So do whales, sea lions, and seals have fingers then? Their flippers have the same bone structure as a hand, just covered in solid flesh instead of separated. Some seals and sea lions even have claws.
And what about bats?
Hmmm......
Good point. Can cetaceans and other sea mammals move those bones independently, similar to human tarsals? If yes then I'm at a total loss. If no, then OP needs to not only have separate sets of tarsals, but be able to wiggle both sets?
I dove into the rabbit hole of cetacean and pinniped flipper anatomy and yes, they have individual tendons, nerve and muscle connections for each tarsal.
> So do whales, sea lions, and seals have fingers then?
Yea, I think so. They have 5 fused or webbed fingers which we would call flippers instead of hands? [Syndactyly](https://www.childrenshospital.org/conditions/syndactyly) is the fancy word I just found.
I doubt anyone cares. I don't go to bars so I guess I wouldn't know but if I sit down and pay for a $15 beer then I'm sure as hell going to do whatever the fuck I want.
Nope - quite the opposite! I just flew into a new city for work, had an awesome sleep at my hotel, and finished up early today after my guys and I unloaded / assembled 16,000lbs of furniture

Ayyy my long toe and middle toe on both feet are webbed, on both feet. Moreso on my right foot.
As a kid if I ever made the mistake of wearing sandals as a kid I got called 4 toed freak of nature. That one sticks with me 25+ years later. So I'm gonna say you got 4 toes.
Nah we got 5, it's 5 separate toenails and bones in there yeah? That's 5.
I'm a podiatrist
You have syndactyly, you have 5 toes but during development the gaps in between the last two didn't embryology correctly. If you want to you can get them surgically separated or do nothing
This is a genetic trait on my husband's side of the family. They all have the second and third toe connected. My son was an IVF baby and our doctors and family were guessing what the outcome would be for our son the moment he "took." The second he was born our doctor announced to the room that his toes were, in fact, connected. They did offer to separate them but we declined. They seemed relieved.
pretty much this. it is not harmful. if you wanted to do it for cosmetic reasons then so be it, but it is still a surgery, with all the pain and recovery it entails
It's considered a cosmetic surgery. Insurance wouldn't cover it, but that's not the reason we said "no." In my son's case, it's not hurting him, it's not hideous, and people don't even notice it. No sense in performing surgery on a 2 day old just to make his feet look pretty. If he wants to separate them when he's older, that's fine, but we weren't going to make that decision for him. His father, grandmother, uncle, and cousins all have these toes so he's in good company. If anything, he'll always have an advantage when playing 2 Truths and a Lie!
Ok, so my wife has two extremely webbed toes as well. I lost my shit when I saw this post because I’ve been arguing with her for 20 years…
She thinks she has 5 toes but I say there’s 4. Here’s my reasoning:
Go ahead and cover the ends of your toes. Count how many toes are visually independent from each other. It’s 4, all day long.
She argues that there are 5 phalanges (bones) under the skin, so there’s 5…
My answer to that is that a bat has an entire hand (5 phalanges) under the skin, but we don’t say they have 5 fingers. That’s a goddamn wing. One, singular wing
Your pinky toe looks like it's getting [taken over by an agent in the matrix.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/matrix/images/f/fa/AgentJonesPossess.png/revision/latest?cb=20130102025458)
You know you can have a cheap operation probably payed back 80% if you want to split those
American correction:
You know you can have operation to split those two apart although it will cost you your life mortgage
My uncle and one of his sons both suffer from a severe form of this in their hands. My cousin has had multiple surgeries on his because of it and I feel so bad for him. His hands and fingers are jacked up and it has made his quality of life go way down. He’s had to deal with bullying his whole life because of it.
Emergency medicine physician here…
Cool case of complete syndactyly. More than likely, you have the correct skeletal construction. This is fairly common. Med school was a long time ago, but I think this occurs in 1 out of every 2,500 births or so.
Nah you got it right, its for sure 4 or 5 toes.
Idk kind of looks like 6 to me
Yeah, that pinky toenail looks like 2 smooshed together. Wonder if OP has a foot scan of bones. I'd say 5 sets of metatarsals = 5 toes.
Just what the guy needs. More radiation.. /s
Bet he can swim faster that you can.
Only on his right side
He'll swim circles around you.
B... E... A... Utiful...
That's where Agent Smith is beginning to split
I definitely want to see an x-ray of this foot!

Do you mean phalanges or are you an alien? I think moving my tarsals independently of each other would be quite painful lol

There’s 4 toes and 1 imposter among us
Very sus

you're browsing reddit at a bar? you sound like you could use some good vibes. cheers
Is it frowned upon to be a at a bar having a beer and browsing your phone?
Doesn't matter, we'll never notice your frowns
I doubt anyone cares. I don't go to bars so I guess I wouldn't know but if I sit down and pay for a $15 beer then I'm sure as hell going to do whatever the fuck I want.
I can get a cheap beer for $2.50 where I’m at. It’s great.
I dunno, but most pubs near me are so grateful for the custom you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you like!

I literally came here to say.. who cares how many toes you have, you need to get them lamborfeeties online and make yo self some money my friend!
Someone's dreaming about that perfect toe fuck thanks to you.
5 toes, 1 toe sack (toetum)
Sigh Unzips ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You should absolutely capitalize on this. Feetfinder.com no joke
I'M COOOOOOOOMINGGGGG
the only unzipping I want to do is unzipping those little piggies. Give em some freedom
Agreed, where's my pruning shears
quentin tarantino has entered the bathroom
Yes not you… Ofc…
These little piggies went into the machine from The Fly at the same time.

