I guess we are only talking about the oddly specific ones so.
I like acidic foods so much, that I drank a cup of vinegar once, and survived.
My teeth are also weirdly resistant to decay.

This sounds exactly like me. Drinking vinegar, loving acidic foods, no cavities.

I can count almost perfect seconds. Most people think they can count seconds until they try to prove it.
Like, give me a stopwatch. I can count seconds to within an average of .05 of a second.
I can do this consistently over a long period of time, i gave up counting when i tested it.
It's because i used to have 3 clocks in my living room, and they all used to tick at different times. I guess from when the battery was connected and it would create all these different rhythms.
After many years of hearing these rhythms and noticing the different rhythms that would be made as we changed the batteries over time, i ended up being able to tap the rhythm out on a table/in my head etc and now its just ingrained into my head.
taTA ta... taTA ta... taTA ta...
Absolutely useless.
I've spent too much time staring at the clock, full of anxiety, watching seconds pass. I've internalized the rhythm, just like with a song.
It's a cool trick, sometimes. People get a kick out of me calling out the microwave timer from across the room.

Even one clock ticking in a room is enough to drive me mad. I'm not sure if having three would be better or worse. Adding some rhythm to it might help actually.

Does ADHD count? As it has a few superpowers you just can’t turn them on when you want sometimes. It also comes with some kryptonite.

test
I can't stay angry; I have multi-sensory aphantaisa, this comes with not being able to re-experience emotions.
I remember that something made me angry, but I can't relive the emotion. It lets me dispassionately examine the past to see what made me angry and thus work through the trigger and try to reduce it in the future.
There is the downside to this, it is on all emotion, so I also can't re-experience happy emotions either.
I think I may have the opposite, at least some times. If I think about it too much I'll feel the emotion way to strongly which is a problem itself.

Is there some sort of cooldown where you can experience the emotion again after a certain amount of time?
It isn't like that.
e.g. So a situation I get angry / sad about happens. Unless it keeps up the feelings wane over the next few minutes, thinking about the triggering events does not bring back the emotions.....if I want to stay angry, I have to really work at it too keep the emotion going, it is never "worth" the effort.
If one thing makes me angry, and I haven't had a few minutes to let the emotion fade, and something else tips me off then the anger builds at the new thing and fades for the old thing; it just happens faster.
In saying that, I really don't get angry all that often; as I have worked through most of the things that set me off. Except bullying, that still fucks me off to no end.

If I'm understanding umit correctly, it's more like they only experience the emotions of a situation in that situation and memories lack that cognitive association with those emotions.
That is a great way of framing it.
