sorry for the bad quality, my phone is bad up close

I hit my pinky finger real bad while hammering a nail when I was a kid, it broke off some of the skin but when it grew back it kinda has a divit in it. Doesn’t hurt or cause issues in any way but it’s just kinda a interesting part about my body that’s unique and I probably wouldn’t fix if given the chance.

I’ve come to love these little inconstancies that shows that a body has been used for fun and living, scars with a story are really sweet.

    I have never met someone else who has tested it, so I don’t know if it’s common or not, but I can blow air out of my tear ducts. When underwater at the pool, it looks like two narrow streams of bubbles rising from the inside corners.

          Here I am trying to pop my ears and detect outgoing airflow. My wife looks at me suspiciously. I had to explain “so there’s a guy (?) on Lemmy…”

            Everyone on the internet is a guy, chief. 😜

            I pinch my nose and close my mouth and blow hard. First the ears push out and “pop”, then I feel pressure building up in one or the other tear duct, then a squeaking, wet sound as air escapes from one and then the other duct. My eyes need to be open for this to work.

            Good luck!

      I saw a drag queen use liquid eyeliner on her waterline (you’re not supposed to do that) and it came out her nose lol

      Your tear ducts (and everyone else’s as well) are connected to your nasal cavity. It’s where tears drain and partly why we get runny noses when our eyes are tearing up.

      Definitely more unusual to be able to force air the other way, but not impossible. I’ll sometimes do it accidentally if blowing my nose too hard.
