Strange things you can do (no one believes)

[ultimateownage]

People always don't believe me when I say I'm pretty good at recognising who's male and female through chat. I get it right like 99% of the time.
Yeah, that's the only noteworthy thing I can do.

I'm fucking boring.

 

[Cavehybrid]

I can do that! ^^ But I need more than 2 tips round thats for sure, I just rethink, then go, ok that means that back wall must be that corridors left wall and so on until eventually i've made the map. Does moving ur hands with ur eyes shut help you with that? It does fo me ^^

 

[Azure-Supernova]

I can taste emotions... yeah that's not too weird right? I can't explain it, my mouth has a distinctive taste according to how I'm feeling.

 

[Cavehybrid]

Mine don't twitch but i can hear mouse, cat and dog repellers, you know those little things u plug in that scare away pests. Also if i'm having a conversation and someone says a word i find important in another room i'll overhear it and be able to follow two conversations at once.

I can imagine 7 dimensions.
This one is very hard to prove.
It also makes my brain hurt.

Heh, meet super string theory.

I held 2 cells and drank some normal bottled water that I had tachyonized for a few hours.

How, exactly, do you go about 'tachyonising' a bottle of water? Because I doubt it's very healthy for you, that high you're feeling may just be radiation poisoning.

Tachyon particles are SOOO small and go soo fast (THROUGH the earth's molicule gaps at NEAR the speed of light or faster) we don't have machines sophisticated enough to measure these particles. Perhaps when they built something smaller than a nano-meter or something that day will come.

Oh dear we've made a whoopsie. Tachyons are quantum particles, existing both as physical objects and electromagnetic waveforms depending on if they're observed. That being said, even while existing as particles they don't travel by speed in the same way we do, they exist as probability fields. However even with that, we as a race do have the ability to detect quantum particles, both using our eyes (light photons are quantum particles) and devices like photometres and colourometeres. Tachyons, on the other hand, violate many principles of current universal physics theories and very likely can't be detected because they don't exist.

Of course you'd know all of this if you just read the wikipedia page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon], which I really recomend you do in future before irradiating yourself or wasting thousands of [your currancy here] trying to detect something that's already being looked for by qualified scientists with millian dollar budgets.

Okay I thought a Tachyon was a subatomic particle that can break the speed of light but only in a vacuum? So how are you creating a vacuum for all this "tachyonising" or how do you do it? I also thought that a research group from Austrailia named KANGAROO (not kidding, that's what they call themselves) did discover it and although it's true that the human eye (when adapted to the dark) can detect a photon, I don't think you would see something traveling faster than 186,000 miles per second. Lastly, did you mean whether light is a wave or particle depends on HOW it's observed? Sorry that first bit confused me. This is why Wikipedia is NOT equal to a library.

Alright, let me clear things up a bit. Or so I hope.

A Tachyon is a theoretical particle moving faster than the speed of light. We can't disprove that detect a Tachyon and probably never will because even if it exists it probably doesn't interact with sub-lightspeed particles. And if it does we still need bigger and better detectors.

Creating a vacuum isn't the problem, I mean you just have to suck the air out of an airtight vessel but I call BS on the "tachyonizing" part as shown in the last paragraph.

Aaaand... I'm not sure I know this photon detection experiment. Google to the rescue!

But I can help you with the ol' particle-wave-problem.
See, light is a strange thing. It's not totally wave but not totally particle, sometimes it uses features of a wave, sometimes of a particle.
For example looking at the <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment>double-slit experiment it behaves like a wave, meaning we can see interference like when you throw two stones into the water next to each other.
On the other hand do waves need a medium to travel through (sound waves, for example, can't exist in a vacuum) but light still passes the emptiness of space.

I could go on but I think I'll leave you there for now. Though feel free to ask, I have way too many hard physic books here. I can talk about anything.

Wow, that's pretty damn awesome.

 

[rotkiv]

I can apologize and admit when I'm wrong on the internet.

If you can do that then apologize to us for lying about that you can apologize on the internet.

guess that you can´t do that

 

[let's rock]

Hmm, I am fleiable to give myself a blowjob (if you tell anybody I know that A: you are an internet stalker because you found out who I am and B: I will kill you for telling them) Nobody knows because I don't tell people a lot for fear of masterbation jokes

 

[eggy32]

I don't find that too hard to believe. It's quite similar to synysthesia (sp?). That's when you see colours when you hear sounds.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I can apparently sometimes sleep standing up with my eyes open, apprently it's a side effect of my PTSD. It apparently creeps people out, hell it creeps me out.

It's not much of a mutant power though.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I can play the spoons. people seem to think that I'm joking, until I get out 10 or 30 spoons and just start busting out beethoven and Metallica and soundgarden.

i can also fight, which most people dont think I can just cause I'm not very imtimidating physically.

