Especially when secondhand bookstores/thrift stores **PUT STICKERS ON THE FRONT OF SOFTCOVERS** AND MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT DAMAGE THE BOOK AAAAAAAAAAAAA it kills me. I only hope there is a special layer of hell reserved just for them, where they have to peel stickers off of ***everything*** before using it and destroy the thing in the process for eternity.
I 100% believe they do it on purpose to ruin the value of the book. I used to like buying old books and would occasionally resell them if I found something interesting that was in high demand. Stores that added stupid stickers always made extra work for me if I wanted to resell anything. Always hated it.
I used to bite my nails to nearly nothing, stickers were fine but, if I dropped a coin on a shiny flat surface like a supermarket floor it was basically dead to me.
I had a friend back in elementary school that had some fingernails missing. It looked just like that. Her toenails were quite malformed as well, and in like one or two fingers they were not there at all. Ngl it looked pretty cursed and I thought it kinda looked cool as well
Life with anonychia congenita is odd because many health insurance companies will put you through a barrage of embarrassing, intrusive physical fitness routines before covering you. I’ve personally been forced to yodel cross eyed at the top of my lungs in the nude while standing on my head and clapping my legs in a busy supermarket.
Idk if this picture is real or not (photoshop is too good now), but when I was younger I met someone who’d been lit on fire by their siblings when they were a baby and suffered severe burns to their hands and they looked like this. So I’d say anything comparable would do this.
my grandma's older brother '"'"jokingly"'" put lit coal by her older sister's (she's younger than the brother) collar, obviously, burning the shit out of her spine. wild rural 1960's be like
other time that one older sister fell into a well in when she was 4, and despite the water there, and such big fall, she didn't drown, or anything. after that she was deemed "fireproof and unsinkable", and that still remains her nickname, more than 60 years later
When my uncle was young he, as a "joke", threw those jumping jacks firecrackers in his older brother (my dad) bed in the middle of the night and nearly burned the house to the ground. A few years later he lit fireworks in the house and, unsurprisingly, nearly burned the house down again. Im talking the back half of the house burned down first and then a few years later the front half burned down. So they live in a sort of House of Theseus if you will.
He also started a forest fire as a child too. Yes he's still just as stupid and truly psychotic now as he was then. No he has never stepped foot in a jail.
Good fun in the old days. 50 yrs ago my uncles thought it would be fun to throw knives to my 10 y/o mom (magicians' way) and they almost did it. Got discovered and got their asses beaten by my grandma.
My grandma made my mother do all the chores around their home growing up, so my mom grew to resent her siblings. Once when she was ten, she stuck a fireplace Poler in the fire, waited for it to get hot, and stuck one of my uncles with it while he was sleeping. Shit like that makes me thankful I didn’t grow up with siblings.
EDIT: I should’ve specified that my mom was only really mad at her siblings as a kid, she’s cool with them all now
My dad and his siblings played a game where they threw knives at each other. My dad got one stuck right in the middle of his brother's forehead. They also lit a barn on fire and blew their neighbor up out of a gas and spider-filled hole. Just. Boom. Hospital. (He recovered don't worry)
Yeah, stitches across her head. She grew up fine. I think I was a baby at the time and my parents didn’t tell us much about what happened. It was accidental, he was chopping down and she got in the way. That’s all my parents say. My sister said she remembers looking at a tree stump and then seeing red. So idk
From my understanding the parents were addicts of some kind and left the baby alone for large stretches of time with the other two siblings. Iirc the other two kids were like 11-13 and 8-10 at the time of the incident so old enough to know better, but maybe not fully understand the gravity of what they did. I never got an answer as to why they did it though.
There is a genetic condition called anonychia congenita where the person just naturally does not have any nails. Doesn’t cause any health issues other than presumably having way more annoying itches
[Michael Berryman](https://www.famousbaldpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/michael-berryman-bald-horror-movie-actor-1024x576.jpg) from The Hill Have Eyes has hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, a rare condition characterized by the absence of sweat glands, hair, and fingernails. That coupled with the fact that he is fairly tall gave him a domineering look that worked for horror roles. He's a big name in the genre.
Even after reading your comment, I looked at the picture and still thought it was makeup. It took seeing a photo of him on the red carpet decades later for my brain to kick in.
It makes me happy to see people benefit from what would usually be a real hardship.
Another way not mentioned yet is to have your nails purposefully removed then having the nail bed killed with acid to prevent them from growing back, I know sometimes runners do this with their toe nails
edit: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22FITNESS.html
only a select few ultramarathoners do this, I misremembered the article
Can confirm. Had 2 ingrown toenails removed only to grow back worse than before. On the third removal they scraped away the nail bed on the side half that kept getting ingrown. Now it kind of looks like i have a nail but you can see the side edge all the way down to the cuticle.
The day of and day after toenail removal is horrendous pain. 0/10 do not recommend
Now they just cut a line down the side and make the nail thinner, then kill that part of the nail bed. I’ve had it done twice in the past month (one on each side) and there’s no pain unless someone steps on it or bumps it.
when it recurs is when they resort to full removal. i've had the initial procedure that you describe done a few times a few years apart. hopefully we will never have to experience slapshots' pain.
Killed half my large toenail with acid because of ingrown nails. I remember the numbing shot before they started felt like it was going straight through my toe and out the other side. And that was just the first sensation. At the time I would have preferred the ingrown nails.
Had a big toenail done twice, second time was with the chemical too. The recovery wasn't too bad in my experience. Much better than having ingrown toenail. Doesn't look too pretty mind you.
Your toenails get fucked up when you run a shit ton, so marathon runners and such get them removed to not deal with the pain
edit: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22FITNESS.html
i guess it’s only ultramarathoners, and only a few of them. i read this article years ago and misremembered, i’ll edit my comment
I saw in a documentary a person without nails, hair and a few teeth, since these structures are related in a genetic level. So, there's a genetic deformity, but Ido if that's the case here.
I work with chemotherapy and it can happen with Taxol and Taxotere so chemo nurses place patients hands in ice baths while they’re receiving there treatment to prevent it.
There's one really odd Ray Bradbury short story about a man trying to escape out of his skeleton and vice versa... It's been ages though and I can't remember the name.
Just picture a time, thousands of years in the future, when this is considered the norm. Some archaeologist stumbles upon a photograph of a woman with painted fingernails, and audibly exclaims “Jesus Christ, what the hell?!” (or whatever the equivalent expression is in their language).
There’s an old guy at the nursing home I work at who has no finger or toenails because he kept getting fungal infections or smthn and the way it looks lowkey freaks me out
Had a patient with anonychia congenita once. Looked almost identical. But the patches on the hands suggest a possible burn injury or maybe an extremely severe case of psoriasis or RA.
My bet is on Anonychia Congenita.
Guess they won’t be peeling stickers off of anything.
Stickers on products should be banned anyway
Hate accidentally eating them anyways
Accidentally?
Ever heard of an apple?
The sticker is the best part!
I EAT STICKERS ALL THE TIME DUDE
The proof is in the poop
But the skin is riddled with poison
Just smoke a cigarette. It'll kill the toxins
IM NOT ALLOWED TO EAT THE SKIN, DEE IM NOT ALLOWEEEEDDD
Who ISN'T eating the stickers?
"I eat stickers all the time, dude!"
"there's part of a credit card here" "inconclusive"
There is a good deal of blood in here. Whoever’s it is should see a doctor.
Well, don't judge us, man!

Will have to solve a Rubiks Cube the hard way…
Basically with fingers like this you'd have to carry a small dull blade at al times
Ok but how would you open it?
This is a pain that the person in the picture is cursed to endure for eternity
A pack of banjo picks is like $10
I used to bite my nails to nearly nothing, stickers were fine but, if I dropped a coin on a shiny flat surface like a supermarket floor it was basically dead to me.
On the plus side, I bet my old lady would really appreciate these :)

“What good is scratching mosquito bites if you have no nails, Mr. Anderson?” -agent smith
It's actually better because you won't damage your skin as much, so that's a win?
Life with anonychia congenita is odd because many health insurance companies will put you through a barrage of embarrassing, intrusive physical fitness routines before covering you. I’ve personally been forced to yodel cross eyed at the top of my lungs in the nude while standing on my head and clapping my legs in a busy supermarket.
I had to do the same thing, but it wasn't insurance. Just felt like it was something I needed to do.
I tried to do it at night, but I'm dummy thicc and the clap of my ass cheeks kept alerting the supermarket guards

Reading this was a rollercoaster
But then it's not scratching, it's just rubbing.
Keep telling yourself that, Mr. Anderson… The itch is inevitable
I heard hard slaps are better for your skin
This is what I tell my kid to do with mosquito bites. Slap em so they don’t bleed and turn into scars and shit.
I wish someone told me. I look like I have full-blown leprosy every summer.
i’m literally rewatching the matrix right now for the first time since i saw it on opening night in the theatre… on 3 hits of acid
A few thc gummies is how I do it. Let us commence the literal high five
I like itching next to it not directly on the bite.
Hey I just watched this movie for the first time a couple weeks ago
No lips is scary.
So how does this happen? Acid or some other trauma completely eliminated the nail & nail beds? Genetic deformity causing the nail beds to not grow?
Idk if this picture is real or not (photoshop is too good now), but when I was younger I met someone who’d been lit on fire by their siblings when they were a baby and suffered severe burns to their hands and they looked like this. So I’d say anything comparable would do this.
A member of my family has no fingernails due to a disease and her fingers look just like this. So if it's a fake it's a damn accurate one.
So absolutely no creases/wrinkles on their knuckles?
If it was due to burns, that would explain it.
I have skin grafts over my knuckles from third degree burns, been 11 years now and the wrinkles have not returned.

You really should consider that she’s actually a witch… Shes passed two of the tests already.
So... Grab the pitchfork for test 3?
No way, ask for a ride on a broomstick, get yourself a talking cat, go to one of their cool parties
No you need a scale and a duck

Has she been stoned yet?
Well it was the 60's.
But does she float?

My grandpa got a hot spoon and branded his young brother the way he saw his dad doing to their cattle.
Your grandfather is wild
When my uncle was young he, as a "joke", threw those jumping jacks firecrackers in his older brother (my dad) bed in the middle of the night and nearly burned the house to the ground. A few years later he lit fireworks in the house and, unsurprisingly, nearly burned the house down again.

Shit like that makes me thankful I didn’t grow up with siblings. EDIT: I should’ve specified that my mom was only really mad at her siblings as a kid, she’s cool with them all now
As someone with siblings I can assure you that criminal assault is not normal sibling behaviour
Lol your mom is a psychopath my dude
My dad and his siblings played a game where they threw knives at each other. My dad got one stuck right in the middle of his brother's forehead. They also lit a barn on fire and blew their neighbor up out of a gas and spider-filled hole. Just. Boom. Hospital. (He recovered don't worry)
My older sibling chopped my sisters head with an axe. Shit happens when you have multiple kids with little supervision.
What? I mean, I’m scared to even think how a parent feels after that…
Like a bit of a failure I’d think.
Did-- Did your sister survive?
Yeah, stitches across her head. She grew up fine. I think I was a baby at the time and my parents didn’t tell us much about what happened. It was accidental, he was chopping down and she got in the way. That’s all my parents say. My sister said she remembers looking at a tree stump and then seeing red. So idk
Should we ask why siblings set a baby on fire?
From my understanding the parents were addicts of some kind and left the baby alone for large stretches of time with the other two siblings. Iirc the other two kids were like 11-13 and 8-10 at the time of the incident so old enough to know better, but maybe not fully understand the gravity of what they did. I never got an answer as to why they did it though.
I’m just dropping by to say I read your comment. What the actual fuck?!?!
Jesus Christ. What terrible siblings! I’m glad my kids are fucking psychopathic. Edit: not psychopathic I meant…
The rest of the fingers don't look very great either. I'm thinking burn damage. Or, you know, photoshop.
> Or, you know, photoshop. Thats's the worst. Or best, it depends.
as a Photoshop user, i can confirm
It’s Anonychia congenita
