trek for what seems an eternity only to find myself coming full circle. Again most likely will not occur. But if so, I am prepared to account for leg length deficit.
This can result in issues with your vertebrae. At least it did for me. If you experience lumbar pain or weird lower body tingling, act sooner, not later.
I heard everyone does this as one leg is the main leg and thus stronger. Lefties turn to the right, righties to the left or so. So your knee would either even you out or shrink the circle.
I am relieved to know that I am not alone. That said, I need to complain about that old surgery from many years ago. I gotta say, despite all the hazards, the team of surgeons in ‘87 did some absolute bang up job & perhaps several miracles upon moi, yours truly. For this, I am forever grateful and always consider myself quite blessed to be walking slowly but with everyone.
Thats great to hear :) despite all the bad things humans do, some are good. Like saving one the ability to walk. I hope youll have many walkable years left.
The dent in my fucking head where a doctor saved my life I guess. That & the sensitive skin around it.
When I was very young I stuck my index finger in fire, it burnt a chunk of it, so now I only have about half a fingerprint on that finger.
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”
I have a dark spot on one finger that came from my ex wife stabbing me with a pencil.
I’ve got one of these, and I’m pretty sure I found a subreddit about people like us at some point. There are dozens of us. Dozens!

I have 5 spleens.
My left foot is UK size 8 and my right foot is UK size 9.
Do you buy 2 pairs of shoes each time?
No. I just get shoes of UK size 9.
I can’t make my pinky and ring finger touch my other fingers on my left hand. It looks like I’m doing a bad Vulcan impression if I try. I can however make them touch if I bend my fingers. But if they are straight, they flex out to the side. I’ve tried for years to correct it but had no success.
I have that but with my right hand. It makes proper high-fiving difficult and people just assumed I was lying about not being able to close my fingers properly. It’s really validating to hear someone else with a similar issue.
That’s pretty interesting. A shorter-than-typical ligament or something, maybe.
Similarly, my brother can’t make a peace sign because having the pinky and ring finger down causes his middle finger to push forward and he has to physically prop it up to get it in line with his index finger.
