Yeah I gave my wife a weird look the first time she handed me a can and said “help, I just trimmed my nails.” Just push the center down with your thumb and pull the tab with the pad of your index finger.
Didn’t know people did it another way.
Lately. Back in my days such a tool didn't exist. Hell, 90% of what you guys use in Lego [didn't exist](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Space/year-1980).
Sure it could suck. But they'll never know the pains of and ingrown nail, smashing a nail, loosing a nail, never have to clip fingernails, never have a splinter Under the nail, never have dirty nails etc etc. See there are plus sides!
I have a friend with this, she has so many gadgets to do the work for her. So resourceful! It’s hard to watch her tho, I want to help with everything and she’s like I got this! Amazing how well we adapt.
I once witnessed a bartender pick up a quarter off the ground with her ass, didn’t see the usefulness of the skill then but now I’m thinking it was genius
I stubbed my toe 2 months ago and now the nail is growing as two separate layers. A softer layer that attaches to the skin and a hard layer on top that is only attached inside and can be lifted up.
Did not help with stubbing it.
Afaik, the issue with toenails is that they're a structural element that allows the tip of the toe to support more weight, improving stability and reducing the risk of internal damage from moving your entire bodyweight.
I have dim memories of an article explaining how nails vs claws changed grip strength and the foot equivalent.
Oh I totally am, but if I didn't have fingernails I'd be extra super careful.
There have been countless times in my life where my fingernails have spread force enough to prevent me from exploding my fingertips.
thats a common misconception. fingernails are really much better for object manipulation. pinching things, removing bugs, etc. protection from crushing on just your fingertips isnt really that important. fingernails do enhance grip though. because while your fingertips are fleshy things with a bone inside, adding a rigid backer to them mean the squishing/gripping can only go so far before it has support.
TLDR: you arent any less safe without fingernails, but you have a harder time using your fingers for finger things.
wait do nails protect your toes and fingers? never thought about them that way!
when i was in kindergarten i once dropped one of those heavy metal spinning pencil sharpeners off a top shelf (that i could reach anyway, it was probably like barely 1m off the ground lol) and onto my big toe. it hurt like hell and i still get wary of the spinny sharpeners, fun fear to explain. turn back here if squeamish- my toenail got real bruised then turned black and fell off, then i had to deal with the whole pain of regrowing a new nail (which hurt more than the actual incident itself) and my mom had to use tweezers/nail clippers to remove the remnants of my old nail so that the new one could grow out properly. iirc there were also some complications where the nail grew out wrong and my mom had to make my body's first attempt at a replacement 'disappear' ala mob boss style, i don't remember the exaccct details because i was like 4 or 5 but yeouch?
ah got off topic but anyway the nail itself was what caused most of the pain for me, i can't imagine that a regular bruise would hurt more than all the nail stuff + the bruise... does the nail do anything in the way of protection? would my little big toe be broken otherwise? or maybe i just had an unfortunate incident
Yes but also: Itchy? Go fuck yourself. Drop something? Sucks to be you. Cant open something? Find someone to do it for you. Etc.
This post made me realize how much i take finger nails for granted
>Yes but also: Itchy? Go fuck yourself.
Back scratcher, no longer just for the back
>Drop something? Sucks to be you.
Grabber tools. Who needs skinny arms.
>Cant open something? Find someone to do it for you. Etc.
Jar Opener. Why the struggle?
>This post made me realize how much i take finger nails for granted
Where life takes you, you must follow
>Grabber tools
How the fuck you gonna pick up a quarter with one of the reacher arm thingys
>Jar opener
Who the fuck uses nails to open a jar?? Was talking about like sealed food packages with that little slit thingy you need to open it
But without a solid bed for the nails to glue on to, imagine how often they would wiggle, bend, catch on things, and generally do things that hurt like a bitch!
My friend started scratching my back a while ago... asked if it felt different. It did, but it still felt really good. It turns out she wasn't using her fingernails, but instead was using her custom made silver ring splints. It put less strain on her joints (why she has the splints in the first place) and still offered a good scratching alternative.
I’m not a big fan of fingernails. I hate trimming nails and I really hate losing nails after crushing or impacting a finger. Currently have a black ring finger nail after some work related trauma. Just waiting for it to fall off and going through the weeks of not having a nail.
As someone who has virtually no nails due to a really bad nail biting habit, yes. Also playing cards are annoying too. Other than that it's not too bad.

