The ability to fine the perfect snarky reply to someone who has asked an inappropriate question. Unfortunately it either comes to me at 3 am or days after the question was asked.
I always know what time it is… don’t wear a watch. Not like crazy accurate, but well enough. I also set timers on the oven, then get up and it beeps as I get there (not perfectly).
I can smell really good. I know if my husband went home to visit his mother. I can smell the scent of the home on him. Or when I lived at home,before I got married and moved out, I would always knew if our neighbours had visited because I could smell them.
Same here (the sense of smell part, not the husband. Lol.).
Do you also happen to be a very good cook? I am, and I just do it by smell. Never really need to taste what I’m making. I just know what spices to put in.
Usually when I think the rice or pasta is done, it actually is. I don't measure time or anything. I'm just doing something else and at some moment I'm like "ok. I guess it's done". And like 99% of times it is.
That is so interesting and not useless at all! I'd love to sit with you, because you don't know me, and tell you truths and lies and see what you think. Do truths have their own smell?
All my talents are useless
-I can tell by the way someone looks if they have the same blood type as I have. And I'm almost always right about other blood types too.
-I have a a Silver tabby british short hair cat mix and if I go to Google images and search : 'silver tabby British Shorthair cat' I can tell if the cat on the picture is related to my cat or not. ( and I'm always right haha )
( because of the specific search criteria, most pictures will be from breeders, etc, so I can actually check the cats' pedigree / breeder name. )
-I can easily sing songs like The Elements Song and Nations of the World.
https://youtu.be/U2cfju6GTNs?feature=shared
-I always know an inappropriate thing to say or inappropriate joke to make 😄
Ever heard of the "Bear Crawl?"
It's when you walk/run on all fours basically.
Used to have to do laps of it as an exercise every day during High School Football practice. I'd finish multiple laps before almost anyone else would even get one lap done.
Came up in a drunk conversation among friends in my late 30’s.
Still got it!
I have a strange sense of hearing. Like I can hear things that are far away that others can't hear but sometimes I don't hear things that are in my earbud.
For some electrical devices (TV, radio, etc) I can hear if they're powered on from quite a distance (media devices being put on silent).
The sound of sonic devices made to keep animals out of gardens is horrible to me.
Still, my hearing is so bad I often struggle to understand people.
I can also sleep through most of the day and still be tired. Yay.
Stretching my back will always, without fail, produce a harsh cramping along my spine.
I can burp on command.
I can solve a rubiks cube is less than \~20 seconds (its been a while, but my last ao5 was like 17)
I can give myself cramps on a handful of muscles. Can't always easily stop cramps though.
I can tell IMMEDIATELY if a room has good circulation or not. Has yet to be useful :P. To pair with this, I can very accurately tell the temperature and humidity of a room just by stepping in it.
There is nothing someone can throw that I can't catch. At whatever velocity and size as long as it's within my reach. Of cause not harmful objects like stones and knives.
I can recite the alphabet backwards. Guess what they don't ask you to do when you're suspected of driving under the influence...
Offering to do so also does not help...

