My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).
there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that’s how he found out he has only one functioning eye)
Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

I noticed that for some reason, when I pee I feel the tip of my toes getting hotter
I have no idea what causes it
Stop peeing on your toes
thanks! so that’s what causes it
Same, but more intense. It can affect the whole of the bottom of my feet sometimes, and I’ve never been able to consistently replicate it so I’ve no idea what triggers it either.
I can dislocate my joints at will. Thing with Ehlers-Danlos but it’s a nice party trick
If I hold my pee for too long, I struggle to start peeing. It’ll weakly dribble but some will come out, then about 5 minutes later I can piss normally. It’s bullshit.
Guessing you’re a male? Similar issue here too. Gets worse as you get older I’ve found.
Came on pretty suddenly when I had my appendix out around 20. They put a catheter in for the surgery and there was a little mishap that required some repair. Everything works fine unless there’s too much backpressure. Hasn’t changed much in the past 18 years.
I’m not your twin am I? I had mine out right before 20…
I can pop my ankles almost non stop since around 2 years ago for some reason (no pain or anything), lol
I can do that too. Bonus since I sprained one at 16, I’ll just be randomly walking along when something in my ankle makes an audible pop and dislocates for just long enough for me to stumble and take another step.
I had a wrist sprain a few years back and got an X-ray. They told me my ulna was about a millimeter longer than it probably should be. I’m wondering if that’s the case for most of my joints and that’s why I creak like gammy’s favorite rocking chair
Ugh ouch
I dont know if I sprained mine, I remember picking up running for a few weeks (cuz I thought doing only weights wasnt the best idea) and I remember my ankles feeling sore after running. I expected it to be normal though, cuz I don’t tend to run a lot (though I walk a lot). 🤷
Haven’t done an xray yet, might do one day
I can do it, but only with my left ankle! It’s almost like I’m sliding the tendon across the bone? making a really loud “popping” sound, over and over. I’ve been able to do it for as long as I can remember and it’s never hurt. Never met anyone else who could do it!
I can do this as well. Every single girlfriend I have had in my life absolutely hated it. I don’t even notice myself doing it sometimes.
It’s kinda “addictive”, so hard to resist the urge. Hopefully it has no negative health effects (there was that study about one who popped their knukles and found out it wasnt damaging, hopefully they are correct)
I have also read that exact same study lol. If it turns out it’s deadly I guess I’ll see you in the afterlife soon haha
I have a rare condition called EBS (sometimes called butterfly skin). I am lucky enough to have a non life threatening form so it is usually only a problem when I walk/exercise in above 20°C temperatures. And I usually get benefits (I rarely have to queue for things)
How does it help with queueing? Like people will universally allow you to go upfront?
Most businesses give me a pass to let me skip queueing if I give them enough notice
Probably can skip queues, as a way to accommodate those with medical conditions.
I have super crooked pinkies, can perpetually pop my ankle, and can retract my testicles back in my body?? Idk if other people can do that last one but all my buds in hs promised they couldn’t
I can also slide my balls up inside, sometimes it happens by itself too. Can feel them under my pubes
That also happened to me a lot when I was little, usually in cold water.
- I have a forked tongue
- I once hammered the back of my sinuses hard enough to draw blood
- I can make my shoulder blade pop out
- I can keep my eyes open for 5-10 minutes
Hammered the back of your sinuses? Come again
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_blockhead
I do this a lot with nails, icepicks, and power drills
I feel like this trick lost its magic ever since covid tests taught everyone that nose holes basically go straight into the face instead of up
It’s not a magic trick though, it’s a sideshow trick. The difference between the two is that sideshow doesn’t need smoke and mirrors, wysiwyg. It still requires practice and training to reliably execute, not to mention performing is its own skill as well.
As far as sideshow goes, it’s one of the less risky stunts, so you’re very welcome to jam a chopstick up there if you want to try it :)
Oh, yikes!
the fourth one, both my sisters can do that? makes me squeamish
I can pop my clavical by pushing my shoulder toward my back with my opposite hand.
I can inhale through my ass to fart on command.
My thumbs can bend backwards without assistance from the other hand.
I can inhale smoke from a cigarette or pipe or something, and blow it out of my ears (it hurts though; I don’t like doing it).
I can kinda wiggle my ears.
I can put my own dick in my own butt, but just the tip.
I can tell when there are electronics turned on around me even if they aren’t intended to make noise, because they all seem to give off this kind of almost imperceptible high pitch whine. Not enough to be bothersome, but just enough to know something probably has current running through it.

Same here. But that’s basically just good hearing.
I could do that with CRT TVs. Back when we had one, I could always tell when someone was watching TV. No matter where I was in the house.
It’s quite normal for kids and teenagers.
Starting in the 20s, your hearing of higher frequencies will degrade and you won’t be able to hear CRTs anymore.
When I was 30 I visited someone who had a CRT for gaming, and a 19 year old friend complained about the pitch I couldn’t hear. That was the moment I felt old for the first time
As a child I was told by my parents that using headphones (circum aural) would destroy my hearing. They preferred me using earphones (in ear) instead.
