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.
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.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
This thread is bonkers. Is it some genetic thing, or are Linux users more prone to ingrown toenails?
Fiddling with my toenails for so long primed me for fiddling with my configs, it all makes sense now
