I can rotate one finger at one direction and the other on the opposite direction while pointing one to another, simultaneously. I don't know how uncommon it is but, back at high school, no one else in my class could do it. Totally unuseful skill.

I can fit the majority of my little finger up my nostrils. My nose might be slightly larger than normal and my hands are about normal. It just fits up there with a little twist.

I can make fart sounds with only my hands

I can trigger a few seconds vertigo attack when I lie down. If I do not think about it when going to bed, everything is fine. But if I think about it, then it invariably comes.

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 can move my fingertip joints without moving the rest of my finger.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I can snap with my toes the same way people snap their fingers, but only with the right foot for some reason.

I misread that, but I'm still curious

Sit in a cubicle for 8 hours a day.

The best way I can describe it is I can make the nerves on the back of my neck, upper back, and shoulders feel sensitive at will.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Wake up and go about my day.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I can cock both eyebrows one at a time

I can touch my palms flat to the ground while trying to touch my toes

I can hear the blood flowing in my head, including hearing my own pulse via the same sound.

I can bend the last joint in my fingers independently. I also have a small nub on the tip of my tongue, which is only useful in one situation.

I can spiral my tongue, so that the front part is fully upsidr down - but only to the left. I can't rotate it to the right at all for some reason, it's like the equivalent muscles are missing.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 6 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I can bring my hands from the back of my body to the front (and the opposite) while holding them together. There might be a use for this if I ever get tied up.

I can whistle with my lips just slightly open (like a ventriloquist).

I can make a really high pitched whistle like that and it confused the hell out of other people while they trying to find where the sound came from (high pitched sound is harder to pinpoint the location as it's bounce around the room).

But as I get older, I find it getting harder and harder to do so. 10 - 12 years ago I can whistle an entire song like that and it would sound crystal clear. Now it's really hard to follow a tune or make complex sounds.

Not a thing I can, but I once knew a person who could make their eyes go anti-crosseyed, as in left eye looking far left, right eye looking far right, away from their nose.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes when I open my mouth really wide, I somehow spray a little stream of saliva, like from a squirt gun. It makes me feel like the dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park, but so far I haven't been able to do it on purpose.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The gleek. Someone else mentioned it on here. I've known a few people who can do it on command.
