I met a guy in jail that had lobster claws and he could roll cigarettes faster and better then everyone else in fact he would be paid to roll people's cigarettes for them.

I worked in a newborn nursery and one of the babies was born with 6 fingers on each hand and 6 toes on each foot. They were perfectly formed which is unusual. The baby was also born with hemorrhoids. First time I saw that. But other than those abnormalities, the baby was perfectly healthy.

- I'm so grateful for my normal hands and feet now, after watching this video. Even my crazy toes feels quite ok. Just wish no one had to experience these anomalies. Some of them were really severe. Thank you for making this informative video. /Lisbeth from Sweden 🇸🇪

Just feeding the algorithm because I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

When my younger sister was born she had an extra finger on each hand. The doctor was hesitant to tell my dad because I guess they thought he would freak out or something...nope dad laughed and said "that's my girl. I was born with an extra toe" And like my dad's extra toe they tied those extra fingers to cut off the circulation so it would die and fall off. Before you go thinking that that is awful or cruel, it had no bones, muscles or tendons and would never be functional, just a floppy bit of skin with a teeny tiny fingernail. We make jokes about too much chlorine in the gene pool 😆

The first one would give you superhuman guitar skills.

Imagine throwing up gang signs with that first condition, you'd own ANY hood you walked into 😎.

I' ve only know of one case of this birth defect from a girl I still remember to this day from elementary school. Thing is She had the most BEAUTIFUL hand writing I had ever seen for some one her age and handicap. I hope she is still alive and thriving.

Your videos are always so very interesting and educational. I find the mirror hand to be fascinating. If I had that "deformity" and all the fingers were totally functional as shown on the hand at 0:40 and there was no threat to my over all health, I would not want corrective surgery. Nothing wrong with being a little "different".

I enjoy your channel because it's educational, AND because it gives me the creeps.

The work, some of those doctors can do, is amazing!

You always have something new and fascinating. I thought I was aware of every anomaly imaginable, but this was entirely unknown to me.

Fascinating stuff! And well researched. Consider stories on circus sideshow performers of the old days. Their conditions were never explained, they were just gawked at.

Not sure how I should frame this except as observation that throughout the vid, you play spooky, creepy, scary music and sounds while showing the medical anomalies. There's message in there that I'm not sure you mean to convey-- that the anomalies should arouse feelings of fear and perhaps avoidance. I'm thinking the various persons that are displaying these unusual characteristics, some of them obviously children, should likewise be feared and avoided. I hope we are well past that way looking at differences and was happy to note that almost all of your commenters were full of "fascinat[ion]" and curiosity. I'm not suggesting the "Yakkety Sax" or selections from variously labelled "Pathetique"[s] but perhaps something with a little less of the weird. Just so ya know, I'll be back, hopefully to have my yen for curiosities filled.

I wasn't able to watch most of this without my palms and feet feeling uncomfortable. Great work again Luth! you certainly never disappoint.

Extra numerary digits are usually removed when they cause pain, malfunction or prevent use of fingers in some way. Cosmetic being the only reason is usually discouraged in modern medical practice. That said, unless there is appropriate nerve and vascularity extra digits can cause physical problems, as well as mental distress, so are often removed if risk can be shown. It's far more common than people think.

I have Raynauds phenomenon, and I live in a cold state 🥶. My fingers and toes are always cold but, when it snows and I come in after taking my dog out the pain is excruciating. My fingers turn purple. I hate it. I wear gloves for massive cold weather, they don't help. It sucks.

Another fantastic, thought-provoking video, Luth. Thank U.

I had a teacher who had symbrachydactyly. He was born with one hand that had nubs for fingers. Back when he was a kid his family was dirt poor and couldn't afford to do anything about it. By the time he was an adult, they could have helped him but he told us that it didn't affect him at all and he just left it alone. Pretty nice guy, Orville McKnight.

