What special ability do you posess that most people don’t have?
I have an uncanny ability to figure out the optimal size container to use to store leftovers. Kneel before my power!
I am your nemesis, I inevitably dirty several containers trying to find the right size.
We can fight when I am done doing the dishes.
Lol, my wife just ends up using an obscenely large container for the tiniest bit of left overs.
I can cook minute rice in 55 seconds.
Apparently, lucid dreaming. Been doing it my whole life, requires no effort to initiate.
Man it takes me maintaining a dream journal, some MILD affirmations now and then and about 15 Reality check per day to even get atleast one lucid dream in a week and when i get busy and couldnt keep up with my dream journal and reality check, i would need to start from scratch to get to that previous level and that could mean month gap between lucid dreams.
Took me a while to realize that this is actually a real life superpower, but - I can fix things. Throw it away? Meh… Repairing, upcycling? Bring it on!
Being unphased by traumatic situations. At least right away. If a loved one dies or there’s a terrorist attack, I feel nothing until usually months go by. It then hits me randomly and I get as upset as you’d expect one to at the beginning.
This is a totally normal response. Check out the book The Other Side of Sadness by George Bonanno if you want to learn more!
Welcome to the heartless club!
I can go anywhere there is alcohol present and not drink it.
Creepily excellent memory…although only for things that are pointless or people would really rather I didn’t remember.
Bit embarrassed to admit this, but I used to seriously believe I had the ability to read woman’s minds.
I used to walk into a party/bar and instantly know if I was going to have sex with a particular woman. This was virtually infallible. (Disclaimer: This didn’t happen every time I went to a party, nor did I necessarily choose the woman, but every time I felt that feeling I was right.)
Turns out many years later I realized I just had a good understanding of woman’s body language. And could tell when a woman found me attractive enough, and was horny enough, to let me pick her up.
FTR I do feel foolish for ever thinking I had some supernatural ability with women, but I was somewhat attractive and charming, so that went to my head.
I can hang things straight without using measurement tools. I just ‘sense’ it is straight. A nice power to have.
Not really a super power, but I’m deaf since birth, hearing aids since 3 months old, and I can read lips from ten feet away, which means that I can follow a conversation perfectly fine bc I can read lips, while everyone else has to have someone shouting in their ear from a foot away in noisy environments.
I have color-grapheme synesthesia. I can use this super power to… Uhmm… It won me a bet once? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapheme–color_synesthesia
I have cat-like night vision, and can see just fine in lighting that most people would call “pitch black”.
I don’t cry when I chop onions. If I’m chopping dozens of them, everyone needs to get out of the kitchen because the air will get potent (but I won’t notice).
I can hear the most minute of sounds. Even my kitten walking around downstairs (on a marble floor).
On the other hand, I hear way too much noise and have great trouble understanding speech because of it.
Just last week, it allowed me to hear the spinning of wheels stuck in mud a couple of klicks from my house, while I was eating dinner. Apparently someone got stuck in one of the muddy holes caused by the rains, in the middle of nowhere. Dropped him off at his place, and got the car freed the next day.
I can think selflessly.
Whoa - to the top
