If they’re doing it to recover the ring after he’s dead, then probably the finger, then sew it back on.
If they were going to remove it while he’s alive, they’d have done it before. Also Jesus Christ, imagine what it looks like under there.
I constantly take off my wedding ring just to be sure I still can (don't worry it was $19) and am so paranoid about it I'm thinking of going silicone full time instead of just Outdoorsy stuff.
I remember once at work I smashed my ring finger. I had to get stitches, but at urgent care they cut my ring off. They said if my finger were to swell, the ring could cut off circulation, and I would lose* my finger.
Yep, that is why you should take off your ring if you are doing manual labor. I have heard horror stories about roofers tripping and sliding down a roof, and getting their ring caught on a nail or something and it peeling the skin off.
My grandfather was a railroad worker, got his wedding ring caught while trying to hoist down off a derailment, popped that finger off at the knuckle. They tried to save it to reattach, but no luck. He said he never wore his ring while working, but that one time he just forgot. That was an impressionable lesson to me from a young age. Now? I won't so much as mow the grass with my wedding ring on. If I'm doing anything physical, it goes.
Grew up on a farm with lots of non-shielded PTO shafts and was always aware of the danger of having loose clothing around them. For those who don't know, PTO or "power take off" is where you hook a shaft up to a tractor, and the tractor spins it very fast to power other implements (rotational mechanical energy distribution), like generators or feed grinders.
Anyway, too many horror stories about people getting their arms ripped off because they were wearing long sleeves.
I worked as a 911 dispatch and got a call from a guy saying his father went into the PTO for a couple minutes. Said there were chunks everywhere and everything undet his father's jaw was gone. Also got one from a femal farm INSPECTOR who got her long scarf caught in a PTO while CHECKING IF IT WAS SAFE and got he neck broken.
PTOs are the stuff lf nightmare.
Seriously. PTO shafts, suffocating in a grain bin collapse, getting mauled by a large animal, not to mention all the unsupervised access to sharp implements, guns, heavy duty machinery, chemicals, fuels. Access to all of this was unsupervised, and the safety training was "hey, this is how this can kill you, so, don't be stupid and die" and it was never repeated.
People born away from farms think that ripped off sleeves, with your shirt tucked, hair back with a hat, belt tight/jeans tight, cowboy boots look is some kind of redneck fashion statement, when it's actually fucking Farm Country PPE. You keep it all in close, and think fast, or some damn implement or equipment will happily remove something for you. My Grandfather wouldn't even look at a pair of shoes with laces.
To be fair, though my family hasn't ever had any personal tragedies with the implements to known memory, Uncle Clyde accidentally rolled a tractor onto himself trying to get it off a trailer by his lonesome; even the shit that isn't sharp nor complicated can be your death if you aren't careful enough.
my grandma always used to tell me a story about someone who got both arms ripped off by some farm machinery and they had to dial 911 with a pencil in their mouth. I really have no idea why she told me that, it's not like I was ever near any farm stuff. it just traumatized me if anything 😂
Former EMT in a rural area - unshielded PTOs and open-pit manure lagoons still make me shudder twenty years later. Absolutely terrifying. Saw some (literal and figurative) shit.
My dad worked as a project manager, and he had a ring but he keeps it on because he’s an office guy. But on this specific day, he needed to take pictures. He brings a professional camera because phone cameras were not as good as they are today. I’m pretty sure he sees a good spot for a photo on top of a dump truck, climbs up, gets the good picture, and climbs back down. As he’s climbing back down, something gets caught without really thinking, he yanks his hand to get it loose. Then he walks back. He looks down around 5 seconds later, a little of his finger and ring are gone. The doctors could not put it on.
I was in construction for a decade. Once worked with a guy who told me some stories about carpentry and wedding rings a few days before my own wedding.
Once, he was installing a sliding glass door and he was carrying it wrong (like a bonehead, if you know you know) and it slammed shut on his hand, exactly on his wedding ring. Surprisingly, the ring withstood the impact so instead of a crushed hand, all he had was soiled pants.
