"My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have 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

I had a mate with mechanical heart valves. And yup, you could hear him ticking! Thing is, it wasn't a steady tick like a clock, it speeds up and slows down as hearts tend to do so often it didn't tick exactly when you expected it to.

    My son was born with CDH (congenital diagraphamic hernia). Most of his organs (colon, stomach, liver, spleen) were in his chest cavity. Only his kidneys, half of his pancreas and bladder were in his abdomen. His lungs were very underdeveloped (because the other organs took up most of the space in the thorax) and his heart pressed against the very right side of the thorax. Luckily he survived and is a happy toddler now.

    We're all human beings, but there are infinite possibilities to how we can look. With over 8 billion of us on the planet, we're bound to share some traits, but we can't all have 10 toes or hearts that function properly without a little extra help. And there's nothing wrong with these unique quirks we might have. In fact, they should be celebrated! For example, I have unusually small nostrils, so if I inhale through them extremely hard, I can suck both of them in until they fully close up. My elbows and a few of my fingers are double jointed. I have a several quite visible birthmarks, one of which was fire-engine red when I was born but has since stretched out into tiny red splotches on my chest.

    To learn more about how this fascinating conversation about the unique qualities of our bodies got started, we reached out to Reddit user MissingYouB, who posed the question, "What's unusual about your body?" They told Bored Panda that they had recently spoken with a friend who was depressed about a deformity that they have and decided to ask others if they have something unusual about their body to prove that none of us should be insecure about these traits. "You need to love your body no matter what," they added.

    Why anyone would feel the need to colour over their grey is beyond me. I LOVE mine. It’s not a slinky salon-grey either, it’s real, grizzly grey. People be different, I suppose, but I sure hope there aren’t too many people who slab colour all over their heads because they think they don’t look good enough without it. I get that feeling sometimes but I hope that it isn’t true. I hope people only slab colour all over their heads because they want that specific colour.

    My grandma died at 90, with no gray hair. My mom is 77 with no gray hair. My sisters are 55 and 57, and you guessed it: no gray hair, so I always just assumed we don't get gray hair. Until one day my daughter was braiding my hair and made me aware I have a tiny patch of all white hair. Everyone else has brown hair, whereas mine is (dirty-) blonde, so I don't know if that's why mine isn't acting like theirs.

Most of my hair fell out. My hair is no longer As red as it was, some of the hair grew back White & the rest grew back but much thinner, but I don’t have any grey hairs. I might be grey by the time I’m 70. Thing is I want grey hair but I refuse to dye it. Except for a few laugh lines around my eyes & mouth, I don’t have any wrinkles & I have some gnarly scars from the meningococcal Septicaemia except for my face, didn’t get any lesions on my face at all but I did get one inside my eye. I’ve been told that red heads don’t go grey their hair just gets lighter & lighter as they age

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have When i was born my umbilical cord was inside out and it was the first time the hospital 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)

    Another fake story. The umbilical cord cannot be "inside out" and have the fetus survive past the pint when it starts transferring nutrients to the fetus from the yolk sac. It is a tube of tissue with an artery and two veins inside, embedded in jelly. There is no "inside out" any more than an arm can be "inside out".

    We also wanted to gain some insight on this topic from an expert on the human body, so we reached out to Dr. Shahina Braganza, a senior Emergency Medicine doctor working in the public health service in Queensland, Australia. Dr. Braganza was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda about how common it is to have an unusual quirk in or on our bodies.

    "I’m pretty sure that most people would have a unique trait or quality - or perhaps a combination of them," she shared. "When you think about how a human is conceived at a genetic level, how the embryo develops, and then how humans develop after birth and throughout their life, it is highly likely that that each person has at least one unique feature, small or large."

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have 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 have the same issue with hot temperatures. Once it gets above 75F, I can barely function. I actually have a vest full of fancy ice packs that stay frozen for up to 8 hours and I need to wear it if I have to be outside for more than 2 minutes in the heat. However, I do not need a jacket until the temperature drops below freezing, and I'm rarely cold enough for a heavy coat. MS is fun.

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have 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.

    We also asked Dr. Braganza if she has ever come across any particularly fascinating traits in her practice. "I'm surprised every shift!" she told Bored Panda. "I work in an emergency department so, typically, we are seeing people for an urgent issue, and they may have an interesting bodily trait that may or may not be related to that issue. We may see people with hyper-mobile joints, for example a thumb that can touch the middle of the same forearm. We sometimes see people with extra digits on their hands or feet."

