I'll go first:

I can tie my shoes really fast. You have no idea. It's like a magic trick.

If I've gone to a place once, I can get back there from memory, including most off roading and hikes

This is a good one. I was good at this for a while, but then I moved, and my skill level has declined.

I can wiggle my ears. It's a muscle(s) you can work on to improve your control of and it's strength.

I am great at giving backhanded compliments. Great post you have op. Too bad you fucked it up by having a lame party trick like tying your shoes.

My super power wins me lots of friends.

I have insane mind-muscle connection. I can independently flex muscles, for example, in my back that most people can only flex during chained movements involving many muscle groups.

can you flex the taint muscle that surrounds the tube which delivers sperm from balls during orgasm? if so you can have multiple orgasms. you're welcome

I know the balls make the sperm but is it also stored there? I feel like my balls are just as firm after a nut.

[ + ] Kozel

[ - ] Kozel 1 point 10 monthsAug 22, 2024 00:06:46 ago (+1/-0)

no the balls are where pee is stored

This is incorrect. Lol. I was thinking maybe something got stored in the prostate, I am not really sure what that little nugget does.

I know how to eat each item on my plate perfectly equally, so by the time I’m done with my food I have two or three perfect bites that are the exact same size on muh plate 😂

Oh! Maybe you have great spy qualities in that you lose ability to recall information under pressure. No amount of torture can break you.

I can do the "rocking chair" trick w/a Duncan"butterfly" yo-yo.

This took me an entire year to perfect.

[ - ] Fascinus 3 points 10 monthsAug 21, 2024 13:35:39 ago (+3/-0)

Is that the one where you create a triangle by taking up slack on the string with your fingers and then rock the yo-yo back and forth through it?

I used to be able to do that along with some others. I always had problems with them listing to one side once the spin started to decay though, so I had to pay close attention.

[ + ] xmasskull

[ - ] xmasskull 3 points 10 monthsAug 21, 2024 13:40:52 ago (+3/-0)

Yep,that one,however,I can only do this trick with a "butterfly" yo-yo,if you know what that is.

This particular model "yo-yo" has a wider gap between the (2) halves.

Damn,memory lane,Sorry.

Totally.

They were kind of a thing when I was in school. I had a few of each.

Might not be the worst idea to buy a couple and see if the kids take to them.

Like, airtight chambers?

"Airtight", with controlled air flow or exchange. Temperature, humidity, ionization, and gas ratios monitored and adjusted as necessary. It's been awhile, but would consider [ludicrous dollars] per hour again for an interesting project.

Ever done a walipini or a passive solar greenhouse? Guess theres not much use for those things in your neck of the woods.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 10 monthsAug 21, 2024 16:13:09 ago (+0/-0)

Greenhouses are at least a minor thing here. Raspberry growers in particular use high tunnels to increase and extend production. I haven't used a greenhouse myself. The problem with outdoor growing is the lack of control over all the variables.

Did you ever use wooden doors?

[ + ] Sector2

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 10 monthsAug 21, 2024 17:14:32 ago (+1/-0)

I did mostly use wooden doors, but painted and sealed around the edges with rubberized trim. Humidity was kept relatively low, so not an issue.

What's a good gas ratio?

1600 ppm is great as long as all the other factors are maxed.

I can pour liquids with astonishing accuracy.

Line a series of glasses up and I can free pour them to within a fraction of a milliliter.

A talent I no longer possess, though did at one time, was a finely-tuned circadian rhythm. As a teenager, I could tell you what time it was, within a minute, at any given time.
