I can wiggle my ears
I can pop mine by using the muscles that open close the escutcheon tubes
I actually enjoy* fucking around with older-ish computers and making them kinda useful again

Its a good hobby. I have a 14 year old Iomega network drive that I loaded Debian onto. It will serve audio or samba shares without overloading the 256MB of memory
Narrator: "However, that Vic-20 would never be useful ever again, despite what he told himself."
Making a paper airplane that looks like a star trek shuttle
Does it fly tho?
Yep. Long as there isn't an insane amount of wind. Light breeze can carry it quite a ways
Honestly, I think this skill could easily translate to one of those "lore keeper" or "continuity expert" jobs people have on TV shows.
Script supervisor?
They must have been one of the main markets for Polaroid. They must have been dejected when production stopped.
My S-tier abitity to hyperfocus on learning useless things to the detriment of everything else.
Well, if there's a choice between learning something relatively tedious and completely useless, and something relatively tedious that's urgently needed... I know what I'm going to pick!
Oooh, an installation manual for a 1935 refrigerator!
Oooh shiny!
I can build majority of flat pack furniture without the instructions, first time, every time.
Do you have any leftover screws?
Never! Unless they gave me too many...
But seriously I don't use the self tappers or nails they give you as they awful, made of soft cheese.
Astounding!
I'm in awe of you. Genuinely
I can throw dog treats with absurd accuracy and nearly always bounce/spin/toss them right near my dogs. Until I point it out.
I knew someone that worked at an Audi dealer that can recognize everyone's voice and associate their purchase.
I called him 4 years later to inquire about a new Audi and he asked me how my TT was treating me and if I was ready for a bigger car(I mentioned that I was going to start a family soon).
Born politician right there. Seriously, some of the shittiest villains in politics would nonetheless wow you with how they can legitimately work an entire room full of people, remember names, make you feel special, etc.
Honestly, if I was in the market in buying another car, I would love that kind of personalization.
I have this same skill, but with voice actors.
My SO can identify all actors by voice (she follows all films by ear because she's playing some kind of Candy Crush game — several of them, because she runs out of levels). And as a lot of them are foreign, and dubbed, she'll tell me that this was the guy that was doing the voice in (litany of roles).
Of course I have to pick films accordingly. She's never seen Tenet.
Me with anime
Granted I watch mostly >decade old stuff dubs, so it's mostly the same 30 VAs in every show
If it's an elf woman that ~~may or may not be particularly~~ is either extremely horny or ace, i have a pretty solid guess of the English voice actor...
What, I said guess 🤣. Maybe check again I'll try
I know the year most Disney movies came out. Not all of them, but probably more than I should know. Generally, I know the year of release for most movies I have seen.
When it comes to remembering useful things, I might as well have dementia.
