Hi, all. I was just having a discussion (which you can read here) with a creationist about eponychium in horses. Basically, baby horses have a rubbery cover on their hooves which protects the mother's uterus during gestation. They wanted to know how evolution could explain such a thing. I don't think my answer's too bad, given that I'm only a layman working hypothetically, but it is just a hypothetical solution. I was wondering if anyone here more educated than me had a more scholarly answer to their question? Thanks.
I always mess up the edges. Are there any good tutorials on how to avoid this?
Hey guys,
I've been a nailbiter for around 15 or so years now. Currently on my fourth attempt to quit for good. I've noticed that I have an overgrown eponychium on quite a few of my nails, most likely due to a nail trauma response. Just wondering what I should do with them. Do you push them back? Cut them off? Just leave them? I am considering maybe visiting a salon for this, but I think that lockdown restrictions are going to increase again where I am. Any advice is much appreciated.

I see photos of people with no visible eponychium and I can't believe when they say all they do is push them back, and they don't cut them at all.
My boyfriend doesn't cut or even push his back and it looks like he trims them. He's white, which got me thinking whether it's genetic or more common in some races? I notice a lot of no-eponychium hands seem to belong to white hands. I'm Southeast Asian, for reference.
I feel like if it's just genetic I'd rather not stress over trying to change them!
So today I got my finger stuck between my door and my wall. At first it just hurt but when I looked 5 minutes later, I saw that the edge of my nail (where is attached to my finger) turned very dark, almost black. I put it under decently cold water (not too cold) which huet a little bit at first, but I hoped it would help and maybe that it would even be necessary. Now, about 4 hours later its still black and in the area around it (about a millimeter or 2) the skin is a bit blue. Im pretty much a wus if its about my body so I looked it up straight away. I found nothing about this, only about nails turning black/blue or the eponychium (thats what its called according to google) turning red and swelling. The problem is that it isnt my nail, it isnt swelling and its not turning red, but black/blue. I dont know if its bad but Im just not happy about it. Does anyone know what it is and/or what I can do about it?
I've visited my family who lives in another country a while ago, and I noticed something strange about the hands of my cousin: 20f, 1.65m 55kg, caucasian
I've looked at her hands and I've saw that she does not have any cuticle on any of her fingers, I've also noticed that her hands are often very cold. Is this something to be worried about?
edit: otherwise she seems fine, but I thought I might as well ask. edit: I mean cuticle not eponychium, I'm looking up these terms with google and I got the impression that these two were the same.
In a lot of photos I see of people with their nails done, they're able to put the polish right up against the thick skin at the base of the nail, and it looks like they don't really have the eponychium stuck down to their nail like I do. Is this something that is done intentionally? It sure looks good, but is it safe/correct?
I ask because mine are noticeable, and are lighter than the surrounding skin at the base of the nail, so I find that it looks strange with the polish next to it for some reason.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer
I am currently in the hospital. I had a back operation yesterday. The surgical nurse came in my room and started asking questions about my back. She asked me if I had any falls during the last year. I responded just one. It was after summer.
She laughed and said in 20 years of doing this she never was told that joke.
..... Will get a reward.
Because they work on many levels
Well, toucan play at that game.

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.
The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!
Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
I heard parents named their children lance a lot.
First post please don't kill me
Edit: i went to sleep and now my inbox is dead, thank you kind strangers for the awards!
This happened a few years ago when my son was 6ish. When my kids hurt themselves and it doesn’t look serious I always do the “we might have to amputate that bruised hand” shtick with them. I’ve done it enough that they now roll their eyes.
So, my son got hit lightly in the face with a rubber ball. It wasn’t a hard hit and I could tell he was more upset by the shock of it rather than the pain. So I say “looks like we will have to amputate your nose.” To which he replies “then how will I smell?” And I say “terrible!”
It was my greatest dad joke ever. I felt like I could retire after that.
To get to the... Bottom...
(as told by my 5yo son, I'm so proud)
