        I can also do it with my right hand, but i did it with my left first cause there is this german phrase “doing something with left” which means something is so easy for you, you don’t even need your dominant hand for it.

      I wouldn’t call that useless. That is how you get to be the executive lead cloud DevOps engineer.

    I can speedwalk very fast and with good stability. It comes on handy when I need to move fast with a glass of liquid, which doesn’t come up a lot.

      Were you ever in marching band? I got relatively good at that after putting my all into marching band in high school.

    I am better at helping others flesh out ideas and expanding on them than I am making up my own ideas. I’m good at troubleshooting problems better than most I’ve ever met. I owe both to PC troubleshooting over the last few decades (from Apple 2e and Pentium II to present). I find that people these days have tunnel vision and focus on short-term gains over long-term payoffs, often to the detriment of future productivity.

      “I am better at helping others flesh out ideas and expanding on them than I am making up my own ideas.”

      I think this makes you a “force multiplier”.

      “a force multiplier is a factor or a combination of factors that gives folks the ability to accomplish greater feats than without it.”

    I won’t say “mastered” as I have lost the ability now, but back in college Pokemon endgame content gave me the ability to read braille by looking at it.

    That’s about as useless as possible.

    I can solve a 3x3 rubix cube in under 60 seconds.

    Just practice and memorization, it’s not that hard.

      Back when I was 15 or so I spent a summer solving one, no guides or resources used. Took me about 3 months and it would take me about 10-20 minutes to solve after I figured it out. I was always proud of that haha

    Alternating between American and British spellings like it’s nothing. I just use whatever spelling I vibe with at the time. I’ll do the same with units of measurement as well.

    I can jump up a small flight of stairs (3-4 stairs) in a way that makes it look like I just floated up the stairs.

    I got good at it because in high school I thought it would be funny to be able to do this so I started practicing.

    I wouldn’t say I’ve mastered it but with my current set up I am as good as I can get with macrophotography.

    Whistling. Took decades and I can do it two different ways (lips and teeth). I now do it subconsciously when listening to music where I’ll typically add other melodies or harmonies. I can bird call pretty much flawlessly. Loudest I get is over 100dB. Average is low 90s. Not much use but it’s fun.

    I can make double fart sounds by laying on my back and cupping my knee-armpits with both hands.

    Not entirely useless though; I showed this to my SO 7 years ago when we started dating and she was clearly impressed as she’s still hanging around.
