My right hand easily. Deformed pinkie from a childhood break that healed badly. Left hand tougher from the back. Looking there is a distinct pattern of old age spots but not sure if I was aware of the specific pattern before I looked. Front side a scar from another childhood injury - “borrowed” my dad’s saw to try to build something and sliced vertically under my thumb. That I’d recognize
Coordinated I never was!
Probably? I’m not certain. I could certainly rule out most hands as not-mine.
But my hands have just recently begun to acquire wrinkles, and I’m not entirely used to them, yet. So that might make it trickier.
Yeah, i believe this. I rather think that most people actually would recognize their hand, especially in a lineup like that.
I picked this reply over a filthy joke.
Probably. I have mild mallet finger on most of my fingers and I usually have scratches on my hands due to having cats.
Definitely. When I was younger, I had nice enough hands, with long, slim fingers, that I was told several times that I should be a hand model. Now that I’m older, I have distinctively swollen knuckles and veins.
About the video posted above by GuanoLad, could anyone give a brief description for those of us who don’t care to watch videos?
It’s a task from the TV series Taskmaster where the contestants have to find their hands in amongst about a thousand photos. Hilarity ensues.
I think I’d recognize my knuckles but not my palms. The sun damage to my knuckles would tell tales but the undersides are harder to tell.
It’s a clip from the excellent (honestly one of my favorite shows across multiple years) British comedy panel show Taskmaster. Five comedians/actors are given silly tasks to complete in a semi-faux-competition (the competition isn’t scripted, but the actual winner isn’t the point) which are filmed separately for each contestant then later graded in studio with assorted comedic banter.
In this one each contestant had a hand photographed at the beginning of the competition. Later it is posted in a room with thousands of other hand photos and they have to ferret out which is theirs. There are multiple ways to figure out tasks and lateral thinking is often rewarded (also occasionally punished if that is funnier).
