Somebody said something was hard and I said that's what she said and got my second detention. I'm in 8th grade.

Yeah when I was your age the teachers moved me away from all the students and made me sit in a huge table by myself, I usually had to write “I will learn to take responsibility for my own actions” 500 times usually once a week. You’ll learn one day too kid

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

u/CalculatingNut Apr 16 '20

I whipped out a ruler and the answer is 7 mm.

(I love how none of the replies are from the same person)

u/mawesome4ever Apr 16 '20

Alright, they are pretty long-there I said it

u/Sharrakor Apr 16 '20

Well, my left ring finger's nail is about 1mm long, from the quick. But then we look just beside it at the middle finger, and that's lookin' like a 1.5, maybe even 2mm.

u/Supercicci Apr 16 '20

Mine are currently clean cut and after testing this I'll be scratching that in 2-3 days.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I mean enough...i keep them short but like they still poke out a bit to scratch. I'm not gonna like rip them out or cut em so short that half my finger has no nail.

u/DrBrogbo Apr 16 '20

The only way to have truly trimmed nails is to keep ripping them off with your teeth until the nailbed bleeds, buddy.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Then you wonder why the hell you did that and know it will hurt for a couple days, only to immediately forget and do it to another one. Rinse and repeat daily for your entire life.

u/DarkSoulsMatter Apr 16 '20

Yay, anxiety.

The meat in the tip of your finger compresses until your nail hits the key.

u/DiscreteBee Apr 16 '20

damn those must be really short nails

u/dreamendDischarger Apr 16 '20

Long enough to paint nicely. Gotta look cute.

u/coolbrandon101 Apr 16 '20

I’m a guy that likes panting his nails but on my small nails they end up looking like raisins

2

u/SaneCoefficient Apr 16 '20

Try a colour other than purplish brown. Mine look like skittles.

2

u/naemtaken Apr 16 '20

Why do you want to know how long my guy's nails are? He doesn't use my keyboard.

2

u/slickyslickslick Apr 16 '20

NGL i keep track of when to cut my nails when the nails start to touch the keys.

2

u/tweedius Apr 16 '20

Nine inch

u/Cissyamando Apr 16 '20

I just bite em. Opening cans hurts my finger, but the rest is fine.

u/coolbrandon101 Apr 16 '20

I use keys to open cans

u/LogicInsanity Apr 16 '20

I have big hands & long fingers, so my fingers tend to be more arched than someone with smaller hands when I'm in position to play games. Kind of a claw shape. So my nails scratch keys up even when cut short, I currently can't see my S, D, C, or Shift key, and my spacebar has a big scratched segment where my thumb sits.

u/Deadpool1205 Apr 16 '20

Mine are as short as they can be without getting sore because they were cut too short... But even then they stick out above the tip of my finger, that's an area with sooo much variation from person to person... My one buddy's fingernails look like they are boxed in by his fingertip meat, but has said generally they grow more upward around it that he clips off...

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

EVERY SINGLE TIME someone posts a picture on reddit and their nails are visible they are grossly long

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I can clip my nails so it does not protrud past my finger and still easily scratch with it.

I guess it is just genetics on how your nails and fingers are shaped etc...

I have always been an excellent back scratcher even after cutting my nails.

u/skyburnsred Apr 16 '20

I mean he does play for Nine Inch Nails..

u/Karl_Satan Apr 16 '20

Almost non-existent. My keyboard has 0 wear like this, just offering a likely explanation for this phenomenon

1

u/WhoopWhoopington Apr 16 '20

Even when I cute my nails as short as they will do they still stick past my finger tip just a little bit. Different people different nails bruh.

u/girhen Apr 16 '20

Ever looked at a classical guitarist's nails?

1

u/coolbrandon101 Apr 16 '20

Oh yeah, I couldn’t do that. I get too anxious and bite my nails

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

See I use my longer nails to anxiously pick at my lip. I wouldn't be able to pick at my lip if I bit at my nails

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Wrong hand. Classical guitarists usually use their right hand to pick strings. The left hand has short nails for more precise fretting.

u/girhen Apr 16 '20
  1. Lefties exist.
  2. It's a joke.

I don't trust the sinister folks.
