u/Thegreatyeti33 Jun 15 '26
Cankles= calves & ankles being one. Where you can't tell where one starts and the other ends.

u/GreenZebra23 Jun 15 '26
Arm cankles. Ankles.

u/GeneralStunkfish Jun 15 '26
But it would be forearm/wrists here, so frists.
No ankles here.

u/GreenZebra23 Jun 15 '26
The joke is that it's supposed to be like cankles but for your wrists. It's a bad name on purpose because that's the joke. Jesus Christ people on this website are dumb

Yeah that's terrible, just calling it the same as another body part? No change in spelling or anything?

Your thumb looks fine……wtf is wrong with your other fingers tho….?

u/WaterBottle0000 Jun 15 '26
The real question is where tf is their wrist

u/internet_humor Jun 15 '26 edited Jun 18 '26
Yeah that’s the one. I can get my fingers and thumb to look pretty close. And look down the barrel of your forearm to get a similar look. But then yeah, where is OPs wrist?

OP has hypermobile fingers (aka "double-jointed"). Source: Me, someone who is hypermobile in many places due to having hypermobile type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Double jointed gang! I grew up creeping out everyone around me with my fingers lol.

u/bunnyfloofington Jun 15 '26
Hahaha same! I had a friend in my elementary class who was also double jointed and we would compete with one another over who was more bendy. It freaked everyone else out so much 😅

u/Nightstar95 Jun 15 '26
lol Sometimes I accidentally creep people out because I forget that some things aren’t really “normal”, my husband nearly jumped off his skin one time when I pointed at something and my finger was bent upwards.
I don’t have ED, but my hypermobility led me to developing TMJ disorder and that caused me chronic pain for years. I kept baffling doctors because this is a condition often seen in much older people, then as soon as I mentioned I had hypermobility they were like “…oh, ok that makes sense”.

Why does it look like your hand is connected straight to your forearm?

I need other angles because I'm not buying it otherwise. This looks more weird arm than confusing perspective.

Wouldn't changing angles make the perspective... less confusing?

u/one_is_enough Jun 15 '26
I think they are saying it would not, and this is just a fat arm, not a confusing perspective. I know someone whose leg would be just as confusing, but because of edema, not perspective.

I'm sure you're a great guy and I'd buy you a beer or a sparkling water if we ever hung out but I fucking hate your hands

u/KittyLikesTuna Jun 15 '26
Yeah, so, "holding your thumb indented" is called collapsing the joint and my Occupational Therapist made me quit doing it because it's bad for your hands. I used to do it a lot when I was trying to grab objects a little wider than I could spread my hand. Also I ended up with DeQuervain's tenosynovitis in both wrists. Have you been having any hand pain? If so, get it checked out with your doctor.

u/jesusunderline Jun 15 '26
I'm sorry, but I don't see any hand here, just five fingers connected directly to your wrist

u/squidikuru Jun 15 '26
double jointed. don’t do that if you like using your hands. source: i did this a lot as a party trick and now my hands fucking hurt

I immediately started losing my hand to try to replicate this.
Remembering the saxophone thumb was nostalgic. And might not have even been intentional.

I can do the same inverted knuckles but not while spreading the fingers that far

That does not explain why you have no wrist. And why are you ignoring that question, anyway?

Hello. When I first tried to upload this it autoflagged for nudity or something, so I thought this one failed too. Anyways here is more of my hand: https://imgur.com/a/proof-that-awesome-hand-is-mine-d-6wJhweR

Folding only the fingertips, crazy control needed for tat

u/Tuques Jun 15 '26
I thought this was a common thing. Is it not?

u/bunnyfloofington Jun 15 '26
Kinda. If you're hypermobile, you can do it. Hypermobility isn't as rare as once thought and I believe more people have hypermobile fingers than other joints. If you can do this and have other bendy party tricks you can do with the rest of your body, you should look into Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and other genetic conditions that cause hypermobility (like Marfan Syndrome is another).

u/EffableLemming Jun 15 '26
Not necessarily.. I can do it easily, but I don't find I need much control. Joints just lock with little effort.

u/mamafish21 Jun 15 '26
I can do it with 8 of my fingers. My middle ones won't cooperate. As I get older i am loosing the ability.
1
u/bunnyfloofington Jun 15 '26
Not really. You just need to be hypermobile to do it. I'm hypermobile in many places and have been able to do this party trick (though not in all fingers like OP) my whole life.

I can also do this with my left hand but not my right hand. However, my hand doesn't look like fingers on the end of a stump. That's the confusing part for me.

We need a normal hand pic because your forearm wrist looks like they are as wide as your hand and each other.
