I haven’t flown a plane in years.
Sex.
I use it once every fifteen years.
I’m top notch at oral and love to do it, but I married a woman who doesn’t like it ten years ago. So much waste.
At first I was stunned, but then I realized I’ve had my dick sucked so much I don’t care for it as much as actually fucking. I did not know that about myself.
Congrats
I am reasonably acrobatic. I only get to use it when people are drunk and get the sudden urge to watch someone do a backflip.
Balloon animals.
Make me a bicycle, clown!
I’m a really good driver. Like rules of the road and all that, sure, but I also have some training in rally cars, am decent on a race track, and am generally a top 5 finisher in whatever Sim race I enter.
Wish I could afford to enter an IRL series.
I can vomit on command at most times without sticking a finger down my throat etc. I feel like that scientifically inaccurate dinosaur from the original Jurassic Park.
I know kung fu (wing chun). I am however years out of practice, and also glad its not something i use very often.
I have hyperphantasia, which means that I’m able to visualize things in my mind in a way that it looks exactly the same as it would in real life. If I see a puzzle that requires spatial reasoning, I can rotate it and manipulate it in 3D space in my mind.
I use this for CAD! It’s actually kind of frustrating because I often find my brain uses techniques that I can’t replicate using the controls on cad software.
I can hear high frequencies that supposedly only kids and teens still can. The most recent time it was ‘useful’ was (spoilers) a magic show in Vegas a few years ago.
Otherwise my hearing is terrible.
Do you hear bats?
No, I have a pretty normal human range, just for a younger human than I am.
(if it’s super loud I could reach 22khz, but that was a few years ago that I checked it)
What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
I am able to recite toy commercials and obscure TV theme songs from 90s kids shows with surprising accuracy, many decades past consuming them - Crossfire, Creepy Crawlers, James Bond Jr. Denver the Last Dinosaur… I’m your guy. I don’t watch these things deliberately to learn them and haven’t seen them since organically seeing during childhood, they just start playing in my head on the smallest triggers, music and lyrics, verbatim.
This is what the inside of my head is like, all the time
Resolving IRQ conflicts on ISA devices
Somewhat relatedly, I still have the MSDN Windows 2000 license key memorized.
Needless to say, I have not had to install Windows 2000 on anything for quite some time.
NT4.0 key here
- marshmallow roasting (I can perfectly control the level of browning on the outside and melted-ness on the inside)
- paper snowflake making (I can make them very intricate and come out exactly how I visualize them)
pretty shit at everything else though. I fat-fingered my skill points allocation hard.
I remember about 80% you tell me about you (if I’m listening) I won’t tell you what I know about you in order to not creep you out.
walking into a room and forgetting why I entered
I use that skill every single day
I’m very good at remembering people’s birthdays. I stopped “using” it cause I think it creeps people out a bit, but at least with people I like it’s always nice to remember to congratulate them without relying on social media.
I’m shit with names though.
Have you had a situation where you remembered someones birthday only to twists their neme?
Huh?
