What are some unconventional and/or practically useless skills you have or want?

 

I really wanna be able to pick locks. It's not really a practical skill to have unless I wanna become a burglar (I don't) but it'd be fun. Sadly, it's stupid illegal just to own a set of picks where I live and I'm still trying to figure out where I can buy some to use educationally in my spare time.

I can burp my full name (in parts of course, I have a lot of names) and the alphabet.

I have THE best memory for useless things.

I get really bad headaches that let me pretty reliably predict the weather.

I can Pogo stick with no hands. I'm sure this will come in handy many times in my life

[Emily]

I have piano fingers, as they say, and I can hold a bunch of different stuff in one hand without a problem. 

 

I can tune people out all the while pretending that I'm hearing every word they say.

Photographic and auditory memory...I see it, I hear it, I can recall it. Even if I'm sleeping. When I did go to school that was how I passed, I slept all day and aced tests and quizzes for my grades. 2350 of 2400 on the SATS and a 147 IQ on a timed Cia IQ test. Also taught myself organic chemistry (level 600 course in universities) when I was in high school chemistry so I could take the American chemistry association exam for a 40k a year scholarship. Other useless skills as far as my career goes and whatnot, steganography, reverse engineering malware, skilled botanist (genetic botany), and a knowledge of performance automotive tuning and rally car racing.

Absolute pitch. Knowing Waser's name.

[Chappy]

I for some reason can pack a lot of things into small bags.

If you're a professional musician that's not useless at all

I'm not anymore. It's actually really really annoying. Was going more with the unconventional than the useless

[Waser Lave]

I can touch my nose with my tongue. Not a massively useful superpower except for eating petits filous without a spoon.

 

Knowing Waser's name.

 

Allegedly.

How many names do you have? :0

Is his name Badger?

 

 

I can take my jaw and hips out of socket. I can also twist my arm/shoulder nearly 360 degrees around. But those are more like curses of stupid genetics than skills.

[Swar]

How many names do you have? :0

Not counting my first name, 5 :V It was a pain to write until I finally came up with a signature lol

[Ali]

More than my life is worth to say

WAT

I have 2 first names and 2 last names but 5 first name, my god

If it makes you feel better, I have 4. :v How did you shorten it for your signature? Exclude certain ones?

Well, that's disappointing.

1 first name, 5 last names (this confuses me, because technically "last" should only be one, I guess surname is better? idk lol)

I just use my first name and my first surname, which is my favorite one anyway! It looks like my great-grandfather's signature, that's where I got the inspiration from

I go by many names. Some people call me Maurice 'cause I speak of the pompatus of love, other people call me Patooti: The Raven Prince of Lindisfarne, yet others call me Dave.

 

(How often is too often?)

I see you also go by many names.

Stop it, I'm dying.

It's not our fault if people keep setting us up for it.

[Shane]

I can twirl sticks around, and balance things like brooms, chairs etc. On my chin and hands easily. Another skill that I have is tossing balls into the air and catching them on the other side of my body, back to front and vice versa.

[Rocket]

Does overreacting and jumping to conclusions count?


I am really good with numbers, yes it comes in handy but I always remember old phone numbers and license plates for no reason.

[Elindoril]

I'm good at rhythm games:

[Salade]

I see sounds as a 360 degrees "image". Mostly the "image" is either yellow or purple. Not a skill per se, because there are almost no advantages. Still neato.

That happens when you have 2 ears
