Your middle finger is only your middle finger if you also count your thumb as a finger. Which I find hard to accept. @showerthoughts 🖕

Its a thumb. Its its own thing. If we had only
5fingers we would be INFERIOR BEINGSglares at spider monkies
Edit: apparently sponkeys have 4 fingers on their hands and thumbs on their feet
Nah it’s the thumb finger, like the index finger etc. We have fully truncated it to just thumb because of how it feels more unique to the others. Doesn’t mean it no longer fits the categorisation though.
Kinda like the goalie on a hockey team or the drummer in a band. Still on the team, just a bit weirder.
Yet, essential.
how is a thumb different from a finger?
Its a thumb. Its oppsable. If you had 2+ thumbs on each hand we would probably differentiate them more
how does being opposable make it not a finger?
It is a finger but its more of a thumb than a finger. It has its own function and does thumb things
Ah yes, that’s why we can only count to 8 using our fingers
Shit i can count to 100 with my fingers. Im not gonna tho
The Sangheli in Halo actually have two fingers and two thumbs on each hand.
Are your fingers not opposable? I can move all of my fingers and touch the other 4?
Opposable, meaning positioned in the opposite. Guys look if you cant look at your thumbs and tell they are different than your other fingers I dont know what to tell you.
