do y'all wear extremely tight shoes or something?

Almost all people in the first world wear shoes that crush their feet/toes. It's how shoes are designed.

This thread is bonkers. Is it some genetic thing, or are Linux users more prone to ingrown toenails?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Fiddling with my toenails for so long primed me for fiddling with my configs, it all makes sense now

My uncle has ingrown toenails, and he uses windows! (Or so I'm told... 🤔)

Nah, ingrown toenails just happen. Might be a genetic thing or something. As a kid I had to get like five surgeries for it on my right big toe and then when it wouldn't stop happening they eventually killed the root at that side of the toenail with some kind of acid to prevent it from happening again. I still occasionally get ingrown nails on the big toe of the other foot that didn't need the surgery.

I rock climb, so yes. I'd rather cut my toe nails straight across and avoid ingrowns, but that doesn't work well with climbing.