I can also play hockey, and the story mos people dont seem to think is true is that i scored four goals in a row in a game, getting both the natural hat trick (three goals, in a row, no one from eiher team scoring in between, scored all by the same person) and the Gordie howe Hat trick (A goal, an assist, and a fight, all in the same game).

I came close to the Lemieux Cycle once (A goal, a Power Play Goal, a Short handed goal, an empty net, and a Penalty Shot) and almost went over it (Scoring a Shoot out Goal, those didnt exist when he was playing), but I missed the penalty shot and my Shoot out goal got blocked. Why yes, I was the person who scored all the goals for my team, cause my team at the time sucked offensively and I had to basically shoulder it the entire 60 minuts of regular play and almost 40 of OT.

 

[Dranae]

I can put my palm on a flat surface and rotate my arm 360 degrees, but it gets a bit painful.

I can also accurately remember rooms I haven't been in in years.

 

[rednose1]

I can recite the alphabet backwards. Not really a genetic skill, but somewhat unusual I think. Most people I tell make me prove it, then I have to prove it again slowly so they can keep up. Much simpler to just write it down for them instead.

 

[Cavehybrid]

ASSASIN'S CREED! Awesome ^^ I don't know about time periods but my mother and I can get weird memories of places we have never been to. Then we go there and know the routes around, it might be low level pyschic or just have genetic memory of someone who has. We both have been to similar holiday destinations as our granparents and also talk alot to eachother so also it could be us imagining so hard we make the map. I dunno.

Pretty sure my mum is pyschic though:When we bought our first houses mum said to dad "Got this weird feeling that a man will come from london on a motorbike and buy this house." Several months later My little brother is born so we need a new place and sell the old house. A nice nurse comes along and mum asked if she is living alone, nurse says know she has a partner who lives in london, mum shocked, obviously asks "Does he ride a motorcycle?" to which the nurse replied "YES".

That is her best one, others like geussing couples getting together and people being ill and stuff i can put down to reading boy language and stuff. I can get some like her but its never as important, its bassically 3 months in advance deja vu: Conversations, being somewhere, not trusting someone and stuff like that.

Clap with one hand (you kinda hit the base of the palm with the fingertips, folding your hand to half the size in the process). If nothing else, it's a good way to irritate Zen masters, I suppose. Well, unless you opt for this [http://buttersafe.com/2007/08/09/consulting-the-master/] answer.

Also, I am bad for electronics (rather like my mother, but less so). Watches and clocks generally don't last terribly long, computers I own start going wrong in ways that baffle pretty much everyone, and lights in my room last less long. In fact, I've had plenty of lights just stop working (permanently) the second I walk into the room.

No one believes the former until they see it, and no one outside the family believes the latter to this day. I reckon the electronics thing might be some sorta weak personal EMF effect, but honestly, that's pure amateur guesswork. Don't know why it'd happen anyway.

Well people with strange electrical patterns in their bodies creating magnetic fields and what-not are not unheard of, so it could be that. I can imagine how a magnetic field would screw up electronics.

Me... Nothing unbelievable that I can think of... Although despite being a nerd who does not like the majority of people who around me at any given time, I have always had... options with the opposite gender. Never ones I wanted until last year, but always options.

 

[amppi1236]

I can snap nearly every joint in my body. People don't believe this until I simultaneously make my neck, fingers, wrists, elbows and knees do a very nasty "crack".

I also can turn off pain from my legs and hands. I actually do feel the pain,and know it is there. I just don't register it as much. If you were to smash my thumb with a hammer, while I was in this state. I would just say: "look at that" without me making any notion of feeling it.

Almost, forgot: I also learned a small trick when I was always bullied as a small child,I'm kinda like a social chameleon. Around new people I stay silent and watch them, when they finally speak to me, I can assume the right attitude depending on the subject and the people around me. I also do this in a minute. Then I can switch immediatly. Not sure if this counts, tho.

 

[Enrathi]

I can flare my nostrils, roll my tongue, and wiggle my ears. The first two seem common enough, but no one believes me on the last until I prove it.

 

[amadhatter]

I can exhale out of my eye socket. It really hurts.

 

[warrcry13]

I can turn my emotions on and off at will.

Data is that you?


OT:
I can dislocate (at least it looks like that) my right thumb as I wish and "relocate" it without external force.
You believe me when you see it.
Most people say that is gross but otherwise I don't show that very often.

Not very spectacular but I couldn't just ask if Tentickles is Data

[Edited typo]

I can do that with my left thumb. Laos to a lesser extent my right thumb, but not really as well and to do it I have to push it. I'm right handed, are you by chance left handed?

 

[DoctorPhil]

I can raise the skin on the back of my head and I can make my eyeballs tilt, but there are many people who can do that. I also hear everything at the same time, I can't focus on particular sounds, wich is really damn annoying, since that makes it near impossible to listen to a conversation when there's a lot of background noise.
Man, why do my superpowers have to be so lame? Now I know how aquaman feels.