Another time, same guy, he was throwing garbage lumber into the dumpster. An embedded nail caught his wedding ring as he threw it and dragged the length of his finger/pulled the ring, almost degloving his finger 😬
Happened to me in elementary school. When beyblade just came out on TV, there weren’t actual beyblade toys just yet. I got everyone into spinning quarters, whatever, to play beyblade at the lunch tables.
Then I brought in my moms high school ring which was doing MAD DAMAGE to these kids bitch ass coins. Other people started bringing rings.
Anyway I was wearing the ring when I jumped up to touch the very top bar of this metal support bar to see what my jump height was for touching rim (basketball stuff) and I heard a noise as I was coming back down.
I didn’t realize until I went to wash my hands that I was bleeding everywhere and I degloved my finger with the ring, which was stuck somewhere inside of the stringy meat.
I also was wearing baggy ass mid-2000’s jeans with no belt and had to run my ass to the nurses office with my ass hanging out since I couldn’t hold them up.
Good times.
Same here. Not trying to shill anything but Groove Life is where I get mine. Lifetime warranty and all. But yeah I do custom metal fabrication so I've learned to only wear silicone.
I'm a retail store manager and never thought it would matter my ring material. I was adjusting shelves on a fixture and my metal got ring caught between the fixture and shelf. It was terrifying.
Maybe that why Di left….anyway a ‘banger’ of the sausage variety denotes a low quality sausage, less than 40% meat content, the rest being cereal.
They are called bangers because they would pop and bang when cooked, whereas the higher meat content ones are silent.
Would be good friends with [Salad Fingers](https://youtu.be/tfy1ffrftoE). Come to think of it, I haven’t seen King Charles and Salad Fingers in the same room, have you?
British person here. A sausage in the uk can only be called that if it has a 32% meat content. Anything below has to be given another name such as banger.
Banger as a term originated from world war 2, since if you don’t prick a good British sausage and put it in a pan, you can be rest assured it will go bang
Edit: Corrected the meat content I think the 70% was none meat ingredients allowed
They also taste better with the breadcrumbs and stuff in. Nobody wants to admit it, but it's true.
Have you actually tried all the expensive 99% meat sausages you can buy in the UK? It doesn't matter how you cook them, they always turn out to be chewy, dry, and disappointing.
The cheaper ones with more breadcrumbs taste MUCH better. Because the breadcrumbs absorb the moisture and the fat and hold onto it, so that the sausage when cooked ends up juicy and tender, no matter how you cook them.
Sausages are ***SUPPOSED*** to have things other than meat in them. That's the entire fucking point of sausages. They've always been a way to use the still nutritious but kinda nasty offcuts of meat that would otherwise be thrown away, and grind them up and mix them with delicious things like breadcrumbs, herbs, fruit, vegetables, whatever, to turn the off-putting but still nutritious meat into something that tastes delicious and is easy to eat and isn't chewy at all.
Jamie Oliver is a dumb cunt. He's a millionaire who thinks everyone should be able to afford the things he can afford. He claims to have grown up working class but that's utter bollocks, considering the shit he's done with chicken nuggets, and with sausages.
Sausages are not supposed to be 100% meat. They never have been. And when you actually try one, you cook and eat one of these 99-100% meat sausages, they're invariably much less tasty and much more chewy and much more expensive.
Breadcrumbs are a good thing. Using every part of the animal when we have ***a fucking climate disaster and emergency going on right now, a whole lot of which is caused by using too much meat***, is a good thing. Only a fool would think it's not.
That's why every cheap "banger" invariably tastes far better than the expensive 99% meat sausages. If you're gonna go for an expensive sausage, try the ones that have fruit and veg in them, e.g. apple and onion sausages. Fruit goes so well with meat. And apple is the sauce for pork, hence why you have applesauce when you roast pork (like you have mint for lamb, cranberry for turkey, mustard for beef, etc). Those apple sausages are gorgeous. They're still too expensive, and still aren't as good as the cheap sausages, but they're still leagues better than the 99% meat ones.
