The lab equipment in television "science labs", no your fid detector didn't get the mass spectrum of that "unknown sample", past the question of how much information you'd hope to get from that test, why are you using a gc on organic samples? you want to be using an LC you maroon.

I can't watch murder porn for many reasons, this is the least of them, but I like to poke holes in my in-laws immersion when they watch it and I'm around.

I'm the kind of person that knows exactly how many stucco stalactites are on the ceiling of my bedroom.

You know when you are walking or doing stuff be it outside or indoors and you pay attention to that ceramic tile in the floor or the wall or you pay attention to that wooden veneer door or a tree or bit of paint or rust and you start noticing a pattern and you end up seeing a face?

Yeah that too

What's happening in the area, I.e. a view of the overall scenery. This vast perspective is different, and it's like looking at a live painting. When I'm on the move, such a observer perspective shrinks to few tens of meters, which kind of makes sense.

I don't think this is anything most people don't do however. I do remember places quite vividly though, and I practically never get lost. People however in the scenery, I forget in about a minute.

Head shape. Nose shape. I also pay attention to whether or not people have level collarbones, or collarbones that slope downward as they near the shoulders. I often notice what eye color people have. My eyes are grey, and not really a blue color. It’s really rare when I meet someone who has the same eye color as me.

When the light changes from green to yellow most of my community somehow fail to notice the change in color or from what lights it's being emitted, it's baffling to me. If the intersection isn't passable you don't enter when the light is yellow, sorry to delay your trip 1 whole minute, but the gridlock you cause delays everyone's trip, and causes more assholes like yourself to block the intersection at a yellow light, and cause more gridlock.

Not blocking intersections when at a stop on a street.

Where I'm from it's called "squeezing the lemon". Mash that pedal! Ha ha. The best bit is when you catch up with them stopped at the next set of lights.

The kerning between the number 1 and other numbers.

The effect of computer software on human culture, especially on cognitive development, crowd collaboration skills, methods of democracy, and economic systems. We had such a great start until ~1983: My answer to "Who invented the modern computer look and feel?" on Quora
