I can tie a knot in a spaghetti while it’s in my mouth.
I can bend my knees backwards to about 200°. It’s just not that interesting + difficult to show off in normal pants + gives away that I’m secretly a horse.
I can remember 70 items passwords.
I can write on a blackboard with both hands simultaneously, my left hand mirroring the right one.
And talking of blackboards, at some point I mastered drawing doted lines with chalk in a single stroke.
Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l789l6np-qAEdit: I can whistle painfully loud using my fingers, when I was a kid it was a rather common skill. Not so much now.
Tuvan throat singing
Hell yeah.
Mastered it?
I’m pretty good, but mastered, I would never claim that level
Sweet.
I muck around trying to mimic the style, but can not really hit it. Great sound to be able to make.
I can do a perfect cartoonish witch cackle. My friends love it lol.
I can also unhinge my left jaw like a snake. My jaw on that side is just flat on the top and bottom, so there’s no actual joint. I was born like this and it’s pretty painful, but seeing people get freaked out over me opening my mouth much more than it ought to is great.
You would be getting burned in the witch trials. Witch laugh + weird snake jaw and im convinced you probably are a witch
I can play Christmas carols by making farting noises with my hands.
I can impersonate a pretty good Indian accent, it’s not super culturally accepted to walk around telling people they’ve called Microsoft customer service
Kinda useless but I can remember numbers for a really long time. Still remember all the plate numbers of every car I’ve had or my parents had from 1990 to today. All the phone numbers and addresses I or my family or friends had from the same time range. Every debit card and bank account number I’ve had.
I’m terrible with names but great with numbers. Trade off, I guess.
Kind of similar here. I have an almost photographic memory, but only really for numbers.
When I newly moved here, I went out shopping for furniture. At the cash register, the lady asked me what my postal code was for delivery. At that point, I had never properly read my full address, but it was on the contract I had signed. So, I went into the back of my brain, found a screenshot of that and could read out the code. Then I obviously double-checked, but yeah, I got all 5 digits right.
This is actually very useful!
I can stick my pinky entirely inside my nose and expel air from my tear ducts, separately or simultaneously.
Oh man, I could do that as a kid.
I could also somehow blow bubbles out of my eyes whilst underwater. I would stick my little fingers up my nose and clamp my mouth shut then just try to breathe as hard as possible.
My mum was not very happy when I showed her. Thought I was going to do myself some damage, and she was probably correct. Then one day I just stopped doing it. No idea if I can still do it.
Thank you for reminding me!!
I can clap with one hand, but it’s impossible to do without looking mentally challenged.
I can, too!
I can do a pretty decent Smeagol impression, complete with moving about on all fours. There really isn’t a time and place for that to emerge, sadly.
Pretty sure I’ve seen that Farming While Beige guy on YouTube do both in a video.
Surely you whip this out on halloween or in a dark alley way
That’d be a great way for me to get dragged along, showing some stupid hobbitses the way into Mordor
Someone I knew ran a “talent show” about a decade ago for a summer show at a local theater.
What they wanted was a showcase of musical talents and things related to musical theater specifically. They neglected to put that in any of the advertising materials.
I was quite upset when they didn’t include a little girl who did a spot on Gollum impression with movement, props, and full scene reenactments. She was super excited to show everyone, and while everyone else was blown away, “this isn’t really the type of talent we’re going for” is all he could muster.
That girl was a solid 10/10, and should have been allowed a slot in the show.
Her talent is wonderful, a truly hidden artform. It’s a shame the talent show organizer couldn’t recognize that fact.
You expect me to believe “Butt Master Flex” cannot find an appropriate time to say “my precious” and stare intensely while twiddling your fingers Mr.Burns style?
You sir, need to find your bootstraps
I’ve got a good Smeagol and a good Stitch. Never comes out
I’m a super smeller, and I’ve trained it well and made myself some party tricks. For example, I can identify a coffee down to the grow region and altitude based on the scent of a fresh cup.
Also I can roll myself up into a little ball and be very compact. I used to date someone with a thing for contortion, I don’t think I’ve really shown it off since.
I’ve got a very specific ‘talent’ in that regard. I can smell when tomato sauce has the right amount of salt.
I put that into quotation marks, because it’s more of a learned skill probably, since I have cooked potentially literally a metric ton of tomato sauce in my life.
My mum once joked that she’s surprised I’m not orange from all the tomato sauce I eat.Gus?
I wouldn’t call myself a super smeller, but I smell things to check how hot they are because hot things smell different. My wife cannot believe in my ability and mocks me and says I’m just feeling the heat with my face.
Well, similar to how hot things sound different when poured because their viscosity is different, the heat would also cause different compounds to be released and likely also release more aroma in general I guess.
I suck a mean dick. 😤
What about a kind dick? 😊
Kind Dicks Remain Unsucked by Kolanaki
I have no idea why my voice to text capitalized the beginning of that.
Makes it sound like a punk rock song. I’d at least give it a listen.
We could get @assassassin to scream it out.
but why do you almost never show this ability?
Cuz most people don’t lemme suck their dick. 🤷♂️
I can fold my lips out over themselves to make a perfect “giant plastic clown lips” look.
Its usually not well received.
This is a skill I am genuinely impressed with