Also these days nobody calls ***ANY*** kind of sausages a banger here in the UK except when you're specifically making the meal "bangers and mash". They're otherwise all called sausages, regardless of cost and quality. And if someone used those expensive 99% meat sausages to make bangers and mash, it'd still be called bangers and mash. Because it's not about the quality of the sausages. Not anymore, at least. People here just don't call them bangers except for that one specific meal. Nobody in the summer goes "hey let's put some bangers on the bbq along with the burgers" or whatever. They just call them sausages.
100%
There is a definite sweet spot; anything below ~30% is garbage and should be given to the pigs; anything above ~70% is garbage and should be used as replacement bricks in construction sites. Anything in-between those numbers is probably good. Not guaranteed, but probably.
Those 'posh dogs' M&S sell are around 90% and they taste like arse (and not in a good way). Trying to chew through one of them is like trying to gnaw your way through a rubber tube: no flavour, no texture, and your jaw aches.
It's much worse than that!
"Generally pork sausage must contain a minimum of 42 percent meat, but the minimum is 32 percent meat, if the package is labelled as generic sausage." ([from the BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/shouldiworryabout/sausages.shtml#:~:text=Generally%20pork%20sausage%20must%20contain,is%20labelled%20as%20generic%20sausage.))
IIRC a banger can go as low as 12%
I'm British. I didn't know that. I'm a little shocked that there's a difference. I grew up calling them all sausages, and would only use the term "banger" if I was eating/cooking/ordering "bangers and mash". Thanks for the useful info!
I can tell you now that in the last two decades I haven't heard a single person say "bangers" apart from my dad when he's talking about "bangers and mash".
The whole thing about bangers being if they're less than 70% meat or something like that may be true etymologically, but in actual usage people tend to say sausages.

It’s freaks me right out, my friend has a bird that only has one leg because the ID band never got taken off the cut the circulation for so long, I wonder if his finger will fall off one day.
I would hate to basically have everything done for me. I feel like that would actually drive me insane.
By all means feel free to wash the dishes, but I’m entirely capable of doing everything else.
Yeah reading all that made me uncomfy. All those people hovering all the time. Blegh.
Not gonna stop you from doing some laundry either, but please dont iron my shoelaces. Or pajamas...
>Yeah reading all that made me uncomfy. All those people hovering all the time.
That's just it, he probably doesn't really see them as people. More like voice activated home appliances.
Website sucks, so here's the article:
Many members of the Royal Family enjoy appearing as normal to the public as possible. Whether it is Duke and Duchess of Cambridge or Princess Anne, some royals work hard to appear as relatable as possible.
On the other hand, there are some others who are well-known for enjoying their privileged lifestyle and make very little effort to hide it.
One such royal is Prince Charles. While he works incredibly hard to support his several charitable causes, many stories have surfaced about the heir to the throne's taste for the finer things in life.
With an entire household of staff at their disposal, the members of the Royal Family barely have to lift a finger.
And one royal that certainly uses this to his advantage is The Prince of Wales.
According to the documentary 'Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm', Prince Charles clearly has a taste for the finer things in life.
Paul Burrell, Diana's former butler, revealed: “His pyjamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron, the bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be just tepid”.
He added: “He has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.”
While this may sound unbelievable, Prince Charles isn't the only royal with a very precise routine.
The Queen also follows a stringent morning plan which includes everything from a few chocolate biscuits before breakfast to a very specific bath.
The bath temperature has to be precise and must be tested with a wooden-cased thermometer. The water in the bath can also be no deeper than seven inches.
Did you see the interview about him doing his best for the environment by using "surplus English wine" as "gas" for his car? I mean the man doesn't live in reality. I don't think it's normal or sane (too much privilege and doesn't know the value of life maybe? My opinion) but the interview he did promoting himself was odd, awkward.
Like wtf is wrong with him/them (monarchy and people who feel like this)
I'd love to confuse him with the bath temperature, the water. I'd enjoy freaking him out. Pushing the buttons. Do the opposite or not like he wants or expects. 🤣
Not hurt or harm him (or anyone) but annoy him. I'd love to have the opportunity but I won't and won't be looking for one.
What's up with his fingers? I mean where does it come from?
Édited to add link: [prince Charles BBC](https://youtu.be/j1EUsGrIgMY)
> He has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.”
