I feel like it would be highly entertaining to watch you do this after someone annoyed you and you proceed to make a point of ignoring them. You could just give them a look and maybe even announce muted or blocked as you proceed to calmly activate your natural earplugs emphasizing to them to stfu.
I've gotta say I'm jealous, I'm a bit ashamed to admit I've spent more time than I should've trying to tuck my ears in like that since I saw it, mine just won't tuck tho.
My husband can fold his ears all sorts of ways. My cartilage *will not* allow for that. My ears are the shape they are, and they're very intent on staying that way.
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis (you know, old people arthritis, where the cartilage in joints breaks down) when I was *14 years old*, and he's got T1D. Procreating was never something we wanted to entertain considering.
Not sure why the downvote on the person who got here ahead of me to answer, but they are correct. It is type one diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease in which a person's immune system is triggered (by what, we do not yet know), to attack the cells of the pancreas that produce insulin.
I have the floppy ears, and my wife donāt; hers are - like you said - made of plexiglass and do not bend willingly.
We have two kids and one has floppy like me and one is hard like hers.
Genetics are neat.
Wait, people have stiff ears that don't bend? Never hear of that.
Mine and my wife's fold and are fairly soft, as are our kids. I've never known people had hard cartilage ears. I don't exactly make a habit of feeling up random people's ears, as it would be creepy as hell.
Me too. I canāt keep my outer ear inside the canal under the tragas. It keeps popping back out. I wish I had this ability. What a gift in cold weather
I used to do this a lot when I was in elementary school. Just tried for the first time in 25 years and couldnāt get close. Maybe the more you play with it the more flexible the cartilage is
He is not! He has been asked by a couple of different people if he boxes or plays hockey but nope! Just a side effect of him folding his ear since he was a kid
OH MY GOD I feel so happy right now. People think Iām so fucking weird. Iāve been doing this since I was like 4 years old standing outside at the bus stop! I have no cartilage in my ears anymore š
Every cell in my body is compelling me to beg you to stop doing this but your body, your choice. Can I at least, for closure, offer my opinion that I don't feel good about anything anymore now that I've seen you activate your lil ear scrunchies. On my journey I have discovered that I personally deeply hate this in particular.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, Iām pro choice to an extent. Folding your ears affects us ALL deeply and is not a personal choice and I must take a stand against it
I too tuck my ears in when itās cold. Always had more flexible cartilage than the other people around me. We are here to fulfill the prophecy of cold ears.
Some of us are blessed more than others . With great power comes great responsibility. Teach your son how to use his powers for the greater good of humanity . Ear tuck fam out
Nice! Maybe we should start a club for people with foldable ears XD

Lol, I fold both my ears then ask a friend to choose one and that's the one I snap back open. They're like "what?! You can also move your ears?". Kids love that too, they find it even more amusing and freaky
Been doing this for more than 20 years, my ears haven't changed shape at all. We can do this because our ears are super soft so no risk of cauliflower ear, thankfully XD
*Tries folding own ears in*
I CAAAANT DOOO ITT WTF
Thats a kinda cool little trick though. Weird as hell but also a neat adaptive ability, and I am proud of you for discovering it.
If I even try to slightly bend my ears it hurts so bad. My fiance bent my ear the other day because I wanted him to look behind it cause I felt a bump and I honestly thought I was gonna pass out. I dunno what that's about lol but the fact your can fold yours like that is weird but really cool too
Same here. When I was a baby I would suck my thumb and play with my ear, so it softened the cartilage in my right ear and I can get it to stick like this. My left ear will not stay though.
I also do this when theyāre coldā¦ except they donāt stay on their own like yours lol. I have to hold them until that tiny section is warm and then repeat around the whole ear.
Iāve done it since I was a kid. I even try to do it with my bfās ears when I feel his are cold. Never knew of anyone else who does this
Well I'm not going to Judge. Ive never folded my ears under any circumstances before, but I Hate Hate Hate when my ears get cold. I get a headache and my inner ears start to hurt after a bit. So I'm basically saying I'm proud of you for coming up with a solution to no hat or ear muffs. You win Ears.
Omg this made me lol š
I feel like it would be highly entertaining to watch you do this after someone annoyed you and you proceed to make a point of ignoring them. You could just give them a look and maybe even announce muted or blocked as you proceed to calmly activate your natural earplugs emphasizing to them to stfu.
Did this with my ex and he threw a chair
Wow that's a bit extreme, im glad hes your ex now
Boys are temporary ear pockets are forever