I kept using headphones.I’m way past the teens and can still hear the tubelights (the new ones, only from very close, when other things are silent) and the old flat screen CRT. Also, the whine from the UPS at the previous workplace, which most other couldn’t hear, but for me, was pretty loud.
The difference was that my headphone volume tended to be at 10 - 20% while other people went out to dance parties with continuous loud music (I didn’t).
Does your UPS not have a fan in it? Mines pretty quiet, but anyone who’s not deaf can hear it.
By UPS at work, I meant one that takes up half a server room filled with transformer and battery units. The fans are not loud enough to be heard outside the room. But the high pitched sound (possibly coil whine) could be heard 2 rooms over.
Makes sense. Haven’t had a CRT since my teens. Now that I’m in my 30s I want to try it out.
So you didn’t had TV growing up?
Oh we did. Upgraded to the hot commodity at the time, a 60 inch LCD.
Ah, sorry, I read that to mean that you’ve never had a CRT TV so it didn’t make sense to me. But now re-reading that I have absolutely no idea how I understood what I understood, that’s what happens when you ask stuff online before coffee I guess.
I’m over 40 and can still hear CRTs.
Seasonic PC power supplies are good quality, but man, they have some serious coil whine.
My sisters can do 1 and 3, and like i said in my other comment, it makes my skin crawl
This person and your sister should look into EDS, its one of the main symptoms.
I didn’t know women could have Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes
I kinda want a video
I can tell when there are electronics turned on around me even if they aren’t intended to make noise, because they all seem to give off this kind of almost imperceptible high pitch whine.
I can also hear the noise that some batteries make when they get charged.
Yeah, the electronic device sound is coil whine, mostly produced by power transformers, but a few other things too. Some do it loudly enough or low pitch enough for everyone to hear, others are quiet enough or high pitch enough that only people like us can hear them.
Some microphones can’t pick up my voice.
We need more information here because that doesn’t seem possible. Is it something like your voice is so deep that cheap microphones don’t capture it or what?
I assume you dont mean poor quality ones. is your voice really deep or really high pitched to you or other ppl around you
They’ve already responded to both of you, you just can’t see it. Now you see the problem.
Yeah, my instance been having problems for a while now, it used to be that blocked communities always show up but know 10 tens of comments dont show up
I think it was a joke 🙂
I can fold my ears in on themselves and they will stay that way until I smile.
Basically my ears are just super soft because I was always playing with them as a kid so the cartridge never really hardened up like it did for most other people.
As I have gotten older and played with my ears less they don’t stay folded as long but I can still do it.
When laying in dark, any smallest sound makes a bright flash appear in my eyes, before I realize there was a sound. So I am always surprised when it happens, and fraction of a second later I realize there was a sound. So it’s Synesthesia, but from Wish.
Ha! This happens to me as well! I do have a funny slight extra detail though. I can’t really visualise images in my minds eye (almost aphantasia), but when I’m closing my eyes to go to sleep, and a sudden noise happens, I see a flash of white like you, but also usually some random af detailed image flash in my minds eye. It’s so weird, always different, always amusing, and the closest I get to visualising. It could be anything, like a old woman in a cowboy hat riding a horse or whatever. Also, I have slight grapheme-colour synesthesia, so it’s interesting that you called it wish synesthesia! I wonder if it plays some role!

Absolutely all sounds, but it has to be unexpected!
I can pop, or reverse pop my ears at will. Where most people talk about chewing gum to pop their ears on a plane I can push out and suck them in to change the pressure at will. It’s useful to help regulate how much noise gets in (in a small way) too.
Hey me too
Same, there is a muscle in there that most people can’t voluntarily control.
But we can!Also, I’ve never heard anyone else mention the part about “reversing” their ears! Seems I’m not the only one!
Same. It’s a very useful trick for scuba diving.
What do you mean by pop ? Ro you hear a champagne bottlw “pop !” instead of the regular crackling noise ?
it’s like when go from a high down, your ears pop
Oh, ok
I can pop outwards by closing my mouth and nose and then putting pressure on my mouth walls with the air.
Reverse, I can manage only down to equal pressure, by simply drinking back my saliva.I can do this too!
I can hear the muscles in my eyes when I look from side to side.
This happened to me when I took antidepressants for the first time, as well as being incredibly sensitive to sound, to the point where I could hear electricity.
Not being hyperbolic at all. To test this my partner and I tested a bunch of devices, she flicked either a dummy-switch, or one powering an appliance, and with my back turned, I could tell her if it was on, off, or she hit a dummy switch.
Ultimately I couldn’t stand being on antidepressants, I felt like my IQ dropped 10 points.
I always thought hearing electricity is normal, up until I realized most people can’t do that. Never been on antidepressants or anything, that’s my normal state of consciousness.
Surprise surprise, I’m extremely sensitive to all kinds of noise.
I can hear the 60hz hum in the US but the 50hz EU grid is silent to me.
Every time I’ve gotten a hearing test I get praise from the ear person.
“Your hearing is exceptional!!”
I know it is. Do you have any idea how often I change out the charging blocks in my room?
