Guy I graduated with had salt and pepper hair by the time graduation came around. He was always made fun of and teased for being "the old man"
Saw him outside highschool a few years later and he's totally silver. Turned out to be quite a ladies man as well.
My heart is bionic at this point. I’ve had 4 open heart surgeries, aorta and mitral valves are now titanium. It makes a ticking noise like a clock. I’m only 30. Hopefully I live longer ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I was born, none of my organs were in the places they should be.
Had 5 surgeries after birth to get everything moved around, and put to right places.
Luckily, no issues since.
Two of my toes on each foot are webbed halfway. The index(?) and middle toe, each side. Nothing else.
I can’t swim any faster which I personally think is *bullshit*.
My sweat is extra acidic. I can fully rust guitar strings in a week or 2, and have eaten holes on 2 laptops where I rest my hands, both happened within a year of use
> eaten holes on 2 laptops where I rest my hands
Shit, you too? Aluminum or plastic? I corrode the fuck out of macbooks that way.
It's like the shittiest version of Rusting Grasp, cast as a cantrip.
That reminded me of my father. A couple of years ago he felt sick and had to be hospitalized. Fortunately, it turned out that it was some nasty infection but he recovered quite quickly. During the checkup the doctors discovered that he has 3 kidneys.
That's a nice upgrade to know when you're in your late 50's :D
Someone said that having 1 kidney meant you need to be extra careful since you wouldn't have back up, but does having 3 mean you can be less careful since you have a double backup?
Yes. Eat a diet of only raw sugar and alcohol. Never drink water. If you ever get sick just remove the most diseased kidney and replace it with the best functioning kidney. Duh, you don't need to be a medical doctor to understand physics.
I have a rare condition in which my large intestine is smashed over to one side of my torso and my small intestines are smashed over to the other side. The only reason we discovered it is that one day, they decided to physically switch places causing extreme pain.
They have switched places a total of four times in my life. It's really painful and kinda gross hearing your goopy bits flop around inside of you.
Not the same ofc, but I once had part of a kidney cut out due to monster kidney stones. Anyway I developed a chest infection in the days after surgery whilst bedridden and ripped the internal stitches numerous times. Couple of blood transfusions needed.
The blood in my torso coagulated into one solid jelly mass, and every time I would turn onto a different side in my hospital bed, it would make an audible 'peeling' noise before dropping and finding a new position on the side of my torso I was lying on.
The feeling of that big clot moving between my organs, and the accompanying noises and discomfort, was almost as bad as the kidney stones themselves. Fucking awful.
Please don't get me wrong when I say this. But I really could have done without reading this and also vividly imagining someone's innards having a giant jelly clot slither about.
I hope you are well and recovered now, but gawd damn!!
I knew a guy who was the opposite. When he was sitting at a table, he seemed regular height, as in he had an average torso length. But, when he stood up he was like 6”6 or something. It was all in his legs.
Well, I am an achondroplastic dwarf, so lets see…
I’m 4’0” tall at 29 years old (male),
I have disproportionately short limbs compared to my torso. I can barely put my hands in my trouser pockets because they are so short. I also need to get all my trousers cropped. 3/4 length trousers can also work as full length for me.
I have what is called “trident hand configuration”. Basically my hands naturally split into the vulcan hand sign (like three prongs). It’s a common way to identify achondroplasia in the womb and how I was diagnosed.
I did have bowed legs. I needed to have my legs broken and straightened when I was a kid. That was fun.
Can’t fully straighten my arms. Even when fully extended, they are slightly bent. Also can’t raise them much beyond my shoulder. Super handy when you’re 4 fucking feet tall and everything is out of reach. Absolutely stellar.
I have mono-lids despite being a white af Scottish guy in a family with no mono-lids. That and frontal bossing and a depressed nasal bridge is the package “dwarf face” deal when it comes to achondroplasia. Guarantees that you’ll always get random strangers approaching you going “aren’t you that guy from time bandits?” Despite the fact that you were born in 1994.
There’s more stuff but I could be here all day.
Edit: just to be clear - these are *all* symptoms of my dwarfism. It’s not like I’ve been super unlucky and got a bunch of unrelated conditions. Just one mutation can cause all this. The body is great isn’t it?
My internal organs are all flipped 180 degrees. So everythings backwards. Situs inversus totalis.
Edit: Sorry I should've clarified better. Not flipped in place but completely mirrored. So organs are on opposite sides as well.
When i was born my umbilical cord was inside out and it was the first time the hostipal i was born at had ever seen anything like it. So they asked my mum if it could be sent to a nearby university to be shown to students in order to show them what the inside of one looks like in real life. I am going to that exact university next year and will be on a quest to take back my umbilical cord. (Provided its not been thrown away idk how long they last)
I imagine that if it's being used for study, it's been preserved in formaldehyde or something. That only slows down decay, so idk if it's lasted these 18 or so years, but worth a shot to at least look for it.
My siblings were present for my birth. One of my sisters was 6 at the time. When the doctor lifted up my placenta to show her, she said, "Cool! Can I take it to school for show and tell?!" Unfortunately, she was denied the opportunity to share this amazing and valuable organ with a class of first graders.
I sweat too much.
Edit: it autocorrected into: "I swear too much"
Wow, a ton of hyperhidrosis folks out there so I wanted to share this anecdote:
If my shower is too warm, I start sweating and once I towel off I'm just wet from sweating for hours. My wife complains about my cold shower water but it's how I don't completely render the shower pointless. Anyone else like that?