Thank God I was born with "normal" hands and feet. I can't imagine how difficult it was for these people before the corrections were made. Good thing they live in a day when those corrections are possible. Although, I expect the surgeries and rehab are long, painful and expensive.

You make education extremely entertaining & you give me an insatiable thirst for more of your knowledge. Keep up the great work, Luth Luther!

These surgeons did amazing work.

How often to you post? I've missed your videos!! I really enjoy medical oddities/rare conditions, and this was fascinating to me! Thanks so much for a new video

Thank you for sharing some rare and unusual pictures I have never seen before. Also, thank you for letting us look at them instead of you! So many RU-vid presenters show their own face(s) for much of the video run time, usually interspersed with pictures I've seen a thousand times, or irrelevant "cute" pictures that don't illustrate the condition.

Your videos are amazing. I love the information you share.

Yessss, Luth Luther returns to us!

oohh can't wait to watch when I get home

I really wish we didn’t treat disabled people with these kinds of deformities as sideshow freaks. It’s fine to showcase their situations. Clearly I watched this video out of curiosity, too. But can we stop with the suspenseful horror movie music and scary background overlays? Have quiet music and a simple overlay if you’re going to show these people. One of my best friends has Raynauds and there’s nothing sideshow freaky about her. And before the typical AnGrY yOuTuBe CoMmEnTer jumps in, I’m not saying don’t have this kind of video topic at all. I’m just saying be a little kinder about it. You can’t argue (successfully) that kindness for these people isn’t fair and deserved. Oh you’ll argue it, but you won’t be successful at that.

I love your content, Luthie. You are awesome! 😊

For any fellow raynauds sufferers, although this won't help in any areas other than the hands (for those unaware, it can affect your vessels in any part of your body, including your torso, especially effecting the nipples, which can result in nipple death, the brain causing sudden migraines, the ears and nose, literally anywhere), but loose fingerless gloves, especially those made of wool, can really reduce how bad it gets in your fingers. Basically because your wrists and palms are kept warm, the blood going into your finger tips is slightly warmer, hugely reducing what I call "corpse fingers". I got some gloves to wear at all times (much easier when they're fingerless) around November 2022, it's now May 2023, and it's the first winter where I've not had a full blown corpse fingers attack. I get some minor degree if I'm out in cold weather, but day to day life, it's been revolutionary! If I can remember where I ordered my gloves, I'll edit this and share the name. Also elastic free socks (usually aimed at diabetics or people with latex allergies) work similarly because without the tight elastic band reducing blood flow, you're just getting that much needed heat. Definitely worth the investment. The tragedy comes when you don't know what to do with all your old but still good elastic socks 😂

A very interesting video again, never seen some of these.

Thank you for this informative and interesting video. I enjoyed it.

I remember a small in the 80s fair came to set up in a parking lot and one of the so called freak shows was there and it showed a tent that a lobster man attraction. Now I know they just took advantage of a poor soul that just had a deformity . Makes me mad now that this was still happening in the 80s. Luth you did an excellent job as usual explaining and helping me understand more things that I never did before. Thank you.. Btw maybe we can do a live stream one day

Have you been experiencing pressure from somewhere to not be so "dark" or ominous? It may be just me but your channel doesn't seem as "dark" as it used to be. I love it though. The darker and more ominous, the more I enjoy it. Subscribed years ago and still support you. I love your content. I wish I could join but being stuck on disability my bills are more than the money I get every month.

The fist one the hands with lots of fingers look amazing! would not be too bad to have one hand like that, but difficult to do things with both hands. My Aunty had an extra finger on each and when she was born, but had an operation to remove the extra fingers. I think it would be OK to keep them on if it was me... only problem would be finding gloves to fit in the winter... but I could get someone to knit a special pair.

Yay!! Another video. I love this channel.

Remarkable as usual, thank you! PS The sound you used for this compilation was chilling.

Brilliant work as usual. Cheers.

These poor people suffering from something that ii take for granted everyday 😣

As always brilliant very informative. Stay safe. 🙏❤

Very informative. Like this channel!!👍

I found this well made and educational---

I love your content, it's raising health issues too, fantastic x.

