Strange things you can do (no one believes)

[triggrhappy94]

I can play the intro to The Trooper by Iron Maiden, FCPREMIX by The Fall of Troy, Snow Hey Oh, Under the Bridge, and Dani California by RHCP, and Message in a Bottle by The Police on guitar while keeping up with the beat.
People normally believe me though...

I know how to build a computer
People normaly believe that too

I've flown a plane
People believe that too. I guess Im not specail.

I can make full length movies in my head, and then "watch" them later.

i can do that too,except it usually turns out more like a story board than an actual movie

 

[Hubbe]

I can sleep through pretty much everything, except for my alarm clock and/or people walking into my room.

Comes in handy, from time to time.

Really annoying when someone randomly walks into your room at 4 in the morning though.

 

[Evil Top Hat]

I used to be able to bend my index finger so far back my nail would touch the back of my hand.

I also have a friend who can lick his elbow.

 

[Darius Brogan]

I have a couple that nobody believes.

1) I can completely dislocate both of my shoulders without moving at all, no pain involved either. (Usually they believe me after I show them though)

2) I have the memories of at least four people from different periods of time in my head. No joke. It get's really confusing when I start thinking hard enough to find them, and I've got to work my ass of to separate them from my own memories.

3) While not physically capable of doing so, I can map out every Kata, from every martial art I've ever seen, even once, in my head.
I don't know where I get the ability to do it, and I've never bothered to learn, but it's really cool. Except if I were to try any of them, I'd likely break a few bones.

 

[William Ossiss]

I have control over my nostrils as in make the nostrils bigger (inflant). Apperantly the people who I have encounter can't do that.

pfft. i can do that, and i taught myself to. i know of a guy who can inflate one at a time.

OT: im Batman in an alternate reality.

#2 sounds like genetic memory.

That's actually possible? I've never heard of anyone with a memory like that. But I guess when it happens to you, you should know it's possible...

Interesting. I'll have to do some reading on genetic memory and see what I can find.

It's a strong trait in my family. Although we don't actively remember memories or experiences... very often one of my family members will be doing something for the first time and know exactly what to do.
I remember as a child my mother was putting pictures into picture frames and she suddenly knew to cover the back of the frames with paper and spray a little water on the paper.
Seems that's an old trick that tightens the paper on the back so it stays tight and doesnt wrinkle. and I mean that's an OLD trick.

 

[Coldster]

I can make a "clover shape" with my tongue. Didn't know it was rare until my biology teacher asked if anyone could do it. Then I felt kind of embarrassed with everyone looking at me making a silly looking face.

 

[Generalzdave]

Whenever I think of a part of a tv show, later in the day that exact episode will come on. This has happened about 50 times in my life. This also works sometimes with songs on the radio. I can also flare my nostrils, crack any area of my body, clap one hand, and I do the friction-healing trick from the original Karate Kid.

 

[Spineyguy]

All my fingers and both thumbs can bend back to 130 degrees.

I have no feelings whatsoever.

When I flex my toes they make a noise like a fire-cracker.

I can complete Fable 2 in an afternoon, without using XP glitches.

I can see the merit in Plato's philosophy.

 

[yeel]

does looking at the time when its 2:12 with regualar frequency count? cuase i seem to notice the time when its 2:12 mor than 2:13 or 2:11

This is pretty funny, i have the same thing. Surprisingly often when i watch a clock it's
either 12:00, 17:00 etcetra, or 09:09, 13:13 etcetra. I'm guessing it's an accurate biological clock or observation bias on my part.

 

[C95J]

I have random moments of precognition.

hahaha I read that as impregnation for some reason.

I myself have no special talent, like yourself although I have looked at the toaster just as it popped up a few times before... hmmm...

Also (on a slightly more serious note) I do notice that randomly I can just think of something that interests me, something completely random. that thing will stay in my head, and then between hours and a few days later, that subject comes up, without it coming up previously. It is strange, but it is probably just coincidence.

For example, earlier today I was thinking about how I could eat a McDonalds right now. A few hours later my mum comes and asks me if I wanted a McDonalds

It's strange and it happens quite frequently as well.

For a brief moment while I was stoned I discovered everything that was wrong about me and how to correct it so I can become a better person.I also nearly connected to the collective mind making me able to tap to the memories and experiences of millions of people.But I forgot later on.I still remember the "map" tho but not in great detail.Of course nobody believes me.

I often have dreams of games or situations around games.It's almost like clairvoyance.Infact I remember dreaming of Worms 3d when it was announced it would be 3d and then when I played it,it was exactly the same.I think it's related to my deja vus but that could just be me leading a boring and uneventful life.

Spoiler: click if you aren't easily offended

I don't know if this counts as an ability but I have a 9 inch penis.Nobody believes me tho and not a lot of girls have seen it .

 

[TheFinalFantasyWolf]

Well I usually make up movies in my head and

So can I

I can also remember an entire movie off by heart (including every scene and every line of dialogue) but it only works if I like the movie.....My mum recorded me repeating a movie once, I was about 5 years old.

 

[FamoFunk]

think of any way to prove it besides maybe jagging a voltmeter into my spine.

I can actively remember my baby years, birth and even some time in the womb. It's just fragments though. Ofcourse nobody believes that because I can just make memories up since nobody really knows what goes on in a baby's head.

Honestly, OP, it's no suprise no one beleives you. In general, adults do not remember events that took place prior to age 3. Especially in the womb.

I don't think I'm very special and do things people don't beleive

Being able to remember tiny details I read once years ago. Everyone thinks I have recently studied it or something. I can't remember anything important from last week however...

Improbable aiming skills - in airsoft being able whip the gun up and hit someone fairly far away without aiming or steadying the gun, in paintball hitting people from infeasibly long distance (30 degrees and more aiming up distance).

Most people know me as a quiet, shy, hard-core gamer who over-anaylyses everything and likes to be safe. They think I'm trying to act tough when I tell them stories of dangerous things done on a motorbike, bike rallies, shagging around, parties, raves etc. Then they see my bike and the pics.

 

[Mr. Google]

Just wanted to respond to your second claim: As far as I'm aware, babies aren't born with the ability to form recallable memories - That's developed later in life.
Further on, memory is an odd thing. You might be able to recall experiences you've never went through, as in: "Ahh, I remember the cabin at the lake we was at when i was four" - But you never went to any cabin near a lake.

As for strange things... I don't think I'm able to do anything particularly strange.

Yeah as was proven by cracked.com someone can make up memories for you because...well the brains just a *****

I can tell the time, without looking at a clock or the sun or anything else for that matter. It's really weird, but handy! It started when friends of mine asked me what time it is and i didn't really know, so i took a guess and....wait for it....i was right! This happened a couple times, and my friends noticed it. So they ended up testing this ability at random moments. I haven't been more than 2 minutes off in over 100 guesses...everytime again, i'm, amazed by this, since i actually just keep guessing and never really know if i'm even close...but i scary enough; i am