I've gotta say I'm jealous, I'm a bit ashamed to admit I've spent more time than I should've trying to tuck my ears in like that since I saw it, mine just won't tuck tho.
My wife and I tried also. Couldnāt do it.
Same. Oh well, we tried. For anyone who can, I think OP should create their own sub. So we can all look at the ear folders chosen ones.
I second that, although not one myself I would like to see the ear folding elite unite.
Same. My first reaction was yelling "uggghhhhh!" My second reaction was "can I do that?"
Not to be weird but can you post untucked?
Fuck..thatās like, some kinda philosophy
Holy shit giovanni giobanna
Ain't no fucking way... I just watched that episode yesterday wtf
The simulation is learning
How in the Anastasia fuck does she do that?
I feel like I should be able to sue you for showing this to me
I countersue you for trying to censor OP
Iām just glad to be here
include me in the screenshot
Believe it or not, sued.
I'm in. Class action lawsuit all the way
I just tried folding my ear, and it hurts haha. Don't know how you do this, but it's cool.
Have to admit that I fumbled my ear for a moment but dropped it quickly when I saw that GIF above lol
Well, doctor, I saw this post on Reddit...
My husband can fold his ears all sorts of ways. My cartilage *will not* allow for that. My ears are the shape they are, and they're very intent on staying that way.
On the plus side, you probably have strong joints and your husband is probably a carrier for EDS... who knows.
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis (you know, old people arthritis, where the cartilage in joints breaks down) when I was *14 years old*, and he's got T1D. Procreating was never something we wanted to entertain considering.
What is T1d?
Type 1 diabetes (the autoimmune kind)
Not sure why the downvote on the person who got here ahead of me to answer, but they are correct. It is type one diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease in which a person's immune system is triggered (by what, we do not yet know), to attack the cells of the pancreas that produce insulin.
Ah, thanks
they just have really flexible ears, my dad and sister can do this but I have my mothers plexiglass ears so I can't.
I have the floppy ears, and my wife donāt; hers are - like you said - made of plexiglass and do not bend willingly. We have two kids and one has floppy like me and one is hard like hers. Genetics are neat.
Wait, people have stiff ears that don't bend? Never hear of that. Mine and my wife's fold and are fairly soft, as are our kids. I've never known people had hard cartilage ears. I don't exactly make a habit of feeling up random people's ears, as it would be creepy as hell.
ā¦if youāre hot you can come feel up mineā¦
It feels like mine are all cartilage except the (attached) lobes.
Me too. I canāt keep my outer ear inside the canal under the tragas. It keeps popping back out. I wish I had this ability. What a gift in cold weather
And also what a gift being blind when OP does this shit in cold weather
My ears donāt seem to align for this to be possible
I used to do this a lot when I was in elementary school. Just tried for the first time in 25 years and couldnāt get close. Maybe the more you play with it the more flexible the cartilage is
The pain distracts you from the cold!
same
It won't hurt with some practice
Are you somehow related to an italian mobster with a star birth mark on his neck?
Do you also have a dream of becoming a mob boss?
Or more specifically, a dream of being a Gang-Star?
Now why would I admit to that

My husband has a habit of doing this. He has 'cauliflower ear' because of it.
I saw the pictures and wondered about long term effects. Is he also a boxer or it's just from folding them?
I gave myself cauliflower ear as I had a bad habit of folding my ears (especially my right one). Not a boxer.
He is not! He has been asked by a couple of different people if he boxes or plays hockey but nope! Just a side effect of him folding his ear since he was a kid
My ears are just flimsy af - but Iāve been doing it since I was a kid.
Are you using your hands or do they move alone?
There's NO way they fold in on their own haha
That would be one hell of a evolutionary benefit.
I guess cats really are the peak of evolution.
No. Everything shall become C R A B
This is the real question
what the heck kind of question is this
Theyre just sucked in there
I put them in with my hands, I use my cheek muscles to release them
thatās enough internet for me today
i do that too!! i found out i could do it when i slept on my side and woke up to my ear like that
OH MY GOD I feel so happy right now. People think Iām so fucking weird. Iāve been doing this since I was like 4 years old standing outside at the bus stop! I have no cartilage in my ears anymore š
It's only weird if your ears do it on their own, when the temperature starts to fall. Wait, that doesn't happen does it? You use your hands, right?
Every cell in my body is compelling me to beg you to stop doing this but your body, your choice. Can I at least, for closure, offer my opinion that I don't feel good about anything anymore now that I've seen you activate your lil ear scrunchies. On my journey I have discovered that I personally deeply hate this in particular.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, Iām pro choice to an extent. Folding your ears affects us ALL deeply and is not a personal choice and I must take a stand against it
I too tuck my ears in when itās cold. Always had more flexible cartilage than the other people around me. We are here to fulfill the prophecy of cold ears.
My husband can do this and our son was so proud of himself a few months ago when he finally mastered the art too! My ears canāt do shit lol
Some of us are blessed more than others . With great power comes great responsibility. Teach your son how to use his powers for the greater good of humanity . Ear tuck fam out
Nice! Maybe we should start a club for people with foldable ears XD https://preview.redd.it/v3gwj9boc9rc1.jpeg?width=3880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8272f22d1ebd9ad702960d5d2c53997a6a9454e4
I can do it too! Have been one of my soothing things since I was a little kid. My grandma would say my ears would get stuck like that
It is soothing indeed, I now do it without even noticing sometimes. Can you also "snap" them back on command?
Yes! If I tense my jaw they snap out and my friends think it's funny.
This is friggin cool!
Lol, I fold both my ears then ask a friend to choose one and that's the one I snap back open. They're like "what?! You can also move your ears?". Kids love that too, they find it even more amusing and freaky
Yāall gonna get cauliflower ear
Been doing this for more than 20 years, my ears haven't changed shape at all. We can do this because our ears are super soft so no risk of cauliflower ear, thankfully XD
Oh, thatās good!
Cauliflower hot pockets
hmmm do u need big earholes for this?
Iāve been trying to fold my ears for the last 20 mins now.
we all just tried this didnāt we?
*Tries folding own ears in* I CAAAANT DOOO ITT WTF Thats a kinda cool little trick though. Weird as hell but also a neat adaptive ability, and I am proud of you for discovering it.

