Ask Lemmy

I aquired this superpower trough habits, but i can intuitively find the north.

Apart from that, well, I'm just myself

I can stop hiccups at will. Whenever I get a hiccup, I just stop.

wait i'm a supertaster and i fucking hate ants, if that's the scent i can do it too. well i could if i didn't shitbomb the bathroom so often. but you may have legitimately helped me in my lifelong war against the ants (i'm farsighted i cannot see them until i sit down and they crawl up and bite my jibblies thank you)

I'm really, really good at peeling oranges with my bare hands (or at least I used to be in grade school when all my friends would make me do it for them). The problem is, I hate the taste of oranges so I never use this power.

I can also smell ants but only after I squish them.

My superpower is I can accurately pour one or one half cup of rice by sight and feel without going by the line on the measuring cup.

i can breathe in strong winds

i can touch my thumb to my wrist. Not terribly useful.

Back in university, I studied basically all day long, which was tiresome after long sessions of study, even if with friends. My great superpower is that it used to just take me ~10 seconds of resting with my eyes closed to feel a huuuuge boost of energy that lasted for 1-2 hours. After that boost expired, I just did it again.

Incredibly useful.

My super annoying power is a sense of smell similar to the person in the post. I can smell ants, roaches and sick humans. I can smell all kinds of things and it has its uses. I can small bad food and mold a day or so before it is apparent to others.

The downside is that I can small all kinds of things such as horrible BO that others can't. I can smell when women are menstruating. I can smell so many things that others can't that I'm jealous of people who just smell things normally.

To disappear without anyone knowing.

Apparently, criticizing inaccessible content.

Tsk, tsk, OP.

i dont feel anything when i have caffeine. so i can drink Unfathomable amounts of tea :D

I can move my scalp and wiggle my ears. Nobody else I've met seems to be able to.

I constantly drop stuff and catch it mid-flight like a spiderman and there's never anyone seeing it.

I don't consider any part of my personality as a super power, although I am aware I have a few oddities on me.

• Smells play a very big part of my reality.

I can "smell" a shift in air humidity. This led to me learning I can cook by my nose, as I can smell the very onset of burning or low content of salt or spices.

Anyone else can smell crickets?

• it was always easier to maintain a memory if I translate it into an image.

I gave differents colours in my mind to the days of the week, I color coded my emotions in order to know how things are inside my head and I have a colour bar to range my dialogue intensity to other.

• noticing something is "wrong" around or out of place always seemed easy, be it because there is a sound too much or missing or something is somewhere it doesn't belong or missing

I always thought these were normal things, growing up. Just like having a narrator voice in my head (this one comes really handy when reading a book; all character have a voice and the narrator has another).
