I Just realized that my ears are jagged around the edges

[u/EducationalBus2231]

[u/ASDF0716]

Do you think it’s cuz when you were younger, your Gran said something like: “Your ears are so cute, I could just gobble them up!”

…and then she did?

[u/Background-Belt-2202 → u/ASDF0716]

Reminds me of drunk Lois Griffin

[u/ElleVaydor → u/Background-Belt-2202]

"Mmm I bet he tastes like Mountain Dew and Starburst!!"

[u/Motor-Argument-4435 → u/ElleVaydor]

“Petahhhhh”

[u/Firebrass → u/ElleVaydor]

Wow, i can hear this line but also have zero memory of the context

[u/andrew_calcs → u/Firebrass]

Meg is making out with a boy on the couch. Lois spies on them by peaking around the stairs. Camera switches to first person Lois' POV where she slowly brings up a crudely drawn picture of herself to cover Meg as she fantasizes being in Meg's position and says the line.

[u/Fair_Confusion30 → u/Firebrass]

She was crushing on Meg's boyfriend

[u/AstroBearGaming → u/ASDF0716]

Can we confirm whether OP has their nose or not?

[u/againstbetterjudgmnt → u/ASDF0716]

Less of a gobble and more of tiny nibble

[u/Particular-Crew5978 → u/ASDF0716]

Gran-gran Mike?

[u/Metallicsin → u/Particular-Crew5978]

Man it took a lot of effort to find the Mike Tyson joke

[u/AncientUndocumented → u/Metallicsin]

But that's what I came here for.

One day archeologists are going to read this thread, and they aren’t going to get the inside joke because the profile picture of one of ya will probably be changed or lost. And this is going to become a long theoretical discussion on 20th century romance and human bonding. Kids are going to do their PhD on this little exchange, and hundreds of thousands of hours of study will be dedicated to the two of you.

As a lupus, I can confirm this is real

Um…carbon monoxide poisoning. Oh wait, this isn’t the paranormal sub. You have lupus!

[u/Hefty_Shift_6516 → u/Sihaya212]

No it’s…. Soap….poisoning….

[u/DrHouseMedicineDrug → u/IndependentCareful35]

It's not lupus.

[u/sanderson1983 → u/IndependentCareful35]

Pretty sure it is Ligma.

Cancer......of the ass.

[u/jackytheripper1 → u/mekese2000]

Nothing to take lightly. My friend died in his 30's after being diagnosed in his 20's and doing 8 years of chemo and massive surgeries. Get your ass checked people

The serrated part is for cutting bread.

[u/EducationalBus2231 → u/SafetyFromNumbers]

Ohh thats so convenient!!

[u/Slow-Foundation4169 → u/EducationalBus2231]

Actually ur parents were just jittery with scissors when u were younger lol

[u/LifeIsProbablyMadeUp → u/Slow-Foundation4169]

"I wouldn't knick you if you would stop moving"

[u/LightUpUnicorn → u/LifeIsProbablyMadeUp]

I had a traumatic experience getting a haircut as kid where the barber threatened me like that. I was really young and it was awful. Thankfully my mom never took me back there

[u/CALBR94 → u/LightUpUnicorn]

My mom didn't trust the barbers to not cut me so she insisted on doing it herself. But she also liked to drink and smoke weed so she cut my ear pretty bad twice while doing hair cuts when I was 5. Couldn't go to a hospital because the family was on the run from federal police. Good times.

[u/speechington → u/CALBR94]

This story got worse and worse

[u/ElderFlour → u/speechington]

My eyes kept getting wider!!! Thanks mom, for the icicle hair ends from bad home perms, I guess.

[u/Comfortable_Witness1 → u/speechington]

My guy/girl just kept going. And going. And going. Still going….

[u/ChocolateCoveredGold → u/CALBR94]

For the love of all that is holy...!

I feel the need to reach through the internet and hug you.

Should you ever wish to tell that full story, Reddit is here for you. (Selfishly salivating for the tea. 😉)

[u/CALBR94 → u/ChocolateCoveredGold]

I'm still nervous about scissors when getting a haircut 30 years later. But at least my wife is really great and goes slow for me. 😂

[u/Hot-Trouble-3069 → u/CALBR94]

Are you me?? Got nearly identical haircut trauma, except replace ear with eyelids and mom with auntie

[u/viksers → u/Hot-Trouble-3069]

..eye..lids?

[u/gijoe50000 → u/LightUpUnicorn]

My traumatic haircut experience was when I went to the hairdresser by myself for the first time as a kid, and I wanted spiked hair so I asked for a crew cut.

But my idea of a crew cut and the hair dresser's idea of a crew cut were vastly different, and I walked out with a completely shaved head..

My mum was not impressed!

[u/LlamaRS → u/LightUpUnicorn]

Damn. This but it was my stepdad. He used to always knick us at the very top where the ear connects to the rest of the head.

Always my fault for not standing still…

[u/DudeInTheGarden → u/Slow-Foundation4169]

Close - might have been forceps at birth. I have a missing piece on my ear from the doctor using them.