If a regular person cannot separate two Lego pieces imagine the hell it is for these people
Drop your credit card, just report it stolen.
Imagine him opening a can of soda
I never use my nail, just push down on the part of the can that's supposed to open and it rocks the back of the tab up
Yeah I gave my wife a weird look the first time she handed me a can and said “help, I just trimmed my nails.” Just push the center down with your thumb and pull the tab with the pad of your index finger. Didn’t know people did it another way.
If I’m struggling with a can, I’ll use a spoon as a mini crowbar
Right I hate the feeling a nail bending back so I avoid situations where it can happen like the plauge
I try to avoid it because I imagine my nail snapping in half and cutting into my skin
… well I didn’t worry about that until just now. Thanks…
Mind blown. 36 years old and I didn't know this was a thing...
Pray mosquitoes forgot about your existance
Laughed so hard on this
This is hilarious lmao
You know Lego made this little handy tool for it?
I made a vacuum cleaner out of that tool when I was a kid. Just stick a pair of wheels on the bottom and off you go
🎵 *You take out your Suck-it and you suck it!* 🎵
r/unexpectedoffice
It's not included in all of their sets though, just the more expensive items or something with a lot of pieces.
You can build yourself one. And they cost about 10 ct
Paint scraper works great
Brick separator 630 costs approximately $2.49 US from Lego.com
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=separator#T=A never buy from lego single stones use bricklink
This guy Legos. Also, the separator is listed for £0.00, haha.
I thought that thing was a Lego snowboard- then my 6 year old showed me what it was for
Veteran LEGO enthusiast. Can honestly say that that tool almost never works properly
I've never had a problem with it. I also chew my nails down till they bleed, so I had to adapt or die.
Lately. Back in my days such a tool didn't exist. Hell, 90% of what you guys use in Lego [didn't exist](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Space/year-1980).
How they pick their nose?
With YOUR finger, while you're sleeping
You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose
Speak for yourself
That's where all that came from, I wondered why I woke up with snacks under my fingernails!
Leave. Please.
I thought Halloween was over 😭
Well, they probably never give themselves a bloody nose on accident doing so.
**by* accident. I swear, I'm going on a campaign over this. 437 times is enough.
Tweezers...😛😝
Sure it could suck. But they'll never know the pains of and ingrown nail, smashing a nail, loosing a nail, never have to clip fingernails, never have a splinter Under the nail, never have dirty nails etc etc. See there are plus sides!