Now we know why, when a baby is born, they count the fingers and toes. I always thought it was a joke. There's a reason after all.

I gotta hand it to you, you really got your finger on the pulse.

Thanks for sharing 😊

That would suck

Thanks Luth. Be safe out there lady.🙏🕊️

Been watching ur videos since 4th grade love you man

love your content,

The mirror hand looks like a Facehugger.

I appreciate being introduced to this channel and it's contents. That said, I've been exposed to far too much these last years and am feeling 🤕🤢🤮 as I turn video OFF at minute marker [3:20] If they argue with you, then say, "I have simply submitted myself to GOD; I and those who follow me." You shall proclaim to those who received the scripture, as well as those who did not, "Would you submit?" If they submit, then they have been guided, but if they turn away, your sole mission is to deliver this message. GOD is Seer of all people.

Geez these videos are unsettling but interesting at the same time.

id be so pissed if i was born with 8 fingers and my mom chose to remove them

This is my favorite channel, hands down!!! Please never stop posting videos!!!!! 💖👏🏆💯

My favorite RU-vid channel! ❤️❤️

Thanks for that. It spreads awareness. Good vid.

0:37 Now you can be those lego people

Interesting… news to me, some of them.😳 Thank you.😊

Very interesting thanks

Really interesting, thanks.

The 8 finger person would make a heck of a guitarist or even pianist .

One very informative video ‼️. Thank you ‼️

Thank you for sharing. Very informative. 💜

I love your videos so much info knowledge is key

Another fascinating video, as always. One of the most interesting channels I'm subd to. Thanx again. 👌

Me encantan tus videos 💓

Why were the thumbs blurred out?

What about myotonic dystrophy? It isn’t as weird as some of these, but it all too real.

Very informative thank you!

The yellow fingers and red hand, I thought it was a large fries from McDonald's. Just for a second...

The music is great 👍

I think your choice of music is an insult to those with physical deformities.

All those extra fingers would come in handy, so to speak, on the piano.

Thanks for not clickbaiting us

So well done. Bravo.

I love your videos always fascinating thank you.

Very interesting. Great job!

why? why change it? is there a medical reason? did the fingers work well together or not?....

Informative.

rounded finger tips can also be a heart problem, I lost a friend to that

They call it a crab hand syndrome. A news lady had the same condition. It was passed on through her kids.

I knew a man whose physical appearance could be comparative to that of a proverbial Greek God, but for his "Lobster Feet" which he never ever allowed anyone a glimpse of, sadly. How awful it is to find ones characteristics so abhorrent as to incite feelings of shame.

So interesting!

Wow! Special hands & feet.

Your choice of music is awful for this post. These people are not creepy, just genetically different. Whatever educational information in this, your music only negates it's purpose. Shame on you for perpetuating stale, outdated ideology. This is nothing more than passive aggressive bullying.

The first one is a sad reality of what happens when you have kids with a family member

Never thought I'd see Raynauds listed. I have it but wouldn't really think of it as a defect.

merci pour les découvertes

Micky Rourke has club nails. What's with the scary ominous sound!?? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I knew a 70 YO woman who had claw hands and she had piano lessons. She ended up better than me.

Thanks so much ❤

Also have partial clubbing... I was told that it can be a result of West Indian heritage or lung problems.

I was born with shortened fingers on my left hand. I learned to use my hand normally in spitd of an operation the removed one finger and made another finger unusable

I have no toes except for stubs on one foot. I never knew there was a name for it

I bet people with anomalies like these would possibly use them as an advantage in gaming.

Love the music

I ❤ ur channel. In my opinion. This channel keeps it documentary level status. I like the way you censor. Oohh, think I heard your voice on some vids😍👍🏼(Go ladies🥳)but I dont mind reading at all. I hope you enjoy what you do. So you keep them coming! ✌🏽❤🌍
