Mildly more heat resistant. I can pick up hot food out of a fryer basket with my bare hands or stay in the cold a bit longer without getting frostbite.
I can turn ducks around… but only when they are in the water
I can raise my middle toe like I’m flicking you off
Back in university, I studied basically all day long, which was tiresome after long sessions of study, even if with friends. My great superpower is that it used to just take me ~10 seconds of resting with my eyes closed to feel a huuuuge boost of energy that lasted for 1-2 hours. After that boost expired, I just did it again.
Incredibly useful.
I have abnormally good colour vision.
I have no idea what to do with this.
Found out when studying photography. We did some colour tests that get gradually harder. You are supposed to fail at some point. I kept on passing all of them. My “regular” vision is just normal though.
That one again?
I can tell when someone is about to run a red light.
I can plug in a USB drive/cable on the first time, successfully, without flipflopping the connector (and then USB C had to come along and invalidate my only worthwhile achievement)
Remote viewing, time travel, superhealing and others
as a child I had impeccable vision and could easily see the shapes of leaves on tree tops from 1/4 mile. I have some kind of degenerative eye disease and have had glasses since I was about 13.
before covid I could smell things days after they happened. I avoided elevators like a plague. now all I smell is smoke! since I can’t smell shit, my taste has also dulled greatly.
I can hear a wasp flying on the other end of my house, about 50 feet away, while the TV is on. I would say it’s a fluke if I’ve done it once or twice. I’ve done it about 3-5 times a year since 2020. they are the loudest just as they’re taking off from a surface or landing. the buzz they make is unmistakable.
I can also hear the frequency changes of electronic components, hear a house fire from a mile away, and have used it to identify broken PC and car parts.
I have extremely sensitive hearing. I can tell when there’s an animal scarer nearby.
This brings me to Microsoft Teams. You might have seen people mention that their dogs know when someone joins the call before they do. That’s because they introduced “ultrasonic howling” to detect if they’re in the same room as you, and mutes their mic.
It hurts like fucking hell with headphones on.
Predicting psychopathic behavior certainly isn’t it based on my 401k
I have a blurry photographic memory.
What I mean is that I can remember where/what an item looks like but can’t read it. This was especially lame and stressful in nursing school because during a test I could recall exactly where in the textbook or PowerPoint slide the answer was, but couldn’t “read” it from said memory. Stuff like “it was in the yellow shaded an the lower inner quarter of the page, second and third billet points” or “halfway down the page, highlighted in pink, and next to it was a graphic of the Krebs cycle” Not as helpful as you might think.
I can blur my vision on command, kinda useless but a bit of fun to play with.
I also have a lazy eye, so I can scare unsuspecting people, sometimes two at a time if they’re positioned right.
I can level paintings by hand, and usually on the first try. I still always double check with a level
