science savvy 🧬 My surgical scar from childhood does not get dirty
I was in a motorcycle accident at age 10, a head on collision and my arm snapped from the impact while holding down the throttle. I had to have my arm set and a plate put in to hold down the growth plate. Fast forward 34 years and the surgical scar has never gotten dirty 🤔

science savvy 🧬 The letters of this suncream bottle have floated away.
Theory is that the alcohol in the suncream and printing methods, on the transparent label allowed the ink of the letters to detach. All the letters generally kept their integrity though, which I found extra fascinating.

science savvy 🧬 Earth produces constant low-frequency vibrations… and their source is still not fully understood.
Seismic instruments detect continuous low-frequency vibrations coming from Earth.
Most of it is explained by natural causes like ocean waves and tectonic activity.
But when viewed globally, there appears to be a persistent background rhythm across the planet.
We usually dismiss it as noise…
But what if there’s more structure to it than we realize?

science savvy 🧬 Grey line on finger
Have had it for approx 3 yrs now. but comparing to a picture from 2 yrs ago, I’m noticing that it has become more noticeable (in color and width)
doctors of reddit help a girl out :( (also i have an upcoming appointment w/ family doctor in 2 days)
OK CLARIFICATION bc some of u are drawing conclusions on how white/pale the nails are: No, it is not Terry's. It is due to RECURRING SEVERE ANEMIA. We're talking ferritin levels of 5 and 7 that took MONTHS of treatment to get back to normal values.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINI UPDATE: Turns out this is clinically quite common in people with darker pigmentation like myself, and in most cases it’s just a benign mole under the nail (melanocytic naevus), especially when it's been present for a few yrs. family doctor said cancer cases are more common in people with lighter skin tones, but to be safe and 100% sure I was given a dermatology referral and the appointment has been booked!
we shan't be defeated (yet)! and to be continued ig? (thank u to everyone for the kind words and laughs <3)
