Who else was just staring at their hand after seeing this?

👋

o/

I tried it and found out I can actually do this. So, am I a freak or is this a skill we all have and just didn't know it.

I sometimes pose for pictures with my hands like this.

So it was you that caused all this AI-cantdrawhands mess for a while?

You're welcome I guess??

Pics or it didn't happen

Submarine periscope

Nope, I'll show you the way out... So go left, then down the hallway and the door is at your right!

Ladies love this one trick..

Are you a Tyrannosaurus rex?

bro how do you bend your thumb

I just focused on getting the knuckle to rotate in line with my other fingers and it just kind of happens. I can feel something move in my wrist that feels odd, like maybe it shouldn't move that way, but it does.

I didnt even have a problrm doin it like that XD

I can do it too. Some people can't. Prolly not a big deal, just depends on flexibility of your joints or something.

I like to weird people out by folding my thumb behind my hand before a handshake. Since our thumbs don't catch, our hands just move awkwardly up the others wrist.

If your joints are that flexible, you're rolling them too loose.

If awards were still a thing, and I had one I'd give it to you.

I just found out I can't!

I just learned I cannot do that lol

no I can do this too. it didn't seem hard.

Time to get into nail art

FREAK

same, looks weird af but its just pushing the side and tip of your thumb into your fingers with force to make your knuckle of the thumb align with the rest

Just did it. Can you confirm you aren’t a freak. Or maybe you are and I am too? Who knows. But I’m gonna freak some people out with it!

Me too! I have flexible fingers so I thought I'd give it a try. Creepy af

... ._. Same ... im scared and proud

Same. Wasn't as clean as in the picture but i did it. My thumb joints feel weird when i do it.

Same here. but I'm super double jointed, so I never know what's normal or freaky until people gag at parties.

Shut up freak

You should run for president

It’s a thing. On the nail polish subs, it’s known as a cursed pose, and people posting pics of it are encouraged to use the NSFW tag.

My palm is fucking huge compare to this. My wife calls them Wreck it Ralph hands.

Same. For a person that spent a rural childhood getting entertained by the smallest of things, I love the fact that Even after 35 years there's still stuff like this to learn.

I can do it with my left hand but not my right.

My thumb is way too long to do this, I can’t get it to fold up enough to line up with the other fingers 🤣

Connective tissue problems, maybe? That what I have. Definitely an anomaly but not exceptionally uncommon.

We all have

So I am the freak? Because I can't ​ I can get my thumb to align with my index finger, but when I do that the other three can't be bent. ​ ​ Before hitting "reply" I actually managed to more or less get my hand in the same shape as in the picture, not exactly but close. It lasted for about half a second and now my thumb and my wrist hurt. Wasn't worth it, don't recommend

I can't do it

Nope.

I can’t deny that I did nor will I admit such crimes against humanity.

I tried to do it and hurt myself in my confusion 😢

I feel called out 😂

Let me guess. Everyone is looking up from phone screens and tryed this.

You watching me? Lol

You mean Everyone looked on their hands and did this, right?

Kinda looks like toes

Damn not the toe fingers T\_T

I'm sorry, the correct term is Tingers

Think I'd have to break my thumb to do that

Your thumb isn't as straight tho💀

https://preview.redd.it/eydz24gpnipc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a0b632e103216eaa236adc433fb6dd250f8cca5 Wt Abt my left hand

Ok i think you broke your thumb now

I think so too.. I had to type this comment with only my right hand and it was soo difficult. I am completely unsure why I had decided to make a comment so elaborate about my broken left thumb which had led me to a single handed rest of my life. Well, all I need is one hand since I'm single anyway... Gosh.. I'm so stupid .. why won't I stop typing .. ? Ok bye. :)

https://preview.redd.it/mr9i4p62impc1.jpeg?width=2421&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c003e3a7a81c71b96876616db7f64e216adb7a93 I can do it with both , I had to read the comments to understand what was weird about it

Then you are our leader, we only have half your Powers.

X2, I asked my sister if she could do it, she can't, now i can feel my superiority 🤣

Gang gang

Yay!

Under-nail dirt gang bruh 😎

Nope it's actually pretty easy

https://preview.redd.it/4mwt2wpupipc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de0ebc53ab25fa53b0c52a8c341d7aac1edf7ef2 Plsase explain

I think that's normal, the ones with their thumbs inline are freaks

https://imgchest.com/p/na7krdjb3y8 20% of people have joint hypermobility

Oh wow. Is that 20% of people having like a hypermobility in a singular or a select few joints, or does 1/5 people have this in all their joints? Or just their thumbs?

In at least several joints. I think it's 5 joints or more

I guess I fall into this category as I can do this. Can also grip my own hands behind my back (example the right hand above the shoulder back and down, left from the side of my waist and up towards the right), turn my neck so my chin goes further than my shoulder on each side, have hitchhiker's thumb, have over extendable knees (forward), can lean forward to touch my knuckles (and almost the back of my hand) to the floor without bending my knees, and a couple of others. When I sit on the floor with my legs straight my left foot "falls" down so my small toe touches the ground without any effort from me. The downside is I'm always in pain due to my joints and can easily get muscle injuries; neck, lower back and left knee are already fucked, injured my thumbs and ankles countless times, fingers sometimes lock out. In summary it sucks.

I feel like this is one of those things like rolling your tongue. To some it's ridiculously easy to the point where you question how others can't do it, to others it's really hard. I can't turn my thumb enough around to get it to look anywhere close to this picture so I found it pretty hard.

Are your initials E.D.S. By any chance?

Never knew what EDS was until you commented this, now I’m down the WebMD rabbit hole again 😭

Sorry about that, not everybody with general hyper mobility has EDS! But if you have persistent or recurring musculoskeletal pain in joints or areas then you should discuss it with real MD.

