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.
Oh wow. Does that mean you have an extra vertebra ? have you ever checked ?
Yup! Bonus, all the extra gear at the top shoved everything down and caused problems at the bottom:

When that became a problem, it was the worst pain I ever experienced. Was fine one day, woke up convinced my spine was broken and that I could feel the broken ends grinding against each other.
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.
Prove it
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.
This is my left ring finger. None of my other fingers bend like that. 🤷🏻♂️
My big toes give a thumbs up. They are the reason why most shoes won’t fit. That, and that my feet are shortl but wide.
I can give thumb up too
Why does your foot look like a Monty Python illustration?
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.
😮
ah, my 10 seconds of fame. Here it is : I am slightly allergic to eggplant and tuna
amazing
The dent in my fucking head where a doctor saved my life I guess. That & the sensitive skin around it.
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.
What will you do if you overcompensate?
They’ll circle back to this question later
My left eye is like half the size of my right eye I guess.

My left foot is UK size 8 and my right foot is UK size 9.
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 can produce rumbling sound inside my ears
- I have extra pair of teeth
Can do the rumbling sound too. Can also wiggle ears. I can also make the air smell funny.
Does the funny smell come… From your… ears?
I never got my wisdom teeth removed and everything fits fine. Do you have an extra set of teeth on top of that??
They didn’t come out yet, but yeah. I have 9th top tooths, not bottom tho. I did find out twice. I had xray but forgot about it after the first time.
I can do it to. Selectively by ear. This article seem to consider it highly unusual
but from the last time I saw this skill making the internet rounds, it’s not entirely unusual, as far as I can remember. It had comorbidity with easily being startled or something as well. If you are curious, a few minutes of search or AIing should have the correct information.
Oh, there’s one ! I can sweat out of the palms of my hands on demand (both palms and fingertips actually). It’s not a lot of sweat, but enough to turn the pages of a dry book easily
I wish I could do this in reverse. My palms always be sweatin’.
Check! Maybe you’re spiderman/spiderthem!
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 sizable birthmark on my back that grows thick hair (the surrounding skin does not).
Do you have a pilonidal cyst?
(I learned from last time I brought this up: if not, don’t Google it. It’s a gross body thing.)
From a quick google, no. The mark is halfway up my back. I have had this mark my whole life. It grew (even relative to my size) during childhood. It stopped growing when I did. I had it inspected multiple times. It is apparently benign. It started growing hair during puberty
I don’t mean to suggest that you do - I’m nowhere near knowledgeable enough to do so. However, from my inexpert knowledge, nothing you said contests the possibility.
Apparently a birthmark on your lumbar region can be indicative of a pilonidal cyst, not a problem itself. They’re genetic. The cyst happens (from my very limited knowledge based only on having experienced it) when your tailbone doesn’t close fully and hair on your buttcheeks grows across the gap, collecting in the resultant opening in your spine.
I hope you don’t have one! Mine was no fun to remove.
edit: I missed the first time reading your comment that you said it was halfway up your back. From my understanding that’s not common for the affliction I described. I apologize for making assumptions.
I did look up pictures, and I have experienced nothing like that. Thanks for the new fear, though! Cheers!