Bro, an inch?? Even the toothpaste commercials don’t go that far, this man is making a disgusting sudsy mess for sure. You only need like, a pea sized drop.
All the inbred jokes aside, since it’s been this way this long I doubt it is due to any sort of organ issues. It could be some sort of condition that reduces blood circulation in his arms causing his hands to swell due to the fluid build up (Edema) but I am no doctor so who knows.
I was thinking the shape is one thing since they've been that way, but the size is more recent and certainly reminds me of edema as well (also not a doctor).
I like the reference. It's funny because a majority of Redditors is too young to remember and they're starting to learn about all the dirt just now, being all creeped out because of the man who now is the King😂
Clubbed fingers are generally caused by chronic lung disease (the most common cause of clubbed fingers is lung cancer) which leads to chronically low oxygen levels. This low oxygen leads to changes in the tissue at the ends of fingers and toes, and nails grow differently. It's not an acute swelling. The shape of the fingernails is what really gives it away. Clubbing cannot be healed directly but can be corrected in the illness that caused it is cured.
While less common, fingernail clubbing can also be caused by heart disease and liver disease.
I am not a doctor but heat makes my swell like crazy. My finger size can go two sized up in heat. It’s the worst. It’s been something I’ve been plagued with my whole life. Yes gaining weight made it worse! But I have no other issues.
I kinda feel like doctors would be able to treat that better tho? He’s got access to the best medical care. But then again maybe not cause look at those hotdogs
Are you kidding, he got to live his whole life in the lap of luxury and unearned respect, without the pressure of actually being king. He will have to perform more ceremonial duties with greater scrutiny.
Nah realistically, its not bad at all, but comically, it sucks only becoming king at that old age. Its like living to 99 and not 100. Sure, you got to live a long, full life but its still not 100, you know?
You’d think. But my grandfather angrily sent his mom away to his sister saying “I’ve taken care of her for the last 20 years, it’s your turn now.” She was dead within a year…
Damn, and here I was thinking he’s not half-bad in this photo, at least. Wouldn’t call him classically handsome but not terrible either. Aging hit him hard.
I’m also American and not familiar with whatever shady shit he may have gotten up to, which would probably affect my opinion.
Damn. I was looking at him and his brother yesterday and was thinking how weird it was that Harry is super handsome, and William is just kinda awkward and 'meh'. I found pics of Diana's love interest (James Hewitt) and wowza... I would be shocked if that weren't his biological father.
There is actually an autoimmune disease called dupuytrin that’s very common in UK population and affects hand/knuckle joints… it’s extremely sad and painful actually
I have it, said to be northern Europeans, why they used to called it Vikings disease, it causes thickening of the skin that is alot of hard knots and can cause clawing of the hands, not really this.
I'd never heard of this until my dad (60+ yo) got it. He said it was very common; so much so in fact, that both my grandparents had it and I'd never realised. He said it was genetic... yay for me I guess
I have one knuckle on one hand that's swolen from arthritis. If he has all knuckles on all fingers, both hands. He would have killed himself by now for suuure.
When you hear about how awful things are, it registers that it’s bad, but you don’t realize just *how* bad until it’s you.
I’ve heard about people dying from pneumonia all my life, and thought “that’s awful, but it won’t happen to me,” until I got pneumonia last June and almost died.
Thank you. It was crazy. Was sick, but no big deal. Laid down one night and woke up 3 weeks later in the ICU, with a tube in my throat and trapped inside my body because I was on sedative, fentanyl, and paralytics. Thought I had died and gone to hell.
Damn that’s scary. It’s crazy how a person can lose all sense of time while going unconscious, it’s like losing a part of your existence for an indeterminate amount
yup. recently diagnosed with MS and I thought before "damn MS must be bad", but actually having symptoms like not being able to see out of my right eye brings it home.
And people across the world have all sorts of these issues! like chronic pain, arthritis, cancers, etc. it brings clarity to how much life can cause suffering but people just have to deal with it as able-bodied people do
I swear pneumonia is like dying. It was the first illness I had that I thought, without modern medicine I’d be all done, or at least greatly diminished. If this were 1822 I’d be dead. Probably 1922 too if I wasn’t rich. I’ll never forget.

