I’m strangely good at catching things intuitively (??).

Like, if my kid throws something at me, I can catch it without looking at it. Almost every time, it’s fun

I can stop a microwave on zero. Not 1. 0.

I can make a water droplet sound with my mouth. At first I had to flick my cheek to do it effectively, but nowadays I can do it sneakily without. Great head turner in waiting rooms 😅

Lockpicking. It sounds useful in theory, but being locked out of something you need (e.g. your house or some container you’re authorized at work) pretty much never happens, and even if you are in this kind of scenario, there’s no shot you’re carrying tools on you 24/7. Still a pretty fun hobby though.

I can read and write the standard galactic alphabet from commander keen

The only contests I ever won were an eating contest (6 large Pizzas) and one where I had to correctly identify 6 different brands of Cola in a blind test.
My other biggest strength is extreme long distance endurance. I’m not fast, but I can be “not slow” for 40 hours.

I know the frog mating calls for all species of frogs in my area and volunteer for the local DNR to survey frog populations in my county. It’s a good indicator of water quality.

I took a random amphibian research class as an elective, loved it, and still do it 20+ years later.

I can sit down and calmly read an entire manual from front to back.

I can almost always figure out that boardgame you played that you can’t remember the name of. Came in handy when I was the manager of a game store.

1. I can make exquisitely intricate paper snowflakes, and have them turn out exactly how I visualized them.
2. I can perfectly control the browning level and inside melted-ness level when I roast marshmallows. My favorite way to do them is: warm but unmelted center surrounded by ~¼" thick melted layer, evenly medium toasted outside, with just one top corner briefly ignited and immediately extinguished for just a hint of char flavor and a bien cuit aesthetic.

I’m not trained in dancing but have shown up in the background of music videos because of my skills. Nothing impressive, but still good enough to he on camera.

I can talk just like Hoggle in the Labyrinth, and I learned the trick on how to roll the balls around on my hand the way David Bowie does in the movie.

I’m a very large person (250lb/110kg, over 6’/1.8m) and I walk almost silently, unless I’m trying to be loud. I’ve learned to make some kind of noise when approaching people from behind, because otherwise it almost guarantees a jump scare

I can do a spot-on impression of the standard deep, booming monster-truck rally advertising voice.

“This FRIDAY! (Friday… Friday…) Only at the Gigantodome! Beer Swiller Productions presents MONSTER TRUCK MAYHEM! You’ll pay for the entire seat but you’ll only need the EDGGGGGGGGE!”

Well… of course you can’t hear it, but if you could, seriously, it’s dead-on.

I can read text in any orientation, even if mirrored, as easily as if it was right side up / not mirrored. Not sure why, and almost completely useless, but was surprised to discover that supposedly not everyone can do this?
