Man with largest thumb in the world shows daily struggles of using cellphone
A man from Massachusetts, known for having one of the largest thumbs in the world, has showcased how he navigates everyday tasks, including using his smartphone.
Jacob Pina, 25, has gained viral attention for his impressive five-inch thumb, which has propelled him to create a thriving YouTube channel and amass millions of followers online.
While this unique feature has brought him fame, it has also made certain daily activities, like texting and handling his phone, a bit more challenging.
His right thumb, measuring nearly five inches when fully extended, is just a tad shorter than the six-inch iPhone 16.
In a recent TikTok video, he illustrated this by stretching his thumb to scroll through social media on his device.
The video has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, leaving many viewers astonished and puzzled, with numerous comments questioning whether the footage was edited or if such an extreme stretch causes discomfort.
One commented: “This makes me physically uncomfortable.”
One said: “Is it some sort of condition that causes this or is it edited?”
Another commented: “You don’t understand how confused i am.”
“Bro this is a sword,” one viewer said.
He also shared a video comparing his thumb to a normal thumb, with his looking to be three times longer.
