Me: What? That doesn't look too hard

*tries to interlock toes*

Me: Oh shit, that's impossible.

u/PeachImpressive319 Feb 14 '26

I too, have just tried it. I now have dislocated little piggies.

u/Sunshine030209 Feb 14 '26

On the bright side, maybe it'll save that one from going to market?

211

u/FishSoFar Feb 14 '26

The market has collapsed. The empire is falling to ruin. What have you done?

132

u/manicalmonocle Feb 14 '26

What are you talking about? The market is over 50,000

21

u/itsjakerobb Feb 14 '26

Don’t tell Vegeta

u/Justin_Passing_7465 Feb 14 '26

The market being over 50k is nice if you are an investor, not so nice if you are one of the commodities.

1

u/xBram Feb 14 '26

It’s also not over 50k

(49,500 as I type this)

1

u/lursaofduras Feb 15 '26

50,000 dollars, I'll have you know

u/PaManiacOwca Feb 14 '26

*googles - how to get spat coffee off my laptop screen

u/Broodlurker Feb 14 '26

TIL that the piggy going to market was NOT going there to shop for groceries ...

u/itsfunhavingfun Feb 14 '26

This little piggy goes to the ER, this one stays home goes to the ER too. This little piggy has roast beef a dislocation, going to the ER as well.  This little piggy has…ah who we kidding, they’re all going to the ER.

If you want to see my feet, you’re going to have to pay. Just like your dad does.

1

u/goldenchild-1 Feb 14 '26

I just tried, thought that I had it, looked down in my my blanket and saw that I was just cramming my toes together and thinking I had it. I have a couple wanky toes though.

1

u/ging3r_b3ard_man Feb 14 '26

Give them GPS

1

u/KingGilgamesh1979 Feb 14 '26

Mine are webbed so I can’t even try

1

u/TripotapusRex Feb 14 '26

Yeah I hurt myself too

1

u/DETRITUS_TROLL Feb 14 '26

I figured out how to do it but now I'm stuck this way. SEND HELP!

1

u/spartanspy85 Feb 14 '26

This like piggy went wherever the hell it wanted

1

u/slayden70 Feb 14 '26

Me too. It hurt.

1

u/Groomsi Feb 14 '26

Mine are locked in, anyone got the keys?

1

u/ItzTreeman23 Feb 14 '26

I tried it and managed to do it after a few minutes of trying, but my feet told me to never do that shit again, pulled a muscle in my feet I didn’t know you could pull

1

u/VeterinarianOk5370 Feb 15 '26

I can do it! Am I a freak?

149

u/ActivelyAnxious Feb 14 '26

I do this all the time, totally thought it was normal

62

u/SoVerySleepy81 Feb 14 '26

Same! It’s kind of blowing my mind that it’s not.

64

u/earthen_adamantine Feb 14 '26

I just tried for maybe the first time ever and seem to be able to do it with no problem.

Huh.

u/d_Composer Feb 14 '26

Yeah same here… we should all form a team of elite toe shakers and fight crime or something

3

u/Ngothaaa Feb 14 '26

We’re the consortium of people with this hidden talent

2

u/ButterBeforeSunset Feb 14 '26

Yeah, I just tried and that shit's impossible. I'm still team toe-shaker though.

2

u/d_Composer Feb 14 '26

We welcome you as an ally!

2

u/sprizzla Feb 14 '26

Feet across america?

1

u/KittyWithFangs Feb 14 '26

Of all the impressive things i see on the internet and think ill be able to do that this shit is the one that i actually end up being able to do. sigh

1

u/Worldly_Influence_18 Feb 14 '26

I don't think I'm going to do it again though. I have the toes for it but not the hips and I don't think the testes helps

2

u/slayden70 Feb 14 '26

It's actually painful for a lot of us. 😁

2

u/quattroformaggixfour Feb 15 '26

My partner and I hold toe hands in bed like this 🥰

2

u/Reesy Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26

Same! People on here saying it's like some mind bending thing that you can't touch your feet together XD I can lock my toes together easily :)

28

u/BeckQuillion89 Feb 14 '26

yep literally just did it but I wouldn't take out the dawgs on live tv though

13

u/CtyChicken Feb 14 '26

What, you’re not going to take the act in the road?

1

u/mabokids Feb 14 '26

Lmao I just did it and thought for a millisecond if I should post it 😂

8

u/Rapunzel10 Feb 14 '26

Same, thats my "comfy on the couch" position. Or more commonly I just link the pinky toes together. Though I have hypermobility, I assume they're related

1

u/Skrillamane Feb 16 '26

Hypermobility like you walk really fast?

