We all have our little quirks... some are more astounding than others. While most humans tend to have commonly shared features like 12 pairs of ribs, or eyes that are typically brown, green, or blue, sometimes features diverge a bit more uniquely. Much like all species on this planet, it is not impossible to encounter variations that simply blow our minds.
In a recent Reddit post that discussed weird body features, Redditors shared some of their most striking peculiarities. As each commenter shared their individual—oftentimes confounding—anomalies, a shared community began to build and others helped to offer a bit of insight on the possible 'why' and 'how' their quirks may exist. Some (possible) explanations were given, while some still remained a mystery.

#25 I Have Grey Eyes, Heavy Bones, And Can't Swim

Really, really high bone density. X-ray images look like cartoon skeletons. No one can tell me exact what’s going on.
I have grey eyes. No color. Like a black and white eye.
I also have, if I understood the cardiologist correctly, 20 pacemaker nodes? Which … could be good? Or bad? The doctor didn’t offer an opinion one way or the other.
Edit: this is popular. To FAQ here:
Eye color from a little while ago: https://imgur.com/a/T1XvSM0
Grey to Grey-green to blue. To me, in the mirror in my bathroom, they just look grey. But that could be just the way I see them. AFAIK I’m not colorblind. (I pass the tests).
Swimming: I can swim. I cannot float - not even when I hold my breath.
I don’t have any x-ray pics - and hopefully I won’t have the occasion to get any anytime soon. But in the off chance that I do, I’ll post it.
The Game is going to flag me for talking about my bones - and I’m going to break everything, all at once.
Update 2: a few of y’all have mentioned Wolff-Parkinson-White and after reading up on it a little, given that I had some premature ventricular contractions in my late teens, (much older now) and my heart rate has always been a little higher than average, regardless of how fit I was - it never seemed to go up or down much - I’m going to go get checked out. Better safe than sorry.

#28 I Have An Eerily Low Heart Rate

I have ultra low heart rate. It was in the 50s anyway, but with some endurance training its in the 30s now.
Ive been multiple tested by cardios, 24h holter, all good no pauses or irregularities im good to go. When im in good shape im at 35-36bpm while awake, and down to 30 during sleep.
Maybe if i get in a good shape again, i ll ask for a new holter to see if i break 30bpm during sleep and touch 29 or so.
Some More info:
I don't take any meds that affect my HR. I have a very mild Hypertension that is controlled with (ARBs). Not beta blockers. This is the only med i'm taking. This hasn't affected my HR in any way. My HR was already ultra low before starting the meds.
In fact now in the summer, I'm completely stopped the meds because BP drops naturally.

I don't have any other health condition (appart from orthopedic injuries). I'm 41m and as far as i can remember my HR is as described.
I am mainly a runner but i also swim as secondary or recovery. I do some strength training now and then. I'm not super good runner, just a 40:00 at 10k, but with very little training and i'm always battling with orthopedic injuries.
My max HR is around 175, i always use a HR strap when running (it measures electric signals), i dont trust the wrist optical HR monitors, they are not very accurate.
Needless to say i have never ever taken any other substance-drugs-steroids-hormones etc.

I can kind of „dislocate“ my thumbs without touching them.
Idk how to explain it any better

Edit: It’s crazy how many of you can relate to the urticaria, I’ve never met someone who has it as well. If you asked me a question and I didn’t reply feel free to shoot me a dm, especially if you asked about medication or think you might have it too
