What special ability do you posess that most people don’t have?
I can sense years if not decades before anyone else which celebrities are creeps, rapists, rscist or asshole.
Bill Cosby
R. Kelly
Marilyn Manson
Morgan Freeman
Chris Brown
Woody Allen(no wait that’s too easy)Allan Baldwin
Johnny Depp
Thre guy from Ramstein
The what’s his name since guy
Elon Musk
And so on. I hated them all since forever and knew somthing is not quite right with them.
The only cases I was shocked was James Franco and Kevin spacey.
Do you have any future bets?
Yea. Chris Pratt is one day going to beat/abuse his wife.
I can see that
Morgan Freeman? Am I missing something?
It’s somewhat well know that he is very abrasive in public with fans that solicit him. I believe that is what is being referred to in this context. I am unaware of any additional “ass-hole-afications” he possesses though.

Seems you hate many people… may be it is just confirmation bias.
damit! well thanks a lot for ruining my superpower 😒
I find that I’m really calm in emergency situations. When someone (including myself) gets hurt, I have a way of being the guardian in the room that stays calm and gets things done.
I broke my wrist pretty bad at the start of the year, to the point that I had surgery done and now have a metal plate and 7-8 screws. When it happened, I was oddly in fucking zen mode–despite the pain. I called my wife calmly, instructed someone to call an ambulance for me (made sure to specify non-emergency since it was a closed fracture), and made jokes at the hospital and in the ambulance. I was even taking selfies during all of the hospital procedures so that I could document it.
Outside of that, I’m an anxiety and ADHD-riddled mess that can barely make a decision on what snack to eat, and feels like he’s productive at nothing.
This sounds like my fiancé. She’s also riddled with anxiety and adhd which actually makes sense. She spends everyday and every moment bouncing around in her head analyzing every little thing and possibility that when something does actually happen she’s ready for it.
It definitely ties in to how our ADHD brains work. You’re right, it’s like we’ve prepped for every scenario our whole lives. It reminds me of the Futurama episode where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee.

Good bot. TIL about piped.video!
The ability to remember the lyrics to basically any pop song from 1990s-2010s
I think there’s a gameshow for you to make some money off of this power
Analytical skills and working memory (RAM)
I know what time is it pretty much all the time, with tolerance of 5 minutes, usually I’m in tolerance of ~3 minutes or less.
I’m like that with elapsed time, also to within about 5 mins.
Ask me what I did yesterday? No fucking clue.
I can go anywhere there is alcohol present and not drink it.
Teach us your ways.
I can figure out how most software and mechanical systems work by poking around them.
Lemmy guess, reverse engineering is your career?
No that sounds more fun than what I do. I help big orgs adapt XR (like vr headsets) to their workflows.
When baking, I pick the right amount of butter, down to 2 gram accuracy.
I can quickly, with minimal info, triage the work/inconvenience ratio of any given leisure activity and determine whether it is vaible as entertainment.
Hardly a super power, but I can rather accurately when meat is done by judging firmness of it. It’s what you get when you cook it frequently
Grit. Most people think I have some sort of innate natural ability with everything I do. In reality, I just persevere through difficulty and failure, as many times as it takes to arrive at success. The downside is that I have a decent number of things I have tried that I probably should have given up on sooner.
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 kind of have the same thing! We have hearing tests at my place of work and the tests show I have above-average hearing, and it does translate outside the tests as well. It’s really nice to be able to hear the intricacies of music for instance.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t translate to speech, and I often struggle to comprehend what people are saying, and it gets even worse when it’s in something that’s not my native language… It’s like I can hear the sounds people are making, inflection and all, but I can’t quite form what the entire thought is.
Exactly! Unless I know what language they are speaking in advance, it takes a few seconds of listening for the words to appear out of the noise. Honestly, pretty damn annoying when you’re on a call. I have to record all of them to be safe.
For me, remembering numbers; like ID numbers, part numbers, phone numbers, etc. When I worked as a parts guy at a shop, I would frequently be able to bring up the exact part that fits the customer’s machine assuming I had looked it up once or twice before. If it was something I hadn’t looked at in a while I’d still usually double check fitment, but I probably had a 99% accuracy on part numbers.
I’m able to guess plot points in movies before they happen. This includes guessing how the kid keeps the family from eating the meal in Troll 2 and guessing the kind of sword Excalibur was in Sharknado 6.
I’m very good at finding four-leaf clovers. Its a skill i developed in little league baseball when the coach would always put me in right field, which the kids never hit to because it was little league. So i just stared at the ground and looked for 4-leaf clovers. I kept finding them all throughout my childhood, and my parents alwats told me i’d diluted the luck from one of those things so much that they each only gave me enough luck to find the next 4-leaf clover.
