      Iirc that’s actually pretty common. Well, maybe not ‘common’ but way less rare than you’d expect - it’s one of those things that goes undiagnosed most of the time cuz people think it’s just a mole and don’t put any thought into it.

      Genetically speaking, we have ‘milk lines’ similar to like dogs or some shit - the code is there for two rows of three (four?) nipples along the length of your abdomen. That code is just an inactive evolutionary artifact, but some genetic fuckup can toggle it back on.

      …that said, I don’t think hormones are a factor, just genetics. Probably still don’t eat our food though; most of it’s just a wad of sugar, salt, and grease, and diabetes and high bloodpressure will cause a lot more problems than a bonus nipple.
