    21 People Proudly Shared Their Fascinating Body Abnormalities, And It's W-I-L-D

    "I remember my mum saying when I was a kid that I could have my off-centered pupil operated on one day to make it ~normal~ if it really bothered me, but I was essentially like, Nah, [screw] it, if people have a problem with this, there's a problem with them."

    This is a reminder that eeeeeveryone's body is unique and different. However, some people have a body part that is SO unique and different that they feel inclined to share it with the world. So, I rounded up a bunch of the top-voted ones from Reddit's r/mildlyinteresting as of late, and they did not disappoint. Check it out:

    1. Like this person who was born "without the rest" of their ear, the result of microtia, where a baby is born with a small and not fully formed ear.

    2. This very flexible person who can make their thumb and pinkie touch each other on the back side of their hand:

    3. This person whose hands get splotches sometimes that go away in less than 15 minutes, which might be bier spots, a type of vascular anomaly.