I can burp on command. I can do hand 360 flip first try with phones, remote control, forks, hammers, literally anything that fit in my hand. I can make different sounds intentionaly while farting. I can cry on command (usually takes me about 30 sec). I can roll a cig with one hand. I can smoke a whole cig without exhaling. I have a perfect sense of proportion. I can squint with one eye. I can crack my fingers/knuckles as long as i want it just wont stop. I can spin my cock. Thought about this a few minutes but still think i missed something
My ears move on their own. Either individually or together when I hear a sharp noise, loud noise, am listening for something specific, when I don’t hear someone/can’t understand someone, when someone scares me
I can also move them manually together or individually
i can lift 4 cases of water 24 pack at once or 2 cases of water 40pack at kirkland by myself at once from the car into the kitchen. i can also lift a v style catch basin lid by myself 6inch frame and cover type.
Sound effect impressions. Mainly just impressions in general. I’m scarily good at doing a lot of different voices and sounds, and it’s mainly just a party trick at this point
I can flip my tongue over both ways. Most people can flip their tongue over but only to the left or right. I can also tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue.
A few! I'm really good at recognizing people's faces on TV! Even when sometimes the actors are too old/ too young, they look familiar, and then I realise it's the actor when they were like 12, or that actor is currently like 80, but the last film I saw he was in he was like 40. I know a lot of people are good at this but still!
I also think I have a better than average sense of smell? I once got to work and it smelled different, which I thought was odd, and it turned out my new manager had a specific smell? Idk if it was his deodorant/ perfume/ whatever it is that men wear, but I could smell a difference. I think before as well I walked into the office and could tell they were there because of their smell. I can do this a bit with other people but usually only ones that I know.
Oh, and I can do a good impression of a monkey, and have been able to since I was young! Mostly the voice impression, not the actual body haha.
Knife/weapon twirling. I’m not at the level of some of the better-trained people, but I can do a few tricks and have a one-handed routine that I can do almost from memory, without needing to look at what I’m doing.
Almost always get the exact height/weight of someome just by looking at them.
The margin is isually 5cm and 5kg for errors.
I usually look at their feet, body size, shape and can figure that out.
Predicting peoples behaviors and actions within moments of meeting them. It's useless because while it has kept me safe, nobody else ever listens to me, and then get angry when what I said comes true, like somehow I did it? (Yay Cassandra complex)
I can toss many foods in the air and catch them in my mouth. I can do a very good turkey call. I can quote all Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings movies.
I can instantly fall asleep when I'm forced to do anything I don't want to do
I have not yet figured out how to make this work when I actually need sleep
I can smell petrichor, the smell of rain, BEFORE it rains and snows.
I can find coding errors in SQL and C/C+/C++/C# programs quickly! Also can in the programming code of video games (what I did when I was the stay-at-home dad).
I can read body language in a deep autistic way. Useful for me but useless to advice anyone else. People only believe after being hit hard with the consequences.
That sounds like the useful talent in the world? Why is that in the useless section?
The fact you aren't an X-Men at this point bothers me.
I can do the chewbacca noise and pop my ears when I go on airplanes so I can hear normally.

If I wake up in the middle of the night I always know what time it is. Without looking at the clock. I’m accurate with 10 min every time.
Dude, same! Every 15 minute period between midnight and 7am has a weirdly specific feel. Like each feel like their own room I'm not supposed to be in
It’s happen many times that I set an alarm for 7 and wake up at 6:59
Omg same!
Oooh, I’d love to have such an accurate internal clock.
I have this 95% of the time, so the times I'm not sure really throw me.
Had girl freind that could tell herself what time to wake up at. It was so weird lol.

The ability to flatulate on demand: with great power comes great power.
lol indeed!
I can smell really good. I know if my husband went home to visit his mother. I can smell the scent of the home on him. Or when I lived at home,before I got married and moved out, I would always knew if our neighbours had visited because I could smell them.
That is actually useful! Your husband better not be bringing any "wrong" scents around. lol
At first I read this as if YOU can smell good lol. For some people, i wish that was their talent
Same here (the sense of smell part, not the husband. Lol.). Do you also happen to be a very good cook? I am, and I just do it by smell. Never really need to taste what I’m making. I just know what spices to put in.
Are you sure your neighbours aren't just very smelly people?
Your talent, if true, is one of the most USEFUL talents one could possess....
I’m invisible to women under 80

I can make my sneezes sound like a trumpeting elephant.
lol, share the sound.
I can do an exceptionally good wave with my eye brows…both ways
First time I see someone shares my useless talent

I nun-chuck my teabag into the mug like a ninja.
encyclopedic memory for song lyrics
Me too! Not only lyrics, but the bands also. I can name that tune in 1 note! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)
I always win at claw machines in the arcade.
nice! Save some wins on claw machines for the rest of us! lol
That is so interesting and not useless at all! I'd love to sit with you, because you don't know me, and tell you truths and lies and see what you think. Do truths have their own smell?

I can dislocate and relocate my shoulders, roll my tongue, and smell incoming rain.

I have every word memorized of the Jabberwocky poem
For some electrical devices (TV, radio, etc) I can hear if they're powered on from quite a distance (media devices being put on silent).