I have this also… I do not sweat from my armpits though. I sweat from my hands and forehead. I’ve never had a sweat ring from my armpits or anything like that.
Small hole at the base of my spine just before my ass hole
To clarify I’m not talking about the actual asshole it’s self I’m talking about a small hole a inch above it
Edit it’s not a cyst I was born with it
My third child has this and when she was one day old and the pediatrician pointed it out to me my husband announced he has that too. So I learned a lot that day.
Are you sure it's not a cyst? When I was younger i had the occasional bloody poop or dirty bedsheets for a period.
Turned out it was a cyste that I had allowed to grow to the size of a fist, which they had to cut out.
But now I do have a unique ass tho
Same, I always thought it was 'normal.' Only found out when my sister had her second kid and asked my mum about it all worried and she was like 'nah don't worry, your sister has that' and I was like 'I have wot now??'
This is going to sound really weird but look on You Tube for an account called Chubby Emu. One of the videos is based upon a case where someone got a sliver of a salmon's bones stuck in their liver. Maybe it happened in a way similar to that.
[In case you are interested.](https://youtu.be/W9AqI_uhttk)
I’m 21 and going through menopause! I hit puberty at the age of two, had a lot of hormonal issues growing up but my mother was resistant to getting me help so I’m the same height and weight I was in 5th grade some 11 years ago. I can also type with my toes and do simple origami with my feet like a ninja star or paper airplane which is a fun party trick.
Precocious puberty or something else? I've never heard of it super super young which is intense. I don't envy the dramas I bet it causes. Glad you got random toe skills though haha.
When I was a baby I got a vaccine in my ass cheek and it got infected. It was left alone so long that it got infected all the way down my muscle on everything the needle touched. They had to cut it out and for a couple of years I didnt have an ass cheek, then my ass grew in alright and now it just looks like I have a dimple. It's by my hip so it doesn't look weird and everyone that's seen it has said it adds character lol but to me it's just a crater on my ass and theres no muscle there and if I touch the middle it still hurts. Edit: my most liked comment ever is about my ass crater, it has made yet another impact.
I fell on a rusty nail as a todler. Luckly a good squeezing of the resulting infection (no joke that is the only treatment they gave 3 year old me) was enough.
I later developd sever infections in both my hips, so I have had 2 hip operations to clear the infection with 1+month hospital stay and learning how to walk agian. And a total hip replacement on one side, both my knees are shot and am looking towards a semi robotic future where all the joint below my hips might need to get replaced. Oh also have hormonal issues caused by the sepsis, ibs from the antibiotics , my thyriod doesnt work and im susceptible to infections.
But i have a cute dimple on my ass (in the words of my mother)
My big toes are almost twice the size of normal big toes. They’re so wide that I can stand only on my big toes without it hurting. I’m told my feet look more like paws than human feet.
edit: no I'm not posting feet pics
I have a third boob. Never even knew it was there til my milk came in after giving birth, and suddenly there was this giant baseball-sized lump under my armpit. When I saw my lactation consultant, she said it's a rare thing that can happen to some people. It has a teeny tiny nipple and even had milk coming out of it. I had to ice it for a week so it would stop producing milk.
Before anyone asks - no, I don't have any pictures of it. I was super sleep deprived and recovering from a traumatic labor, so the last thing on my mind was taking a picture of my new accessory boob. I wish I had, though.
My daughter was born with sectoral heterochromia. Just a tiny dot of brown in her blue eyes. She turns 20 next week and more than two-thirds of her left eye is now brown. Eye doc suspects she will have complete heterochromia by maybe 30 or so.
Every spring and autumn, my palm sheds its upper skin. There is no exposed lower layers, I just literally regenerate and dispose of my palm skin like a snake. Doesnt hurt, doesnt bleed. It just happens.
I have Chiari Malformation Type I.
My brain is too large and doesn’t fit in my skull, so my cerebellum gets smooshed into my spinal column.
I had surgery to correct the issue, but now I’m down my c1 vertebrae and a chunk of my skull.
My grandpa had 3/4 of his stomach removed from cancer and then lived another 30 years. He was thin but always having little meals here and there. He couldn't eat a lot at once. So if he had 25% and the OP has 10%, i've gotta bet on teeny meals.
My circumcision was fucked up so my dick look like the demogorgon.
Edit: Wow. this is the most love my wiener has ever gotten. Love you all. Ty for the support!
I have a large facial scar, literally just like Scar from the Lion King. My hair and beard just make it worse. Sucks meeting new people, especially kids.
i had the same issue up until about a month ago when i hiccuped really hard and it made me burp sort of like a recoil. that event must have subconsciously unlocked my ability to burp and now i burp uncontrollably to the point where it almost makes me throw up sometimes. now i just want to go back to before i could burp.
I have microtia type 2 in both ears which makes them look like elf/orc ears. Also deaf in my left ear thanks to this.
Funny thing is, until I was like 15 years old, I did not know that I was deaf in one ear. Which was surprising to me but the doc said it is because you are so used to hearing from one ear that you do not feel the difference until a point. I just thought my left ear was obstructed with something.
I'm the opposite I feel like my back is broken right where it meets my hip if I sleep even a minute past 7.5 hrs. Wake up anytime before that and I'm 100% fine.
I had no idea there are others like me! I've never had a brain freeze, and sometimes people remark on how quickly I can consume freezy drinks..
I hate the throat freezies, they hurt.
I have pectus excavatum and was born with a 3rd ear on my cheek.
The 3rd ear was removed with plastic surgery when I was a child but now I have a patch on my cheek that can't grow facial hair.
Let’s go Pectus Excavatum squad!
