Ask Lemmy

When baking, I take the right amount of butter with 1g of accuracy.

I can turn off my inner monologue at will. Complete silence but it limits the complexity of my thoughts.

I can drive 18 hours at a time only stopping for fuel and something to eat while driving.

Quite the opposite. I am so used to burn away my migraines, i can last in 60 degrees hot water for a (short) while.

I haven't shit my pants for like 30 years.

My ability to correctly and perfectly parallel park nearly 95% of the time is one of the skills I'm oddly the most proud of.

I once ate 6 pizzas in one sitting.

Sometimes, my sneezes smell like buttercups.

Sometimes I'll sneeze, and people will ask who is wearing perfume, or comment that someone's clothes smell like they were fresh out of the wash. What's actually happening is they're breathing my spores, and they love it.

I've never heard a single Tool song, and I'm a prog rock/metal fan.

Look at my profile and check my comment count. 😎

I could walk both ways up a hill both ways in the snow after dialysis treatment.

Past tense because I got a kidney transplant.

Which caused a very rare Cancer (1st condition to get it, you must've never gotten Epstein Barr virus, ever, which 90-95% of the world has. Second is getting a transplanted organ that carries the virus lol).

Which led me to weird flex #2: I have unusually high cold resistance and can also mentally raise my body temperature. This was helpful when having to walk to the patient hotel in a strong blizzard with nothing but hospital clothes.

Unfortunately that means I do terribly in the heat, and there's not much AC in Finland for the summer...

The funny thing is I grew up in El Salvador, and then Texas.

My landlord pays me to live in my apartment rather than the other way around.

I'm the leading goal scorer on my 40+ adult hockey league.

I can perform almost any activity in adidas slides, and have for the last 20 years of my life and have yet to twist my ankle. Hiking? No problem. Running? Totally cool!

That I got into the main reading room in the library of Congress.. most only go through the tourist area.

I've actively moderated the Zootopia subreddit almost since its inception. We did a lot of cool stuff but, uh, moderating a subreddit is not the kind of thing you brag about. Anyway, i quit this year.

Also i have every single r/place-related medal because i helped organize artworks. That's not any better is it?

As compulsion, I watch YT tutorials at breakneck speed: 2.5x-3x.

YouTube tutorials can be pretty low information density. Sentences have important pointers every 5 seconds or more ("The thing is, like, if you're trying to do this, or this, do X first" -- predictable/less functional words), and the first third of a YouTube video is often useless. Of course, denser videos get slowed to normal and have clips replayed.

Internally, this stems from nervousness of wasting time (oops), and it hurts my head if I do it too long ( but looks cool beforehand B) )

I have a very high pressure stream when I urinate. Downside is I really have to worry about splash back at a urinal, upside is I can do little side quests while I'm peeing, spot cleaning the toilet bowl.

In a conflict with most of my friends, I can't watch short form content and TikToks give me something akin to claustrophoby with an intense urgent want to stop watching it, I guess it's called sensory overload. On the opposite side, I enjoy old boring movies they can't stand watching on 1x. That makes me an old man wise of the ways of the past in many conversations, even if I'm younger than the person I talk to.

I can sleep through the night in the pose of the dead (on the back, hands and legs spread wide) without moving at all.

My linguistic capabilities let me create a text passing as an original one even when I copypaste and rewrite, that is suddenly a big problem for everyone else in the academia.

I almost never have to get up to pee during the night, because as long as I have some stored (in the balls, as we all know) I get the urge to go as soon as I start brushing my teeth.

I can go a very long time without pee’ing, even if I need to.

Years of undiagnosed, now diagnosed, ADHD has trained me to be able to do this.

I can kick a gym ball, the large air inflated things, at a wall and land standing on top of it.

I've starred in 1 local govt commercial, have my mustached face in an airport infomercial (around the 40-50s mark) and have some 3-5 seconds of screentime as an extra in 2 different brazilian movies.
