I can mimic sounds and voices almost perfectly after hearing them a couple of times. Although as a kid i mostly just did do that to troll people, it did prove useful exactly once when me and a bunch of people i was with were at a forest edge and were gonna get attacked by a troop of monkeys so I barked to scare them off (they often had dogs patrolling that area that the monkeys were afraid of) The monkeys ran away but it was equal parts funny and embarassing to have to explain to these people I barely knew what that even was since I had never told them that i could do that
I can speak Finnish.
Hyper-compartmentalization. Everything can be falling apart around me, high stakes, emergency, danger, but I just proceed calmly and steadily toward the goal. I am a rat in a maze, and each decision is just an ab node in a tree. I make best guesses and don’t shoulda woulda. If I can’t make it and everything is horrible, that was the outcome, I did the best I could with the knowledge/data given, or I put in what I felt was right, and if I’m wrong, oh well.
In a room full of power supplies i was the only one able to find which one was still powering something, because apparently out of the ~20 people that tried before me, i was the only one that could hear the transformer whine.
Also a general annoyance since i need to charge my phone in another room if i want to sleep without simulating tinnitus.
I can count almost perfect seconds. Most people think they can count seconds until they try to prove it.
Like, give me a stopwatch. I can count seconds to within an average of .05 of a second.
I can do this consistently over a long period of time, i gave up counting when i tested it.
It’s because i used to have 3 clocks in my living room, and they all used to tick at different times. I guess from when the battery was connected and it would create all these different rhythms.
After many years of hearing these rhythms and noticing the different rhythms that would be made as we changed the batteries over time, i ended up being able to tap the rhythm out on a table/in my head etc and now its just ingrained into my head.

Absolutely useless.

Same one as everyone else’s., seeing the future.
yawn
I thought it was really clever actually tyvm
It was a sarcastic yawn because you were one of the only one to list an actually cool power. I guess that wouldn’t be immediately clear, in retrospect.
I can hear CRT screens. They emit a high pitch noise that nobody else in my family can hear, I assume most people actually can hear it but never noticed it. My family used to think I was crazy or had tinnitus (jury’s still out on both) until they tested me by making me close my eyes and tell them if the TV was on while turning it off and on at random, with sound off. It was a weird test from my perspective, since I could hear it fine anyway. So far I haven’t noticed a decay due to age, but if it had little use when CRTs were widespread, it’s now completely useless.
I too have significantly more sensitive hearing than seemingly just most people, and can hear and often get annoyed by high pitched but low decibel sounds, very often caused by electronics, off balance high speed fans, etc.
Got gaslit about it by my family as well.
You may wanna look into an autism diagnosis, autists often have this kind of thing going on.
You’d think it would be called super hearing, but instead its often everyone without heigtened senses calling you delusional.
Same thing happened to me when I described seeing the entoptic blue field phenomenon to my family, but not knowing the fancy name for it because I was 11. Family got very concerned I was hallucinating, the reality is I am just more attentive to reality than they are.
So that has a name! Hahahaha There’s no way I can memorise that, I’ll keep call it “eeenergy” instead.
Good to know what it is in case someone wants a serious answer.
Try that with cheap mobile phone charges. They have an annoying coil whine.
… Wait. I assumed it was my extension cord keeping me up at night. I just learned to use it as white noise.
I swear my therapist says she sees no reason for me to be diagnosed as autistic
I can smell reposts and pictures I have already seen a mile away.
