Do you have any "useless" skills?

[lestagio]

What are some skills you have that are practically useless to you in your life?

For me, I can rap and say tongue twisters really quickly, and I can solve Rubik's cubes. I can wiggle my ears, and I can raise single a single eyebrow. Also, I'm horrifically flexible in some ways... I've lost a little bit of it as I've gotten older, though. In my teenage years, I could do the shit like putting my leg behind my head which would freak people out. My friends still act mortified when they see how I sit because I sit in a modified "criss-cross" position. Instead of having my two legs bent in and intertwining, both feet going under the knees, I have my two legs sitting on top of each other, if that makes any sense (I'm actually typing while sitting like this). Never thought anything of it until one of my friends called me out for it in high school and then I found out that this is apparently a unique skill...

I can whistle with my upper lip in such a funny way that it sounds like a watering can, but I can't whistle normally.

I can make a baseball bounce and hit any corner of the SZ I want, any time I want — it's useless because a pitch hitting the dirt won't count as a strike.

I can shoot a bottle cap across the room by putting it in my fingers and snapping.

Oh, check it out! It's actually legal if I can get someone to swing at it.

This opens up some options...

I can imitate the sound of a cricket. Good for breaking that dead silence.

I can do many things with either hand, whereas people typically use one hand for a given task. For example, can you imagine using a knife with your dominant hand and then the other the next time? I do things like this unconsciously all the time, confusing others. People usually can't tell if I'm right- or left-handed.

 

[Boofytan]

I can flex my right pec, I almost always know what time it is without checking, and I can tell you when the microwave is going to stop.

 

[Aerolite]

I can flip my eyelids

 

[TinRattler]

I can scull a longneck (750ml bottle of beer)

I used to be really good at touching up magazine scans. I contributed to Retromags once but the scanner I had was kind of crap, and would either eat some of the pages or leave weird scan artifacts (probably caused by dirt on the mechanism) so I took about a month fixing the pages, submitted it, and was praised for the work. Then my scanner broke and I was never able to replace it with something decent, so I stopped.

Why is this useless? Because I've only ever been good with GIMP 2, which uses "floating selections" by default (if you know you know). I've tried to use both GIMP 3 and Photoshop and am 100% useless with the software, regardless of how much time I spend trying to learn! I can only make magic happen with GIMP 2!

I can flip my eyelids

Haha thanks, now kindly get the fuck out of my thread.
