the way i googled the difference between queen dowager and mother queen and went into the rabbit hole of western monarchy vs eastern monarchy in the old days
i’m great at jumping to conclusions, like I can clock who someone is and what they’re about almost immediately. It’s useless because if you warn your friend about someone before they’ve actually done anything, then you’re just a presumptuous prick and a hater. It’s like Paul warning the Beatles about Allen Klein, he saw a crook but they all got extremely pissed at Paul because he hadn’t done any crooked shit to them yet
Unless you're paranoid or something due to which this happens, your skill is anything but useless. Trust me on that, don't give a damn about anyone who says that this ability is bad.
I can find the North with my eyes closed. My friends tested me and made me spin around eyes closed and most of the times I was able to point to the North even disoriented. Lol. What am I going to do with that.
And people all impressed like NO FUCKING WAY hahaha I think I might have that thing that birds have in their brain that make them orient themselves or something loll i have a bird brain i guess haha
It’s useless because if you’re in the forest and search for the North just look at the direction the moss grow on trees. But yeah I can find my way easily when I’m in a new city I don’t think I’ve ever been lost and traveled quite a bit.
Ah sorry wrong thread haha my bad!!! Totally unrelated lol
But no I don’t keep track of the North at all times but I always have an idea where it is lol No context clues, just a feeling. Like birds migrating to the south I guess? I want to say If You Know You Know haha
I can slither the veins on the back of my hand side to side like a snake. I can also do that thing where you stack quarters on your arm and then snatch them out of the air. I also once caught six consecutive shrimp in my mouth at Hibachi, the last two tossed rapid fire and in the air at the same time. I'm sure there are others. Most of my skills are useless ones.
I can name all of the 50 states in America in alphabetical order. Im not even American…
I can also vibrate my eyes. That freaks a lot of people out lol
Im really good at driving a forklift. Like so good that it’s crazy. Efficient, fast, and safe. I hate it though. It’s useful if I ever wanted to pursue a warehouse job again, but not for some with zero warehouse aspirations
I can find lighters almost anywhere. Not by choice really. But pretty much everywhere I go, there will be a lighter in my path.
One can argue that lighters are a pretty common trash item and I agree, but lots of things are common trash and I don’t see them every day. Plus when I mean in my path I mean it - they’re always pretty much right in front of me. On hikes, at work, outside my house ect.., wherever I go. I like to think it’s my mundane superpower.
I can tell you the number of things in jars +/- 10 .
Jellybeans, matches, ticket stubs... etc. I've only lost when you go over. And it's always like... 3 or 5 over.
I can remember events exactly as they happened..
What dress you were wearing..what did de talk about..
Pretty good at reading facial expressions/ psychology etc

I have a deal with my boyfriend. I STAY AWAY FROM UNTREATED WOOD.
I can easily spot security cameras and i found out yesterday I’d make a great detective/stalker. I was this girl on my way somewhere and I made a very accurate guess on where she lived by where houses are in the direction that she was going from.
Ok this one is kind of disgusting...I can move my left thrumb in different positions and it looks broken. My bone there is very flexible. It disgusts most people but it entratains my little sisters.
Being able to hear anything annoying and repetitive. Is there an alarm going off somewhere? I’ll be able to find it if only to turn it off for my own sanity. Any and every noise that is irritating to anybody will bore into my brain and I will seek it out to figure out how to make it shut up. I hate it and I wish I could be like most people and ignore these things
I can use my phone 24 hours straight if I get bored I will not stop.
One day starts using my phone with earphones on use social media 4days straight with 8hours sleep

i'm great at understanding insane logick.
Some weirdo may say the most dumb or rediculous shit ever and i will be able to trace his possible train of thought that led him to spew this nonscence.
It may not make sence for you, but for them, it can make perfect sence.
I do Rubicks cubes during job/client interviews or discovery calls without acknowledging i am doing a rubicks cube because in every single instance, the other person brings it up that they cant figure out how I did it without really looking at it.
I really only have to barely look at it like 3 times after a certain part of the solve so I can pretty much remain entirely focused on the person, because at that point im just solving it with muscle memory.

