It’s not something I take very seriously but there happens to be a lot of palmistry (hand-reading) literature relating to clubbed thumb on the internet.
If I get the chance to see a Palmist/fortune-teller I might show them out of amusement. I have found both Western and Hindu links. One such example comes from the Laws of Scientific hand-reading (not actually scientific). According to the palmists ‘clubbed thumb’ means that you have a short temper and get very angry. Amusing:
Occasionally a thumb is found with the will phalanx is thick and rounded … [and] is found on the hands of healthy persons. Owing to its peculiar club-like formation is had been called the clubbed thumb, and owing to the thickness, courseness and brutal obstinacy shown, has been designated the murderer’s thumb. This clubbed thumb shows terrific obstinacy … They are dangerous companions however not to be trifled with.
Is this true for you?

I’ve got stubby thumbs, but not a very short temper, though I suppose I am rather obstinate.

I have toe thumbs… That’s what I call them… I googled them and got words such as ugly and freaky but there’s nothing wrong with them! They’re unique!

My left thumb is clubbed… and yeah I get fired up pretty easily about things, although I do not ever say mean things to people, no matter HOW angry I get or even whether they maybe deserve it. There’s never an excuse for being cruel (in my opinion anyway). I pretty much only get angry about issues or people in general anyway though, not individuals.
It’s actually kind of surreal looking at those photos haha, I’ve never seen anyone with a thumb(s) like mine in person before.
