What is the most useless knowledge or skill that you have?

[Sweetener12]

Mine would be an ability to recognize any tv commercial in 0.0001 seconds

Now considering learning to do Rubin’s cube during this second ‘lockdown’ period. Given I did NONE of my planned first lockdown tasks (I was working full time tbf) this seems a plan.
I actually have an original boxed 1970s ‘magic cube’ as ‘Rubik‘ was a family connection. Think I won’t use that. All colours are sticky back plastic squares and it’s all a bit rickety compared to current versions.
Great recent Netflix documentary about competitive Rubiks cubing. Unexpectedly uplifting.

I always know when it's 10.22pm.

I can recite the alphabet backwards quicker than forwards
I know all of the words to the original Poke- rap
I know all of the words to Gaudete, and I don't know how I know them - I've never actively learned them

Ooh, I am also licensed to build scaffolding towers up to a height of 5.2metres. I have never needed to

I can say supercalifragilisticexpiealidocious backwards.

I can play the piano - by ear but can't read a note. Not one

I can sometimes peel a satsuma whole

• Ladykuga

Me too

Why is that? I always seem to look at clock or phone at 22.22

Plus sometimes 11.11 as well

I can recite the periodic table as well, but only for the elements discovered by 1976, which is when I did O level Chemistry.
I have never had to use this after June 1976

I can tell you what key a pneumatic drill/Blender/other random machine is whirring in as I have perfect pitch.

Hang on.

Do you mean elements continue to be discovered then??

It would seem so, I think we're up to 117 now. Bloomin scientists.

If I hold a pen in each hand I can mirror write with my left hand the word I am writing using my right hand.
I can recite all the books of the bible, in song format, a relic from Sunday School days.

I can tell you all the Kings and Queens of England since at least the Norman Conquest.

Hushabyelullabye - I can ribbet too - useful skill when entertaining 2 year olds - otherwise pretty useless

Useless skills - I can still remember enough of my classical Greek to conjugate luo

@FraughtwithGin

I can sex aubergines.

I can sex dried sardines.

How do you sex an aubergine?

I can turn napkins into Sydney Opera House

I can name most of the major gods/goddess in Greek myth and tell you their roman name. Some of the minor gods as well. Can also name several from the Norse and Egyptian pantheons. This is useful only when watching the chase.

Play any of Steps songs from their debut album and I can sing along word perfect despite not listening to that cd in 20 years. I cannot do this unprompted

Don’t watch lord of the rings or Star Wars with me unless you want to listen to an endless stream of useless trivia instead of the movie.

I can tell you the year a song came out off the top of my head from say 1980 to present although after maybe 2015 I wouldn't be as good because music just went down hill from there. Im especially good with 90s

I can recognise many different species of shark. It's come in ever so handy over the years

I can draw perfect circles and straight lines free hand.
I can measure accurately by eye.
I can turn daisies inside out.
But most useful of all is my ability to recite Peter Pepper at record speed.

Missing Vowels round. I win every time. Can't do Round 2 though, so you don't want me in your team...

I can name all 50 states plus their capitals.
I’ve never even been to the US, but apparently my memory is great at this totally pointless info, but incapable of storing my paypal password!

Algebraic geometry. Can't get more useless than that.

Oh and number theory.

It's lovely to come across so many Only Connect fans

I can do the splits.

I'm a fat unfit almost 46yr old.
