This Young Man's Hands Resemble Popeye, Claims His Father Used to Punch Crabs While His Mother Was Pregnant

Dream - A man from Pekanbaru, Riau has attracted attention because he has hands that are different from normal humans. In fact, compared to his body, the young man's hands appear disproportionate.

In a video uploaded by the TikTok account @vandaengsaputra, the man's hands appear quite large, resembling Popeye cartoon.

Having large hands, this man often receives questions from curious netizens.

"Many friends still ask and wonder why my hands can be this big. Alright, I will answer and this is my story," he said.

He said, when he was still in the womb, his father once killed a large crab. According to myth, killing animals while the wife is pregnant is not allowed.

When he was born, his body was actually very small, weighing only 1.5 kilograms. His grandmother even said that his body was the size of a bottle at birth.

The family was even worried that he would not survive because he had consumed amniotic fluid, but fortunately he could still be saved.

Because he had a small body and mouth, he had to use a tool to intake nutrients into his body.

The size of his hands was still normal when he was born. But after 15 days, he was taken to a midwife for a health check-up.

"Everyone was shocked because from 1.5 kg, at 15 days old I weighed 4 kg. When the swaddling cloth was opened, everyone was even more surprised because my hands were big," he said.

His grandmother, who took care of him, did not know when his grandson's hands became big, even though she bathed him every day.

Due to economic limitations, he could only seek treatment from a midwife. The midwife who handled the man said that everything was normal, only his hand size was big.

Having large hands, this man often receives mockery from people around him, including at school. But he remains grateful for his large hands.

The post managed to capture the attention of netizens. Many were curious about the man's story. There were also many who believed in the myth of killing animals during pregnancy.

"Yes, that's true, that's why when pregnant, always seek forgiveness so that nothing happens to the baby in the womb," wrote @baim shopaholic.

"Whatever you are experiencing now is God's intervention. Stay strong and all the best for you," wrote @well dan.