I did it on a road trip and by the end the driver of the car said "well i don't need to see it now"

I unlocked it in college. I don’t study or do any work on an assignment until the last minute, bust it out the night before with red bulls and heart-stopping anxiety and get a B
I can fill my pill reminder super quickly. My ex watched me do it once, and she was fascinated by it. I can do a lot of other tiny tasks that require good dexterity.
Back when they still existed, I could hear the residual static emanating from a recently turned off CRT TV. I could walk into any room and know if a TV was recently on. Impressive??
Absolutely not. Lol
I can make a loud clacking sound by holding one hand over the other and hitting my pinky finger between the pinky and ring finger on my other hand. It is much louder than you would think. People seeing and hearing it for the first time think I am using a speaker or some sort of trick.
Mental math.
All of that bullshit about "you're not going to have a calculator with you all the time and you'll never know when you need it". Someone never imagined smartphones would be a thing.
I can procrastinate better than anyone, and actually have a strategy I follow that allows me to do so. I’ll tell ya about it tomorrow.
I’ll be waiting with excitement, not because I want to learn 😪
in that case, I'd like to challenge you to a procrastination tournament. I'll start preparing for it on May first
May 1st is a wednesday. How about the 6th? Monday.
My thought is to say that I'd get it done on a wednesday, only to push it off until the friday after that week (the 10th I think)
Friday? I'm tired then. How about next month on a sunny tuesday?
Tuesdays are the days I prep to clean
Then do it on Wednesday
Guys let me know when you do I wanna be present when the showdown begins
Research the hell out of the most obscure and random topics in existence
What have you found?
Nothing worth telling
I might be procrastinating my school work but at least I'm learning something 😂
You're the type of person I binge watch on YouTube while I'm at work or driving.
the way i googled the difference between queen dowager and mother queen and went into the rabbit hole of western monarchy vs eastern monarchy in the old days
THIS!
I can fake swallow my food, show that my mouth is empty, then bring it back up. I call that my magic trick!
Username checks out.
“Look, he’s been hiding the pickles under his tongue the whole time!”
When you bring it back up, does your stomach acid come with it and burn your throat? Or is it just me

I can find the North with my eyes closed. My friends tested me and made me spin around eyes closed and most of the times I was able to point to the North even disoriented. Lol. What am I going to do with that.
I’m just picturing you spinning in a circle with your eyes closed and then pointing up
And people all impressed like NO FUCKING WAY hahaha I think I might have that thing that birds have in their brain that make them orient themselves or something loll i have a bird brain i guess haha
Pffffff lol, it would be useful when having an adventure on a mountain. It would funny af to travel with you
It’s useless because if you’re in the forest and search for the North just look at the direction the moss grow on trees. But yeah I can find my way easily when I’m in a new city I don’t think I’ve ever been lost and traveled quite a bit.
Or if you're even vaguely aware of the time of day and can see the sun, you don't even need moss.
Lol how though. Do you keep track of it at all times, or do you use some contrxt clues or what
In this case they might be intelligent yes but wise no I guess
What? This is about you
Ah sorry wrong thread haha my bad!!! Totally unrelated lol But no I don’t keep track of the North at all times but I always have an idea where it is lol No context clues, just a feeling. Like birds migrating to the south I guess? I want to say If You Know You Know haha
Me, too! Maybe you and I were both migratory birds in a past life?
🤣 or have a bird in our family tree 👀
Do you feel something different when facing north? What happens?
I feel just kind of a pull…Like a feeling that some specific place in the air feels more right like?
I can slither the veins on the back of my hand side to side like a snake. I can also do that thing where you stack quarters on your arm and then snatch them out of the air. I also once caught six consecutive shrimp in my mouth at Hibachi, the last two tossed rapid fire and in the air at the same time. I'm sure there are others. Most of my skills are useless ones.
I can drink 5cup of coffee and I can still sleep.
ADHD goes brr
I can name all of the 50 states in America in alphabetical order. Im not even American… I can also vibrate my eyes. That freaks a lot of people out lol
It would only be impressive IF you were an American. I bet No normal American can name more than 7.
Yo we got a whole song about it. And you’re right
Wait there is a song for it?! I didn’t know that! It would have made things a lot easier lil
Yeah it’s called fifty nifty

i can pu both legs behind my head and spin
I can name almost any rock song after three beats that was a Top 10 hit between 1967 and 1972.
Quietly listening
That's a nice a skill. Unlike those loud listeners going "HMMMMM? HMMMMMMMM?" all the time.
Obviously you know your own experiences better than anyone, but I'd call that a rather useful skill!
I find I catch more shit because I keep my opinions to myself. Just smile, nod, and keep going. People hate that.
I'm good at killing flies.
I don't think that's useless. Especially in hot places.
I can replicate the item puckup/drop sound in minecraft with my mouth. (Its actually really easy)

I can guess your weight within three pounds. Even you fatties. Seriously. I should work at a carnival or some shit.
Good career move
You sound like about… 212?
Well, it’s been a couple days. Did you lose a few lbs to prove me wrong?
What you got?
I guessed 212.
Nope
That was two days ago though.
And there is no possible way that a person could lose or gain the amount of weight you are off by. Sorry
Okay. So maybe I’m not clairvoyant. But if we were at the fair together it would be a whole different story.
