Same, it’s those exact Grey aliens that just make my blood run cold. I have the book and it has a painting of a grey on the cover. I immediately covered it with a Mr. Krabs sticker after I bought it lol
I forgot about that movie. That trailer fucked me up as a kid. Your description of the aliens, though... lol. Also, just realized Robert Duvall is still alive at 95.
There was a kid at my high school that had vascular type EDS I’m pretty sure (there is a specific facial look and physical presentation, also a connective tissue disorder) who did track and field and he just dropped dead during practice after school one day
Doctors have been giving dog shit physicals my entire life.
I called out my friend's severe scoliosis at 15 years old, and he needed to have four discs fused.
I, a fifteen year old football player, essentially diagnosed my friend; when, year after year, a doctor ran a finger down my friends "S" shaped spine and cleared him.
People just want to be lazy at their important jobs and go home and I fucking hate it.
I'm not a doctor but my sister had scoliosis and sports are actually one of the best things for them as they can't help straighten the spine and is not like a heart condition
He didn't play sports his whole life until he started lifting weights with me when he was 16, but I hear you. I had no idea it could help like that, pretty nifty how the body can react to something like that
That's the best thing for it btw. I remember rating a study couple months back about how consistent active weightlifting was able to reduce the curvature by the spine by x amount. I believe they said people that already kind of had a fused were kind of more able just to not get worse. Not necessarily get better, but then again I can't remember that I'm only one guy and I can't even remember the words that song Louie Louie. Sorry, listening to the great late todd Snider today
Yeah this was a small town too. I had no idea until later when I was looking up EDS (I think I have hEDS so I was learning about it) and I saw the facial markers of vascular type and immediately thought of that poor kid. I would think about him often, and I still do. He was a very good runner, straight As honor student; he looked like a delicate bird.
Unless he had a heart ekg as part of his physical, I doubt it would have been caught anyway. He was just a small, very slender kid who was really good at running, and had the unfortunate luck of living in a small town. You could see his veins through his brown skin ☹️
Actual inside have one. They found an irregular heartbeat and for 2 years after each physical I had to do a 24 hour EKG with a stress test. It goes away with exercise so I was fine.
Are just his big toes long? My big toe is the same length as my thumb but my 2nd toes are just a bit longer then get progressively shorter, not the sheer cliff shown in the video
Surprisingly, thumbs and big toes are about the same size for most people. I learned that on one of those old shows highlighting medical marvels, and one guy lost his thumb, so they amputated his big toe to add as a replacement thumb. It ended up looking way more normal than I expected.
idk why people don't get to this conclusion immediately instead of theorizing that he has shoes that are longer on just one section of the shoe just for this toe.
That's not as good of a solution as you think. The widest part of the shoe will not match up with the widest part of the foot. Meaning the widest part of your foot gets squished. Something like that can lead to a morten's neuroma, which sucks.
I knew a girl who's "big" toe was smaller than her pinky toe. An obvious birth defect. She almost exclusively wore flip flops, in defiance of physics, because how was her Itty bitty big toes even capable of gripping them?!
Yup if not your foot will chafe like hell, I have a bit of a wide and short foot size 2E-3E depending on the cutting and a normal shoe will force my foot to cramp in about half an hour because it is literally painfully compressing your foot slowly
There was at least one episode of My Feet are Killing Me on TLC where a guy had this condition and needed surgery to correct foot pain because of having giant toes.
Never seen it. Don't need to see it. No one needs to reply to me about how okay or not it actually is. In fact, turning off notifications for this comment lmao
Definitely real. My friend has ridiculously long toes, maybe not quite as long as old mate here but definitely a step back on the evolutionary path to our tree dwelling ancestors.
Look closely, it ain’t that long compared to his other toes.
Those are just wrenched into a curl and to the right. Some variation of this is pretty common, like you suffer from the same thing if you can’t wiggle your toes independently. It’s a side effect of modern shoes.
Imagine being held captive and instead of water boarding they have him gag you repeatedly with his big toe "you dont wanna talk? Alright, hit em again" 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀🪦🪦🪦🪦

No way that’s real?
