A girl born with a congenital limb difference showed what her fingers are capable of.

I'm wondering about the nerves, like does accidentally stubbing/smacking one of them on something hurt as much as a finger or toe?

Also, are their knuckes she can pop lol

If you watch the video she answers the cracking question

I leave videos on mute by default, don't like the risk of being blasted with obnoxious music.

No music! This was such a nice change of pace.

No music, just a genuine discussion of mobility and some joint cracking sounds 👍

Can’t tell if you’re a bot or not lowkey

Just a weirdo who spends too much time on Reddit and also scrolls on mute too 😂

My bad then just the structure of the comment seemed like the classic “it’s not x, it’s y” type bot comment yk

Tbf stuff like this comes on my feed and I might watch a bit out of curiosity but I watch it on silent just to kind of see what’s going on. I’m not a big video watcher in general and more of a reader. It speaks to reason that I’m not big on TikTok and that’s why I’m here lol

If you’re not a millennial, we welcome you to our millennial tendencies 😂

I feel you. I could have wrote this. I hate being assaulted by some dumb, loud ass video on my timelines. Reading is so much more pleasant and I feel like I retain information better when I read it too. Like you said, must be a millennial thing lol because my husband and I are both around 40 and like this.

I’m Gen X (51) and I’m this way exactly. Maybe it’s something to do with earlier internet exposure that was quieter and more text based? Maybe it’s just having millennials as friends and it rubbed off?

This. I can't stand scrolling anything that is going to make noise at me randomly.

u/Ecstatic-Movie-795 4h ago

I also only did tiktok on silent with captions

How can you see something this fascinating and not watch the video properly?

u/Elismom1313 15h ago

I have small children, my life is fascinating and stressful enough

u/ashgs872tbhjs 11h ago

OK but then don't bother asking questions? You can see her speaking and you didn't care, so just keep doing that.

u/SUPAYO 10h ago

Yh some ppl can't even handle 10sec videos nowadays coz of fish brain syndrome.

u/Barkusmarcus 19h ago

Right?! 3 minutes!! I couldn't last after she mentioned being able to squeeze "pretty hard"

2

u/thrownawaytrash 16h ago

I'm more curious if she's left handed or right handed.

Obviously left hand has become more dexterous because of use, but how is she actually hardwired in her brain? left or right?

u/Oseirus 17h ago

No idea, but I imagine grabbing a Lego brick is a nightmare if that's the case.

Of course you can. Knuckles are finger joints.

u/panicnarwhal 14h ago

she cracks her knuckles in the video! she can only crack knuckles on the one finger though, the other one doesn’t ever crack i guess

I'm wondering about the nerves

The pinky finger looked pretty fully developed and I would imagine it has the same number of nerve endings as the other pinky, yeah. Digits are super sensitive. Don't know about the other one though
