Apart from it looking funny, our carrots this year have been bigger and healthier than last years' crop where we had issues with some form of bugs eating them from the inside. This year, they're all healthy apart from looking quite odd.
Any ideas why all my carrots look like this, this year..?

Looks like it’s got it’s Veg and 2 Veg
Heavy soil (clay? compact?) or stones. The root is hitting some kind of obstruction to growth.
Carrot’s got a cock
What an humorous vegetable, someone post it for the discworld fans
Why did you grow a carrot person? its huge legs and body with its tiny face and a huge penis 😀
It’s just a carrot that identifies as a man, at least your don’t have to ask for it’s pronouns.
you need to send that to Esther Ranzsen on ‘That’s Life’ 😀 . Compacted soil is the answer, though.
Probably because it’s a little cold.
bad soil quality, compacted, stony, lumpy, etc
They were too close. Same happened with mine. Planted too many seeds too closely together. 🥕🥕🥕
Did you use fertilizer? It often causes multiple roots to form. Even rich compost can cause it to happen.
We had a lot like this this year. We’ve put it down to our soil being too hard for the carrots to pass directly through so they’ve had to weave around the obstacles
My mums carrots were all mutants like this too…one of them looked exactly like a roast turkey! I so wish I’d taken a photo 😅
Did you plant them directly in the soil or move them from tray?
It’s a male carrot
Hahaha!! It’s a boy, and a well-hung one already. Just wait till he grows up, and ladies are gonna line up for him in the market
Specifically to remind me of this headstone inscription,
Here lies the body of dear old dick,
He went through life with a twisted prick.
All his life was a life long hunt,
Looking for a girl with a twisted (something rhyming with hunt)
Then when he found one he dropped down dead,
For the one he found had a left hand thread.
Give it a break. It’s a grower, not a shower.
Luck?
