Ask Lemmy

im not kidding when i drink milk, my stool ends up with blood. I thought I was lactose intolerant but I do need to check.

So far with lactose free milk im okay! so i can still eat cereal :)

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)

Imagine in your head a scene on the ocean near a dock with a sailboat. The wind is light and there are small waves lapping against the shore, rocking the boat.

Well, I mostly can’t do that. Not much of a minds eye. If I really focus I can do it but there isn’t any detail, and my mind doesn’t fill in background.

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.

Not myself, but my wife. We live in the country side with two cats, and they have a cat flap, 24/7 access. My wife can smell a dead mouse nearly from the second it's dead. She complained last week about it smelling like death in our hallway, and we couldn't find the source. It took two days for me to smell it, and then it was gone a few days later. We think it died in the ceiling, so couldn't do much about it. But her smell for death is crazy!

I can pop, or reverse pop my ears at will. Where most people talk about chewing gum to pop their ears on a plane I can push out and suck them in to change the pressure at will. It's useful to help regulate how much noise gets in (in a small way) too.

I can smell moulds that nobody else can smell; at least for several more weeks until the moulds get mouldy enough.

It's basically the most pointless superpower. I can smell the cereal in the cupboard and tell my wife that it's gone bad, but she won't smell it so she'll eat it and then nothing bad happens except possibly to her gut microflora

I have weirdly thick skin on and especially under my feet, so I can walk barefoot on ice and snow and not feel cold.

I can pop my ankles almost non stop since around 2 years ago for some reason (no pain or anything), lol

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 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 have a forked tongue
• I once hammered the back of my sinuses hard enough to draw blood
• I can make my shoulder blade pop out
• I can keep my eyes open for 5-10 minutes
