Wtf lol, malfunctioning bot.
What did it say?
spamming some Instagram page with text that didn’t make sense.
I also like how the message was supposedly edited 3 minutes ago.
There is a tiny hole in the roof of my mouth that i can suck air through.
I can whistle while either exhaling or inhaling
Idk how special or weird it is but everyone I’ve tried to teach the skill to seems entirely incapable of doing the inhale one
It’s super useful for whistling complex songs or long bits without stopping, though
Hello. I, too, can do this!
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 wiggle my ears. I used to use it to entertain children, but today’s children are jaded and cynical.
I found I can wiggle my ears enough to walk my glasses back up my nose when they’ve slipped down.
I’ve just tried that and you’ve changed my life
now that’s useful!
Oh yeah, I didn’t even realise until you said it but I absolutely do that all the time
I can do it too! it was like discovering a new muscle! I can’t do either independently though
Child me would’ve loved to see that.
Adult me would love to see that
I have a few that some others in the thread have already mentioned, but I can also:
- wiggle most of my scalp back and forth
- retract the middle of the tip of my tongue so when I stick it out, it looks like an ass
- stop peeing mid-stream. Maybe this is perfectly common, but people talk about not being able to just stop, or at least not for longer than a few seconds.
Well, I can still do a cartwheel, it’s good for surprising children. Thumbs bend backwards.
I can also reach all of me, which my husband seems to think odd, can put sunscreen on my own back so I don’t think it’s useless.
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 used to able to touch my fingers to the back of my hand in middle school, but 10 years later I can only bend them back a little less than 3/4
It was a neat party trick while it lasted, because everyone thought it hurt me to do it lol
People are often so worried I’m pushing back hard and damaging my joints. So I let them push a finger back softly, then they’re shocked how easy it is, but no longer worried about my joints! 😁
Apparently there’s a thing called lucid dreaming that many people try very hard to achieve.
Most of my dreams are “lucid”.
I can also, using only my facial muscles, pull my eyelids back extra far so it looks like my eyeballs are popping out.
I have a hypothesis that there is no such thing as lucid dreaming (before you get the wrong idea, I’ve done it before. My meaning is that it’s misunderstood, not that people are lying about having done it).
That feeling that you’re in control? You’re just dreaming that you’re in control. You’re just dreaming that you have the experience of choice-movement-feedback.
How is the feeling of being in control any more real than other sensations you experience in a dream?
When you experience the sensation of enlightenment in a dream, do you say you were really enlightened, or were you just dreaming that you were enlightened?
When you experience the sensation of blue in a dream, do you say there was actually blue, or were you just dreaming there was blue?
Your brain telling you you’re in control is just as suspect as your brain telling you there’s blue. They are both creations of your brain for the purpose of the dream.
Whatever action you’re taking in an attempt to demonstrate control is just as easily explained as something your brain created as dream decoration.
Remember, this is just a hypothesis.
The question is, is there a practical difference between lucid dreaming and dreaming about being lucid? I like to think it’s the memory afterwards that counts.
cries in has chronically useless dreams that can’t even go in a dream journal
I can make fart sounds with only my hands
I can too with my hand and armpit ;)
I can inhale through my butthole to fart on command.
What are you, a turtle?
Heheheheh. Turdle.
If I press on the corners of my eye it forces air down my naso-lacrimal duct (that lets tears drain into our sinuses) and it makes a squeak loud enough for people sitting next to be to hear. I have a built in nose flute.
A nose flute, awesome! I have the opposite where I can blow air out the other way, but sometimes it will squirt out a stream of tears.
I can crack the knuckles of my big toes at will (only moving my toes, no hands involved).
Ditto.
Me too! But only the ones on my right foot.
I can whistle from my throat, I figured out how to do it from yawning and just kept practicing, the wife hates it because it hurts her ears but every time I yawn I have a habit of trying
I have this! For ages I’ve been trying to figure out how to do it on command but so far I can only do it while yawning.
Does it sound different than a normal lip whistle?
Yeah more airy or something I can’t really do it on command that well
Found a video that shows it, didn’t know it was a beat boxing thing now I have a goal haha https://youtu.be/_uQDmZmvvSY?feature=shared&t=120
I can make my left scapula pop/click by moving my scapulas closer together. I read on a medical website that it’s actually an ailment that can be remedied by surgery. I don’t really want surgery. I’m right handed, so it doesn’t affect me too much. Apparently, I’m the only one in my family with this issue and it’s supposedly a genetic issue.
