I can run any piece of machinery with an hour of goof around time. Doesn’t matter what it is. Let me poke around it for an hour or so and I’ll have all the controls and most quirks figured out.

Sadly it’s useless because employers won’t give me a chance to prove it.

I’m a ridiculously good mimic - if I hear a sound I can often immediately repeat it; crow call, human voice, chickens. Anything in my limited vocal range. Not after the memory fades, but really so close right after. Once in the car one of my kids was whining and I do perfectly repeated it that all of them collapsed in laughter, whiner included.

I know the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody.

I can hide my tongue behind my soft palate.

I’ve said to my kids, “Where’s my tongue?”, then opened my mouth and it’s not there.

I can also make a mushy pile of skin in my knee by gathering skin inside the circle of my thumb and index finger (like an ok sign). It feels gross when you push it.

I’m a fun dad.

I can wiggle my little toes independently.

I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 15 seconds. (I had an obsessive phase as a teenager). I don’t think I’ve ever used that skill in my adult life, but they are fun figet toys for when I’m stressed.

I can stop a microwave on zero. Not 1. 0.

I’m strangely good at catching things intuitively (??).

Like, if my kid throws something at me, I can catch it without looking at it. Almost every time, it’s fun

I can read and write the standard galactic alphabet from commander keen

I can bend my fingers between the last phalanx bones

I can make a water droplet sound with my mouth. At first I had to flick my cheek to do it effectively, but nowadays I can do it sneakily without. Great head turner in waiting rooms 😅

I can sit down and calmly read an entire manual from front to back.

The only contests I ever won were an eating contest (6 large Pizzas) and one where I had to correctly identify 6 different brands of Cola in a blind test.
My other biggest strength is extreme long distance endurance. I’m not fast, but I can be “not slow” for 40 hours.

Lockpicking. It sounds useful in theory, but being locked out of something you need (e.g. your house or some container you’re authorized at work) pretty much never happens, and even if you are in this kind of scenario, there’s no shot you’re carrying tools on you 24/7. Still a pretty fun hobby though.

I know the frog mating calls for all species of frogs in my area and volunteer for the local DNR to survey frog populations in my county. It’s a good indicator of water quality.

I took a random amphibian research class as an elective, loved it, and still do it 20+ years later.