    "At times, we X-ray or scan someone and will find something unexpected with their internal organs eg. dextrocardia where the heart is inside the right side of the thorax instead of the left, or situs inversus where all the organs in the thorax and abdomen at on the ‘wrong’ side," Dr. Braganza continued. "I once had a patient with left-sided lower abdominal pain - which made us think, 'Well, that’s definitely not appendicitis', but then they had a CT scan and their appendix was in fact on the left side!"

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have 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.

    In college I knew a girl who had a third breast. It was a abt 3-4 inches below one of her other breast. It was about training bra size. The kicker was she wore shorts and a jog bra to exercise in. Her third breast was just out. It wasn’t obscene but it definitely was a nude breast. I was never quite sure what to think of it being out.

    And when it comes to whether or not we should be concerned about these quirks we may have, Dr. Braganza says, "It’s very variable. Of course different doesn’t mean abnormal or that there is cause for concern. It could just be a normal variant in that person."

    "As a general guide, if there is an unusual trait, if it is causing pain, discomfort or an inability to function as usual, then it should be assessed by a health professional," she added.

    A lot of people in the comments think that a small reaction from soaps or detergents means an allergy. Stop diagnosing yourself and just get tested. It has to do with hystamine levels. Perfume is agressive on almost everyone. Sensitivity and allergies arent the same thing and knowing which is which might make a difference

    I'm the opposite. I grew up without any allergies, but sometime in my late teens I started feeling pain when eating a fruit that, not only had I been eating it my entire life, but my grandparents actual grew in their yard so I ate TONS growing up... nowadays if I eat more than 1, I start feeling like I've gargled acid and stripped a layer of skin off my mouth. (It is 'oral allergy syndrome', not a true allergy, I do not experience anaphylaxis, just pain.)

    Got mild allergies all my life but they keep changing. Was allergic to soap for all my childhood (still sensitive to harsh detergents), ditto to bug bites (even a mosquito or ant bite gives me a fever & a big hive). The severity of skin allergies has gotten milder, but they all remain. In my old age (I'm 64), ammonia gives me an asthma attack (I don't suffer from it otherwise) & I get a rash from the glue in bandages (not latex, the adhesive). It's good to know allergies change, I just wish I were less "delicate".

    'cant swim any faster' than what? You without the webbing? Obviously that can't be measured so you'd be comparing yourself to an average person of your age except you won't have done that bc it would be meaningless. That statement is asinine and not thought through properly. It is quite possible that you DO swim faster than a theoretical you without the webbing so be happy at your speed. Even if you don't win races, it may just be bc you aren't that skilled so you need webbing on ALL toes to make up for your (for example:) lesser arm strength or breathing 🫁 action. Webbing between fingers would be far more beneficial. 🏊🏼‍♂️

    I just now posted a response, but forgot to mention other traits that I've inherited. I have my mother's hands, fingers and nails. All are very different from most people, but normal in my family. As an example, my sister and I both have no toenail on our little toes. Very odd. I also have thumbs that automatically curve backwards when I hold my hands straight. My fingernails and toenails are curled down at the sides rather than flat, exactly like my Mom's were. I think the worst thing I inherited from both Mom & Dad are the bunions on both feet. But unlike them, I've had my bunions repaired. I recall having pain in those bunions back as far as I can remember into early childhood. I coped with it as a child by sleeping on my stomach and letting my feet dangle over the end of the mattress. I was a teenager when pointy-toed shoes were popular, and you seriously couldn't buy anything else, so I grew up with constant ingrown toenails!

    I have a similar thing with my toes. I've researched it and studied everything I can find about the subject and the conclusion seems to be that it's a "congenital anomaly". This means you inherited that genetic trait from your parents, who carried those genes, whether they had the webbing themselves or not. It's not uncommon, especially in my family. It could have come from one parent or both. You should take a good look at your parents' feet. You might find lots of similarities.

    There can even be benefits to having a unique trait. "If you’re super lucky, you may have qualities that increase your resistance to infection or that help you to heal rapidly," Dr. Braganza noted. "If nothing else, you have an ice-breaker for starting a conversation."

    "I think society has become much better at recognizing the value of diversity in people, and we are now better at celebrating that which makes each of us unique," she added.

    Omg I can smell sickness too!.. or more so, I think it's the immune response that I'm smelling. I know this sounds crazy, but my bf received a covid booster 2 months ago, and I said "you smell like my kids when they're getting sick".... almost like the smell of tin, if I try to describe it. Our cat layed on his chest purring that night. Our cat will usually sleep next to us, but when we're sick, he sleeps on our necks or chests... I think he smells the same thing, just probably way more acutely... I'm all about vaccines btw! This isn't a dig on that! I have 2 school aged kids that catch everything, and I swear I can smell it! It was just a shock to smell it on someone else, so I'm thinking it's a person's immune response rather than the illness that I smell.

