    I can pick things up with my toes. Not completely useless, maybe, but not exactly the pinnacle of tricks!

    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.

    My thumbs are double jointed, so I can move the middle parts 90° backwards.

    No one can beat me at simon, that four color memory game. I don’t remember what my high score was but I can easily get to level 60 before I start to struggle

      If I saw this in a Tinder bio, I would swipe right.

        I can push air out my ears, I would call it more of a crackle so maybe op is talking about something different. Never thought of is as something to be proud of though …

        I figured it out while trying to teach myself to wiggle my ears.

        They apparently want people for studies?

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