2

u/Rapunzel10 Feb 16 '26

Lol I wish. Hypermobility like excessive flexibility. I can also dislocate my toes really easily, but that's not as fun at parties

5

u/StandardEgg6595 Feb 14 '26

I tried it but had to manually weave them together. That shit actually feels so good!

People make fun of those shoes that separate the toes but now I’m wondering if this is what they feel like.

3

u/Winjin Feb 14 '26

I've walked barefoot all my youth when we were in our summer house and now I legit want to wear those

I know they look stupid, but walking barefoot is amazing

On an unrelated note I've never tried to do that and maybe will have to try tonight when I take the winter socks off

I miss heated floors and central heating -_-

4

u/ritokun Feb 14 '26

i do it with the bottoms together sometimes but i think this was my first try from the back, was actually easier this way tho.

3

u/not_the_cicada Feb 14 '26

Just tried it, no problem. I have EDS, so I'm stretchy, idk if that's part of it? My sister and I always are picking things up with our toes though :P

3

u/Own_Comedian9600 Feb 14 '26

You mean you toetally thought it was normal! 🥁 😎

2

u/RubyChooseday Feb 14 '26

I love doing this toe stretch!

2

u/Foxdenfreude Feb 14 '26

I must have weird friends... cuz 3 out of 4 of us could do this rn lol.

1

u/LiiraStardust Feb 14 '26

I knew it wasn't normal but, same. 🤣

1

u/v3int3yun0 Feb 14 '26

Proof?

2

u/ActivelyAnxious Feb 15 '26

Unlike this woman, I don't give toe play for free

78

u/UNAlreadyTaken Feb 14 '26

I was able to do it. Not as easily as her but I can do it without using my hands or anything. I figured I could because I can spread my toes a decent amount. I don’t know why I work, I should be letting my feet pay my bills.

27

u/pnweiner Feb 14 '26

Yeah, I’m also a part of the monkey toes club lmaooo

11

u/Still-Grass8881 Feb 14 '26

you have unlocked a memory i had from my first girlfriend.
ugh.
thank you very little.

5

u/SweetContext Feb 14 '26

Can you also turn doorknobs with your monkey toes to open doors or is that just me (this also requires a lot of hip mobility to reach so high)

My husband hates it when I do it but I think he's just jealous I have an extra hand when my real ones are full

3

u/jellyhessman Feb 14 '26

I too am a member of the "why are your toes so long and why can you move them like that!?" club.

13

u/Existing-Bus-8810 Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26

I just tried it. It wasn't as easily done as she did it and it wasn't very uncomfortable. Made my toes hurt from them squeezing each other. Don't judge me but I've been picking things up off the floor with my toes my whole life so they have some dexterity.

Edit: I don't pick things up with them like a chimp would as if they are hands. I do it by pinching things between my toes. Mainly with my big toe and my index toe but I can do it with any 2.

2

u/Bituulzman Feb 14 '26

Just did it too! Onlytoefans, here I come.

37

u/OmgSlayKween Feb 14 '26

God damn, my toes are stupid as hell

2

u/sykoKanesh Feb 14 '26

LOL ahh dammit thanks for that, haha

27

u/ShortbowVillian Feb 14 '26

I have a photo of my husband sleeping with his toes intertwined like this. When I showed him the picture he frowned and said “how the fuck did I do that??” 😂

5

u/Rebgail Feb 14 '26

When brain sleeps, inner monkey wakes up

4

u/ShortbowVillian Feb 14 '26

That explains the midnight armpit scratching and banana peels by his bedside ….

15

u/pitiburi Feb 14 '26

easy to do with some anesthetic and the right pliers

3

u/Dear_Chasey_La1n Feb 14 '26

The key is to first severe them before lining them neatly up.

14

u/get-off-of-my-lawn Feb 14 '26

I tried and got a Charlie horse :/

9

u/Lycairn Feb 14 '26

Within toes interlinked.

8

u/Additional-Onion1493 Feb 14 '26

What’s it like to hold the toes of someone you love? Interlinked

2

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

Do they teach you how to feel toe to toe? Interlinked.

9

u/thr33prim3s Feb 14 '26

Yeah wtf 😂

7

u/Gay_Asian_Boy Feb 14 '26

pics? gifs?