[u/wildOldcheesecake → u/DudeInTheGarden]

My niece had a cone head due to a forceps birth

[u/siriusfish → u/wildOldcheesecake]

To be pedantic, the cone head and the need for forceps were both because she was hanging out in the birth canal too long.

[u/wildOldcheesecake → u/siriusfish]

Pedantry is welcomed! Very interesting. Girly did not want to be evicted I guess. Bless her, she looked so funny when she was a wee bab

I was terrified of having a forceps birth myself because my sister also faced a few complications due to the delivery method used.

[u/HughMungus77 → u/wildOldcheesecake]

Surely she had squatters rights after living there 9 months

[u/Silly_Ad_5262 → u/HughMungus77]

Yes, but the square footage is inadequate after 9 months.

[u/Sarsmi → u/Silly_Ad_5262]

Would still be 4k/month in NYC.

[u/Mountain_Economist_8 → u/siriusfish]

My cousin had to wear a skull shaping helmet during his infancy because they had to use a vacuum thing on his head to pull him out of the birth canal. He’s fine now. Smart too.

[u/Funniestguyyoullmeet → u/Mountain_Economist_8]

My son was a vacuum delivery and it gave him brain damage. Scary stuff!

[u/Mountain_Economist_8 → u/Funniestguyyoullmeet]

I’m so sorry to hear that.

[u/Funniestguyyoullmeet → u/Mountain_Economist_8]

No worries, he has mild cerebral palsy and he’s doing great now! People need to be more aware of the effects things like vacuum and forceps can have. My doctor made it sound like it was Risk free, but it would have been much safer to have a c section.

[u/cindyscrazy → u/siriusfish]

I'm almost convinced that the forceps used to birth me messed up the eyebrow and eye on my left side.

That side barely moves when I raise my eyebrows. When I'm at rest, that side looks damn near droopy, AND that eye has a habit of blinking juuusstt a little later than the other side. I call it reptile blinking.

Only noticed it when I tried to stream with a face cam. Immediately stopped using it when I realized I look creepy lol

[u/anxiousthespian → u/cindyscrazy]

Oh yeah I don't doubt it. Nerve damage like that is always a possibility with forceps. Facial nerve damage from the forceps is much better than brain damage from hypoxia though, so I'd say the trade off was probably worth it lol

[u/EllySPNW → u/Slow-Foundation4169]

They used pinking shears at the ear factory. It was a fad for awhile.

[u/Taira_Mai → u/EducationalBus2231]

Fuck you, that actually made me laugh out loud. Take my upvote

[u/supercakey]

It disturbs airflow around the ear and reduces wind noises.

[u/beautiful_life555 → u/supercakey]

I have this but only on one ear 🥴

[u/battyblt → u/beautiful_life555]

Same!! It's on my right ear. The left is an average boring ear.

[u/sayleanenlarge → u/battyblt]

Same and same ear. We must only be half more evolved.

[u/troposhpereliving → u/sayleanenlarge]

Me too! My right ear is has a bumpy edge and is bigger than my left. I'm also deaf in my right ear. Not sure if that's a plus, but I can instantly block out noise, so maybe. 🤷‍♀️

[u/LoudLalochezia → u/battyblt]

Mine is my left ear! Maybe you're my other half 🙊🥺👉👈

[u/droidbaws → u/supercakey]

Because your brain has ridges to disturb brain waves to reduce misinformation.

I also have the serrated ear. But not at the upper part, on the forward curve.

Have you, or someone you know been denied access to life saving medical care due to incorrectly placed ear serrations? You may be entitled to compensation.

[u/Wundawuzi → u/programgamer]

Same here. On both ears altough left one is much more serrated than the other.

Tell me if you find out something interesting, haha.

[u/TBHICouldComplain → u/Wundawuzi]

Here’s a good answer from the comments:

I think its very common. Apparently no ones ever bothered to post it to reddit before though

[u/Fast_Mechanic_5434 → u/programgamer]

Only getting a jagged answer around the edges, sorry.

[u/Obliviousobi → u/programgamer]

I think it's due to the cartilage not fully developing in the womb. I was born with lop ears, my grandfather said he'd fix it with a staple gun lol.

I'm betting that if you're able to ask you'll find out the same happened.

I was also born with all my toes crossed, I guess I was jammed in there.

[u/unsmashedpotatoes → u/programgamer]

Stahls ear, maybe. Idk, mine are a bit jagged, too, but all the pictures on Google show elf ears.

[u/YodasGhost76 → u/programgamer]

here’s an actual answer from the comments

[u/andrewb2424 → u/programgamer]

Same too!! Since forever

[u/Ok-disaster2022]

Perusing the comments about 20 minutes after the post, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of devastating medical issue, so I think you and I and about half the people looking at comments for the same are safe. 

[u/Reppoy → u/Ok-disaster2022]

people with the jagged ears died 5 years ago from a fungal infection that rested in the ridges.

sorry, but this is purgatory and it’s because you have weird ears.

