Useless skills that you have

[Short_Insomiac]

i can drink a capri sun in 9 seconds flat, no hands
I can eat any food (without a wrapper or smth) without a table or hands.
I can sprint really fast but it's for like .02 seconds and then I start w he e zi ng
I have extensive knowledge of the most useless of subjects. Want to know about American lesbians who served in 1960s? I gotchu. Want to know about how the leader of Jordan treats terrorists? I gotchu. Want to know about America's dealing in international affairs? haha nope

when i worked at culvers i was the only one who figured out how to make sundaes without the hot fudge/caramel sloughing down to the sides and dragging the rest of the toppings with it

(you have to put the solid toppings on first and push them in a little, then add the hot topping, itll stick to the nuts/candy instead of falling to the sides, then add a couple more of the hard toppings on top so it looks pretty)

also because i work at a grocery store and have to get carts from the parking lot ive gotten pretty good at judging whether or not a moving car is gonna hit me if i keep walking. im no longer scared of traffic because of this hell job.

- I can make fart sounds with my palms
- I can move my nostrills
- I can fit my tiny flexible palm into a Pringles can

• I can retract the middle muscle of my tongue causing the two sides of the tip to form what looks like a sorta split snake tongue.
• I dunno if people around me are just shitty at this or if I'm exceptionally good at it but when it's time to google a thing I often end up having to do it because everyone around me keeps getting themselves stuck down rabbit holes of what I instantly spot as useless articles that won't answer the bloody question at hand. It gets even more frustrating when someone else in the group starts shouting and tries to talk over me to tell me all about an article that I already skimmed through and made a note both to myself and everyone else that it won't be of any use and isn't worth reading further into. And then they wont believe me when i say it's useless until they find out on their own, after READING THE ENTIRE ARTICLE ALOUD. Just cus they had to try so hard to one-up me. Guess it's not so much a skill as a curse. Which is why it's useless. If I sucked more at it I would be far less frustrated.
• I sometimes have dreams that tell the future but they are hard to distinguish from other mundane dreams so I mostly forget them until I find myself in that precise situation. I have been able to change turns of events using these dreams before, but they never make predictions of anything important so they are useless.

I can do a headstand for a seemingly unlimited amount of time. Honestly, I've never tried to see how long I can go before passing out, but I never even wobble or come close to falling. Even getting older and putting on weight hasn't weakened how easy it is for me.

[elyss]

I can dilate my pupils on command
I can lose pretty much anything in about 5 secs
I can forget pretty much anything in about 5 secs

The last two might have something to do with one another...

[LT1986]

I can easily stay home for days, if I'm on vacation.
I can work a whole 8 hours shift sometimes without having to talk to anyone, if my maintenance tasks are in isolated areas for the day.
I also just recently learned how to complete muscle-ups and pistol squats.

-Speak in a Nigerian accent but only in a high-pitched muppet voice and not in any other kind of voice

Oh really? Where did you learn to speak in a Nigerian accent?

[jurinova]

I have anxiety superpowers! Basically I'm just hyper aware of my surrounding and constanty aware of changes happening around me. I also memorize routes and exits without realizing, so I am pretty good at finding my way back.

I also have cat finding powers! Is there a cat nearby? If there is, I will see it! I can also hear cats from a fair distance away and my cats realized this back when I was still living with my family. They could summon me from the other side of the house (and our house was big) and would do so often. I could also tell them apart from their voice, including other neighbourhood cats.

[Mari]

I can do a few owl calls with my hands.

I also have like this superpower where I look at people and I can instantly say they look like somebody and nobody else ever sees it until I explain some minute detail about them

[Twinvizions]

I can find something that someone else lost, but I can't find something that I lost.

Also, my twin power is that when my twin is stressed, I can't sleep.

[DokiDokiTsuna]

Oh really? Where did you learn to speak in a Nigerian accent?

From my parents... ^^;

I used to think I couldn't do it at all, which was a bit shameful for me (most 2nd gen kids I've met pick it up naturally; I guess we were too 'Americanized'). But for years, I had this little hand-puppet character called 'Mr. Ducky' that I'd use to do jokes and stories with my siblings, and he spoke in this ridiculous little voice that I never knew where I got the idea for...until I grew up and realized what his accent had been all along.

• I can make fart sounds with my palms

me too!, my brother taught me

I sometimes have dreams that tell the future but they are hard to distinguish from other mundane dreams so I mostly forget them until I find myself in that precise situation.

this happened to me a lot too. But haven`t been able to change the future yet.

I forgot to mention another thing I can do with my tongue lol.
You know the hole where the nasal cavity connects with the mouth, at the back of your throat?
I can touch it with my tongue.
Dunno if anyone else here can but I've been told I'm not supposed to be able to do that lol

EDIT: PROBABLY SHOULDNT TRY THIS AT HOME UNLESS YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU CAN DO IT LOL because the reason I've been told I'm not supposed to be able to do it is that, while any tongue TECHNICALLY can touch that part of the mouth, it usually only does when the individual is passed out and the tongue drops back into their throat. You can actually choke yourself with your own tongue.

[kaikeagan]

I collect spiders to later throw at people I dislike.

[Reign]

Let’s see:

I forget a lot. Not sure if that’s a skill, though.

[vfinnigan]

About that eating and not gaining weight thing, medically that can be a bad thing, like maybe you're not digesting food properly or absorbing enough nutrients. Has a doctor looked at you for that?

[vfinnigan]

I'm a general trivia wiz. It's useless insofar as I don't do well under pressure and I'm prone to brain fog, so I'd be useless on a game show. But when I'm relaxed, I can be an insufferable know-it-all full of facts nobody but I find interesting.

[minerrale]

My nose bro, finally I'm not alone!

Also can fit my fist in my mouth
Can tell at a single glance if a person has been through a hard time (trauma, mental illnesses of all kinds)
I can tell in around 5 minutes of conversation if the person in front of me is going to be harmful
I can disappear (I'm really small and fit into most boxes, corners, behind things...)
I can talk with a very manly voice (is very obviously a woman)
