I can hold electric (cow) fences without getting shocked. Perfect for fence hopping through paddocks.

I get SO many weird looks when I tell people I don’t like bleu cheese because it tastes like ants

My knee makes horrible, disturbing crackling and popping sounds when I move it, even just a little bit. It doesn’t hurt at all, and grosses out anyone who is unfortunate enough to hear it. I especially enjoy telling family members to “listen to this” and then slowly extending my leg out.

I shattered the upper portion of my tibia while bouldering to get this ability. I asked my surgeon about it (my tibia/knee required a total of 3 surgeries to repair) and they told me it was likely scar tissue, and would persist.

I can make the sound of one hand clapping.

It was a thing that went around my middle school. You keep your hand at about a 90 degree angle to your arm, and then flap back and forth with your fingers loose so it hits your palm. Takes a little practice.

I have super sensitive hearing, so while I can hear the faintest of noises, it also means loud noises are overwhelming and painful.

I get to be the favorite of pretty much all the family pets. Always been.

Some family and friends joke that I probably could go to an African safari and the lions wouldn’t harm me. Not really rushing to find out if it’s true tho.

I could sometimes think what someone else is about to say right before they say it but I’m either delusional or really lucky

I can turn ducks around… but only when they are in the water

Remember those “exercise while you sleep” infomercials? I have parasomnia, so sometimes I wake up sore from moving around all night. Turns out, it really is like exercise while you sleep.

i can touch my thumb to my wrist. Not terribly useful.

My boyfriend can smell when someone drank alcohol hours (or even days!) later. He seems to smell it in a person’s sweat, so we suspect he senses some kind of metabolite.

As to me? In-person I seem to emit a comforting, trustworthy aura. Children and stray animals approach me like they just know that I’m a safe space for them. As a result, I’ve acquired quite a list of no-kill shelters in my phone. I also ended up working in children’s therapy.

Adults who share my wavelength can also recognize it in me, and I can recognize it in them - we’re drawn to each other in the same “inherently trustworthy” way. I suspect it’s an aspect of neuro-divergence.

Reminds me of the show “Extraordinary”. Watch it, if you got the chance. It’s really funny and also deals about pointless superpowers.

I can also smell ants but only after I squish them.

My superpower is I can accurately pour one or one half cup of rice by sight and feel without going by the line on the measuring cup.

I can play a spontaneous and convincing harmony on my violin to any song I hear. Sometimes I can even do this as I’m hearing a new song for the first time and trying to join in. I also suck at reading sheet music, so this could be a survival adaptation?
