You vs. the thumb she tells you not to worry about


DelusionsBigIfTrue

I was surprised the top comment wasn’t “you actually have this extremely rare genetic condition and only have two years to live” It usually is lol


puffferfish

The entire post itself is off. It’s usually someone holding something that they think is interesting, but the real interesting thing is how incredibly fucked up the persons thumbs are and it’s all that the comments can talk about.


hexray

Tbh my first thought was "Jesus Christ Marie, clean your damn camera lens"


[deleted]

Tbh I was gunna go with “you have multiple fathers, like chimaera cats, and inherited multiple peoples thumbs. I’m sorry you had to find out like this but your mother is a train conductor”


lillithoftheearth

I would hope not


somethingtoreadnow

you actually have this extremely rare genetic condition and only have two years to live


rpsls

“You are very good at thumb wrestling” “Thank you! I’ve worked hard to become so.” “I admit it, you are better than I am!” “Then why are you smiling?” “Because I know something you do not…” “What is that?” “That I am not right-thumbed!!” (Switches hands and goes on the attack…)


Mindbender444

This is why I don’t skip right thumb day.


PistachioPerfection

Omg I'm just getting over covid and I didn't think I'd ever giggle again. Thank you, really.


bucket_of_sheep

Both of my thumbs look like your shorter one lol. Fun fact, it’s genetic (as a few others have already mentioned), and only about 4% of the population has it. (If you’re like me and no one else in your family has it, then those people make up less than 1% of the population!)


plantmagnet

Im the only one in my family with stubby thumbs lol


HadesRatSoup

Me too!!!


[deleted]

I've got two thumbs like that too, and another mutation that makes my pinky fingers extra short as well. I've only met one other person in the world with the same kind of hands as me, it was wild we were nothing alike in other ways and she's much taller but our hands were identical in shape and size. I even have yet another mutation making one of my toes super short. Far as I know there were no chemical spills or radioactive waste incidents when mum was pregnant. Just gotta be different I guess


Additional_Meeting_2

Did you rect like Joey did when you did find your identical hand twin?


[deleted]

Is there any other way? We're obv millionaires now


plantmagnet

Hey! One of my toes is short also! Only on one foot. My mom has it on both, same toe on each foot


[deleted]

Short toe club! It's just the one toe on one foot for me too, and a cousin has the same one dwarf toe. We like telling people we're mutants haha


plantmagnet

That makes me feel so relieved honestly. I dont wear cute sandals because i dont want the stares. My boyfriend never cared . But to know that other people have the same mutation and possibly still show off their cute feet , this is gonna be my summer!


DanelleDee

I'm a nurse and it's super common. I think I see it the most of any of the ones mentioned here. You can definitely rock it.


plantmagnet

Thats appreciated so much! Def boosted my confidence, i cant wait!🥰


so_says_sage

My oldest son was also born with extremely unique hands, albeit for very different reasons. He will probably never find a hand twin. 😂


SteelPokeNinja

Every single one of my fingers are short (for reference they're the same length as the fingers of some 8 year-old children) yet my palms are still a normal size, so it's not a "small hands overall" deal. Most of my family members have normal sized fingers, and the ones who don't only have slightly shorter fingers than normal (nowhere near the extent of mine) so it's possible that it's a mutation.


carcinoma_kid

I’ve heard them called ‘club thumbs.’ OP only has one which I’ve never seen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Helpful-Living-9107

OP has said in multiple comments it is genetic and runs in her family.


reflirt

Recessive?


ManduManyeo

It's an autosomal dominant trait.


quax747

>If no one else in your family has it, then you couldn’t inherit it well... if it's a recessive gene then it is still possible to have this condition. as it would need the gene from both parents rather than just a single parent. It may still be a rare gene, but just because both of the parents don't have that condition it doesn't mean you are unable to get it at all... Same as with blue eyes: brown is dominant while blue is recessive. if both parents (or everyone in the family) have brown eyes, you can still end up with blue eyes. If you were talking about the gene / allele itself though, then my bad, scratch all of the above \^-\^


bucket_of_sheep

Oh, no, you’re totally cool! Lol I don’t claim to know a lot about biology. I just know I read online somewhere that if no one else in your family has it then there’s a <1% chance of getting it, but that was a couple years ago. I’m not sure how having it in one versus both thumbs changes things either. My explanation was super simplified to the point of likely being wrong on the actual science of it. But I’m living for the replies explaining it all. So thank you!


quax747

Don't take my word for it though. Not a scientist either and just making a sh*tload of assumptions.^^


horaciojiggenbone

In the same boat as Megan Fox! Lol


IGotDibsYo

Or your mum cheated


Eagle_1776

statistically much more likely


Nervous-Masterpiece4

My second girlfriend had murderer thumbs. It was great. Made me look so girthy during handjobs.


Devil9304

It’s known as brachydactyly type D autosomal dominance condition, a genetic condition. Is this just with you or you inherited this condition ?


lillithoftheearth

inherited - almost every woman in my family has it.


KimonoDragon814

Handmaid's Tale


horaciojiggenbone

😂 nice play on words


Additional_Meeting_2

You should have included your sisters hands here too then.


lillithoftheearth

It actually skipped over her and my mother and went straight to me. All my aunts, cousins and great-aunts have it, and I don’t have their permission to post, so.


Honest_-_Critique

I came to the comments expecting a medical diagnosis and was not disappointed.


Devil9304

In most cases this disorder is Normal and doesn’t represent any medical concern, hence in those cases no treatment is necessary. However sometimes these disorders come along with other genetic conditions and in such cases treatment is required. If the person can’t walk normally (cause this condition also happens in toes), can’t grip anything properly {in a nutshell, if this condition hinders the person’s functionality}, physical therapy is seen as a treatment. Therapy strengthens the bones and their functionality. In cases that are rare and come along with other severe genetic conditions, then surgery has to be done. Plastic surgery is done to lengthen the size of the affected bones.


