when i was 25 i got hand foot and mouth disease. i ended up losing all my fingernails and 8 of my toenails. *Slooowly*. I noticed the backs of my fingernails peeling a bit a couple weeks after i started to feel better. Apparently my nails had stopped growing or something while i was sick, and then started again after i got better. But the new growth wasn’t attached to the old growth. The new nail growth pushed my old nails out like adult teeth pushing out baby teeth. All of my nails detached from my nailbeds from the back, but stayed attached toward the front. For several months i could push the front of my nails down and have the backs come up, completely detached. I had to keep the fronts trimmed and my fingers constantly wrapped in bandaids or tape. When they weren’t taped up the backs of my nails would snag on things and get yanked and it hurt like a motherfucker. They also would make a sound like a cat scratching a sofa. I remember one of my coworkers being viscerally disgusted by the whole thing and he was standing next to me once when i got snagged on something and he heard that velcro-like ripping noise and literally threw up
the worst was when i would put my hands in my pockets and then pull them out again without remembering to do so carefully. All of my nails would catch on the inside of my pocket like that trap from saw where the girl reaches her hand up into that box but can’t pull it back out without shredding herself on razor blades. It hurt like hell
I have this with my thumb and can confirm it snags on everything. The worst is when it catches and snaps strands of hair, or when pressing buttons, the nail will peel back.
The man named Vince, who now goes by Anatta Phi, was my handler in the CIA, and has indirectly claimed that he is the author of the Flesh Interface series. I believe him, because he is one of the world's best MIDI hackers, was a major player in the lulzsec/antisec developments, and the problems he struggled with in person were directly reflected in the story.
Come on, just one more shroom. Are you really going to let a talking banana tell you what to do. I wouldn't be surprised if he was working for Boeing or big air conditioner and puts chemicals in the water turning frogs grey. You see a green frog lately? Exactly... Have another mushroom.

A daemon is a memetic entity that has no conscious intention but also desingrates according the geometrical constants present in what we in the industry sometimes like to refer to as "the holofractal cathedral of topological variables," which is basically like a big truck.

But, as long as you understand that, we hunky dory. You catching all that in your eyebrows, son? Got any boogers you want to sell? I got a collection, but don't tell my dad.