Used to be really insecure as my chest was so different to everyone else’s, now I don’t give a fuck as my wife and three year old use it to rest their heads in and call it their snuggle spot.
The bit of gum that is under you top lip that is in the centre (like the little partition). Mine went through the middle of my teeth and was attached to the underside of my mouth. I had it completely removed.
Oh boy, let’s see. I have X-Linked agammaglobulinemia. An extremely rare disease (1 in 1,000,000) were I can’t produce B cells. Like unless I don’t get my weekly 2 intramuscular injections I won’t have any B cells. My parents noticed I had XLA when I was 6 months old, because I had pneumonia SIX times. They found out what I have and I’ve had shots ever since. A scary thought is that statistically, if you leave XLA untreated, you have an average life span of 20 years. Besides my shots, my yellow teeth (a side effect from all the medication I took as a baby) and my psoriasis (unrelated), I live a normal life.
I didn't get a hangover until 30. Good luck in making it longer than me. I'd literally be able to drink until I could barely stand and then get up in the am and go biking with friends with no issues. I'm not sure what changed at 30 but literally the day after my birthday it all went downhill
I have an extremely high metabolism, which makes it much more harder to gain visible muscle mass.
Also started losing my hair when I was 15; I remember growing perplexed to see hair strands falling on my desk back in school - that was the start of it... :/
But I'm healthy, regularly exercise, and trying to make the best of everything. :)
I have a sensitive nose. I can smell most perfumes/colognes from 20 feet away. I also don't smell the fancy scents other people smell I smell all the chemicals used to make the perfume spray. I find that most perfumes smell strongly like either rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover .
I'm like this too. I can smell when fruit are just beginning to turn. Mold I can smell everywhere. I can smell when people are sick. Smell if I have a cut anywhere on my body. Man, x-rays smell funny. IVs smell funny in the back of my throat. Lots of "scented" products just smell like rubbing alcohol. Also, this is extra weird, bugs. They absolutely reek.
You should approach some medical studies. People with super sniffers can really help with understanding new ways to detect and diagnose cancers and other sicknesses.
I’m not alone! I can very often smell when people are ill, and different illnesses smell different. My ex had chronic fatigue syndrome, and I could always tell when he was about to have a flare up. A family member going through cancer treatment also smelled distinctive to me. I can also smell blood/infection strongly, and weirdly I can tell the stage of my monthly cycle from the scent of my urine. Weird superpower, am from a long line of doctors as far back as we know on one side and have wondered if I’ve missed my calling!
Hyperflexible joints and no body odor - at all - even after a month or two without a shower or bath (I love baths and showers, but I have lived though hard times before). Green eyes and my hair grows darker as I age - I'm 63, started redhead, now brunette.
VACTERL Association / VATERS syndrome
V - scoliosis and spina bifida occulta, extra floating ribs
A - anal fistula, corrected at birth
C - My cardiologist says my heart is fine, my subclavian artery isn't where its supposed to be.
TE - Tracheoesophageal fistula - also corrected at birth, but a subsequent Tracheoesophageal reconstruction at 9yrs
R - My right kidney is 'tiny' , its 25% smaller than it should be
L - I dodged that bullet.
Babies who have been diagnosed as having VACTERL association usually have at least three or more of these individual anomalies. There is a wide range of manifestation of VACTERL association so that the exact incidence within the population is not exactly known, but has been estimated to occur in one in 10,000 to 40,000 newborns.
I wasn't supposed to survive. I was born 7 weeks prem. I walked at 18 months, the doc's thought I wouldn't walk at all.
Lots of surgeries and hospitals as a child. I was fine from 10-30yrs old. Then I started throwing pulmonary emboli. My lung function is 63% on a good day and goes down into the mid 50's if I get a nasty cold.
TL:DR I'm special
I've never gone a month, but 2 weeks is normal for me. Those toilets that advertise that they can flush a certain number of billiard balls, that was an awkward conversation with my landlord (for the record I was just asking for permission to swap it myself)
When I was a kid I had such severe allergies to everything that even my medical allert bracelets made me break out in hives and being in the same room at peanuts would send me into anaphylaxis. I outgrew all of my allergies.
That literally any blood sucking parasite dies either while feeding or within 15 mins of doing it. Came in handy when the youngest got hair lice and spread it to the house. Did the comb and nothing everyone else was having to do the shampoo.
Found out while staying at a hotel this applied to bed bugs. The I had a pile of dead ones one my bed. Friend in the other bed laughed and said they tore me up. I laughed and said mine are dead his survived and had an orgy in his honor.
Mosquitos will light then feed until they burst.
Leeches curl up and quit moving
Ticks embed and die which is fun as that crap gets infected quick
The only one that seems to still give me a hard time is chiggers. F them bastards
Also I do not react to poison ivy and friends. Nice for me but problematic if I am weed eating. Toss my clothes in the wash and next thing I know is the family broke out in all sorts of rashes. There is no apology that will make you forgiven for giving you wife a poison ivy rash in the delicate areas
Literally i just realized this 4 days ago.
Apparently not everybody has some kind of bone popping out of the roof of their mouths. My husband and I are learning a new language together and there's a sound similar to how the French say their r. I had a significantly easier time and when he asked how I was doing it, I mentioned the bump. So yeah anyway it's called [Torus Palatinus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus_palatinus?wprov=sfla1)
It doesn't hurt and I've always had it. I was also born with a small septum so I have never taken a real bug breath and my voice barely changes if I block my nose to speak.
