Reveal something totally unexpected about yourself - Shock and awe awaits - Don't powerlevel

:biggrin: There you go, I'm this ignorant about the topic.
Eat some more meat man, no homo.
My parlour trick in my early thirties was to type rapidly on my computer, and then turn around and have a conversation with someone, still typing away, not even so much as glancing at the monitor. I could even catch a typo, go back and correct it, still with my eyes on the person I was talking to.
Oh wow, thought I was the only person who could do that (well, more so the only person I'd encounter who could do that). I tend to envision my sentences in my minds eye before I type it, not to mention memorize where every key is on my keyboard so I know what I hit the wrong key and can backspace.

People around me often assume that I have a photographic memory because I can read something once and later explain it to others in great detail.

In reality I was an autistic kid (shocking, I know) and I used to rehearse all conversation either in front of a mirror or in my mind. And while I don't need to practice basic small talk anymore, I never really grew out of it. A good chunk of my daily inner monologue consists of me going through stuff I've read like I'm explaining it to someone. I think what kind of tone I should use to match the subject matter, which words to choose, when to pause for a dramatic effect and all the other extremely autistic things. I don't do it on purpose, it's more of a bad habit. Like a constant backround noise of my life.

I feel bad when people compare their memory to mine, thinking there's something lacking about them, but I'm too embarrassed to admit what I do to ever come clean.

My age. Anytime I mention it, or allude to it in a conversation, said conversation is brought to a halt to address it. As long as I don't let any outdated cultural references slip, I can easily blend in with teenagers. It's not something I usually like talking about because it feels like humble bragging, but my friends and acquaintances do it for me. "Guess how old he is!" is a common line to introduce me to new people.

So how old are you? Are you one of those people who don't seem to age at all? Do you have a good sleep routine?

Tax: Sorry, I don't know what would be something that people wouldn't expect at all about me.

I have some of this superpower fuckery. I can smell the leather on sandals from 6-10 feet away, smell the iron in things rusted or otherwise and generally detect how rusted the iron is, differentiate the type of food based on smell, smell a lot of other shit. Its got to the point where people say I mightve been a sniffer dog for the cops in nother life.

I can also whistle very well, upto 3 octaves, can perform stuff like the 1812 overture, hungarian rhapsody no 2, dies irae requiem, specialist from persona 4 and a lot of other stuff in between upto 95% accuracy.
Its amazing to see another person mention their "smelling" super power.... I can be 2 floors down in my office and when my kid opens up the fridge and makes a ham sandwich I can almost immediately smell it. When we go over to a friends house and they are cooking dinner, without looking I can almost pick out every ingredient in the dinner that they are cooking. It's like when I close my eyes and inhale I see it in my mind, I don't know how else to explain this. Through out my entire life up until my wife, oral sex has almost been impossible for me due to people's general care that might be ok for most but something that I can't get near myself. Thankfully my wife who understands me goes that extra mile and because of this I fucking devour her pussy. At work I can have an Indian customer (not being racist) walk in and immediately identify him or her as Indian due to their culture, cooking and spices they use. Once, I was at work and my co-worker who was across the office had a cut, I asked if he was ok, he asked why? I said did you cut yourself and he was shocked. The iron in blood is some of the strongest scents to me possible, its wild. It got to a point where it bugged me so much I decided to go on a coke spree for 3 months to try and dull my senses and fuck up my sinuses a bit, all I did was get a little hooked and spent 6 months getting myself off while my smelling sense didn't even dull a bit. I haven't been into a public mall in 4 years and anytime we need groceries I either order for delivery or nicely ask my wife to grab them. Its fucked and its so weird that I can't even explain it to a conventional doctor...no idea what to do because being able to "smell" and tell when a woman is on her period or someone who hasn't showered in 2 days 30+ feet away is not how I really want to live my life and I've gone as far as stuffing my nose with cotton if I have to go out in public and when people ask I just make up some weird BS reason why I'm weird for doing that.

I really feel you right now. Super senses are a form of torture. Humans just don't have the neurological software to handle the hardware that other animals have. It's like handing a running chainsaw to a five year old; they don't have what's needed to use and control the thing, and it turns into a massive shitshow for all concerned.

I'm 25. I don't think looking super young at my age is that remarkable, but others seem to disagree. My sleep routine has varied wildly during my life. I think it's probably more down to genetic factors since my immediate family also look rather youthful. Ought to take sleep routine and diet more seriously if I wanna hold onto my gift for the long-term.

I highly recommend that. I have had a disastrous sleep routine for years, and even though I'm much younger, I now look like I'm in my mid thirties, when I'm actually in my late twenties. Friends & relatives tell me I look fine, but I'm convinced they're just trying to make me feel good about myself.
I'm convinced sleep has a huge impact on youth and beauty, due to my awful sleeping habits I have on more than one occasion been awake through the whole night and I looked noticeably more horrid in just the span of a few hours. Take care of that gift!

I'm curious though, has your sleep schedule ever been that bad?

(by the way, if you're interested in improving your diet to maximize or preserve your youth, here's some information that you might find interesting:

out of the 10 people i have successfully choaked out, 7 of them were stepfathers, I still dont know if that says more about my ability to choak people out or my mother's ability to pick men,

My sleep routine was mostly bad in my late teens when I'd often pull all nighters for the hell of it, and yeah I'd temporary look absolutely repugnant as a result. Yet to watch the first video, but I've heard a bit about Emoto's water theory. A few years ago I encountered it and wrote it off as bullshit, but now I'm a little more open minded about spirituality and the metaphysical.

There are more recent discoveries on water, this woman from New Zealand does similar experiments and they're really interesting:

There's also a scientist who discovered so called EZ water, or the 4th state of water, which also has great implications for the water in our own bodies:
 
Believe it or not, I am NOT actually the former ruler of Kyrat! Yeah, I know -- hard to believe! But hey, you'll just have to take my word for it...
