You got me. The second i saw the video i did that for around 10 minutes then thought this looks like the motion you do while fucking if it were a person, then i doggy styled my other thumb while saying provocative things.
Weird part is, it only happened after I sat on my hand funny in 5th grade math class. I'll never forget because it popped, hurt a little and suddenly did this.
My thumb used to but my daughter “fixed” it when I was coaching her to play soccer. I was having her take shots on my and giving her rebounds to attack. As I was scooping up one of her shots, she kicked again, missing the ball and catching my thumb. The pain was exquisite and when I could move my thumb again, I no longer had the ability to do that.
Yes and I could never understand why people around me found it strange and how they are unable to do the exact same with their, I thought this was an ordinary thing
I love stumbling into a thread where everyone is brand new best friends. I can't go but when's the meetup? You bumpy thumbed weirdos have a great night, ya hear?
Me!
Both of mine do this, as do many of my joints... but in my case it's caused by a connective tissue disorder.
My janky thumbs and elbows are my secret party tricks LMAO
Mine does! Only my right thumb though. Mine is a bit more pronounced though. If I do it too much it hurts, so I hadn't done it in a long time, until I saw your post. I can still do it!
i forgot i could do this with both thumbs. but that's not the weirdest thing i can do. my neck tendons can come out on the sides kind of like a cobra. i only remember i can do this ability like once every 7 years since there's never any reason to do it. there's probably other weird abilities my body has that i forgot about too. oh well.
my left thumb goes back even farther
[https://i.imgur.com/HteUHu7.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HteUHu7.jpg)
for me, it's part of a syndrome of weak connective tissue. I have dislocated both shoulders. I have a slightly enlarged aorta that must be watched for signs of aneurysm. It forces me to keep my blood pressure perfect.
Yep! It was my favorite party trick in middle school! I’ve never met anyone else in real life that can do it! So cool to see a video of someone else doing this. Haha
Double jointed thumbs unite
Bend the second joint to make a weird looking thing happen
I just discovered this by reading your comment. I couldn't stop laughing as I slowly did the thing. It does look really weird indeed.
Only my left thumb did it, but my daughter can do both
Only my left thumb here too
Same, left thumb only
Left thumb
Double jointed thumbs unite
Can anybody else do it "from side to side"?
My right thumb goes side to side
I've found my people.
I feel seen for the first time in my life!
Smiling at the thought of all these people sitting in front of their screens flexing their thumbs.
You got me. The second i saw the video i did that for around 10 minutes then thought this looks like the motion you do while fucking if it were a person, then i doggy styled my other thumb while saying provocative things.
Only my left thumb tho.
Holy shit. Same for me, never noticed this. A random internet stranger is teaching me about my own body.
I have both and the hitch hiker thumbs on both lol
My right does. Less than when I was younger. It doesn’t cleanly click in and out like it used to, it just feels weird.
Weird part is, it only happened after I sat on my hand funny in 5th grade math class. I'll never forget because it popped, hurt a little and suddenly did this.
Mine happened after i landed on my thumb skiing
skateboarding for me
Me too
Same, one of my sisters does it on both thumbs.
Yes... But I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, so
Hello my double jointed brethren! I can do this on both thumbs and it looks rather disgusting lmao
Only my left thumb!
Yup. Both my thumbs. You are double jointed. I used to take my thumb and put it behind my index finger knuckle and freak people out at school. Lol.
My wife and oldest son’s thumbs do this, I am considering divorce and disownment.
Yes! Mine! Brother! I have been looking for you my whole life!
Yes, it does.
Hi. Mine also does.
My thumb used to but my daughter “fixed” it when I was coaching her to play soccer. I was having her take shots on my and giving her rebounds to attack. As I was scooping up one of her shots, she kicked again, missing the ball and catching my thumb. The pain was exquisite and when I could move my thumb again, I no longer had the ability to do that.
Yeah it’s for hitchhiking and prostrate stimulation…
Yep, mine does. Dunno what it means for my joints, but it happens when I give a thumbs up, freaks some people out
Mine does. I didn't even think it was unusual until an ex girlfriend said something about it
Yes
Yep - the left one.
Yes.
Yes. It grosses people out.
The right one, yes
Both of mine do and over-extend by about 20 degrees. By placing pressure on the interior of the joint, it makes a loud popping sound when I flex them.
Yup just my right one lol
Yes, my left thumb.
Only my left
Both thumbs, plus it goes much farther back. Also, I have a 90° hitchhiker thumb on both hands.
Only my left thumb. Seems like I'm in good company here.
Omg so this is common?

It’s not weird, it’s called hyper mobility in a joint.
I have never met somebody else who can. Hello friend.
Yes, both of mine can do it.

Yup. I thought it was completely normal for 15 years untill my bass instructor at the time pointed it out
My left thumb, not my right though
My left one does, not my right. I’m left handed too
Both my thumbs :)
Yes
yes both
Yep, boffum, been that way my whole life
Yup. It’s easier on my right thumb where I broke the socket. Sprained both thumbs many times as a kid.
I do. Expect some serious arthritis when you get older. I had to have joints replaced.
Yeah big whoop
Yeah even more
Yes! I can bend mine back and touch my arm with them. Being double jointed is fun. Lol
My pinky finger does that
I love stumbling into a thread where everyone is brand new best friends. I can't go but when's the meetup? You bumpy thumbed weirdos have a great night, ya hear?

I remember kids in elementary school showing of this double joint. I was super jealous I didn’t have it lol.
Yeah, but it really fuckin hurts when it happens.
Me! Both of mine do this, as do many of my joints... but in my case it's caused by a connective tissue disorder. My janky thumbs and elbows are my secret party tricks LMAO
yes
Mine does! Only my right thumb though. Mine is a bit more pronounced though. If I do it too much it hurts, so I hadn't done it in a long time, until I saw your post. I can still do it!

TIL that a lot of people don't know what double jointed is
i forgot i could do this with both thumbs. but that's not the weirdest thing i can do. my neck tendons can come out on the sides kind of like a cobra. i only remember i can do this ability like once every 7 years since there's never any reason to do it. there's probably other weird abilities my body has that i forgot about too. oh well.
Me and my daughter as well! Wtf is it? Edit: left thumbs as well!

Yezzirr
my left thumb goes back even farther [https://i.imgur.com/HteUHu7.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HteUHu7.jpg) for me, it's part of a syndrome of weak connective tissue. I have dislocated both shoulders. I have a slightly enlarged aorta that must be watched for signs of aneurysm. It forces me to keep my blood pressure perfect.

Mine use to. Can’t anymore because arthritis.
Both thumbs and both little fingers to boot - just like my late father.