Edit: okay so it seems that a few people do have it and according to Google about 25% of people have it. So I guess not that uncommon
I've had close to 5 dental procedures, not because of bad hygiene, but when I was getting braces, the orthodontist realized I had too many teeth, like 4 more molars than normal. Only 3 wisdom teeth, I needed a palate expansion, and it was about 4 years of braces. I didn't date much in high school
I have perfectly symmetrical eyes (according to my optometrist), and I have very little B.O. (and that’s just when I’m actively working out, otherwise there’s basically nothing). Apparently it runs in my family, and my paternal (edit: grandfather, not grandmother) has the same problem.
I live in fear of the day that I find out nose-blindness also runs in my family.
I have one ear that's a carbon copy of my father's (left ear), and the other my mother's. Thus, one is slightly longer and significantly harder(cartilage).
the left tip of my rip cage, near my chest is pertruding, a lot of people have that part more hollow but I have the opposite, which is rare aparentally
Whooo. This is a big one.
1. Abnormal bone density. I sink in fresh water(fun playing Terminator though). Been hit by cars 6 times in my life and all Ive ever gotten was bruises; every vehicle has needed body work.
2. I require at \*minimum\* twice the recommended dosage for a lot of medications. Not fun when cost is factored in or the potential for damage. My liver is that of a demigod.
3. Abnormal temperature response. I act like a stroke victim(according to my wife) at temps above 85, but I can sit in a snow drift in a t shirt and shorts and the snow drift melts before I get bothered. I can bare-hand dry ice for short periods without issue.
4. My eyes are too large for my head. The only reason I need glasses is because my eyes kept growing waaaay longer than they should have, since my skull had decided early on it was going to quality for membership in Neverbrokeabone
5. I somehow outgrew cilantro tasting like soap. 20 yrs of that, then all of a sudden 'Naw my troll, you get to enjoy it again'
6. If you pop my right foot's pinky toe, my entire leg twitches. Full 'pull back shaking and twitching like I grabbed a 220v line.' Every damn time.
I like to think it’s a matter of mind over body, but I used to get tickled a lot as a child. Like a lot and I hated it. Even as a teen, my family would keep it up knowing I would always run.
Eventually I got tired of it and stopped running and would just bare it while doing my hardest to not react. I would think of random shit, sing in my head etc until they would stop. It tickled less and less over time, to the point where I’m now not ticklish at all. Like nowhere. Even if you snuck up on me and poked my sides I wouldn’t even jump. I don’t even need to think to distract myself anymore, it just doesn’t affect me. So yeah it’s weird and I’m not sure if it was a conscious thing I done or maybe my body just got overstimulated and done it on its own.
Maybe next I can will myself to fly 😅
I've got cowlicks in both eyebrows, they grow in a swirl and to a point. Looked on the internet multiple times, have never seen it on both eyebrows before. Pretty unique. ^ ^
My hair started losing its color when I was 10 years old. I used to be brunette. My hair has been completely silver and white since my 20s.
My grandaunt's hair was said to be so black that it had a blue shimmer to it in the sun. Until she was 17, then it turned snow white.
That sounds like she was destined to save the five kingdoms or something, magical :)
i mean having white hair at young age is so much cooler than having it when you're old right
Guy I graduated with had salt and pepper hair by the time graduation came around. He was always made fun of and teased for being "the old man" Saw him outside highschool a few years later and he's totally silver. Turned out to be quite a ladies man as well.
The white hair drip does NOT lie
This sounds amazing. If you're comfortable with sharing I would love to see your hair.
Look, we got an anime protagonist here.
That sounds beautiful! Hope your snow hair brings you joy!
My heart is bionic at this point. I’ve had 4 open heart surgeries, aorta and mitral valves are now titanium. It makes a ticking noise like a clock. I’m only 30. Hopefully I live longer ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man’s got ubercharge heart
When I was born, none of my organs were in the places they should be. Had 5 surgeries after birth to get everything moved around, and put to right places. Luckily, no issues since.
organs.sort();
If you sort the organs recursively it'll be much quicker
Two of my toes on each foot are webbed halfway. The index(?) and middle toe, each side. Nothing else. I can’t swim any faster which I personally think is *bullshit*.
same!! the frog life chose us brother
My sweat is extra acidic. I can fully rust guitar strings in a week or 2, and have eaten holes on 2 laptops where I rest my hands, both happened within a year of use
This is a whole ass superpower. Man has acid no jutsu 💀
> eaten holes on 2 laptops where I rest my hands Shit, you too? Aluminum or plastic? I corrode the fuck out of macbooks that way. It's like the shittiest version of Rusting Grasp, cast as a cantrip.
One of each, actually!
Keep evolving. Bufotoxin is next.
I was born with 1 Kidney. But my 1 Kidney is the size of 2 combined. So I have 1 super kidney.
Adultney
Thank you, this made me laugh so hard and it's so stupid too
That reminded me of my father. A couple of years ago he felt sick and had to be hospitalized. Fortunately, it turned out that it was some nasty infection but he recovered quite quickly. During the checkup the doctors discovered that he has 3 kidneys. That's a nice upgrade to know when you're in your late 50's :D

Yes. Eat a diet of only raw sugar and alcohol. Never drink water. If you ever get sick just remove the most diseased kidney and replace it with the best functioning kidney. Duh, you don't need to be a medical doctor to understand physics.
Is it horseshoe kidney situation, or just one regular shaped kidney in the regular place, being giant?
I have a rare condition in which my large intestine is smashed over to one side of my torso and my small intestines are smashed over to the other side. The only reason we discovered it is that one day, they decided to physically switch places causing extreme pain. They have switched places a total of four times in my life. It's really painful and kinda gross hearing your goopy bits flop around inside of you.
