I can think myself into immediately stopping hiccups.
I can also puke on demand.

I can hear the muscles in my eyes when I look from side to side.
This happened to me when I took antidepressants for the first time, as well as being incredibly sensitive to sound, to the point where I could hear electricity.
Not being hyperbolic at all. To test this my partner and I tested a bunch of devices, she flicked either a dummy-switch, or one powering an appliance, and with my back turned, I could tell her if it was on, off, or she hit a dummy switch.
Ultimately I couldn't stand being on antidepressants, I felt like my IQ dropped 10 points.
Being dumb does seem to be the key to happiness

I can pop my right peck on command. I can pop my left peck only if I concentrate as hard as possible.
i can bend my fingers the other way quite far, it always freaks people out a little when i do that
my feet get hot very easily, to the point where in the summer the only "shoes" i can wear is flip flops or sandals, anything more and i feel like they're on fire in minutes

I can pop my neck at will thanks to a childhood judo injury. Thanks sensei!
I also have ridiculously sensitive hearing where I constantly pick up background noise, like a radio with its gain set too high. It's hard to hear people talk over the noise of a common house fan in the room.
I can make the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign, but only with my left hand.
If I leave my stomach empty for too long, I can feel (and hear!) gas bubbles (?) coming up in my throat lining.
I have a rare condition called EBS (sometimes called butterfly skin). I am lucky enough to have a non life threatening form so it is usually only a problem when I walk/exercise in above 20°C temperatures. And I usually get benefits (I rarely have to queue for things)
How does it help with queueing? Like people will universally allow you to go upfront?
Probably can skip queues, as a way to accommodate those with medical conditions.

That's kind of crazy what happens with your ears with the pc monitor and all! Can you use over-ears headphones?

I have super crooked pinkies, can perpetually pop my ankle, and can retract my testicles back in my body?? Idk if other people can do that last one but all my buds in hs promised they couldn't
I can also slide my balls up inside, sometimes it happens by itself too. Can feel them under my pubes

I can fold my ears in on themselves and they will stay that way until I smile.
Basically my ears are just super soft because I was always playing with them as a kid so the cartridge never really hardened up like it did for most other people.
As I have gotten older and played with my ears less they don't stay folded as long but I can still do it.