Yeah same problem. Worst were CRT monitors or old tube-TVs, they made a constant sound quite like a tinnitus.
And all that, for what? So that we can hear someone from like 1 foot further away? Perhaps in the apocalypse we’ll be like dowsers for electricity?
Hearing: a little bit of super. No power.
Being dumb does seem to be the key to happiness
Some appliances are louder than others. Curious to hear what appliances you can hear
I’m able to hear the AC hum from motors and any inductive heating elements.
When it’s completely silent in the room, I can hear the transformer in my phone charger make a variable squealing sound
I don’t mean the hum of any moving parts, I mean the stand-by electricity flowing through them.
Phone charger, kettle, laptop, TV, stove, fan (without the fan actually moving).
She turned on a vacuum
Synesthesia. I can see sound. Really neat, actually.
Not so neat is my aparent genetic resistance to pain meds and anesthetics. Caused some “fun” in a hospital stay
Does red hair run in your family by any chance? People with red hair in their family (myself included, I have auburn-ish hair) need 20% more anesthetics.
yup. See my other reply
(Irish ancestry here: Letting them know that you’ve got redheaded relatives is the secret cheatcode to let you stay unconscious during surgery. There’s a whole protocol about it.)
yup. My dad is irish. And although I’m not a redhead, I later learned that I have the gene and it’s one of the factors in this problem.
Too bad I only learned about this fact after I woke up a couple times during surgery and later when they put me into an induced coma and I pulled out my tubes.
TIL that painkillers don’t work on redheads.
I also have a super high alcohol tolerance (and I rarely drink), which I think is also an effect of it.
Weed only has an effect for me if I use a lot of it
OMG. I had a terrible dental experience because of this.
Wow, I did not know that. Thanks a bunch.
How does “fuck you” look like ?
I need this info too
me either!
funnily enough, as soon as my brain can parse it as language, my synesthesia doesn’t trigger anymore. It really is just for sounds and music.
If I listen to a language that I can’t understand, my synesthesia triggers. It’s a fun example of how the brain processes the information
if told “fuck you” in say, Norwegian, what does it look like? (if you speak Norwegian, then substitute it for something you don’t speak :P)
also, does “fuck you” look the same in all unknown languages?
It really depends on the sound, not the actual content.
It’s quite hard to describe, but for me sounds have a certain color and shape. “Visible” in the location they are coming from.
I also don’t quite see it as the real world around me, more of an “inner eye” overlay.
The color and shape (and often texture) depends on the instrument and tone. There’s an older 360° video on youtube that comes somewhat close to what I experience
That’s really cool
Unless you have tinnitus, then it’s probably hell
Not so neat is my aparent genetic resistance to pain meds and anesthetics. Caused some “fun” in a hospital stay
Are you a redhead? Apparently that’s a fairly common trait for them
Not quite. See my other replies
What’s the coolest-looking sound?
Same. I inform doctors that I am resistant to sedation. They nod, not believing me. I go under. I wake up 4 hours early, everyone goes insane. One time they failed to put me out right away. Fortunately they managed to put me out before they cut into me. My last memories before waking are hearing “oh shit, he’s awake”. Another time they used “an adult dose and a child dose” which… doesn’t sound right. But I remember waking with a half dozen people trying to rouse me.
when the surgery team came visiting me afterwards, the anesthesiologist said they used “the elephant’s dose”
Aphantasia here. Can’t see or remember shit. It sucks.
Only benefits are speed reading and a boost to abstract/scientific thinking. But episodic memories and visualisation sound more fun.
Also resistant to everything. Connective tissue disorder? (EDS)?
I can relate. Here’s something you can see though.
Aphantasia here too, do you have an inner monologue? I don’t, to the dismay of every therapist and partner I’ve ever had.
“What are you thinking?”
“There are not words for this.”
Nope just multiple streams of unsymbolic thinking usually. When thinking of something specific or planning how to say something I’ll consciously subvocalise, but there’s no volume/pitch/tone. Having your subconscious talk to you all day sounds exhausting.
Same here on the resistance to pain meds. I had a such a terrible experience with surgery. Once I woke up I was in such agony but I was also tripping hard from the dilaudid and left over anesthesia that I was unable to communicate effectively. Once a doctor finally listened to me many hours later, they gave me a cocktail of other stuff that finally eased the pain. I also really struggle with dental work.
I have hypermobility, but a mild form that just lets me bend my fingers back without any of the major problems associated with it.
My hands and feet are slightly adhesive when they’re any wetter than bone dry, so you can hear a faint peeling sound when I walk barefoot in the house, even a little bit on short carpet. Think peeling scotch tape and reduce it by 50%.
I can also control the muscles responsible for equalizing the pressure in my ears, and that allows me to put them under a slight vacuum to slightly dampen loud noises.
I also have long toes. Not to the extent of a chimp, but I have successfully signed my name with them before (though even lower quality than signing with my left hand).
I also cannot cry from cutting onions. This sounds awesome until you’re cutting 3 bags of onions in one go and you learn that the tears dilute the sulfuric acid that forms. That was a painful evening.