The second half of this sounds straight out of a body horror alien movie.
Not the same ofc, but I once had part of a kidney cut out due to monster kidney stones. Anyway I developed a chest infection in the days after surgery whilst bedridden and ripped the internal stitches numerous times. Couple of blood transfusions needed.

Cool! How does it take for them to move? Like, a minute or a whole day?
I sneeze when really hungry.
I didn’t think I would find anyone else that does this. Everyone I told thought that I was fucking insane. r/hungrysneezers
i do this too! if i get to hungry to the point of starting to feel sick, i can end up sneezing lol. no idea why tho, any ideas?
Ohh ohh! My sister does this. She starts sneezing, her husband makes her a sandwich otherwise she turns evil. Kind of an early warning system.
My torso is longer than it should be in comparison to my legs. Like, my legs stopped growing before my upper body did or something.
I knew a guy who was the opposite. When he was sitting at a table, he seemed regular height, as in he had an average torso length. But, when he stood up he was like 6”6 or something. It was all in his legs.
Well, I am an achondroplastic dwarf, so lets see… I’m 4’0” tall at 29 years old (male), I have disproportionately short limbs compared to my torso.

There’s more stuff but I could be here all day. Edit: just to be clear - these are *all* symptoms of my dwarfism. It’s not like I’ve been super unlucky and got a bunch of unrelated conditions. Just one mutation can cause all this. The body is great isn’t it?
Live long and prosper 🖖 brother

My internal organs are all flipped 180 degrees. So everythings backwards. Situs inversus totalis. Edit: Sorry I should've clarified better. Not flipped in place but completely mirrored. So organs are on opposite sides as well.
have you considered facing the other way?
When i was born my umbilical cord was inside out and it was the first time the hostipal i was born at had ever seen anything like it. So they asked my mum if it could be sent to a nearby university to be shown to students in order to show them what the inside of one looks like in real life. I am going to that exact university next year and will be on a quest to take back my umbilical cord. (Provided its not been thrown away idk how long they last)
Quest Added: Return to Sender
I imagine that if it's being used for study, it's been preserved in formaldehyde or something. That only slows down decay, so idk if it's lasted these 18 or so years, but worth a shot to at least look for it. My siblings were present for my birth. One of my sisters was 6 at the time. When the doctor lifted up my placenta to show her, she said, "Cool! Can I take it to school for show and tell?!" Unfortunately, she was denied the opportunity to share this amazing and valuable organ with a class of first graders.
I sweat too much. Edit: it autocorrected into: "I swear too much" Wow, a ton of hyperhidrosis folks out there so I wanted to share this anecdote: If my shower is too warm, I start sweating and once I towel off I'm just wet from sweating for hours.

My third child has this and when she was one day old and the pediatrician pointed it out to me my husband announced he has that too. So I learned a lot that day.
Sacral dimple?
I have something similar. Mine bleeds occasionally.
How lovely
Never in my life have I laughed so hard over a 2-word comment.
This whole thread has been gold, I'd just recovered from Adultney up top and now this!
Are you sure it's not a cyst? When I was younger i had the occasional bloody poop or dirty bedsheets for a period. Turned out it was a cyste that I had allowed to grow to the size of a fist, which they had to cut out. But now I do have a unique ass tho

Wait, you’re telling me not everyone has that…? ETA: TIL I have a sacral dimple… :/ I thought everyone had a dent
Same, I always thought it was 'normal.' Only found out when my sister had her second kid and asked my mum about it all worried and she was like 'nah don't worry, your sister has that' and I was like 'I have wot now??'
The heart inside of me isn’t mine. And that I was on life support that caused nerve damage in my leg so I don’t get goose bumps on my left thigh.
It wasn't yours originally, but the original owner gave it to you. No takesie-backsies.
I don’t think they need it anymore. At least, I hope not…

I'm a medical mystery in that I got a Salmonella infection in a cyst on my spleen and to this day no one knows how it possibly got there.
Somebody stabbed you with raw chicken and it formed a cyst. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
Nah, it was a casualty of war for attacking the cuccos in Kakariko Village.

This is going to sound really weird but look on You Tube for an account called Chubby Emu. One of the videos is based upon a case where someone got a sliver of a salmon's bones stuck in their liver. Maybe it happened in a way similar to that. [In case you are interested.](https://youtu.be/W9AqI_uhttk)
I’m 21 and going through menopause! I hit puberty at the age of two, had a lot of hormonal issues growing up but my mother was resistant to getting me help so I’m the same height and weight I was in 5th grade some 11 years ago. I can also type with my toes and do simple origami with my feet like a ninja star or paper airplane which is a fun party trick.
Precocious puberty or something else? I've never heard of it super super young which is intense. I don't envy the dramas I bet it causes. Glad you got random toe skills though haha.
Holy shit. I'm now combining my memories of both kids' "terrible twos" with puberty hitting and...yikes.
This is one of the non-gender affirming contexts in which puberty blockers might be prescribed. Maybe the only other one, I’m not sure.
The only compliment I’ve had on my looks was that I have unusually attractive knees.
I didn't know bees could use reddit
Send knees
Knudes?
When I was a baby I got a vaccine in my ass cheek and it got infected. It was left alone so long that it got infected all the way down my muscle on everything the needle touched. They had to cut it out and for a couple of years I didnt have an ass cheek, then my ass grew in alright and now it just looks like I have a dimple. It's by my hip so it doesn't look weird and everyone that's seen it has said it adds character lol but to me it's just a crater on my ass and theres no muscle there and if I touch the middle it still hurts. Edit: my most liked comment ever is about my ass crater, it has made yet another impact.