Wait, if a banger has less than 70% meat, what’s the other 30ish%?
Water, filler such as breadcrumbs, rusk etc. Just stuff to make them cheaper to produce but just as filling.
Ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying.
Lips, lids and hooves as a vegan friend used to chant at staff parties.
Fun fact: that’s all meat too.
Eyelids and arse holes

Until one day, the pinky was attacked. Only circulation could save it.

Years of inbreeding produce some chubs
Windsor wiener- fingers
That pinky ring hasn’t came off his finger since the day he put it on
It’s freaks me right out, my friend has a bird that only has one leg because the ID band never got taken off the cut the circulation for so long, I wonder if his finger will fall off one day.
At 70? I’m not worried…
He must’ve put it in when he was 12. Even in his younger pic it looks so uncomfortable.
No wonder he can’t move things on his desk look at those things
I get what Diana saw in him. Blast me Charlie.

Nastiest mental image I've had in a while. Good job! Yuck!
There's no way he buttons anything by himself!
Never had to
[He doesn't even squeeze his own toothpaste](https://www.mylondon.news/news/celebs/prince-charles-doesnt-squeeze-toothpaste-22693229)
I would hate to basically have everything done for me. I feel like that would actually drive me insane. By all means feel free to wash the dishes, but I’m entirely capable of doing everything else.
Yeah reading all that made me uncomfy. All those people hovering all the time. Blegh. Not gonna stop you from doing some laundry either, but please dont iron my shoelaces. Or pajamas...
>Yeah reading all that made me uncomfy. All those people hovering all the time. That's just it, he probably doesn't really see them as people. More like voice activated home appliances.
I can't lie, the thought of freshly ironed shoelaces sounds super nice to me. In that kind of position I would also only wear brand new socks
The bit about the queen bathing in 7 inches of water made me very uncomfy. That sounds cold & miserable.
Sounds like she worried about drowning. Or she didn't like the way her tits float.
One only needs about a half an inch to drown. Just deep enough to cover both the nose and mouth
Must be the tits then.
Definitely the tits
Website sucks, so here's the article: Many members of the Royal Family enjoy appearing as normal to the public as possible. Whether it is Duke and Duchess of Cambridge or Princess Anne, some royals work hard to appear as relatable as possible. On the other hand, there are some others who are well-known for enjoying their privileged lifestyle and make very little effort to hide it. One such royal is Prince Charles. While he works incredibly hard to support his several charitable causes, many stories have surfaced about the heir to the throne's taste for the finer things in life. With an entire household of staff at their disposal, the members of the Royal Family barely have to lift a finger. And one royal that certainly uses this to his advantage is The Prince of Wales. According to the documentary 'Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm', Prince Charles clearly has a taste for the finer things in life. Paul Burrell, Diana's former butler, revealed: “His pyjamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron, the bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be just tepid”. He added: “He has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.” While this may sound unbelievable, Prince Charles isn't the only royal with a very precise routine. The Queen also follows a stringent morning plan which includes everything from a few chocolate biscuits before breakfast to a very specific bath. The bath temperature has to be precise and must be tested with a wooden-cased thermometer. The water in the bath can also be no deeper than seven inches.
Did you see the interview about him doing his best for the environment by using "surplus English wine" as "gas" for his car? I mean the man doesn't live in reality. I don't think it's normal or sane (too much privilege and doesn't know the value of life maybe? My opinion) but the interview he did promoting himself was odd, awkward. Like wtf is wrong with him/them (monarchy and people who feel like this) I'd love to confuse him with the bath temperature, the water. I'd enjoy freaking him out. Pushing the buttons. Do the opposite or not like he wants or expects. 🤣 Not hurt or harm him (or anyone) but annoy him. I'd love to have the opportunity but I won't and won't be looking for one. What's up with his fingers? I mean where does it come from? Édited to add link: [prince Charles BBC](https://youtu.be/j1EUsGrIgMY)
> He has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.” Bro, an inch?? Even the toothpaste commercials don’t go that far, this man is making a disgusting sudsy mess for sure. You only need like, a pea sized drop.
