Long they grow, precious, long and strong… but polished, yes. Filed smooth so they don’t snag on the rockses. Smeagol takes care of his toesies.

I kinda figured I wasn't the only one to think Gollum when I initially saw this, but it's good to have it confirmed with poetry such as this.

Do you just never wear shoes? O.o

Florida Special, flip-flops year round

ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 232d (1 reply)

Like, extra long flip flops? Or do the nails just poke out an inch (2.54cm) from the front?

agavaa@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 232d

They make a click-clack sound whey they hit the floor before the flip flop, like dog nails

Anivia@feddit.org · 28 pts · 232d (1 reply)

Or even just socks? I can't imagine those aren't sharp enough to ruin a pair of fresh socks within a few days at most

Maybe they live in Hawaii or something. I can't imagine anyone doing this shit anywhere with snow. Though I can't imagine the suffering that stubbing your toes on furniture would inflict this lunatic. Hmm. Maybe this is a problem that will fix itself.

If it's not ai or Photoshop, they did them for the shitpost and removed them soon after, in pretty sure.

I've seen a few people with talons like this in Florida but most places it's not practical or socially acceptable to wear flip flops for all occasions and year round. You're not getting those things in normal shoes.

CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social · 16 pts · 232d

As someone who wore nothing but superhero flip-flops through the entirety of high school in the Great Lakes region, yeah it was neither practical nor particularly socially acceptable. But they flashed lights when I walked. I never had light-up shoes as a little kid, and these were marketed for “kids at heart” so, tradeoff. 🤷🏻

Meanwhile in Wisconsin: Frank, get the pruning shears, we got a girl who can't wear winter boots because she's got stupid feet.

Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 38 pts · 232d

Originally, long nails were a way to indicate that you could avoid manual labor long enough to grow out them out. Essentially the lawn of the hands, opulent keratin. Long toenails indicating that you never even need to walk, and that your sexual partners will die of a staph infection, are an interesting extension.

You just made Quentin Tarantino start liking hands.

And me.

The pinkies remind me heavily of naked mole rats.

Zozano@aussie.zone · 11 pts · 232d (3 replies)

Do you think if I sucked on one it would look like I'm making out with a naked mole rat?

dbtng@eviltoast.org · 9 pts · 232d (2 replies)

You guys should all party together.

Zozano@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 232d (1 reply)

You mean me, and those ten sexy mole rats?

dbtng@eviltoast.org · 1 pts · 232d

You, the molerats, the crazy girl, and any other fans. Start a craze.

toynbee@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 232d

I thought Pinky was a rat, but apparently he's a mouse. In either case, not a mole rat.

Also, wow, there's so much more information than I anticipated in that article.

This is what you see with elderly people in nursing homes. Something I wish I didn't know.

filcuk@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 232d (2 replies)

That's kinda sad. They should be taken care of.

ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml · 13 pts · 232d

To be fair, the nails in the pic are clearly taken care of. They're horrible, but they took effort to get like this.

TomMasz@piefed.social · 6 pts · 232d

A lot of elderly folks who are still living independently go to a podiatrist for nail trims since they lack the flexibility to do it themselves. This does happen in nursing homes, just not as often, especially if the person isn't capable of requesting it themselves.

BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca · 21 pts · 232d (2 replies)

Even Gollum cut's his nails

PieMePlenty@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 232d

I think they're just worn from all the walking/climbing he did.

Zozano@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 232d

I'm somewhat disturbed by the fact he doesn't pick and rip the nails off.

The expectation of shoes

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 9 pts · 232d

I already rip plenty of socks having callouses on my feet. I don't need knives on my toes cutting them more.

yobasari@feddit.org · 9 pts · 232d

Imagine stubbing your toe with nails like that. The entire toe nail will be ripped clean off.

daggermoon@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 232d

As a proud foot fetishist, ewwwww. I ain't sucking those toes.

Would get them, just to clack them like the velociraptors in Jurassic park

Cats can retract theirs. We're not so lucky.

This fish grabbing sounds like quite a useful talent.

D_C@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 232d

Useful talons...

Sam_Bass@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 232d

Etterra@discuss.online · 6 pts · 232d

Alternatively, wearing shoes.

Socks would be a nightmare.

Whostosay@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 232d

It doesn't need socks to be a nightmare

FryHyde@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 232d

My awareness of the existence of nail clippers. My desire to interact with other members of the human race. My stairs are steep and narrow.

Why do those look so damned aquatic?? Like, I joke about my wife being cold blooded, but for this person I'd believe it.

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 232d

imagine you're sitting on the bed with your spouse and feel her nails dragging across your back lightly.

when you turn around, it's not her fingers...but this.

how turned on are you right now?

When you wake up in a pool of blood because your girl accidentally ran her toes down your leg in the middle of the night.

I put this in the same category as women who grow nails so long they can barely wipe their own ass.

guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 232d

She has large talons!