but no really, the best curses are always little like this — “may he stub his toe on every piece of furniture in his home, so mote it be” or “may his car have mysterious troubles none can diagnose — so says I” or “may they lose every left sock, *because I fucking said so*”
Wtf I was sure I was on the right sub, but checked just now and I'm not even subbed on the mildly interesting subreddit. This is some Mandela effect stuff going on.
Funny thing is, the description on the sub for what it's for is stuff that is mildly interesting so basically anything slightly interesting kinda situation, pretty sure exact same content that would go in mildly
Is this a rip off sub to compete with the other based on other’s ignorance to the fact of the name and reading its title too quickly (our brains filling in what’s not there)?
I figured the person who created this sub made a typo, and then either they or someone else created the properly spelled one, or the properly spelled one was already created and the misspelling creator of this one didn't know it existed, but thought it should, but ya know, fucked up typing in the name.
What in the ever loving f\*ck have I done?! lol. I never caught this until your comment. It reminds me of the early Fb days when i was at a small wedding with a group of friends and one girl told our group that we were all friends with her dog on fb. Of course none of us believed it, but it turned out that we were all in fact friends with her dog named Johan. In that moment, I realized I had far less scrutiny to my account than I thought; just as in this moment with r/midlyintersting
Well played.
I’m not subscribed to either of these, but they’re always coming up on my feed…. But now I have no fucking clue when it’s been mildy or mildly, the fuck.
Benign Nail Condition Linked to Rare Syndrome that Greatly Increases Cancer Risk
https://www.niams.nih.gov/newsroom/press-releases/benign-nail-condition-linked-rare-syndrome-greatly-increases-cancer-risk
BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome.
Random split nails like this are a common symptom of a few different dietary deficiencies: https://www.healthline.com/health/split-nail#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20vitamin%20deficiencies,zinc%20deficiency
Thanks for linking this. I have this (tissue lump evident under the nail that grows split, with a dark line) on one fingernail and one toenail. I had mentioned it to a doctor before but they dismissed me without even examining it saying it was probably from trauma -- except I have no memory of any and I've had each spot for years. My mother passed away of a BAP-1 associated cancer and my grandmother had one too (she is in remission). I'm going to bring this article to my GP.
Hand surgeon/Doctor here. This was likely caused by an injury to the germinal matrix that lives near the half moon portion of your nail. Please see a hand surgeon about getting it corrected!
You just explained what happened when I got mad at an umbrella and slammed the rib tip down into my cuticle. I have a very slight line, and the nail peels near it a lot.
Mine is nowhere *near* as fucked up as this, though.
Also as soon as possible, when there is any extra nail, cut it the extra nail to be flush with the split. This split will never go away if you don’t get ahead or it. You need to protect the area long enough to be able to cut the entire nail below the split
If they get a hard fake nail, like the reslly heavy duty stuf i think its BIAB ive known mates who got that and it held the split together as it grew out allowing them to cut it out easily and properly.
I have a similar issue with my big toe nail, not as bad but it’s been like that for years. About a year ago I stubbed my toe bad enough the nail fell off and I thought it might grow back without the crack, but I didn’t. Still cracked
Depends. My index finger has a split nail bed. Got cut when I was a toddler. My nail grows like that (actually more separated) and splits all the time. I don't think the damage to a nail bed can recover.
If it hasn’t always been that way, it can be a sign of prior trauma and believe it not also a form of cancer. Check with your doctor if it’s changed more recently.
Nails are actually a good gauge of current health issues. I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news so I recommend googling the concern. I’m sorry for any bad news
You probably lack vitamin b-complex, d3, k2 and magnesium citrate. That on top of an average kind multivitamin pill daily would do a Big difference in a few weeks.
You should start filing it on top. As it grows out keep it clipped. It's should fix itself. Probably would take 6-8 week for the nail to fully grow past the damaged area.
I had something similar to this. I went to a nail bar, they put mesh and a clear gel nail varnish on it.
The mesh and nail varnish stop it catching on things and allows the nail to start growing normally.
Had it redone a few times over the next few months as it grew out.
Hardly anyone noticed that I had one gel nail and 9 normal ones. The nail bar thought it was great, they don't get 54 year old straight men in very often!
It's all good now.
This happened to my big toe nail but not as extreme. Dropped a knife right into my nail bed. I assume there is some sort scar tissue where the nail grows and causes the ridge
With 1.3k comments, I'm not going to read all of them to see if anyone has suggested this.
I have the same issue, a vertical ridge in my thumb and a nail that splits as soon as it clears the nailbed. Fortunately, I am a woman and can wear nail polish. In particular, nail "stickers" that are flexible nail polish in nail shape that one can peel off the paper and stick to one's nails. It keeps my nail from splitting and I actually have a nice thumbnail now. I was never a nail polish gal before, but I do my nails every two weeks now.
Not sure if you are male or female, but if you don't want colored nail polish, they do make them in clear and you can just put it on your thumb. Brand I use is Dashing Diva (yeah, stupid name), but others exist like Color Street and Ohora.

That looks like it gets stuck in everything, esp woollen sweaters and also scratches your face while you sleep
Reading this comment caused me to cringe uncontrollably and curl into ball. The thought of that feeling makes me shake with discomfort.

That is one of the worst things I wish I had never read.

Honestly your anecdote was more disturbing than the saw scene being used as an analogy. Please stop sharing lmao. I cannot read any more
i guess you don’t want to hear about how i ate them when they finally came off
Boi if you dont-
like those stacy’s pita chips
This is pure body-horror.
You perfectly described what just happened to me upon reading that comment. Every hair on my entire body is standing on end rn.
This. It made my thumbs feel sick and itchy.
I have this with my thumb and can confirm it snags on everything. The worst is when it catches and snaps strands of hair, or when pressing buttons, the nail will peel back.

