Reply to comment by whhe11 in TIL, the placenta that forms with a fetus isn't created by the mother. It grows from the fertilized egg and some fetuses actually develop outside the uterus attached to the intestines in the body cavity. by darw1nf1sh

Nerve-activated water grip mode. I had no idea, how does this work?

Nerve-activated water grip mode sounds way better

Dunno exactly, but for whatever reason your hands/feet getting pruney in water is not a physical reaction from water entering your skin, its something your nerves cause in response to detecting water.

People with nerve damage to hands/feet don't get pruney hands/feet.

Also why it doesn't happen to the skin anywhere else on your body.