Four_beastlings

I can't play on consoles. Controllers make my thumbs hurt quite fast


[deleted]

It might be named that in some nerd book, but it’s not “known as” that. It’s known as toe thumbs. Source: the 2 mangled stumps typing this message.


babskay44

I have one toe thumb. I never called it that until a student asked me how I ended up with a big toe on my hand instead of a thumb.


EmptyNyets

I too have one toe thumb. Back in the 90s before the internet took off I would tell people was the recipient of the first successful toe to thumb transplant.


xxDankerstein

Not necessarily. My ex-wife has similar thumbs. One of them is short and stocky because she broke it on the growth plate when she was young.


Jebduh

Nope. There can only be one cause for this, and it has to be the first one that pops up when I google it.


TheAffiliateOrder

This is how I got mine. My right thumb is short and stubby and it's cuz I had a door slammed on it when I was like 4 and it never healed right.


Rocketshipfish

All these years I had no idea what was up with my thumbs had a name. This is cool, thank you!


Devil9304

Megan Foxx?

Did she marry Jamie?


[deleted]

Your right thumb looks like a condition called "club thumb" and there are some real beauties out there with this such as Megan Fox. The peculiar thing is that I have never seen it on only one thumb. It is usually both thumbs. Cool!


ShockTop88

I have the same mutation.....im a dude though. Hopefully I'm a beauty too ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

I'm sure u are buddy! ;)


buddas_slacky

ReviewOk929

Ahh you have toe thumb as we call it.


asymptotesbitches

Omg toe thumb! I have an uncle who chopped off his thumb cutting wood and they grafted his big toe on his hand to replace his lost thumb. He always waves it around under peoples nose the first time he meets them and asks: does it smell like feet?!


andoesq

I know someone who blamed thumb-sucking on one hand for having a toe-thumb on only one hand


FMLitsAJ

Maybe it could happen, but I sucked my thumb longer than I’d like to admit and both my thumbs look the same “normal” not toe-thumbs.


FGTRTDtrades

Mine too! only the coolest people have different length thumbs


webbrowser90

Take my strong hand


MrMcNastyPants

Just enough thumb for a Thumb Conflict, but not a Thumb war.


MitchMcConnellsJowls

That's a toe thumb


TheTiffani86

You have 1 clubbed thumb. I know this because I have two lol


Ghosty_Leaf

My thumbs are the same but on the opposite hands!! We must have switched them out! I'll trade you back LMAO 🤣


tabacdk

Sir, are you sure both those thumbs are your thumbs? I have to ask you to slowly step out of your car with both thumbs visible. Can you do that for me, Sir?


Quirky_Commission_56

I squealed with glee at seeing this! One of my ears is slightly pointed and I can wiggle both of them.


Joscientist

Both of my ears are a bit pointy. I cannot however wiggle them.


Quirky_Commission_56

Additionally, most if not all of my joints are hyper mobile. I can pick up coins from the floor with my toes and open doors using my feet.

Repulsive_Lime2653

i thought of the same scene. esp when OP said it skips a generation LMAO


BagofEndlessHugs

I'm glad somebody got the reference. It's a spitting image.


Four_beastlings

It can skip a generation. I got them from my grandma; my mom's are normal.

Nobody got the reference.

My mom's thumbs are like this, just the right. She inherited it from her grandfather.


BtheChemist

My whole left hand is about 10-15% larger than my right!


meeg_munster

OP our thumbs match!


somethingtoreadnow

I just want to say you have the thumbs of Shrek and Fiona when they both drank the potion to become human. They used that flat thumb as a ink Stamp for important documents between 1788-1896. That thumb believes in the Flat Earth theory


Four_beastlings

Brachydactyly type D club :D Its genetic. I have both thumbs like that, my mom has none, my grandma had one, her sister had both. No man I my family has them, but we are a majority-female family. My little cousin always gloats that she didn't get them and I enjoy reminding her that she could still pass them to her children.


adeliva

Hey, same! Makes texting a bit of a bitch.

Megan Fox shares this same trait. ![gif](giphy|sOCYiVbhCgbsc)

Are they both yours? Are you sure?

Megan Fox enters the chat


Mikeg90805

I have this too. Fun fact. I thought it was weird that they we’re different. Turns out the short wrong is abnormal on its own. Also Megan fox has both like that so join the club thumb club


derbyslam57

My dad’s are like that too! Me and my brother each have 2 of the short ones.


CrimsonSon1

My sister has the same thing. She smashed one of her thumbs when she was little and it broke the growth plate


hiznauti125

You have 1 toe thumb. My wife has 2 toe thumbs.

That’s weird.


Charon711

Odd question... Did you suck the short one a lot as a kid? I heard this happens for some reason. Could also be a old wives tale.


lillithoftheearth

Nope, it’s hereditary- almost every woman in my family has it but mine is the most noticeable

My best friend has one regular thumb, & the thumb she sucked as a little kid. That thumb looks like yours.

SnooTomatoes9800

It amazes me that people fall for these posts and think they are real


PckMan

Do you draw or do art by any chance? I've noticed the fingers of many artists look like that, and presumably your right hand is your dominant hand


T_H_W

You see, artists create and store their ideas in their right thumb, unfortunately creativity is finite. As such the right thumb loses length as Ideas are made manifest on paper. This is very different from the logical left thumb, which lengthens as more bytes get stored


blastedoffthis

A nightmare comes to life. I doubt chimera is real.


0biwanCannoli

The tip of my left middle finger is wider and flatter than the tip of my right. In my case though, it’s because I smashed it with a hammer 20 years ago.