How ‘bout, “May your clothes always be transparent when you’re public speaking.”?
LMFAO
No demons OP’s dad is probably a Klingon
Just a polite heads up: this is called "mildy", not "mildly" interesting. Many mistake this sub for the much more popular, r/mildlyinteresting
You're telling me I was looking at the wrong community this entire time? Guess that makes me a lost redditor, huh?
You are not alone
One of us!
Wtf lol guess I'm part of both now. That's awesome 295k people are that illiterate haha
Kinda wish I still didn't know lol
Yeah.....
I guess I just joined the party. I’ll bring the keg
Me 3
Damn, I joined this community, after my main account got hacked. Had no idea.
Fuck Now I don't know if this news is /r/mildyinteresting or /r/mildlyinteresting I AM WHELMED
I’ve been a member for as long as I can remember and I just now noticed lmao
Tbf, the smaller the community, the better and actual mildy interesting content you'll see. And probably less repost bots
Wtf I was sure I was on the right sub, but checked just now and I'm not even subbed on the mildly interesting subreddit. This is some Mandela effect stuff going on.
I'm the same 🤣
Lmfao here for years. Just noticed it too.
What. And somehow I'm subbed to both lol
Just checked. Same. ...which SCP is this, again?
SAME WTF?
Bruh? Never once subbed to this place lmao how
You sir....just blew my fucking mind
I would have rather lived in blissful ignorance
Yeah you’re right! Looked up the word mildy, means gentle in nature or a mild person. What the heck IS supposed to be posted in this sub???
Funny thing is, the description on the sub for what it's for is stuff that is mildly interesting so basically anything slightly interesting kinda situation, pretty sure exact same content that would go in mildly
Is this a rip off sub to compete with the other based on other’s ignorance to the fact of the name and reading its title too quickly (our brains filling in what’s not there)?

You know, that’s sort of interesting.
I think there's a fairly high chance that's what is happening

Wait.. is that a fucking 3rd one?!
u/Ryansports how could you do this
Oh jesus christ…
Tf is this sub for??
for things that are mildy interesting
I want to change it to Miladyinteresting
my aging dyslexic ass couldn’t figure out for the life of me why you’re interested in Milan intestines
I’d join that sub if it was about Italian sausages.
Italian sausages cook up very dry.
Apparently a lot of weird fingers??
Just found out that I was joined to both of them.
Wait! I am subscribed to both subs. I have probably never noticed when I was looking at the different subs.
Wait this is the wrong sub?! I've been bamboozled!
My life has been a lie
Yo wait wtf, where am I?
wtf does this sub exist for then 😂😭
Someone got blocked on the original and got ambitious and started their own
Well they tricked us all lol
I’m not subscribed to either of these, but they’re always coming up on my feed…. But now I have no fucking clue when it’s been mildy or mildly, the fuck.
Lmao I’m stoned and this is so fucking funny
what the....
I’m not even supposed to be here today……
wtf no way
Dude wtf, and I'm in both of them and never noticed
I’m subscribed to both and just realizing there’s two??
Sometimes feels like most of us here are subbed there too but based on the replies to this maybe not😂
Lmao I had to double take. N fuck yes it’s mildy not mildly. Fml who is Mildy?
I’ve been in this sub for like 6 months how have I not noticed
I think we're all having Epi Fannies
I am so confused now
This is more interesting than the post
Why are you doing this to me? Lmao.
Wtf are we supposed to post here?
Thanks u/nakedinthewindow
Oh my god I've been in here for years and had no idea
I thought I was on mildly this entire time. Since ‘21.
That's mildly interesting
Wow. I had to do a triple take. I think there are thousands of lost redditors here now...
Possible psoriatic arthritis?
I have psoriatic arthritis and that was my first thought when I saw this post
Same that's both thumbs like that
Could be vitamin deficiency like anemia
Or skin cancer below the nail? Maybe check with your dermatologist.
Median canaliform dystrophy
This would piss me off so bad. I can’t stand the feeling of my nail getting caught on something 🤣
No.
We unequivocally refuse.
[*crosses arms menacingly*]
A camel 🐫 thumb for a camel toe.
This happened to my toe nail once and like a month later the whole toe nail js fell off and then it started growing normally
Hormone changes likely caused that.
my big toe nail does it too. But mine never fell off so mine is split for 20+ years now
I volunteer to rip it out

Thanks for linking this. I have this (tissue lump evident under the nail that grows split, with a dark line) on one fingernail and one toenail.

