Have you ever thought about using an extra thumb? Perhaps you could play the guitar faster, or hold an extra tool as you continue to work? Well think no more, as Dani Clode has invented just that. We took a trip down to the University of Cambridge, where she collaborates with neuroscientist Tamr Makin to unravel the mysteries of how this extra thumb influences the brain.
Dani envisions a future where augmentation becomes a reality and the third thumb serves as a tool to enhance the capabilities of regular individuals. She also explores the impact this additional thumb can have on daily tasks and cognitive functions. We explore the potential applications of the third thumb, by getting our filmmaker Stuart to test it out and see how it affects his brain by putting him in an MRI to test its functions.
This is the story of Dani Clode’s third thumb and the transformative potential it holds for the future!
how will this affect those who are all thumbs already?
-only three?
I’m all thumbs.

5 minute stand-up from comedian Nate Bargatze about his ancestor with an extra thumb.

I liked her use of rubato and dynamics. Most pianists just take it at full presto and FFF as if it’s a race and not music. The Fazioli is a nice piece of kit, too.
“as if it’s a race and not music.”

I hear you!
from the movie Gattica
Also, you could commit a crime with it, and when the prosecution brings up photographic evidence, argue that it’s clearly AI generated because of the extra finger.
One of the Hmong actors in the movie Grand Torino has a an extra thumb.
Otherwise, not so much.
This must be to benefit our legislators who sit around all day with their thumb up their ass.
I don’t know about 12 fingers, but I heard a joke once about a 12-inch pianist.
A guy walks into a tavern. As he walked up to the bar he noticed a twelve-inch man playing the piano, so he asked the bartender, “What’s that all about?” The bartender told him he that would tell him later. So the guy asked the bartender for a drink. The bartender said, “Before you get your drink, you get to rub the magic beer bottle and make one wish.” “Okay,” said the guy. He went over to the magic beer bottle and rubbed it. Poof. Out came a genie. The genie, of course, said, “You have one wish.” The guy thought about it and then wished for a million bucks. A cloud of smoke filled the room, and then both the genie and the guy disappeared. In a few minutes, the guy reappeared back in the bar with a million ducks all around him. The guy was astounded and said to the bartender, “Hey! I didn’t want a million ducks.” The bartender replied, “Do you think I wanted a twelve-inch Pianist?”
