I’m ADHD. I’ll find a new one by next week.
I’m good at drawing detailed gore.
Have anything you’d like to share?
Hhhhmmm… No. Not from those drawings.
But I use “Tattorack” as my username everywhere, so if you’re motivated enough you could find them.
Valid. I’m not going to look it up, but I believe you.
Never had a problem falling asleep. Bed, couch, chair, floor. Indoors, outdoors, as long as it’s not sweltering hot or freezing cold I’m out in under 10 min.
Jalous
Speaking Spanish. Haven’t needed it in years and my actual grasp of the language is tenuous at this point but every native speaker I interact with says my pronunciation is great. Understanding the differences between English and Spanish phonetics helps a ton in that regard.
I hear you on this, I spent my late teens through my 20s and 30s living abroad and learning other languages. I’ve since moved back home and had kids. I had to break out my Spanish a few times in the past year or so and both my kids did a double take/didn’t know what the hell was happening when they saw me speaking passable/semi-fluent Spanish to native speakers.
I’m just your average stay at home Dad living in a small town nowadays but had a wildly international life before settling down. When they saw me speak another language the questions started to come out about where I had been or what I had been doing.
I hadn’t spoken about it much to my kids when they were younger but now, based on their questions, I half suspect that they think I was some sort of international spy. Nope, just a lot of wanderlust, a knack for languages and learning about the psychology of other cultures first hand.
I can tie a knot in a spaghetti while it’s in my mouth.
That’s impressive.
Back in the day there was a TV show called Twin Peaks. On this show one of the actresses did this with a cherry stem. Later on Saturday Night Live, they spoofed this with one of the comedians trying a bow, like you would get on a Christmas package. Cracked me up.
Overtone singing. I can do Amazing Grace because the melody fits within the available notes, but I don’t like that song. Usually just sing random melodies to the dogs & they give me the head tilt.
I can bend my knees backwards to about 200°. It’s just not that interesting + difficult to show off in normal pants + gives away that I’m secretly a horse.
I can find a location based on a picture.
last time I showed anyone was at work. one of my coworkers began sharing pictures of their trip through Europe while on vacation. it was kind of obnoxious, so I started to post the latitude and longitude of where the person standing was when the picture was taken along with gifs of Jason Bourne.
my coordinates were so accurate they accused me of somehow extracting the deleted geodata from the images.
it freaked everyone out, and nobody shared their vacation pictures with me again.
I can do it with video too. interestingly, I’ve even pinpointed locations and dates videos were recorded on based on what what playing on the TV or radio in the background.
the point I always try to make to people is that if I can do it, DOHS has been able to do it for even longer.
So i guess you either love geoguesser or think its mundane people find it challenging.
I enjoy it. if anything it helps me keep the skill sharp.
obviously the more information captured in the photo the better. most people don’t even realize how much information is in a picture they take and share online.
people post pictures of their kids at school sporting events, unknowingly giving information about age, gender, location, dates, times, etc. or folks post enough pictures on their social media to accurately draw the floorplan to their homes. even when they post shows their schedule of when they are working, sleeping, or just generally out of town.
it’s one of the many reasons why I don’t post pictures of myself or family online.
How was their fun obnoxious to you lol
you?
obnoxious to
is this
I don’t know.
Absolute pitch. Can spot a lie just by the sound of your voice. It makes relationships hell.
I want to see you test this. I had no idea that lies had different pitches
There are so many tells with lies that they can be easy to spot once you know enough of them. Not all tells are absolute across everyone but if you know enough of the tells you can see them easily when several present themselves all at the same time.
I can write on a blackboard with both hands simultaneously, my left hand mirroring the right one.
And talking of blackboards, at some point I mastered drawing doted lines with chalk in a single stroke.
Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l789l6np-qAEdit: I can whistle painfully loud using my fingers, when I was a kid it was a rather common skill. Not so much now.
Watch that video with subtitles.
I can do that loud whistle, too. My dad has season tickets for an NFL team for many years, so I went to a lot of games. I could whistle so loudly that the people in my section would flinch, and turn to glare at me. Fuck all of ya, it’s a football game!
Brrrrrr d d d d d d lol
Tuvan throat singing
Hell yeah.
Mastered it?
I’m pretty good, but mastered, I would never claim that level
Sweet.
I muck around trying to mimic the style, but can not really hit it. Great sound to be able to make.
Just keep at it. It’s more like playing an instrument than singing
I can remember 70 items passwords.
I can do a pretty decent Smeagol impression, complete with moving about on all fours. There really isn’t a time and place for that to emerge, sadly.
Someone I knew ran a “talent show” about a decade ago for a summer show at a local theater.
What they wanted was a showcase of musical talents and things related to musical theater specifically. They neglected to put that in any of the advertising materials.
I was quite upset when they didn’t include a little girl who did a spot on Gollum impression with movement, props, and full scene reenactments. She was super excited to show everyone, and while everyone else was blown away, “this isn’t really the type of talent we’re going for” is all he could muster.
That girl was a solid 10/10, and should have been allowed a slot in the show.
Her talent is wonderful, a truly hidden artform. It’s a shame the talent show organizer couldn’t recognize that fact.
Surely you whip this out on halloween or in a dark alley way
That’d be a great way for me to get dragged along, showing some stupid hobbitses the way into Mordor
You expect me to believe “Butt Master Flex” cannot find an appropriate time to say “my precious” and stare intensely while twiddling your fingers Mr.Burns style?
You sir, need to find your bootstraps
Pretty sure I’ve seen that Farming While Beige guy on YouTube do both in a video.
I’ve got a good Smeagol and a good Stitch. Never comes out
I can do a perfect cartoonish witch cackle. My friends love it lol.
I can also unhinge my left jaw like a snake. My jaw on that side is just flat on the top and bottom, so there’s no actual joint. I was born like this and it’s pretty painful, but seeing people get freaked out over me opening my mouth much more than it ought to is great.
You would be getting burned in the witch trials. Witch laugh + weird snake jaw and im convinced you probably are a witch
man. if I gots something to show i love pulling it out.
Please don’t pull it out
check. no pulling out.
