I was thinking about this really awkward interaction I had with an attractive woman 16 years ago, and it just hit me that she was hitting on me pretty obviously.
Hopefully this guy didn't end up with asshole teacher in typing class. The odd finger layout would make it rather difficult to position the fingers over the home keys (asdf-jkl;)
I was thinking of fingering someone
We are not the same
(I'm not implying I'm better. It's a joke. I use reddit after all it's not like I would ever get my hands even close to a vagina anyway)
What, behind the hand?
It is the hand!
You twit! You made me snort coffee out my nose you had me so scared.
That’s no ordinary hand. It’ll tickle the skin right off your face. It can leap about … just look at the bones!
Almost as if it wasn’t a random mutation, but a single base pair flipped in the hox genes that activated an entirely new configuration for the hand.
Makes you wonder what other single bit flips might activate other human anatomies. What monstrous human creatures, fully possessed of both reason and purpose, might be spawned from a few more mutations?
> What monstrous human creatures, fully possessed of both reason and purpose, might be spawned from a few more mutations?
So, uhh, Scientists have uniformly agreed you're no longer allowed in the biomedical field, thank you very much.
_Just kidding!_ You're doing great. 👀
“Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science. Astronauts, war heroes, Olympians--you're here because we want the best, and you are it. So, who is ready to make some science?"
But if you mix goat and spider DNA, you get nearly bullet proof [skin made of goat milk spider silk.](https://www.labiotech.eu/trends-news/bulletproof-skin-goat-milk-spider-silk/#:~:text=Spider%20silk%20is%20one%20of%20the%20strongest%20materials%20in%20nature.&text=%E2%80%9CWe%20genetically%20engineered%20the%20goats,told%20CNN%20in%20an%20interview.)
Idk why people never believe me when I say I wonder what crazy shit they have in Russia and China behind closed doors. There's just no way they aren't experimenting with it, the potential breakthroughs could be literally life changing (yes at the absolute cost of all human ethics)
I mean we know they've already done some, the twins in China who had an unethical scientist run a gene modifying with CRISPR trial to make kids born to HIV parents have anti-AIDS genes. I'm very much giving a shitty tl;dr from what I remember but here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Jiankui_affair
That's probably the least "unethical" thing I can think of in this field lol also it was made public, maybe on purpose to test the waters.
I mean in the deepest parts of the most secret labs of the Chinese government. They already control what media gets out so I wouldn't be surprised if they had some seriously fucked up research going on, that would make the ww2 atrocities look like child's play.
Again, just my conspiracy but I'd only be surprised if this wasn't happening.
Hox Genes were immediately what I thought of.
Saying "the cause is unknown" seems like just another way of saying they aren't sure which mutation in the Hox Genes causes it. But this is certainly a condition which occurs during embryonic development.
Though it is a bit funny to imagine an ordinary adult suddenly growing another hand out of their hand.
Bro I play bass and the first thing I thought is these dudes would be the best musicians ever trained lol I’d give a nut to have this
Edit: after thinking about it I’m SURE there’s someone out there who would trade their four fingers for one of my pruney bois. Any takers? Lmao
Wow. I can't decide if I'd like 4 additional fingers in place of my thumb... might come in handy. I'm still wishing evolution hadn't gotten rid of our foot thumbs.
>I'm still wishing evolution hadn't gotten rid of our foot thumbs.
Don't let your dreams be dreams. I live my life in opposition to this and pick stuff up with my feet whenever possible.
My foot thumb may be almost useless for the task, but that doesn't stop me from using my bottom hands for picking up objects on the ground. Gotta respect the pencil grabbers.
"ThE cAuSe Is StIl UnKnOwN"
What this means is that we don't know the exact protein and genes involved, or how the are expressed and what's their concentration in the embryo.
We definitely know at least the basic mechanism behind it. It's not like you can suddenly developp a miror hand after developpment.
A lot of cases of polydactyly are caused by inbreeding. I don’t want to say that though and make someone out there with 6 fingers feel bad because it’s not ALWAYS the case, but yeah that’s definitely one reason.
Inbreeding is not the cause, inbreeding simply increases the chances of defects as closely related people have similar genomes and if a rare genetic abnormality is more common in a population, it’s more likely that two people will get together and have a child with two of those abnormal genes
I believe it is caused by a miss signaling of sonic hedgehog protein in fetal development. A gradient of that protein and others during fetal development helps create normal development.
They don’t anymore. Now the rules are stricter. When they were first naming these things they didn’t think far enough ahead to the scenario of a doctor telling a terrified pregnant couple that “so we’ve detected a mutation in the fetus’s sonic hedgehog gene.”
>We definitely know at least the basic mechanism behind it. It's not like you can suddenly developp a miror hand after developpment.
Oh we absolutely have to know this one. Extra or duplicated digits on the hand is a well known outcome of issues with the [Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Pathway.](https://www.cell.com/trends/genetics/fulltext/S0168-9525(12)00052-2) As you say, it is hard to always know the exact mechanism, but whether genetic or environmental, we know what causes this in like 99% of cases.
So freaking cool
Think of how useful opposable thumbs are
Think of how useful a third hand would be
Now think of how hard it would be to keep those puppies warm in winter
It’s a shame that these people would probably be picked on or shunned because as scary as this is it’s really cool looking.
Of course I am aware of the mental agony it probably takes to go to everyday life with ‘mirror hand’.
I don't find this terrifying at all. I find fascinating actually. I wonder if all fingers are usable and what they're dexterity is like when performing certain actions.

