Your middle finger is only your middle finger if you also count your thumb as a finger. Which I find hard to accept. @showerthoughts 🖕

Its a thumb. Its its own thing. If we had only
5fingers we would be INFERIOR BEINGSglares at spider monkies
Edit: apparently sponkeys have 4 fingers on their hands and thumbs on their feet
Nah it’s the thumb finger, like the index finger etc. We have fully truncated it to just thumb because of how it feels more unique to the others. Doesn’t mean it no longer fits the categorisation though.
Kinda like the goalie on a hockey team or the drummer in a band. Still on the team, just a bit weirder.
how is a thumb different from a finger?
Its a thumb. Its oppsable. If you had 2+ thumbs on each hand we would probably differentiate them more
how does being opposable make it not a finger?
Ah yes, that’s why we can only count to 8 using our fingers
The Sangheli in Halo actually have two fingers and two thumbs on each hand.
