While some people see dimples in certain areas of the body as imperfections, others view them as marks of beauty and charm.
Take actor Henry Cavill, for example—voted the most handsome face of 2022—he proudly sports one himself.
Interestingly, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was born without a chin dimple but reportedly had one surgically added later in life.
However, many people have been left stunned—and even a little horrified—after learning the truth behind this rare genetic trait.
It all kicked off when vlogger and science enthusiast Hank Green decided to reveal the truth about chin dimples—and honestly, some people probably wish he hadn’t.
Responding to a TikTok user who scrunched up his face and asked, “What is this thing?” while pointing to his chin dimple, Green gave an explanation that left viewers more disturbed than enlightened.
It didn’t take long for Hank Green’s comment section to blow up with reactions of shock and mild horror.
Many admitted they had gone their whole lives without knowing—and would’ve been perfectly fine staying blissfully unaware.
One particularly unsettled user summed it up best: “Thanks! Never speak of this again.”
Another viewer commented, “This makes me nauseous,” while a third, more dramatically, declared, “I am so upset that I now know this information.”
A fourth chimed in with, “I’m sorry, but I REALLY hate knowing this—it’s going to haunt me for a long time.”
Still, not everyone was horrified. One person managed to put a humorous spin on the revelation, joking, “So what I’m hearing is that we all have an invisible soul patch?”
