I can crack my elbows like knuckles by just extending my arms. My brother can do it too, but I’ve never met anyone else who can do it.
Reminds me of the show “Extraordinary”. Watch it, if you got the chance. It’s really funny and also deals about pointless superpowers.
I have super sensitive hearing, so while I can hear the faintest of noises, it also means loud noises are overwhelming and painful.
I can cut butter to the exact weight each time.
My super annoying power is a sense of smell similar to the person in the post. I can smell ants, roaches and sick humans. I can smell all kinds of things and it has its uses. I can small bad food and mold a day or so before it is apparent to others.
The downside is that I can small all kinds of things such as horrible BO that others can’t. I can smell when women are menstruating. I can smell so many things that others can’t that I’m jealous of people who just smell things normally.
I guess we are only talking about the oddly specific ones so.
I like acidic foods so much, that I drank a cup of vinegar once, and survived.
My teeth are also weirdly resistant to decay.
I can turn ducks around… but only when they are in the water
I can make warts go away by touching them while counting. It’s been in my family for generations.
I think I can smell progesterone, in some women, and in some months (far more than others/other times). Being male, this is absolutely is not something I can collect a lot of data on very quickly, and I don’t know whether the strength or clarity for me correlates with women who have higher levels than normal, but I do know it correlates really well with this chart in terms of timing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Estradiol_and_progesterone_%25_changes_across_the_menstrual_cycle.tif
So often I know that it’s a week and a half before your period, and I know what that means, but I promise you that I have never ever used this knowledge, partly because I’m pretty shy, but not even with my wife (who doesn’t know I can tell) when we were aiming for pregnancies, because that was a very busy time indeed in that arena and I saw no reason to reduce that in any way whatsoever.
Probably odorous house ants (sometimes also called sugar ants). I’m fairly sensitive to their scent, myself and recall being in tears as a small child ~6 because one of them walked across my finger and no amount of washing would get the smell off. I’m not a fan.
I can plug in a USB drive/cable on the first time, successfully, without flipflopping the connector (and then USB C had to come along and invalidate my only worthwhile achievement)
I just learned from another thread that mine is… fantasizing smells and flavors, and being able to mentally combine them to know what two ingredients will taste like together before I combine them. Apparently not everyone can do this?
Have you read The perfume by Patrick Süskind? You sound like a real-life Grenouille. Without the murdering, hopefully :D
Screw you for making me remember XD
Didn’t knew this was not normal. Although I’ve screwed with mine by moving. Some stuff tastes slightly different from what I expect, and those small differences accumulate. But I suppose I’ll eventually get used to the ingredients here and it will come back.
As far as I’m aware, this is a skill that can be learned by training your palate
A lot of these are skills that people can learn, but they’re not something that most people care to learn. I can only recommend this one though
Makes sense, I’ve done food and wine training for years.
You are the Iron Man of these already mundane Avengers lol
I’m one of those. I really couldn’t make my own recipes when I was homebrewing.
I can do this. I’m also good at trying food at a restaurant, then recreating the flavors at home.
I have special ability to fall asleep quick if deciding to take a nap during office hours.
Unfortunately, it’s not effective going to sleep in the evening
Have you considered working night shifts?
I did, it was the final nail in the coffin for my sleep schedule 🤣

I can level paintings by hand, and usually on the first try. I still always double check with a level