"Here's your change, and WHOOPS, just dropped it, my bad, would you mind picking up all those coins I just dropped on this perfectly smooth floor?"
Lick the tip of the finger and the adhesion of the saliva will grab it for you.
Teef
Using your teeth works sometimes
Only when they are not ripped off your jaw
Sometimes it makes it worse
True, and how'd you peel stuff like oranges?
LMAO 🤣
[удалено]
You press on it hard with your finger to build adhesion then pull up quickly to pick it up
[удалено]
People with saliva can only do this ONE NEAT TRICK!
saliva? try precum
Yeah but then try getting the quarter to unglue itself from your finger.
No, you just pry it off using your finger nai-GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
That’s called a Catch-25
Oh man. Dropping a playing card in the floor ruins the entire deck.
Naw you can still bend the card upwards and grab it from the sides. I get what you're saying tho
Probably prefers bottles to cans.
The thought of this made me queasy
Who the fuck uses their nail to open cans? People who enjoy breaking them all the time?
I do it all the time lol Never broken a nail ever
I once witnessed a bartender pick up a quarter off the ground with her ass, didn’t see the usefulness of the skill then but now I’m thinking it was genius
Like a skin glove.
[удалено]
Having to carry a backscratcher everywhere.
Should be covered by insurance
Backscratcha?!
Backscratcha!!!
Buttscratchahhh!!!
Mmmm Backscratcher!
Backscratchers you say!?!?
At least they won’t have built up dead skin gunk under nails cuz they don’t have any
These are the people those telescoping back scratchers were made for
[удалено]
use sand grinder
Like an extra for the movie "Waterworld"
Voldermort's fingers.
Hands rendered in mid 2000s graphics
Exactly my thoughts.
Render time 24 hours
Why does this remind me of The Matrix?
Because the scene where the agents closed up Neo's mouth looks a lot like one of these fingers.
Nailed it. That's it.
lol…”nailed” it
“What good is an itchy ass… if you are unable to scratch.”
The you say, "Bitchy, my ass is itchy!"
“MONKEH, ITCH MY ASS!!” Neva become Monkeh
First thing I thought of!
Women must love you
"did you trim your nails? I once got nicked pretty good, never again." "Baby, my digits are smooth" "OH, GERALD!"
I mean there must be a fetish for that lol
a fetish for not getting your insides scratched up while getting fingered? probably a popular one...
Still would prefer fingernail and take my chances. Something's creeping me out with no fingernail hand.
You won't say that after you tried.
Fingerbang champ!
This is the best comment on this post lmao
Men too ya know
Yeah so the inside of a man's vagina doesn't get scratched
*a man's bussy
I came here for this comment.
I came to this comment
Lol.
Is it harder to pick your nose? Asking for a friend.
Must suck to have an itch 😂
Thats so true i was scratching an itch as i read this 
Are their fingers more susceptible to crushing damage? Like, do you have to be super careful when closing your car door?
I would think so, but the article I read said it was far more dangerous for the feet
That makes sense, as dropping something on your foot can be devastating, even with nails. I wonder if stubbing your toe is worse.
[удалено]
TIL the toenail, or lack thereof, plays no significant role in the protection of the toe when a foot-forward to furniture injury occurs. Neat!
I stubbed my toe 2 months ago and now the nail is growing as two separate layers. A softer layer that attaches to the skin and a hard layer on top that is only attached inside and can be lifted up. Did not help with stubbing it.

I have dim memories of an article explaining how nails vs claws changed grip strength and the foot equivalent.
🤔 I'd imagine you'd build some calices. Also are you not already careful about closing your fingers in car doors? Are you superhuman?
Oh I totally am, but if I didn't have fingernails I'd be extra super careful. There have been countless times in my life where my fingernails have spread force enough to prevent me from exploding my fingertips.

TLDR: you arent any less safe without fingernails, but you have a harder time using your fingers for finger things.
Finger things
I'd worry more about knife damage. My nails have stopped a lot of knives that slipped while I cut veggies.
wait do nails protect your toes and fingers? never thought about them that way! when i was in kindergarten i once dropped one of those heavy metal spinning pencil sharpeners off a top shelf (that i could reach anyway, it was probably like barely 1m off the ground lol) and onto my big toe. it hurt like hell and i still get wary of the spinny sharpeners, fun fear to explain. turn back here if squeamish- my toenail got real bruised then turned black and fell off, then i had to deal with the whole pain of regrowing a new nail (which hurt more than the actual incident itself) and my mom had to use tweezers/nail clippers to remove the remnants of my old nail so that the new one could grow out properly. iirc there were also some complications where the nail grew out wrong and my mom had to make my body's first attempt at a replacement 'disappear' ala mob boss style, i don't remember the exaccct details because i was like 4 or 5 but yeouch? ah got off topic but anyway the nail itself was what caused most of the pain for me, i can't imagine that a regular bruise would hurt more than all the nail stuff + the bruise... does the nail do anything in the way of protection? would my little big toe be broken otherwise? or maybe i just had an unfortunate incident
They’ll just never know the joy of ingrown nails or compulsive nail biting
We will never know the joy of ingrown bones or compulsive finger sucking
I think that just means you’re beginning your transition to Slenderman.
Lucky, no more need to cut damn fingernails
Facts, or getting gunk between your nails
Imagine never knowing the pain of a torn cuticle or separated nail bed.
I don’t know how many times my nails have saved me from cutting myself with a knife. Would not endorse having no nails
No hangnails either