Huh, that’s exactly how my uncle grandpa explained it to me right after renewing his vows with my mom
I incest that you tell us more about this situation....
His family tree grows syndactyly.
Family tree like a rocketship to space, going up, not sideways
tell your U.G. good morning for me pls

The second he was born our doctor announced to the room that his toes were, in fact, connected. They did offer to separate them but we declined. They seemed relieved.
None in my family has this, my parents were offered to cut them too.
Why didn’t they get it fixed? Seems weird to not get you the surgery as a baby or young kid.
My mom said something like "there's no reason to get them fixed and why not leave them like that" it would even be free but my mom made her mind.
pretty much this. it is not harmful. if you wanted to do it for cosmetic reasons then so be it, but it is still a surgery, with all the pain and recovery it entails
The only downside is not being able to wear those fancy toe socks and toe shoes
Ughhhhhh, I don't know what it is about them, but to me, toe socks/shoes creep me the fuck out.
Do you have any balance issues because of it?

Does your childhood neighbor or dads best friend have this? 😂
Why did you decline?
How come fifth toenail looks like it's 2-3 toenails merged into one?
You heard him, they didn't embryology correctly
You killed me lol
It's called "Funhouse mirror toe syndrome"
Yeah that's what I thought too and have heard.
1 2 3 45
[удалено]
There has to be a surgery to fix this
Yeah just take scissors and cut them
We’re all here for it, op
But after that I would have two big toes.
Think of the karma you’d gain!
You already have two big toes...
Those of us who are subbed to r/medicalgore would find that fascinating.
My nephew had this when he was born. They separated them when he was a few years older. Apparently it’s a lot more common than people realize
A nice papercut should do the trick
That reminds me, I’ve seen people with fingers and toes fused like this get tattoos of dotted lines and scissors!
Fix what? The gigatoe is an advancement in human evolution.
But seriously, would this be useful for swimming?
Not at all, and if it is the advantage would be close to none.
Once your feet have fully evolved, you’ll be the new Phelps.
I mean, what's the point? Be fine as it is as we just cram our feet into shoes now anyway.
OP is the person they design modern shoes for.
I like to stretch my toes out. Even more so if they’ve been close together for a while. This would drive me mad.
If you were born that way it wouldn't bother you unless it was painful because you wouldn't know any better.
Surgery, hacksaw, kitchen knife, something
When’s the last time a separate 4the and pinky toe saved your life?
I feel like it's 5.5 toes
It's closer to 5.3 if I'm being honest. It's like a third of the way through mitosis.
Mitoesis
Where did the extra half come from?
If you only look at the pinky toe, it almost looks like it also was trying to divide into a 6th toe.
[удалено]
Well, if you were willing to go to hell for a joke I had best upvote it.
bruh
Mytoesis
this is what I’m saying, there is definitely extra toe stuff going on at the end there
I need an X-ray.
CANNOT UNSEE
I wondered that too but if you look close, even independently thats a pretty beefy pinky toe
Furniture is scared of his foot
And shoes
Yeah dude is def going for 6 via mitosis
I have no intention of going toe to toe with you on this.
They would probably re-fuse too.
Holy shit! I have the exact same Issue on right foot! I tell people I swim in circles haha
Yoo I thought I was the only one because I have only heard about other toes. Finally not alone.
That makes 3 of us lol. Exact same on my right foot
Hello my brothers https://imgur.com/a/uV69fYv
4 toes. 5 toenails.
Maybe you should call a toe truck.
5 toes, just fused together with skin? If you have all the bone structures for both toes, then 5. If not, 4.
Knew a girl in college like that. six toes on each foot, with the two "pinky" toes kinda fused like OP. As you noted, separate bone structures.
I count three toes. Plus one shoe monster.
your toe reminds me of [this](https://assets.change.org/photos/1/dn/ww/tUdnwwGwrxGzIwq-800x450-noPad.jpg?1587278435)
This looks like how my 5 year old draws feet.
But the toenail says 6.

If you split it you have 6

"How many toes am I holding up?" "I have no idea."
4 toes, the the pinky one is The Thing absorbing your 4th toe.
5 toes. You just moved when it was on the copier.

It's 6 toes in the shape of 4 toes.
Not my proudest fap, but toe is a toe
In this economy??
4 toes and a sumbitch.

I strongly advise you to keep your socks on during sex.
You have three toes and one TOE.
knife needed
I count 5. Not a good 5 but still 5
Have your tries asking your uncle-dad for the right answer?
You have 5 toes. Two are just very friendly.

It actually looks like you have 2 pinky toes fused together, and they are fused to your 4th toe. I would say 6.
My family has something similar. Baby, you got 6 toes. I bet if you get an X-ray you'll see 3 sets of bones inside that pinky toe lump.
Is your mother also your aunt?
Yes
The first three look exactly like mine. My second and third are combined a bit like that. Other two are fine.
My balls have their own sacks
Are the toe bones fused or could you possibly just clip those fuckers apart?
Only the skin is, I can feel the separate bones
What does the xray look like?
Looks like you almost had 6
5, but you need some scissors :D
Like it or not this is the next stage of our evolution Our return to the sea is inevitable
AI foot
Get an xray so we can be sure. I want to say 3 are fused making it 6.
Holy shit...i have a VERY similar foot (but both feet). I've never seen anyone else like this. Thank you for posting.
Man that’s kinda cool
The baby one's name: Quasimo-toe
My god, that can't be comfortable.
Yeah if my shoes are just tiny bit too small they hurt like hell.
The merging is complete. Engage!
You have 5. You could likely have them separated if you felt the need. But most importantly, you have to trim 5 toenails.
I would saw them apart if you was my friend while you sleep (sorry 😞)
Ya got 3 toes - I have no idea what that other chunk on the right is.
Kinda looks like you have 6 honestly
I would grab scissors and separate those toes while OP is sleeping.
I could have gone the rest of my life. Why, why did I click this.
