My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).
there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that’s how he found out he has only one functioning eye)
Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself
I can make the Vulcan “live long and prosper” sign, but only with my left hand.
If I hold my pee for too long, I struggle to start peeing. It’ll weakly dribble but some will come out, then about 5 minutes later I can piss normally. It’s bullshit.
Guessing you’re a male? Similar issue here too. Gets worse as you get older I’ve found.
Came on pretty suddenly when I had my appendix out around 20. They put a catheter in for the surgery and there was a little mishap that required some repair. Everything works fine unless there’s too much backpressure. Hasn’t changed much in the past 18 years.
I too get the hot ears. I always worry it’s a tell in poker.
so its visible to other ppl too for u. Can other ppl feel ur ear being hot? Do you have dust allergies or allergies in general?
I don’t know how visible it is, and how much people are paying attention, but they do get red and I feel hot in just my ears. Too many allergies to count. Idk if it’s allergy related or something up with my sinuses.
My ears have a little muscle in them that acts like an eject button for hard earbuds ( like apple)
Synesthesia. I can see sound. Really neat, actually.
Not so neat is my aparent genetic resistance to pain meds and anesthetics. Caused some “fun” in a hospital stay
Same here on the resistance to pain meds. I had a such a terrible experience with surgery. Once I woke up I was in such agony but I was also tripping hard from the dilaudid and left over anesthesia that I was unable to communicate effectively. Once a doctor finally listened to me many hours later, they gave me a cocktail of other stuff that finally eased the pain. I also really struggle with dental work.

Are you a redhead? Apparently that’s a fairly common trait for them
Does red hair run in your family by any chance? People with red hair in their family (myself included, I have auburn-ish hair) need 20% more anesthetics.
yup. See my other reply
(Irish ancestry here: Letting them know that you’ve got redheaded relatives is the secret cheatcode to let you stay unconscious during surgery. There’s a whole protocol about it.)
yup. My dad is irish. And although I’m not a redhead, I later learned that I have the gene and it’s one of the factors in this problem.
Too bad I only learned about this fact after I woke up a couple times during surgery and later when they put me into an induced coma and I pulled out my tubes.
TIL that painkillers don’t work on redheads.
I also have a super high alcohol tolerance (and I rarely drink), which I think is also an effect of it.
Weed only has an effect for me if I use a lot of it
OMG. I had a terrible dental experience because of this.
Wow, I did not know that. Thanks a bunch.
How does “fuck you” look like ?
I need this info too
funnily enough, as soon as my brain can parse it as language, my synesthesia doesn’t trigger anymore. It really is just for sounds and music.
If I listen to a language that I can’t understand, my synesthesia triggers. It’s a fun example of how the brain processes the information
if told “fuck you” in say, Norwegian, what does it look like? (if you speak Norwegian, then substitute it for something you don’t speak :P)
also, does “fuck you” look the same in all unknown languages?
It really depends on the sound, not the actual content.
It’s quite hard to describe, but for me sounds have a certain color and shape. “Visible” in the location they are coming from.
I also don’t quite see it as the real world around me, more of an “inner eye” overlay.
The color and shape (and often texture) depends on the instrument and tone. There’s an older 360° video on youtube that comes somewhat close to what I experience
That’s really cool
Unless you have tinnitus, then it’s probably hell
Same. I inform doctors that I am resistant to sedation. They nod, not believing me. I go under. I wake up 4 hours early, everyone goes insane. One time they failed to put me out right away. Fortunately they managed to put me out before they cut into me. My last memories before waking are hearing “oh shit, he’s awake”. Another time they used “an adult dose and a child dose” which… doesn’t sound right. But I remember waking with a half dozen people trying to rouse me.
when the surgery team came visiting me afterwards, the anesthesiologist said they used “the elephant’s dose”
Aphantasia here. Can’t see or remember shit. It sucks.
Only benefits are speed reading and a boost to abstract/scientific thinking. But episodic memories and visualisation sound more fun.
Also resistant to everything. Connective tissue disorder? (EDS)?
Aphantasia here too, do you have an inner monologue? I don’t, to the dismay of every therapist and partner I’ve ever had.
“What are you thinking?”
“There are not words for this.”
Nope just multiple streams of unsymbolic thinking usually. When thinking of something specific or planning how to say something I’ll consciously subvocalise, but there’s no volume/pitch/tone. Having your subconscious talk to you all day sounds exhausting.
I can relate. Here’s something you can see though.
When I eat a few dill pickles, my scalp tingles. It’s mostly a pleasant sensation.
I sneeze when the temperature changes significantly. I have no idea why.
- I have a forked tongue
- I once hammered the back of my sinuses hard enough to draw blood
- I can make my shoulder blade pop out
- I can keep my eyes open for 5-10 minutes
the fourth one, both my sisters can do that? makes me squeamish
Hammered the back of your sinuses? Come again

I do this a lot with nails, icepicks, and power drills
Oh, yikes!
I feel like this trick lost its magic ever since covid tests taught everyone that nose holes basically go straight into the face instead of up
It’s not a magic trick though, it’s a sideshow trick. The difference between the two is that sideshow doesn’t need smoke and mirrors, wysiwyg. It still requires practice and training to reliably execute, not to mention performing is its own skill as well.
As far as sideshow goes, it’s one of the less risky stunts, so you’re very welcome to jam a chopstick up there if you want to try it :)
I noticed that for some reason, when I pee I feel the tip of my toes getting hotter
I have no idea what causes it
Stop peeing on your toes
thanks! so that’s what causes it
I think it’s pretty wild that the body will just accept exogenous cross-sex hormones and start using them without issue.
Some microphones can’t pick up my voice.
We need more information here because that doesn’t seem possible. Is it something like your voice is so deep that cheap microphones don’t capture it or what?
I assume you dont mean poor quality ones. is your voice really deep or really high pitched to you or other ppl around you
They’ve already responded to both of you, you just can’t see it. Now you see the problem.
Yeah, my instance been having problems for a while now, it used to be that blocked communities always show up but but know 10 tens of comments dont show up
I think it was a joke 🙂
I can think myself into immediately stopping hiccups.
I can also puke on demand.
I can burp on command tho i think that ones command
You could make a killing in the Japanese porn industry
I…I could? Humans are weird and wonderful creatures.
I have very curvy hair, like screws, on very specific parts of my body. One on each side, a bit above and right in front of my ears, beard curls below the edges of my mouth, chest hair curls between my nipples and two public hair curls right at the base of my shaft. Partners have found this very funny and fun to play with.
If I leave my stomach empty for too long, I can feel (and hear!) gas bubbles (?) coming up in my throat lining.
I can dislocate my joints at will. Thing with Ehlers-Danlos but it’s a nice party trick