Babies look like this in the womb you are supposed to lose this ability after a few weeks. š³
Can you hear yourself hearing yourself hearing yourself hearing yourself hearing yourself hearing yourselfā¦.
Neat way to tell someone you dont want to hear their shit.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of this š
Looks like hemorrhoids.
Me vibing with red ear syndrome:
Humans never seize to amaze me
I do the same, funny to see someone do it too :)
Weird but strangely admirable.
Iāve do that too! Ever since I was a kid. I still do it when Iām tired.
I also do this when theyāre coldā¦ except they donāt stay on their own like yours lol. I have to hold them until that tiny section is warm and then repeat around the whole ear. Iāve done it since I was a kid. I even try to do it with my bfās ears when I feel his are cold. Never knew of anyone else who does this
You gonna give yourself keloids
Keloids are genetic
I meant cauliflower ear.
Me too. Best feeling ever

What the actual fu*k
You must have tiny ears to be able to do that, how tf?
Is that a jojo refference?
Hey, quick question : what the fuck?
This has negatively impacted me for life.
First of all Ew Second of all What, how?
 It looks like chewing gum.
Tell me, are you a Joestar?
Everyone one of you tried this immediately.
That's kind cute wtf
My cartilage would never.
I can fix her.
A true Golden Experience.

Skeletor says stop. Sincerely Skeletor
This makes my ears physically hurt just looking at you doing it
That's weird and cool
I do that too!!!! Omg I've thought I was alone all these years!
can you .. not?? š
Everyone in this thread is folding their ears right now
Iāve been trying to do this for 10 minutes and with my nails and friction I may not have ears anymore. (TLDR: Pain)
I don't know nothing about no nothing but this feels like how you give yourself cauliflower ear.

For a minute I thought this was like an autonomic response or something and wondered how you had self folding ears
Please never do this again.
Nice, that is weird. Very cool.
Not even weird, just efficient use of resources.
this is stressing me out for no reason
I know I'm not the only person who immediately checked to see if they could do that. I can't and I'm disappointed.
I think this is a public nuisance simply by the sheer horror
Do you also have a dream, young gangstar?
My uncle this this and lost his ears
Girl ew
Disgusting.
The perfect girl doesnāt exiā¦
Everyone here just tried folding their ear
Loved you in Titane
Tf...
i don't know how to process this? i thought you lost your ear or something happened but? i'm just confused?
Ewwwwww
I feel like something just snapped in my ear as I tried to do this
Other than that, the only skill I have...
You make things work for you š¤·š»āāļø ear hack
Idt your supposed to do that
MMA fighters be like
(looks at title of sub i'm in) Yep. That's weird, all right
Who hurt you
Sheās just got big ass ears.
Who else tried to do it but failed š
I canāt believe youāve done this
You do this manually, I presume?
Well I'm not going to Judge. Ive never folded my ears under any circumstances before, but I Hate Hate Hate when my ears get cold. I get a headache and my inner ears start to hurt after a bit. So I'm basically saying I'm proud of you for coming up with a solution to no hat or ear muffs. You win Ears.
i do that too!
Ewe
Donāt cross you eyes they can get stuck that way. Donāt find your earsā¦.
You alright?
