This is my time to shine, my body is full of useless, I can:

gleek intentionally (saving people a search: it’s causing the salivary glands under your tongue to shoot saliva, people often do it unintentionally when yawning)
open my jaw wide enough that it goes out of socket, and twofer I can then move it side to side and produce a loud popping noise
bend my thumb down to my wrist
cause my heart rate to spike for short periods even when at rest
make a three leaf clover with my tongue
click my tongue extremely loudly

By shoot, does it have force or do you mean it just comes out?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

It has “force”, but it’s not very impressive, I can shoot saliva in approximately a 1ft / 30cm arch.