This is the answer. I’m a shade tree mechanic. Whacked my finger while doing brake work. Same thing happened.
Could be median canaliform dystrophy also
You just explained what happened when I got mad at an umbrella and slammed the rib tip down into my cuticle. I have a very slight line, and the nail peels near it a lot. Mine is nowhere *near* as fucked up as this, though.
You're basically a goat
Not to be confused with The GOAT.
My dad's nail is like this due to an accident he had 30 years ago, crazy
My nail got caught in a zipper almost 20 years ago and still looks like this
It will heal. Cut the end of the nail short so it doesn't get caught on anything
Also as soon as possible, when there is any extra nail, cut it the extra nail to be flush with the split. This split will never go away if you don’t get ahead or it. You need to protect the area long enough to be able to cut the entire nail below the split
or just slam it on a car door, that ought to reset it
pain.exe
Mine has split for so long, the initial accident was a car door. I was hopeful this years hammer smash would help repair, but I think it's worse now.
I did just that....results may vary
Mine was similar to this last year only the V wasn’t so deep, a nail buffer and/or bandaids can also help prevent snagging in the interim!
If they get a hard fake nail, like the reslly heavy duty stuf i think its BIAB ive known mates who got that and it held the split together as it grew out allowing them to cut it out easily and properly.
I have a similar issue with my big toe nail, not as bad but it’s been like that for years. About a year ago I stubbed my toe bad enough the nail fell off and I thought it might grow back without the crack, but I didn’t. Still cracked
Depends. My index finger has a split nail bed. Got cut when I was a toddler. My nail grows like that (actually more separated) and splits all the time. I don't think the damage to a nail bed can recover.
I have a good one from early childhood also. I thought I was the only one. Should we start a subreddit? r/splitnails ? We need a fun name.
Pull it off and start over.
But I thought only ruffles have ridges..time to rethink life
Do you have any kind of thyroid dysfunction?
I heard recently that this can be a symptom of skin cancer. Might want to get that checked out...
I have something similar to that but not as bad. Hope that makes sense.
Mine had some waves, but after I literally removed my whole nail it started growing normal, don't know what it was but it's fixed now
I would get that looked at. Nails can be a sign of much worse problems.
Needs amputation
If it hasn’t always been that way, it can be a sign of prior trauma and believe it not also a form of cancer. Check with your doctor if it’s changed more recently.
Nails are actually a good gauge of current health issues. I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news so I recommend googling the concern. I’m sorry for any bad news
This is r/mildlyinfuriating
this type of thing is usually an indicator of health issues or a nutrient deficiency :(
The cleft palate of thumbs
I would go see a dermatologist, just to be on the safe side.
I have the same thing on both thumb. I keep them very short so it won't crack.
Why does this post have two thumbnails?
You probably lack vitamin b-complex, d3, k2 and magnesium citrate. That on top of an average kind multivitamin pill daily would do a Big difference in a few weeks.
You should start filing it on top. As it grows out keep it clipped. It's should fix itself. Probably would take 6-8 week for the nail to fully grow past the damaged area.
Get your kidneys checked.
Begin filing the central ridge with a nail file.
I had something similar to this. I went to a nail bar, they put mesh and a clear gel nail varnish on it. The mesh and nail varnish stop it catching on things and allows the nail to start growing normally. Had it redone a few times over the next few months as it grew out. Hardly anyone noticed that I had one gel nail and 9 normal ones. The nail bar thought it was great, they don't get 54 year old straight men in very often! It's all good now.
You bust your thumb along time ago eh ?
This happened to my big toe nail but not as extreme. Dropped a knife right into my nail bed. I assume there is some sort scar tissue where the nail grows and causes the ridge
Did you break it at some point? I had a toenail that did that after breaking it. It's grown out enough times now though that it's barely noticeable.
Has it always grown like that or did it start after some kind of trauma to the nail?
This is not intresting
With 1.3k comments, I'm not going to read all of them to see if anyone has suggested this. I have the same issue, a vertical ridge in my thumb and a nail that splits as soon as it clears the nailbed.
