Was this not known? I've known that my fingers wrinkle the same in water every time since I was 5.
- Unfortunately, just because most people know something, doesn't mean shit unless some guys in lab coats get grant money to test it a bunch of times.
  
  They don't necessarily need to be paid, they just need to corroborate the evidence and be established in their fields.
  Will that happen?
  ... no, but it could.
I never thought about it. That's interesting research. Can't imagine what use it is to know that, but we are often surprised by that sort of thing.
Asking the important questions(but the link isn't working for me)
- Here's an archive.ph link, maybe that will work better: http://archive.today/2025.05.14-174804/https://www.binghamton.edu/news/story/5547/do-your-fingers-wrinkle-the-same-way-every-time-youre-in-the-water-too-long-new-research-says-yes
I mean that's... Science.
I certainly never paid attention to it. And I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense. But it's knowledge I have now.
WTF
Did I pay for this?
- Maybe. Looks like it may find uses though. That's how science goes, ask stupid questions, sometimes wind up with surprisingly useful answers
