I can

Bend my fingers back almost to the back of my hand, effortlessly
Raise/lower my eyebrows by a lot, even independently. I can make waving motions, as well!
Touch the tip of my nose or chin with my tongue
Wiggle my ears (though not independently)
Roll my eyes up so only the whites at the bottom are visible

I used to able to touch my fingers to the back of my hand in middle school, but 10 years later I can only bend them back a little less than 3/4

It was a neat party trick while it lasted, because everyone thought it hurt me to do it lol

People are often so worried I'm pushing back hard and damaging my joints. So I let them push a finger back softly, then they're shocked how easy it is, but no longer worried about my joints! 😁