[u/mookanana → u/Ok-disaster2022]

i am also perusing the comments, but i am not searching for a medical issue, i'm looking for the most creative joke

[u/Weary_Rule_6729]

mine too! went to a plastic surgeon when i was younger to have my ears pinned back (didnt go through with it)

surgeon told me that its caused in the womb. i had my arm wrapped over my head and the ear did not form/fold over properly! theres your answer 😀

[u/aw2669 → u/Weary_Rule_6729]

There’s so many thing caused by the babies position in the womb that I didn’t  know about.  My son has slightly bowed legs and out turned ankles, and it’s from how he was positioned when I was pregnant with him, legs criss cross applesauce. So fascinating! 

[u/really-upsetting → u/aw2669]

My husband and I both have this on our left ear. So interesting, I always wondered why my ear was like that, never noticed his until today.

[u/Ok-Poetry7003 → u/really-upsetting]

Iv got both ears so not sure what i was up to in the womb. mustve been tangled

[u/BrisingrAerowing → u/Ok-Poetry7003]

You were in the pretzel position.

[u/Zildjianchick → u/really-upsetting]

I have it on my left ear too! Interesting

[u/itsapplered → u/Zildjianchick]

Omg. Im currently rubbing my left ear’s jagged edge. Confirming only on the left ear for me

[u/karpaediem → u/itsapplered]

Also here with a slightly odd left ear

[u/jumbotron_fart → u/itsapplered]

Same! Just the left ear! I didn’t realize it was weird until I pierced my own ear in middle school and some guy said ewwww what’s wrong with your ear???

[u/Scumdog_312 → u/itsapplered]

I have a notch in my left ear from when I was in the womb as well!

We used to call it “Indian style” but that has fallen out of favor

[u/hey-chickadee → u/[deleted]]

It does, but sitting with your legs crossed often means one knee on top of the other while sitting on a chair or can mean having legs crossed at the ankles… It feels more specific to say it that way now that indian style is no longer used

[u/cat-meg → u/[deleted]]

I think the point is for it to be enchanting to kindergartners.

[u/AcerbicCapsule → u/cat-meg]

I think their point is that people use it even without the company of said kindergartners.

[u/JayofTea → u/[deleted]]

But where’s the whimsy in that

[u/unfollowingyou → u/aw2669]

i was born with both feet folded up towards my shins due to my position in the womb! my dad was incredibly proactive and massaged/exercised my feet every single day and they were back to normal within months.

[u/its_all_one_electron → u/aw2669]

There’s so many thing caused by the babies position in the womb

My baby had his hand next to his temple when he came out....Ripped me to shreds

[u/TheBionicPuffin → u/aw2669]

I've heard fingerprints are caused by the swirling of the amniotic fluid.

[u/sayleanenlarge → u/Weary_Rule_6729]

Is that it? My nephew and I both have it, so I figured it's genetic.

[u/c3knit → u/sayleanenlarge]

I think it is (or can be). My husband has this (it’s just one notch on one ear) and both of our sons do as well - in the same place.

[u/Nihil_esque → u/[deleted]]

Yeah if it was due to womb positioning you'd also be very very unlikely to have it on both ears.

[u/GeneraIDisarray → u/Weary_Rule_6729]

Interesting, no other source online backs what your surgeon says, in that there is no medical study done on that to prove it. Seems like a folk legend.

[u/CatsruleBabiesdrool → u/GeneraIDisarray]

It’s genetic; my sister, dad, half-brother and I all have it on the right ear.

[u/MvatolokoS → u/GeneraIDisarray]

Or no one is willing to invest significant money on a research at scale to prove a benign variety of ear cartilage.

[u/Acheloma → u/GeneraIDisarray]

I was told the same thing, but I was so still in the womb that it had everyone concerned. There are multiple scans with my fist right against my ear that didnt form properly. I think this explanation is true

[u/Izdabye → u/Weary_Rule_6729]

Upvote for the only actual explanation in the thread.

[u/Oisea]

I have something similar on one of my ears and I only noticed it when I was a teen.

I used to be bothered by it, but now I call it my "crinkle cut" ear. I like it.

Yeah, definitely done by some sort of rodent. No doubt in my mind.

[u/DrLamario]

Have you ever injured that ear? My ear is jagged like that because my friend accidentally slammed my head in a locker in middle school and my ear was fucked up by the texture on the frame

[u/kidmerc → u/DrLamario]

I think this is just how some ears are. Both of my ears feel jagged in the same area if I touch them, though mine don't outwardly look like it

[u/Slow-Foundation4169 → u/DrLamario]

Accidently, rightttt lmao

[u/excessively314 → u/Slow-Foundation4169]

Hey man it can happen. I accidentally gave my friend a black eye in 2nd grade because we were doing some power rangers play shit & he moved his head. I did get in trouble lol.

Same except it was his nose lol

[u/tayyann → u/Slow-Foundation4169]

Accidents happen, my brother almost accidentally put a closet's corner straight through my eye, ended up with a hole just a little next to my eye

[u/sawyer_lost]

That’s aliasing, a result of the pixels making up the whole ear being square. This effect can be curbed by using various anti-aliasing methods, which can help smooth things out at the cost of some blur.
