your useless superpowers

[Asita]

I whistle the 'wrong' way. Far more often than not if you ask someone how to whistle, it'll be some variant of "exhale", whether it's a pucker-whistle or a wolf-whistle. I whistle by inhaling.

I also have a very good memory for fiction. It's a bit of a running gag with my friends that I'll rarely miss a reference for something I've seen or read.

The last time I was tested, I was told I have 20/12 vision. I get distracted by ants on the sidewalk as I walk. I can see things clearly that nobody else can decipher. Hence the useless part. What's the point of seeing things that the world cannot?

I'm strangely psychic when it comes to what's going to come on next...Not with everything of course but when I'm listening to my music on shuffle, I'll kind of get a 2-second ear-worm of a different song that that will wind up being the next one played. When it comes to TV, I get the same thing with The Simpsons: Without the help of TV Guide or channel previews, I will know which episode of The Simpson's will be coming on that day. It manifests by me just thinking of a random Simpson's quote which is used in THAT episode. It's weird and useless but I think it's pretty neat.

I have hitchhikers thumbs. I can literally bend them back to right angles.

ME TOO! I blame mine of the fact that I used to really love playing those Neo-Geo machines that local pizza places used to have...also Pinball...and I was addicted to Gauntlet Legends...

considering my weight can fluctuate by up to 6 kilos a week it's pretty impressive.... but not very useful.

What? How is that even possible?!

------------------------------------

Apparently i have very good memory, since i keep asking my parents about things that happened decades ago and they rarely remember it
Usually my nose is quite stuffed up, but i remember one time i smelled a guy standing on the other side of the parking lot outside these apartments

 

[GrumbleGrump]

I'm kind of forgetful.

I can vibrate my eyes.

I can bend my left thumb a little more than my right thumb.

 

[sageoftruth]

I can talk about politics with anyone regardless of belief or ideology without pissing them off. Kind of useless though, since I often don't know enough about politics myself to reach any meaningful conclusions.

 

[Aerosteam]

I don't have to blink.

 

[Foolery]

I'm colour blind. Not a super power, but worth mentioning I guess.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I have a moderate resistance to cold. I can stand in a T-shirt where most other people need a jacket or sweatshirt. (Unfortunately, in warmer temperatures where most people are comfortable, I'm not; in any room about 65 degrees, if I don't have air flowing past me via a fan or air duct, I will bake in my own body heat to the point where I feel like I have a sunburn.)

I can write in mirror script fairly easily, and I can read upside down and backwards.

Spoiler: I have the amazing ability to deflect all subtle cues of rejection that women throw at me in a desperate attempt to make me understand that I am making them very uncomfortable.

I work 12 hour days walking non stop and moving heavy boxes and spend gym sessions leg pressing over half a ton as a warm up.
The only thing stopping me turning into a skeleton is the fact I consume 3 times the daily recommended kilojules on my days off.

Guess this is sorta useful but a childhood of eating cheap pork rolls at shady bakeries has also given me an immunity to food poisoning, I can tell within a couple of bites if something is bad but the sort of food that would send someone to the hospital will just give me a tiny bit of gas and a mild fever.

I have really good hearing. When I took one of those beep tests with the headphones the nurse said she'd never seen a result as good as mine. She even ran it again to make sure. (That was nearly ten years ago though. Its presumably dulled somewhat with age.)

Above-average hearing is actually a good thing. My hearing is really good as well; so is my sight.

Back in high school, I could tell someone's age just by looking at them. I'd sometimes be off by a year, but I was mostly really accurate, which either astonished or creep people out. Obviously, I can't do that anymore, and I never found out how I was able to do that in the first place.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let see-

I can roll my tongue and flare up my nostril (not many people can do those two).
I can resist the heat slightly above people resistance to heat. People always mention how I can be fine when they are boiling hot.

When writing a story, my brain will spontaneously start new ones. It can be annoying when I'm trying to finish ideas I've been working on for a long time.

Also, I apparently can do very intelligent essay summations in less than two hours. Procrastination has improved my vocabulary? Sure, I'll take it.
