I can pop my clavical by pushing my shoulder toward my back with my opposite hand.
I can inhale through my ass to fart on command.
My thumbs can bend backwards without assistance from the other hand.
I can inhale smoke from a cigarette or pipe or something, and blow it out of my ears (it hurts though; I don't like doing it).
I can kinda wiggle my ears.
I can put my own dick in my own butt, but just the tip.
I can tell when there are electronics turned on around me even if they aren't intended to make noise, because they all seem to give off this kind of almost imperceptible high pitch whine. Not enough to be bothersome, but just enough to know something probably has current running through it.
Same here. But that's basically just good hearing.
I could do that with CRT TVs. Back when we had one, I could always tell when someone was watching TV. No matter where I was in the house.
It's quite normal for kids and teenagers.
Starting in the 20s, your hearing of higher frequencies will degrade and you won't be able to hear CRTs anymore.
When I was 30 I visited someone who had a CRT for gaming, and a 19 year old friend complained about the pitch I couldn't hear. That was the moment I felt old for the first time
I'm over 40 and can still hear CRTs.
Seasonic PC power supplies are good quality, but man, they have some serious coil whine.
As a child I was told by my parents that using headphones (circum aural) would destroy my hearing. They preferred me using earphones (in ear) instead.
I kept using headphones.
I'm way past the teens and can still hear the tubelights (the new ones, only from very close, when other things are silent) and the old flat screen CRT. Also, the whine from the UPS at the previous workplace, which most other couldn't hear, but for me, was pretty loud.
The difference was that my headphone volume tended to be at 10 - 20% while other people went out to dance parties with continuous loud music (I didn't).
Does your UPS not have a fan in it? Mines pretty quiet, but anyone who's not deaf can hear it.
By UPS at work, I meant one that takes up half a server room filled with transformer and battery units. The fans are not loud enough to be heard outside the room. But the high pitched sound (possibly coil whine) could be heard 2 rooms over.
Makes sense. Haven't had a CRT since my teens. Now that I'm in my 30s I want to try it out.
So you didn't had TV growing up?
Oh we did. Upgraded to the hot commodity at the time, a 60 inch LCD.
Ah, sorry, I read that to mean that you've never had a CRT TV so it didn't make sense to me. But now re-reading that I have absolutely no idea how I understood what I understood, that's what happens when you ask stuff online before coffee I guess.
All good friend. I'm sure I said it weird, been drinking and avoiding news today.
Yeah, the electronic device sound is coil whine, mostly produced by power transformers, but a few other things too. Some do it loudly enough or low pitch enough for everyone to hear, others are quiet enough or high pitch enough that only people like us can hear them.
I kinda want a video
I can also hear the noise that some batteries make when they get charged.
My sisters can do 1 and 3, and like i said in my other comment, it makes my skin crawl
This person and your sister should look into EDS, its one of the main symptoms.
I didn't know women could have Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes
