Wait a minute, where are the second thumbs?
samtherat6 t1_j8ap0ez wrote
I have one on each of my 2 hands. I believe the third one would be the plastic one.

But what about a fourth thumb? Why stop there. I could make good use of a third arm!

Or a prehensile tail!

I grew out of my collection of plush monkeys, but I never grew out of wanting a prehensile tail. Oh and hands for feet. And a tree house lol

Show me your coccyx

I've pondered whether it's possible to attach a prehensile tail to the human coccyx, link it to the nerves in some way to make it fully functional.
Some time ago there was this: https://www.theverge.com/2012/9/21/3367130/neurowear-shippo-tail-brain-wave-hands-on

a few years ago i was thinking about what if mecha hand got really good would i be tempted to chop off one hand and replace it.
then a few days later it dawned on me that i can just have 3-4 arms instead of just 2.

I am hoping that biomechanical stuff really takes off before my natural body starts to give up. Cancer and heart failure are the leading causes of natural death so it would be nice to have "cures" for both.

Specialist limbs with tools would be useful, like Inspector Gadget.

Oh... oh man, buddy... let's sit down for a minute and talk. Are you looking around at everybody's hands? See how they have two thumbs? And here your hands are and only one thumb. You're... you're missing a thumb, man. Most people have two. It's pretty normal, actually. It's not really a big deal, but I feel like you should know. I hear they make prosthetics with spikes and stuff now, so it could really be more of an upgrade. /s

It was a joke we did with our amputee friend, but okay...
Does angrily typing away on the internet make you feel good or something? That's really not good for your heart rate and I'm sure you can do more constructive things

Haha I would’ve thought the same about you! I’m fine, thanks for the concern though. I simply failed to see the joke.

Fair enough. I'll add the "/s" lol. Safe internet travels

To you as well.
P.S. I’m on mobile, so no kind of typing makes me feel good lol

It’s a RIGHT hand
Pacothetaco69 t1_j8ak0me wrote
I wondered that too, I guess they include the thumb on the other hand?

We have one thumb, yes, but what about second thumb?