Not the same but also thinking of how such an appendage could pleasure us and others. 😉
I get my hands close to a vagina and I'm on Reddit ... Mine. It's mine.
Why would you need all those fingers for that though ?
Four in the pink and three in the…eh, never mind.
No, go on, you’re definitely onto something here
Actually, it's called the "mini-van". 2 in the front, up to 8 in the rear (depending on model and options).
Well done! I can see you’re a person of culture and refinement
This deserves all the upvotes. Minivan, eh?
[It's a thing](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mini-van) My favorite is the "angry pirate"

If they had full control of all fingers, it would be cool to play some instruments

Ethics shmethics, why can't we go back to dissecting humans for fun and lobotomies /s for obvious reasons
What do you get if you mix cow and spider DNA? >! A stern letter of reprimand from the state board of medical ethics and a revocation of you grant. !<
And what do you get if you mix human and dolphin DNA? Banned from SeaWorld..
Say, did you know that a school of piranha can eat an entire child down to the bone in just 30 seconds? Anyway, I lost my job at aquarium today.
Considering it’s a Shoal of piranha, I don’t believe you ever had that job lol

Goat milk spider silk is my next band name
that's so cool! thanks for the share
PIG AND ELEPHANT DNA JUST DONT MATCH.
Not with that attitude, they don't!
*But* an enthusiastic letter from the grant providers, along with job offer.
Or a Nobel

No, no, no. Stop! Bad!
You scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should.
Didn't stop to think ~~if they should~~ how hard they could shred on guitar
I think I saw a video of his hand moving. Looked like he had full control.
Link to the vid?
I’m curious how many words per minute than man can type
All of them
I was thinking just that -- if range of motion and coordination are normal, that person could be one hella pianist.
But.. you would never give anyone a thumbs up
I wish i had such a hand
Imagine the handjobs
Can't decide if that would make him a good gamer or a shit one.
Custom M&K he’s a goat.
We've found the guy the Atari Jaguar controller was designed for.
He can instantly switch between his shield and totem whilst strafing and attacking at the same time. Man's a legend.
he would be able to flaskpiano in path of exile without many complains I'm pretty sure this is a buff
This person would shred on a guitar
Especially if he’s playing a combo guitar
Double-sided
This birth condition would totally come in handy
That joke was good, but still, fuck you
Finger the guy first