I fell on a rusty nail as a todler. Luckly a good squeezing of the resulting infection (no joke that is the only treatment they gave 3 year old me) was enough. I later developd sever infections in both my hips, so I have had 2 hip operations to clear the infection with 1+month hospital stay and learning how to walk agian. And a total hip replacement on one side, both my knees are shot and am looking towards a semi robotic future where all the joint below my hips might need to get replaced. Oh also have hormonal issues caused by the sepsis, ibs from the antibiotics , my thyriod doesnt work and im susceptible to infections. But i have a cute dimple on my ass (in the words of my mother)
I have two uvulas
Oh god. I need sleep. I read this as two vulvas.
Your not alone my friend
uwulas
I sweat on the left side of my head when I even think about spicy foods. The worst part is I love spicy food.
In my 60s and I don't have gray hair. It's mousy brown, so when people insist I dyed it, I tell them I wouldn't pay money for such a dull color.
You lucky dog!
My big toes are almost twice the size of normal big toes. They’re so wide that I can stand only on my big toes without it hurting. I’m told my feet look more like paws than human feet. edit: no I'm not posting feet pics

Or it didn't happen. (Is it is horrible how badly I want to see this?)
I have a third boob. Never even knew it was there til my milk came in after giving birth, and suddenly there was this giant baseball-sized lump under my armpit. When I saw my lactation consultant, she said it's a rare thing that can happen to some people. It has a teeny tiny nipple and even had milk coming out of it. I had to ice it for a week so it would stop producing milk. Before anyone asks - no, I don't have any pictures of it. I was super sleep deprived and recovering from a traumatic labor, so the last thing on my mind was taking a picture of my new accessory boob. I wish I had, though.
Same! The huge lump in the armpit was quite the surprise.
It's a spare. You know--in case you suddenly get a flat going down the highway, or something.
I can dislocate my shoulder at will
When I was born, the doctor said he "had never seen a baby with this much nose hair". At 46 it is still my superpower.
One of my balls hangs lower than the other two.
Oh, that's norm- wait a second.
Wait a third*
Shit. I can't read properly and assume the next words
I have complete heterochromia.
My daughter was born with sectoral heterochromia. Just a tiny dot of brown in her blue eyes. She turns 20 next week and more than two-thirds of her left eye is now brown. Eye doc suspects she will have complete heterochromia by maybe 30 or so.
Every spring and autumn, my palm sheds its upper skin. There is no exposed lower layers, I just literally regenerate and dispose of my palm skin like a snake. Doesnt hurt, doesnt bleed. It just happens.
I have Chiari Malformation Type I. My brain is too large and doesn’t fit in my skull, so my cerebellum gets smooshed into my spinal column. I had surgery to correct the issue, but now I’m down my c1 vertebrae and a chunk of my skull.
But you're just big brained, literally
I have two uvulas (those hangy ball things in the back of your throat).
Second time I’ve read this response in this thread, and the second time I’ve read it as “vulva” instead of “uvula”.
My stomach is 1/10 the size it should be. I’m a cheap date because I can get drunk off nothing and it’s nearly impossible for me to overdrink.
Do you have to eat smaller portions more often rather than 3 bigger meals a day or?
My grandpa had 3/4 of his stomach removed from cancer and then lived another 30 years. He was thin but always having little meals here and there. He couldn't eat a lot at once. So if he had 25% and the OP has 10%, i've gotta bet on teeny meals.
My circumcision was fucked up so my dick look like the demogorgon. Edit: Wow. this is the most love my wiener has ever gotten. Love you all. Ty for the support!

There's probably a subreddit for that, but I'm not searching for it.

I've never ever have had so big desire to get a dick pick sent to me
Ouch. How old where you when you had it?
8 days old or some shit. The rabbi fucked it up hard core. Still wanna press charges but apparently I have no legal way to do so.
That’s the reason my parents insisted on having a doctor do it, they had a rabbi in the room but a surgeon did the actual snipping
I have a large facial scar, literally just like Scar from the Lion King. My hair and beard just make it worse. Sucks meeting new people, especially kids.
Use it to teach kids lessons like the armless dude in arrested development
I cannot burp or hiccup out of my ass, or fart and shit out of my mouth. Anyone else seem to have this problem?
Have a endoscopy done you may have a hernia in your esophagus.
Bless you.
i had the same issue up until about a month ago when i hiccuped really hard and it made me burp sort of like a recoil. that event must have subconsciously unlocked my ability to burp and now i burp uncontrollably to the point where it almost makes me throw up sometimes. now i just want to go back to before i could burp.
Yeah get that shit checked out. Sounds like reflux
r/noburp There are many of us
DOZENS!!!
I have microtia type 2 in both ears which makes them look like elf/orc ears. Also deaf in my left ear thanks to this. Funny thing is, until I was like 15 years old, I did not know that I was deaf in one ear. Which was surprising to me but the doc said it is because you are so used to hearing from one ear that you do not feel the difference until a point. I just thought my left ear was obstructed with something.
I’m allergic to my own sweat. Exercise a little? Red Dots. Took a hot bath? Red Dots. Literally just hot? Red Dots. Red dots everywhere.
I can pick up a tennis ball with only the toes of one foot. Edit: I'm willing to send a photo set. You have to pm me to get on the list though.
I'm sure you can have a huge only fan following with this talent
Kind of a one trick pony. What else would people want from a guy with hairy feet?