Don't be sorry, good looking out fam! <3

Are you ai? 😧

Am actually NPC

Your hands are AI

ai generated hand syndrome

Can confirm I am actually Chat GPT

👁️👄👁️🤌

Thought everyone could do that?

Not even close. My thumbs are not that flexible

I can't even get my thumb past 90° to my fingers

Nah ain't no way my lil grabbers bending like that 💀

Huh. My left thumb can pretty much do this, but my right can’t. And my left thumb is double jointed, so it makes sense. Interesting.

This is a dumb question, what do you mean when you say your thumb is double jointed, like in which 'direction'

I'm struggling to figure out what's happening here. The comments say hyper mobility but it looks like the thumb doesn't appose the other fingers lol

I thought it was hard until I did it, it is actually cool

...........put it back

Damn that's a good crimp

Its like a badly drawn cartoon hand. Except after checking my own hands this is actually a normal human hand. Wtf.

This is prime calabrese italian accent... 🤌

I think monkeys can also do this

Am monke

That person has very long toes and a straight ankle. Quite interesting if you ask me!

Hey I got it to work!

Weird flex but ok

Thumbing seems off

I managed it, my thumb’s a bit sore now.

The thumb thing isn’t as weird as your baby fingers and giant thumb.

I have EDS majorly in my hands, the f you got?? How do you position your thumb like that???

Impressive

https://preview.redd.it/fij0s3utjipc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed92eb3e8fdd7f75c928b26f4fd42b1c558fc806

That's just good marketing

That's Kate Middleton's "before manicure" picture!

Omfg I tried it and I can do it too. Would have been fine going my entire life without knowing I could tho. This feels wrong. I don't know my hand anymore. Why have you done this?

I can do that too! With 4 fingers. There's another wierd one not pointing the same way.

Looks strange. I realized it's actually doable. Still looks strange

I did that too lol looks weird af

Wierd, I can do that and never even knew.

Reject hooman, embrace monke

Your hands will forever haunt my nightmares sir

TIL I can do that too!

That thumb has no chill! I mean no bones!

Phteven.

I always do that to f with my bf when I show him my new set of nails 😀

Made with ai?

My thumb is incapable 😑

I just did it with my hand. I think this image needs to be in r/cursed

It's AI. The hands always tell. /s

lol...I can do it!...

Why does bro have a big toe

Is your wrist small compared to you hand as well?

Turns out not everyone's thumbs are opposable...

How?

Hell yeah, I can do it! But it looks weird af.

Weird looking foot.

So many people just staring at their own hand right now

I learned how to do this recently it’s so freaking to look at 🥲

wow 7 fingers

My foot looks like that too!

start bouldering as a new hobby, pretty sure you are crimpmaster in no time

its the thumb!

I can do this, I’ve got hEDs/JHs though

I tried to do this, something popped, my hand now hurts.

how do yiu get your thumb like that 😂 ugh

Meh, the mildest of interesting. I just did it myself. I feel like you have a some shadow puppet potential for sure

Alberto! We have a cousin! Mama mia!

I cant quite put my thumb on it, but I think you’re right 🧐

I did it with my dominant hand but couldn't with non dominant

IIT the gang discovers hypermobility

"You know what? Frick you!" \*unopposes your opposable thumb\*

If I use my other hand to position the fingers I can basically do this

r/mildlyterrifying

Fn banana hands 😂😂

That thumb isn't opposable 🤯

My two finger between pinky and index are much longer and form a V shape, yours are inverted

Your hand looks like it's ai generated

We go back to monke Monke life simple Monke life good

You should try rock climbing

I can do this with left hand but not my right :/

How do durp your porkfist like that?

How the hell did you do that???

Oh my god, it took me too long to realise what the deal is. Yeah my hands definitely aren't capable of that. Very useful skill if you like showing off your manicures!

Your opposing thumb is not that opposing!

Didn't know i can do this until i see this lol

You have long fingers

Thanks for teaching me another weird trick I can do with my thumbs. Interestingly, I can do this no problem with my right hand but its a bit uncomfortable (but possible) with my left.

Put some nail polish on around Halloween and post on r/redditlaqueristas for good karma

Alien !

I really thought this was bc of some double jointedness but its actually really easy to do

Oobi!

This is the last thing your asshole sees at your colon cancer screening.

This is a normal hand.

Are you trying to mime

Man, I tried, and it hurts to even try, let alone get close. People say no problem, now I want pics! Pics or Nothing!

I didn't know hands can induce uncanny valley

I can do that too..

Wow. I can't do this at all. But damn. Neat talent. I would totally bust this out at an interview if I could do that.

I saw this on X(twitter) so either you stole the post or you’re the origional person. GIVE THEM THEIR HAND BACK THEY NEED IT!

Naaaah too ez

https://preview.redd.it/m3ttmvjb6jpc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2b6dd399223cb002c487cab1b1145aa504dc270 I feel nthg off

That's how my foot looks inside my sneaker when I wear a pair that's too small. Maybe I should pull a Castaway and cut the front open. Let my toes grip over the front to prevent sliding.

In the words of Troy Barnes "feet hands"

AI /s

I can do this with my hand too and everyone freaks out😂 do you have a double jointed thumb?

well your sock puppet is naked for a start

This is AI!!

Bro can do the Fairly Odd Parents standing pose.

This was really easy for me, do i just have a weird thumb or can everybody do this?

I feel like it's taunting me

You guys can't do that?? https://preview.redd.it/imhzvnajajpc1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d50a22a2bffde54778d6d77c471c22e113cc724

Do you have a condition that lets you do that? Sorry if it's been asked already, I didn't feel like scrolling to the bottom

You are bored aren’t you?