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have 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 used to play a good standard of football/soccer and played with a guy who every pre-season had the most horrendous skin shedding on his feet. The skin would just peel off like he had soaked his feet in water for hours and hours.

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have I am biologically and male presenting, but I've got huge tits. Like stage 4 gynecomastia. I've had them basically my entire life, and they've never been affected by my changes in weight. Doctors have confirmed they are legitimately breast tissue. I always hated them, made highschool a living hell. But now I'm a grown adult, I identify as non-binary so I no longer feel bad about not having a "masculine" chest. I consider getting rid of them every so often but I legitimately wouldn't know what life would be like without them and I feel I'd look inproportionate without them.

    Probably not the case for you as you have seen a dr, however my son never grew after 8th grade (5' 10) but developed feminine breasts. He was overweight so we thought that was related. Made high school a living hell as he played football. By 11th grade I was really worried as never seemed to go through puberty. By senior year I had his dr check for hormones. He had Zero Testosterone! Turns out he has a pituitary tumor (above your nose and front of brain) called prolactinoma that shuts down growth hormones and T. More common than people realize. I now try tell parents to have their sons checked if I see it as I so wish someone would have told me. As you can imagine it is not always well received but I try to be as tactful as possible. Wish I could afford breast surgery for him. He is grown now and doing well but still has the tumor.

    I too have "breasts" and not a chest. I was/am so embarrassed by them I have considered everything from self removal to suicide. I cannot afford to have the surgery to remove them and at my age (53) I am doomed to be the freak at the beach for the rest of my life. My youth was spent hiding my body more than enjoying life. I wouldn't remove my shirt for sex until I was married for 5 years. I know I'm a freak of nature and try to live with it but I still hate myself and my body. Sometimes I dream of being in an accident where I slide on my front side until I'm "normal" chested by the road rashes. Then I would be flat chested and have an explanation for the scars.... I'm NOT looking for recognition or sympathy. I know 99.9% of people laugh and make fun of me when I do get the courage to go topless and 99% of everyone reading this would do the same even though they may not admit it out loud. I'm done with my rant now. We deformed hate ourselves more than you could imagine....

Most of us have "imperfections", small or large, & spend a lifetime rejecting our own bodies because of them.

    This is actually happening more and more often because we no longer have a use for wisdom teeth. They were originally to replace other teeth that had fallen out, but since we take much better care of our teeth now we've started to stop using them.

    This relates to a topic that interests me, modern human evolution. On our evolutionary road to becoming humans, our big brains crowded our skulls and narrowed our jaws, making it difficult for the third row of molars to emerge from the gums. And after we began cooking our food and developed agriculture thousands of years ago, our diet became softer. This switch to soft grains and starches required less strenuous chewing than our past hunter-gatherer diet. This meant our jaw muscles didn't grow as strong as they used to, keeping the wisdom teeth beneath the gums increasing the risk of painful and deadly infection. A few thousand years ago, a mutation popped up that prevented wisdom teeth from growing at all. Now one in four people are missing at least one wisdom tooth. The people who are most likely to be missing at least one wisdom tooth are the Inuit of the northernmost regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska.

    I've read the reason why we have crooked teeth is precisely because of the transition to soft food, especially as kids. Without the need to chew harder things, this lack of muscle development or stimuli or whatever it is, is what makes the teeth sink inward

    I only had one too. It finally came down and started to grow crooked so I had to get it pulled. That was when I learned that my "superpower" is apparently strong roots on my teeth. The dentist basically had to kneel on my chest to get enough leverage to pull the tooth. And I was awake the whole time for it. Worst power ever.

    "My Feet Look More Like Paws Than Human Feet": 35 People Confess What Body Anomalies They Have 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 have what is decidedly not a small hole about 2 inches above my a**s on my backside. As in, it's big enough to comfortably fit a US penny. I don't know how deep it is because there's a skin graft over it that's been getting stretchier over time, but currently it's possible to push about an inch and a half into it without any resistance besides the skin around it reaching tension limit. The weird thing is, the bones above and below it respond to exactly the same stimulus (ie. if one is hurting the other is too without fail).

    That’s a tasteful collodion job. In the picture, I mean. A bit sloppy perhaps, and with no underwork of scar colouration it’s a bit too obvious, but with some practice whoever put it there will be able to present something fairly real looking. They got one of the most important parts; don’t overdo it.