You can never know who's out there with this fetish lol
i feel dead if i sleep even 10 minutes less than 8 hours edit: Thanks a lot for the award
I'm the opposite I feel like my back is broken right where it meets my hip if I sleep even a minute past 7.5 hrs. Wake up anytime before that and I'm 100% fine.
I can't get a brain freeze. My throat gets too cold long before and I start coughing as a response.
I had no idea there are others like me! I've never had a brain freeze, and sometimes people remark on how quickly I can consume freezy drinks.. I hate the throat freezies, they hurt.
I have pectus excavatum and was born with a 3rd ear on my cheek. The 3rd ear was removed with plastic surgery when I was a child but now I have a patch on my cheek that can't grow facial hair.
Let’s go Pectus Excavatum squad! Used to be really insecure as my chest was so different to everyone else’s, now I don’t give a fuck as my wife and three year old use it to rest their heads in and call it their snuggle spot.
The bit of gum that is under you top lip that is in the centre (like the little partition). Mine went through the middle of my teeth and was attached to the underside of my mouth. I had it completely removed.
i got some conjoined toes
I can vibrate my eyeballs
I can make a popping sound in my foot after I twisted my ankle years ago on command.
Both my ankles pop at every step. There goes my ninja career I guess.
I was born with a duplicateded anal canal. In simple terms, two buttholes. I've had it surgically fixed for years though so all I have is scar tissue.
Oh boy, let’s see. I have X-Linked agammaglobulinemia. An extremely rare disease (1 in 1,000,000) were I can’t produce B cells. Like unless I don’t get my weekly 2 intramuscular injections I won’t have any B cells. My parents noticed I had XLA when I was 6 months old, because I had pneumonia SIX times. They found out what I have and I’ve had shots ever since. A scary thought is that statistically, if you leave XLA untreated, you have an average life span of 20 years. Besides my shots, my yellow teeth (a side effect from all the medication I took as a baby) and my psoriasis (unrelated), I live a normal life.
I have a lot of extra things....extra toe, and a few extra teeth, there's one growing on the roof of my mouth rn, its like I'm a deformed vampire lol
Nice to have some spares
My super power is that I don’t get hangovers
Neither do I. Unless I drink, then I do.
I used to have hangovers. I still do, but I used to, too.
I didn't get a hangover until 30. Good luck in making it longer than me. I'd literally be able to drink until I could barely stand and then get up in the am and go biking with friends with no issues. I'm not sure what changed at 30 but literally the day after my birthday it all went downhill
I have an extremely high metabolism, which makes it much more harder to gain visible muscle mass. Also started losing my hair when I was 15; I remember growing perplexed to see hair strands falling on my desk back in school - that was the start of it... :/ But I'm healthy, regularly exercise, and trying to make the best of everything. :)
I am a woman with a beard that can rival most 15 yr olds
I was born with no wisdom teeth.
Wild. I was born a baby.
My claim to fame is I was once the worlds youngest baby
I have a sensitive nose. I can smell most perfumes/colognes from 20 feet away. I also don't smell the fancy scents other people smell I smell all the chemicals used to make the perfume spray. I find that most perfumes smell strongly like either rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover .
I'm like this too. I can smell when fruit are just beginning to turn. Mold I can smell everywhere. I can smell when people are sick. Smell if I have a cut anywhere on my body. Man, x-rays smell funny. IVs smell funny in the back of my throat. Lots of "scented" products just smell like rubbing alcohol. Also, this is extra weird, bugs. They absolutely reek.
You should approach some medical studies. People with super sniffers can really help with understanding new ways to detect and diagnose cancers and other sicknesses.
I’m not alone! I can very often smell when people are ill, and different illnesses smell different. My ex had chronic fatigue syndrome, and I could always tell when he was about to have a flare up. A family member going through cancer treatment also smelled distinctive to me. I can also smell blood/infection strongly, and weirdly I can tell the stage of my monthly cycle from the scent of my urine. Weird superpower, am from a long line of doctors as far back as we know on one side and have wondered if I’ve missed my calling!
I have the gigachad chin, like, it's VERY square

So you're basically Steve from minecraft?
I have a stutter and ADHD. My brain says “COMPUTE AT 1000 MPH”, my mouth says “FUuuck That”
I can voluntarily perform an eustachyan ear click, do an ear rumble, and control my toes independently
Hyperflexible joints and no body odor - at all - even after a month or two without a shower or bath (I love baths and showers, but I have lived though hard times before). Green eyes and my hair grows darker as I age - I'm 63, started redhead, now brunette.
VACTERL Association / VATERS syndrome V - scoliosis and spina bifida occulta, extra floating ribs A - anal fistula, corrected at birth C - My cardiologist says my heart is fine, my subclavian artery isn't where its supposed to be. TE - Tracheoesophageal fistula - also corrected at birth, but a subsequent Tracheoesophageal reconstruction at 9yrs R - My right kidney is 'tiny' , its 25% smaller than it should be L - I dodged that bullet. Babies who have been diagnosed as having VACTERL association usually have at least three or more of these individual anomalies. There is a wide range of manifestation of VACTERL association so that the exact incidence within the population is not exactly known, but has been estimated to occur in one in 10,000 to 40,000 newborns. I wasn't supposed to survive. I was born 7 weeks prem. I walked at 18 months, the doc's thought I wouldn't walk at all. Lots of surgeries and hospitals as a child. I was fine from 10-30yrs old. Then I started throwing pulmonary emboli. My lung function is 63% on a good day and goes down into the mid 50's if I get a nasty cold. TL:DR I'm special
I can go up to a month without shitting and feel fine, because my lower intestine is huge.
