Just thought I'd try this and have discovered I can only do this on my left hand, not my right! 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the others, this ranking should not be taken too seriously. He had once said that he will never sing "Rain" again and now he still sings it sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just tried this! I can do it with both hands and I can even slightly overextend my middle finger!? Now it only I was as charming as Mika this would make me look less weird 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it only I was as charming as Mika this would make me look less weird My fingers are pretty flexible, I can bend them all backwards much more than most people... still, the "4" works slightly less well with my left hand than with my right. But it always was the way I showed "4" before people were wondering about Mika doing it that way in the BG video, and I was like, what, why, is there another way to do it?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I think most people just bend in the thumb. I can do the Mika method on both hands though. Maybe it's something keyboard players can do as they're used to stretching? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of that scene in Inglorious Bastards where the officer putting up three fingers in a “not German way” revealed that he was not German.

But it doesn't make sense to me, because when you count with your fingers, you start with the thumb showing "one", don't you? So "4" would automatically be all fingers except the little one. 5 hours ago, Tunde Pfeffer said: The second version is from youtube or have you uploaded it here? How can I watch (and share from) Youtube? If it is possible that is :-))) Sorry if I ask something silly, I don't know much about these things. :-) I think Eriko downloaded it from Tiktok (not sure how to do that, there's probably apps for it) and re-uploaded it here. Youtube videos can just be embedded here by posting the link, the software embeds it automatically. That used to work with IG too, but not anymore - I can only do that as a Moderator in the source code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or curl in the thumb and little finger to show the 3 middle fingers? Don't practice this outdoors folks, your neighbours will think you're throwing gang signs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's easier for everyone to put their thumbs down, even for those who do it differently... I definitely didn't start this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Tiktok 1680970542037.mp4 His house is just gorgeous. I love how he shows us all these random things. It’s something I would personally pass by in the shop, but seeing it come together in his house is a lot of fun and fitting to the decor. Also: poor flowers! You think the Easter rabbit will fix them?! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style of decor is similar to how I would love my own house to be, if only my Mum would let me 😅 I love the organised randomness of it all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