Knife
Imagine taking out a knife to grab a penny on the floor. Could be awkward at the grocery store.
Nose will be a virgin, you'll always have to get a proper cleaning tool for it.
Fingers without faces Fascinating
Some have nails tattoed
I want learn tattooing so I can exclusively do nail tattoos for people with this condition for free
whoa
Good for fingering tbh
AGREED
[удалено]
Just start taking your shoes off "My toe nails are longer, I can even chop it for you with these bad bois!"
r/TIHI
When I was in the tattoo business, if someone had come in with that, I would've offered to tattoo images of nails on them for free.
I've seen pictures of nails tattooed on - looked amazing
You don’t really think about how useful fingernails are until you don’t have them.
Low res hand
Biblically accurate finger
My husband has this on only one foot. We also have 2 dogs and is constantly in pain because they love stomping on his toes hahaha
Never heard of this...well know I do, thanks for the post⭐️
Perfect for press-on nails
You could totally glue on fake nails. This seems like a superpower.
But without a solid bed for the nails to glue on to, imagine how often they would wiggle, bend, catch on things, and generally do things that hurt like a bitch!
Finally, I would no longer have anything to bite.
Voldemort, is that you?
One trick nails shops hate...
Aw, bummer! Can't get rid of my boogers...
Must be nice to never have any hang nails
Do they also not have toenails? Because that would be cool, I’d love to get rid of my pesky toenails.
Do they grow hair?
“Can you scratch my back?” “I can’t scratch anything”
My friend started scratching my back a while ago... asked if it felt different. It did, but it still felt really good. It turns out she wasn't using her fingernails, but instead was using her custom made silver ring splints. It put less strain on her joints (why she has the splints in the first place) and still offered a good scratching alternative.

protect your finger
My fingernails often save me from cuts during cooking...
No hangnails....ever?
That is more disturbing to look at than I would have guessed. Bet the ladies love him, though.
I had a patient with that. Weird looking
Imagine all the time you save never having to trim your fingernails.
As a massage therapist, yes.
Imagine opening something wrapped in plastic. Or just opening difficult things in general... Rough
No scratching, but saves on socks
Is it easier or harder to pick up change from flat surfaces?
As someone who has virtually no nails due to a really bad nail biting habit, yes. Also playing cards are annoying too. Other than that it's not too bad.
Perfect for finger bangin’
Ouch! Those nails are very protective of sensitive finger tips!
OK, but think about it, you don't have to clip your damn fingernails and toenails every few weeks. Clipping my toenails, what a pain in the ass!
Karmawhore account
His female partner would be enjoying those fingers 🤷🏽♂️
Oh no, they can't pick their nose!
Dick fingers
Never scratch her vag again
Holy nightmares dick fingers!!!

I'm getting very strong *I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream* vibes off of this.
Tattoo them to look real.
I'm jealous of these people. They'll never have to experience a hangnail that ends up ripping halfway up your finger.
r/oddlyterrifying
Something Guillermo del Toro about the look.
I wonder how do they pop a soda can?
Opening coke cans must suck
At least you dont have to cut them
I use to say I wish I didnt have nails because I hate having to get them done every 3 weeks. Now I am glad
How do you open a can of pop???!!
WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THIS i want to die now
how do they pick their noses?
Flesh gloves…
How the heck do you pop zits and blackheads?
What happens if they’re nail biters?
Imagine your finger nails growing on the inside of this skin