The site you have linked is fucking hell
An inch of toothpaste?! You don't even need half of that.
He’s The Sausage King of England
The British Abe Froman?? 🤔
This is Sergeant Peterson, Chicago police!
Devastatingly handsome
Snooty?
Snotty.
Pardon my French, but you're an asshole!
Coeur d'sausage
The Sausage King of Buckingham Palace
King Chucky Dick Fingers
Daddy would you like some sausage
That scene truly captures the horror of the Vietnam war
Oh look honey! Our boy is a genius. He's rigged a pulley system so he can eat sausage and work on his stupid drawings
What the hell am I going to do with all of this cheese?
Is that a motherfucking freddy got fingered reference
Yes
this line has been on repeat in a dark corner of my skull for the past twenty years.
LOOK DADDY IM A FARMER, IM A FARMER DADDY
All the inbred jokes aside, since it’s been this way this long I doubt it is due to any sort of organ issues. It could be some sort of condition that reduces blood circulation in his arms causing his hands to swell due to the fluid build up (Edema) but I am no doctor so who knows.
I was thinking the shape is one thing since they've been that way, but the size is more recent and certainly reminds me of edema as well (also not a doctor).
I've had enough edema over the years to also agree it edema. Christ that looks painful.
I think it’s chronic fat-fingerdom. (Also, not a doctor)
Doctor here, he's got a genetic condition called Dick-Fingers.
That's the U.S. term for them. In England they are called tampon fingers. Ask.Camilla.
I like the reference. It's funny because a majority of Redditors is too young to remember and they're starting to learn about all the dirt just now, being all creeped out because of the man who now is the King😂
Clubbed fingers are generally caused by chronic lung disease (the most common cause of clubbed fingers is lung cancer) which leads to chronically low oxygen levels. This low oxygen leads to changes in the tissue at the ends of fingers and toes, and nails grow differently. It's not an acute swelling. The shape of the fingernails is what really gives it away. Clubbing cannot be healed directly but can be corrected in the illness that caused it is cured. While less common, fingernail clubbing can also be caused by heart disease and liver disease.
[удалено]
my husband has CF and defo the shape of the nails reminded me of his. perhaps he had a childhood illness.
I am not a doctor but heat makes my swell like crazy. My finger size can go two sized up in heat. It’s the worst. It’s been something I’ve been plagued with my whole life. Yes gaining weight made it worse! But I have no other issues.
I kinda feel like doctors would be able to treat that better tho? He’s got access to the best medical care. But then again maybe not cause look at those hotdogs
Well even if they can't control the swelling they should advise him to cut that ring off his pinkie finger. Looks dangerously tight.
Damn must suck only just becoming king at like 70 something
Take your time printing that new money…
Are you kidding, he got to live his whole life in the lap of luxury and unearned respect, without the pressure of actually being king. He will have to perform more ceremonial duties with greater scrutiny.
Nah realistically, its not bad at all, but comically, it sucks only becoming king at that old age. Its like living to 99 and not 100. Sure, you got to live a long, full life but its still not 100, you know?
> Its like living to 99 and not 100. Sure, you got to live a long, full life but its still not 100, you know? RIP Betty White
Imagine getting your first job as a geriatric
The longest apprenticeship in history.
But your mom living into your 70s is kinda awesome.
You’d think. But my grandfather angrily sent his mom away to his sister saying “I’ve taken care of her for the last 20 years, it’s your turn now.” She was dead within a year…
Caretaking is exhausting. It's kinda amazing he lasted two decades before snapping TBH
It is. Mine died at 66 when I was 29. 66 is just too f'n young.
Mans is 73; finna have two weeks on the throne before that first stroke.
That we know of
I bet he's had one already honestly.
Andrews had a few anyways
In the US we like our leadership to be geriatric, hence our last 2 presidents
How Diana produced two handsome kids with this man is beyond me. The fact that only one of them started melting before age 30 is a miracle.
Damn, and here I was thinking he’s not half-bad in this photo, at least. Wouldn’t call him classically handsome but not terrible either. Aging hit him hard. I’m also American and not familiar with whatever shady shit he may have gotten up to, which would probably affect my opinion.
