Cutting toenails in ancient times must have been really annoying, amirite?

Files have existed long before toenail clippers.

Were people very flexible back then, or just very kind to each other?

I was never too flexible, but I did bite my toenails as a kid. I guess you could just do it regularly and never lose the required flexibility.

If you were getting in the position regularly it wouldn't be too difficult to keep up the flexibility. And if you're older and injured you could always get your kids to help.

I heard they kept it right next to their poop knife

You could put a sock on and it would act like a cut glove.

They probably filed them down instead of cutting

Probably used a stone nail file

That's why they invented the scythe!

by Hayesjeramie 3 weeks ago

It just takes finding a rock which has kind of a 'fine sand' level of coarseness and the right shape/size to be a decent nail file.

I'm I just an animal? I routinely tear my fingernails and toenails using my fingers (specifically a small amount of fingernail to get a clean tear)

I mean I do this to. No guarantee on the animal bit

Same here lol. Though, I tend to like, slice through my nails using my nails on the other hand. Hard to explain but I've been doing it that way since I was a kid

Why do you think they only wore sandals?

I've ripped my toenails off by hand for over 40 years. I think this is a nonissue.

From experience of losing nail clippers all the time, you can use a knife or just a sharp object to slice into the nails and peel off bits without damaging the toe pretty easily

They probably just bit off their toenails.

by kirstinernser 3 weeks ago

People used to whittle them down with knives.