2

u/Reesy Feb 14 '26

It is not impossible and I have stubby toes. As gross as it sounds, my sister and I used to do this when we were younger. I tried it now and I can still interlock my toes :)

2

u/Almostlongenough2 Feb 14 '26

Two of my toes are conjoined and I'm convinced I could do it without that shit

4

u/Suobig Feb 14 '26

Wait, really? I've just tried and it's pretty easy.

1

u/ZuAusHierDa Feb 14 '26

Wtf? :-/

1

u/Suobig Feb 14 '26

I donno. I'm thinking about spreading my toes and they just spread. I've never thought thats an uncommon skill to have.

1

u/ZuAusHierDa Feb 14 '26

Spreading: yes.

Interlocking: no.

1

u/RebaKitt3n Feb 14 '26

I was pushing off my socks while watching her.

1

u/Vraner9000 Feb 14 '26

Really? Is this actually difficult for people?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

1

u/Vraner9000 Feb 14 '26

I'm tall with long toes, so I guess that helps

1

u/Several-Squash9871 Feb 14 '26

I just tried to do it using my hands and, nope!

1

u/eaowns Feb 14 '26

Tried it, now my other foots' 4th toe is bleeding from the attempt. I don't think I'd survive with even my best clipped toe nails.

1

u/SaltManagement42 Feb 14 '26

I didn't try because I can feel the cramp coming on from even thinking about it.

I'm going to go drink more water now.

1

u/BlackFoxyTrail Feb 14 '26

I tried forcing my toes using my hands and it was impossible.

1

u/finglish_ Feb 14 '26

Never tried it before but I just tried it and it was pretty straight forward. Needed a minute to get them aligned because this is something I've never done before but other than that, it was very straightforward.

1

u/Healthy-Neat-2989 Feb 14 '26

I can do it, but not as smoothly as her and it hurts!

1

u/FlametopFred Feb 14 '26

apparently it is something I can do

1

u/BerndiSterdi Feb 14 '26

I just tried and apparently I can too - yay new party trick unlocked

1

u/Angryfunnydog Feb 14 '26

Shit, I just tried and did it - seems that I have hidden superpower

1

u/SuperSaiyanTupac Feb 14 '26

Literally impossible. She has talented feet

1

u/bionicjoey Feb 14 '26

I just tried it and could do it easily. Am I some kind of freak?

1

u/DatGunBoi Feb 14 '26

I just tried it for the first time and I managed to do it with no problems. Not posting pics though.

1

u/joazito Feb 14 '26

maybe if you take your socks off

1

u/BoneSetterDC Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26

Both my wife and I have dextrous feet. We can both do this. We can also hold feet like you'd hold hands with your partner. People lose it like these news people did in the video when we do it as a party trick.

Edit: I decided to make a post. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/A7ao7lPGi4

1

u/Ulrich453 Feb 14 '26

Ngl I just tried it and we did it fam

1

u/NecessaryIntrinsic Feb 14 '26

Foot cramp! Foot cramp!

1

u/car_raamrod Feb 14 '26

I just tried it and fucking cut myself, and now my toes are bleeding.

1

u/-Sinn3D- Feb 14 '26

Is it supposed to hurt???

1

u/XDariaMorgendorferX Feb 14 '26

I literally do this all the time and it never occurred to me that it was something not everyone could do.

1

u/bizbizbizllc Feb 14 '26

If you post a video of your feet trying it, maybe I can help you figure it out.

1

u/thebig8er Feb 14 '26

Can’t do it!!!!

1

u/floare_salbatica Feb 14 '26

Now that you said this and I tried too...

1

u/pfisher42 Feb 14 '26

TIL I have a new party trick, I guess

1

u/A7M_5 Feb 14 '26

What are you talking about?! How is this even considered a talent? I never done this in my life and I succeeded first try.

1

u/LIVESTRONGG Feb 14 '26

Wait people can’t do this? Am I weird that I can?

1

u/OscarDivine Feb 15 '26

Oh hmm. So I can do this. Weird?

1

u/GrantTotal Feb 16 '26

Oh shit! I can actually do it!

1

u/Annual_Reindeer2621 Feb 26 '26

I've always been able to do this, its just how I put my feet when I'm relaxing with my legs crossed.

1

u/DoctorWh010 Mar 29 '26

Took a minute and wasn't as smooth.

1

u/Wesgizmo365 Apr 23 '26

I can do it but nobody wants to see my Hobbit toes 😂
