Long they grow, precious, long and strong… but polished, yes. Filed smooth so they don’t snag on the rockses. Smeagol takes care of his toesies.

[–] NoTagBacks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 weeks ago

I kinda figured I wasn't the only one to think Gollum when I initially saw this, but it's good to have it confirmed with poetry such as this.

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 88 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Do you just never wear shoes? O.o

[–] agavaa@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Florida Special, flip-flops year round

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Like, extra long flip flops? Or do the nails just poke out an inch (2.54cm) from the front?

[–] agavaa@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

They make a click-clack sound whey they hit the floor before the flip flop, like dog nails

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or even just socks? I can't imagine those aren't sharp enough to ruin a pair of fresh socks within a few days at most

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 15 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe they live in Hawaii or something. I can't imagine anyone doing this shit anywhere with snow. Though I can't imagine the suffering that stubbing your toes on furniture would inflict this lunatic. Hmm. Maybe this is a problem that will fix itself.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

If it's not ai or Photoshop, they did them for the shitpost and removed them soon after, in pretty sure.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I've seen a few people with talons like this in Florida but most places it's not practical or socially acceptable to wear flip flops for all occasions and year round. You're not getting those things in normal shoes.

[–] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

As someone who wore nothing but superhero flip-flops through the entirety of high school in the Great Lakes region, yeah it was neither practical nor particularly socially acceptable. But they flashed lights when I walked. I never had light-up shoes as a little kid, and these were marketed for “kids at heart” so, tradeoff. 🤷🏻

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 2 weeks ago

Meanwhile in Wisconsin: Frank, get the pruning shears, we got a girl who can't wear winter boots because she's got stupid feet.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Originally, long nails were a way to indicate that you could avoid manual labor long enough to grow out them out. Essentially the lawn of the hands, opulent keratin. Long toenails indicating that you never even need to walk, and that your sexual partners will die of a staph infection, are an interesting extension.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You just made Quentin Tarantino start liking hands.

The pinkies remind me heavily of naked mole rats.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you think if I sucked on one it would look like I'm making out with a naked mole rat?

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You guys should all party together.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean me, and those ten sexy mole rats?

I thought Pinky was a rat, but apparently he's a mouse. In either case, not a mole rat.

Also, wow, there's so much more information than I anticipated in that article.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Even Gollum cut's his nails

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I think they're just worn from all the walking/climbing he did.

This is what you see with elderly people in nursing homes. Something I wish I didn't know.

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's kinda sad. They should be taken care of.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

To be fair, the nails in the pic are clearly taken care of. They're horrible, but they took effort to get like this.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

A lot of elderly folks who are still living independently go to a podiatrist for nail trims since they lack the flexibility to do it themselves. This does happen in nursing homes, just not as often, especially if the person isn't capable of requesting it themselves.

Wanting to be able to walk?

[–] howl2@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 weeks ago
[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 weeks ago

Real life Argonian?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

I already rip plenty of socks having callouses on my feet. I don't need knives on my toes cutting them more.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

The expectation of shoes

[–] yobasari@feddit.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine stubbing your toe with nails like that. The entire toe nail will be ripped clean off.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

As a proud foot fetishist, ewwwww. I ain't sucking those toes.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Harpymaxxing.

I dated her, her dinners always had the freshest fish.

Would get them, just to clack them like the velociraptors in Jurassic park

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 2 weeks ago

Alternatively, wearing shoes.

[–] palmtrees2309@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Socks would be a nightmare.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

It doesn't need socks to be a nightmare

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This fish grabbing sounds like quite a useful talent.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Useful talons...

[–] FryHyde@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

My awareness of the existence of nail clippers. My desire to interact with other members of the human race. My stairs are steep and narrow.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Bet she listens to Nelly furtado

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

Why do those look so damned aquatic?? Like, I joke about my wife being cold blooded, but for this person I'd believe it.

Squidward have you ever seen more lovely French tips?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

imagine you're sitting on the bed with your spouse and feel her nails dragging across your back lightly.

when you turn around, it's not her fingers...but this.

how turned on are you right now?