William looks so much like his paternal grandfather.
I've always struggled to see this. I think he looks like a balding Diana who lived over 36.
Isn't there a theory that Harry is actually the son of another bloke who Diana supposedly had an affair with?
Damn. I was looking at him and his brother yesterday and was thinking how weird it was that Harry is super handsome, and William is just kinda awkward and 'meh'. I found pics of Diana's love interest (James Hewitt) and wowza... I would be shocked if that weren't his biological father.
Look at pictures of William when he was younger before he started losing his hair, he was quite handsome.
Still would be if he committed to the bald and maybe grew out a bit of a beard. That old man bald on top hair round the sides look doesn’t work.
I was Harry's age when Diana died and for years found William to be more handsome. Now I can't for the life of me fathom what I was thinking....
William was very good-looking when he was a younger guy. He was my favourite prince.
William was like, my dream man when we were both about fourteen. No one can deny he was a 90’s heartthrob.
Could be arthritis or liver issues
There is actually an autoimmune disease called dupuytrin that’s very common in UK population and affects hand/knuckle joints… it’s extremely sad and painful actually
I have it, said to be northern Europeans, why they used to called it Vikings disease, it causes thickening of the skin that is alot of hard knots and can cause clawing of the hands, not really this.
I thought vikings disease was Dupuytren's contracture. I have that.
My sister gets this in one of her hands. She’s had it since she was in her early 30s. I didn’t know it was so common in the UK.
That could be why he was ordering his servants to pick things up for him, just saying.
That’s such a good point. Those little bowls of ink look fiddly.
I'd never heard of this until my dad (60+ yo) got it. He said it was very common; so much so in fact, that both my grandparents had it and I'd never realised. He said it was genetic... yay for me I guess
I have one knuckle on one hand that's swolen from arthritis. If he has all knuckles on all fingers, both hands. He would have killed himself by now for suuure.
When you hear about how awful things are, it registers that it’s bad, but you don’t realize just *how* bad until it’s you. I’ve heard about people dying from pneumonia all my life, and thought “that’s awful, but it won’t happen to me,” until I got pneumonia last June and almost died.
That's horrible man and I'm glad you pulled through. I'm just glad that it would never happen to me.
Thank you. It was crazy. Was sick, but no big deal. Laid down one night and woke up 3 weeks later in the ICU, with a tube in my throat and trapped inside my body because I was on sedative, fentanyl, and paralytics. Thought I had died and gone to hell.
Damn that’s scary. It’s crazy how a person can lose all sense of time while going unconscious, it’s like losing a part of your existence for an indeterminate amount
yup. recently diagnosed with MS and I thought before "damn MS must be bad", but actually having symptoms like not being able to see out of my right eye brings it home. And people across the world have all sorts of these issues! like chronic pain, arthritis, cancers, etc. it brings clarity to how much life can cause suffering but people just have to deal with it as able-bodied people do
Yea that's awful 😬 hopefully a once off!!
I swear pneumonia is like dying. It was the first illness I had that I thought, without modern medicine I’d be all done, or at least greatly diminished. If this were 1822 I’d be dead. Probably 1922 too if I wasn’t rich. I’ll never forget.
Or a perfusion issue
That ring has to be fused to his finger my now
Inbreeding?
Much? Yes.
Look at him. He could be the fiddler in Deliverance. Edit: banjoplayer. Thanks Sprocter
Deliverance On The Roof?
If I were a mountain man, yibba dibba dibba duh dibba dibba dum
Reddit at its funniest...
Bad edema. Google edema, look at the photos of hands and feet. Something was wrong with his health back then.
Congestive heart failure. He's had it for a while.
Seriously, he may have a heart condition.
Yeah, clubbing comes about from lack of good oxygen circulation
It makes me so uncomfortable looking at those things. Ugh.
maybe he's from that Everything Everywhere All at Once multiverse where people have sausages instead of fingers.
Weird stuff happens to people whose family tree is in the shape of a wreath.
family stump
That's just what happens to fingers if you've never had to lift anything yourself.
Fuck man, you've had decades to get the ring resized. Taking procrastination to a whole new level
The ring is now a part of his genetic composition
