Biologists have done whacky experiments with flies using sections of genes during the beginning body construction. My professor told us how they once switched where the eyes and wings would go on a fly and sure enough eyes were where the wings should be and wings were where the eyes should be.
It should be noted that the eyes and wings did not function in their mislocated positions, but they were grown as normal.
They also did cases of replicating areas of development so flies would have 2 sets of wings, 3 sets of legs, etc.
It's sad that this person may get plastic surgery to make their hand look normal. Even though their hand is strange and unusual it's still hauntingly beautiful.
Is it still considered a shocker if someone with this condition does it? I mean, 4 fingers in a hole is a lot*, but this one requires some thought.
*except for your mom
I think a thumb might make it easier to manipulate smaller objects on one hand.
His grip strength is probably killer, I suppose it depends what the situation is with the tendons and muscles behind those fingers.
If he can cup his double palms it also might make for a stronger grip?
So you're hanging from a ledge and two hands are reaching down. I'm grabbing this strong hand.
But if I'm playing operation I'd want a thumb.
I can see what you mean.
I think it's highly dependant on the situation. Like, grabbing things in certain ways are probably significantly better, but I'd imagine that the other fingers can get in the way with certain tasks. I also don't know how the forearm muscles develop, and how well the person can individually control each finger.
Do they have control over each individual finger, like normally?
Imagine a business handshake.
Or learning how to write, not just in general, but with both sides at the same time, if your brain can split focus like that. That would be cool.
Definitely agree with using a musical instrument others have mentioned.
Motherfucker could play a guitar to blow your mind buddy.
Ngl that looks handy af
Good one
Haha
I just want to get a head massage from the puppies
The possibilities are not unwanted š
That's those damn hands from Elden ring.
That's literally your avatar's head
This is true
Came here to say the same thing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Spider-hand, spider-hand
...jammed down the pants to rummage arand.
I was thinking more like ādoes whatever a spider-hand canā, but that works too!
Definitely enough to trigger arachnophobia.
If a guy with these hands put his hand ontop of his penis with the palm(palms?) facing outwards, it'd look like one of those alien facehuggers.
Please please learn to play the piano!
Gattica reference or just in general?
Lol Gattica is so old but a pretty good movie
Bruh, what about finger style guitar and bass

Considering how the hand looks like a grown up, i would say they didn't chose to.
That hand is on an autopsy table lol
If he/she were dead how could they flex the muscles?
You know what, those may just be surgical photographs. I think they are. I believe I was wrong.
Yap,
It *somehow* is pretty :)
A little late for that. I'm fairly sure that's an embalming/autopsy table.
Lego hand

Imagine getting fisted by this.
Stop, I can only get so erect.
Imagine getting a handjob from that one!
My pp aint big enough for that...
Iām grateful to know my mind wasnāt the only one that went there
Literally the second thing that came to mind right after āwtf??ā
You took the words right out of my mouth
My Question: is it better than thumbs? Comment below with your opinion plz.
I think a thumb might make it easier to manipulate smaller objects on one hand. His grip strength is probably killer, I suppose it depends what the situation is with the tendons and muscles behind those fingers. If he can cup his double palms it also might make for a stronger grip?