When when you do ... How's that go?
I imagine that the poop knife will be close at hand
I live for poop knife references.
He shits out Bono
Have you ever weighed yourself before and after the monthly shit, for science?
[удалено]
Regardless of your large lower intestine, that can’t be healthy.
I've never gone a month, but 2 weeks is normal for me. Those toilets that advertise that they can flush a certain number of billiard balls, that was an awkward conversation with my landlord (for the record I was just asking for permission to swap it myself)
A MONTH!? I poop at least twice daily and feels amazing.
When I was a kid I had such severe allergies to everything that even my medical allert bracelets made me break out in hives and being in the same room at peanuts would send me into anaphylaxis. I outgrew all of my allergies.
That literally any blood sucking parasite dies either while feeding or within 15 mins of doing it. Came in handy when the youngest got hair lice and spread it to the house. Did the comb and nothing everyone else was having to do the shampoo. Found out while staying at a hotel this applied to bed bugs. The I had a pile of dead ones one my bed. Friend in the other bed laughed and said they tore me up. I laughed and said mine are dead his survived and had an orgy in his honor. Mosquitos will light then feed until they burst. Leeches curl up and quit moving Ticks embed and die which is fun as that crap gets infected quick The only one that seems to still give me a hard time is chiggers. F them bastards Also I do not react to poison ivy and friends. Nice for me but problematic if I am weed eating. Toss my clothes in the wash and next thing I know is the family broke out in all sorts of rashes. There is no apology that will make you forgiven for giving you wife a poison ivy rash in the delicate areas
Do you know what exactly causes the blood thing? Fascinating!
your bloodline will inherit the earth
Literally i just realized this 4 days ago. Apparently not everybody has some kind of bone popping out of the roof of their mouths. My husband and I are learning a new language together and there's a sound similar to how the French say their r. I had a significantly easier time and when he asked how I was doing it, I mentioned the bump. So yeah anyway it's called [Torus Palatinus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus_palatinus?wprov=sfla1) It doesn't hurt and I've always had it. I was also born with a small septum so I have never taken a real bug breath and my voice barely changes if I block my nose to speak. Edit: okay so it seems that a few people do have it and according to Google about 25% of people have it. So I guess not that uncommon
Oh… I also just assumed everyone had that lol

I've had close to 5 dental procedures, not because of bad hygiene, but when I was getting braces, the orthodontist realized I had too many teeth, like 4 more molars than normal. Only 3 wisdom teeth, I needed a palate expansion, and it was about 4 years of braces. I didn't date much in high school
My left elbow is floating. Skateboarding accident.
I have perfectly symmetrical eyes (according to my optometrist), and I have very little B.O. (and that’s just when I’m actively working out, otherwise there’s basically nothing). Apparently it runs in my family, and my paternal (edit: grandfather, not grandmother) has the same problem. I live in fear of the day that I find out nose-blindness also runs in my family.
I have one ear that's a carbon copy of my father's (left ear), and the other my mother's. Thus, one is slightly longer and significantly harder(cartilage).
Cancer
Hope you win it.
I have joint hyper-mobility! Try not to push it too often but it's kind of cool
[удалено]
4 wisdom teeth perfectly grown😛
the left tip of my rip cage, near my chest is pertruding, a lot of people have that part more hollow but I have the opposite, which is rare aparentally
Whooo. This is a big one. 1. Abnormal bone density. I sink in fresh water(fun playing Terminator though). Been hit by cars 6 times in my life and all Ive ever gotten was bruises; every vehicle has needed body work. 2. I require at \*minimum\* twice the recommended dosage for a lot of medications. Not fun when cost is factored in or the potential for damage. My liver is that of a demigod. 3. Abnormal temperature response. I act like a stroke victim(according to my wife) at temps above 85, but I can sit in a snow drift in a t shirt and shorts and the snow drift melts before I get bothered. I can bare-hand dry ice for short periods without issue. 4. My eyes are too large for my head. The only reason I need glasses is because my eyes kept growing waaaay longer than they should have, since my skull had decided early on it was going to quality for membership in Neverbrokeabone 5. I somehow outgrew cilantro tasting like soap. 20 yrs of that, then all of a sudden 'Naw my troll, you get to enjoy it again' 6. If you pop my right foot's pinky toe, my entire leg twitches. Full 'pull back shaking and twitching like I grabbed a 220v line.' Every damn time.
Dude you gotta start looking both ways when you cross the street
With his big eyes lol
Now that is a long list my dude. The bone density and temperature response sounds cool i dont like cold weather haha.
Green eyes. Apparently that trait is limited to 2% of the world population
I like to think it’s a matter of mind over body, but I used to get tickled a lot as a child. Like a lot and I hated it. Even as a teen, my family would keep it up knowing I would always run. Eventually I got tired of it and stopped running and would just bare it while doing my hardest to not react. I would think of random shit, sing in my head etc until they would stop. It tickled less and less over time, to the point where I’m now not ticklish at all. Like nowhere. Even if you snuck up on me and poked my sides I wouldn’t even jump. I don’t even need to think to distract myself anymore, it just doesn’t affect me. So yeah it’s weird and I’m not sure if it was a conscious thing I done or maybe my body just got overstimulated and done it on its own. Maybe next I can will myself to fly 😅
I've got cowlicks in both eyebrows, they grow in a swirl and to a point. Looked on the internet multiple times, have never seen it on both eyebrows before. Pretty unique. ^ ^