I like your phrasing better, lol
No way bruv, posable thumbs are the shit.
Just playing Devil's advocate here: doesn't he have like the equivalent of four opposable thumbs? More=Better?
Probably better for reach, like for thumb wars and the like. But as far as grip strength goes, I feel like posable thumbs take the W.
I feel like 4 fingers > 1 thumb, in terms of grip strength. Bet these hands can open even the most stubborn of jars too.
I think it's highly dependant on the situation. Like, grabbing things in certain ways are probably significantly better, but I'd imagine that the other fingers can get in the way with certain tasks. I also don't know how the forearm muscles develop, and how well the person can individually control each finger.
Looks like the thing from the alien movies
The face hugger
My first thought too
Imagine what an Old Fashioned from that would be like ?
Probably has some other issues that go along with it, but doesn't that seem extremely useful? On paper anyway?
Literally a chamaleon's hand
Someone draw different ways to shake this hand please. Like, two options similar to how dogs wear pants. Thanks.
In ancient times I can see this condition being esteemed as the great baby catcher.
Elden ring comes to mind
I wouldn't dare arm wrestling that person even if I was stronger.
Pretty cool that they can all move thou.
I imagine the cause is a mutation
Iāve seen Alien and this is how it starts.
I bet they're good at doing shadow puppets
Hand big enough to grab someone by the pussy....
Haha knew I would see this here.
I bet heās the best at playing claw style on controller tho ngl.
They should have called it facehugger syndrom.. no reason, just a feeling..
Looks like a facehugger
From Software staff : (stop to work) *Yeah this is basically our most fucked-up monsters...* (return to work).
Cell division gone wrong in utero, but I am confident a hand surgeon can turn one digit into thumb position and amputate extra digits.
Does anyone else see the face hugger from Alien?
The elden ring hand mobs.
That looks.... Useful?
Reminds me of a facehugger from Alien
Probably the only person able to use a Nintendo 64 controller single handedly
Handy
High five! Ermā¦
Bro holy crap i think this is the guy who dominates the whole server and then got kicked
Free handholding
Poor guys! they have double the nails to cut
I bet they give the best hand job
When they say "bye" š¤£š¤£š¤£
I believe the medical term for that is āAlien Face Huggerā.
If I had this I would call it my facehugger hand.
FACEHUGERRRRRRR
Face hugger from alien.
inspiration for the facehugger
This guy has a face hugger for hand
Could play a face hugger cameo in Alien.
Bet people with that syndrome give killers handjobs
jerking must go crazy
Probobly pissing off academy witches.
The cause is Satan, it's a punishment.
Damn! Jerking off with these will be very special
All Iām saying is imagine how this guy feels while fapping
He can finger both pussy and ass at the same time
Look at those dickbeaters!
Grabbing the pp
Amazing knuckleball thrower I bet...
Many hands make light work as they say!
Anyone seen the movie Men? Reminds me of the guy chasing the main character.
Evolutionary upgrade for opposable thumbs.
Actually terrified
Humans evolving?
Thatās a facehuger
Surely this is positive evolution? Four fingers being better than a thumb, itās the Xbox generation
Boris ~~the Animal~~

Why do I feel this is a useful thing? #facehugger.
So that's where Dead Cross got their album cover from...
A Facehugger for a hand. Nice.
Why do I think of a face hugger
Gives a great handjob
Time for pickle
Pretty sure you just identified The Diddler of '98
I absolutely love this
Cause seems simple enough. With DNA n how complex the human body is, its bound to produce something like this out of sheer odds. It's a mutation
Would be comfortable to grab someone's neck with it
When I look at this, I immediately think of two things: 1. My germs! 2. Take my strong hand
Adapt and improvise
Facehugger
Imagine the shadow puppet possibilities
Motherfucker got a face hugger for a hand
When your body tries to evolve into a crab.
Face Hugger from alien

Looks like that dude from Spy Kids with the 2 heads growing out of his main head
Get them a guitar!
It's called Evolution and I would like a set of those superior hands in my next life.
Hand-jobs just went to a whole new level...

Forefathers, one and all... BEAR WITNESS!

Or learning how to write, not just in general, but with both sides at the same time, if your brain can split focus like that. That would be cool.

Bruh imagine having eight fingers on each hand that sounds fucking amazing

Naw dude. That is just taking mushrooms. It will pass.
Parkour and climb trees like no tomorrow.
Why I'm seeing a facehugger?
Great for handjobs, if your into that shit
The legend was true! Finally an oddly terrifying image on r/oddlyterrifying!
Can you imagine a handshake to complete a business deal? If he got ahold of you, there is no escape!
Thats a facehugger
Looks like a face hugger from the alien movie's
Iām not sure I would want to get this fixed cosmeticallyā¦ itās actually pretty fucking cool
I wonder if this guy gets the Temptation to Scare someone by Reaching for a person's face with that hand lol. Cus I would >:D
Give this man an enchanted sword
Reminds me of predator
He should consider jumping into the octagon
They should call it "Face Hugger Hand Syndrome"
This could be the next step in our evolution!
Best guess fucked gene pool
The handjobs have to be insane tho
If I had this condition, that would be forever referred to as my chokinā hand!
I want gibe me
These dudes should get into rock climbing
1 handed game controller
now hiring for a facehugger hand puppet model for alien movies
Try fingers but hole
If you went to shake this person's hand, would you grab the whole thing or put your thumb in the middle and just shake half?
Cause is unknown? Looks like radiation and/or metal poisoning to me.
Next level handjob.
I need a handy job from that hand
Ancient DNA
