What's your really pointless super power?

[MyTaupeHare]

I can tell, just from a photo of their face, if a person has a lisp.

I have yet to find a use for this undoubted super power.

What's your really useless super power?

I’m brilliant at folding laundry. It was the only domestic skill that my ex MIL acknowledged I possessed.

I'm excellent at picking things up with my toes. You'd be amazed how rarely it's useful.

I can guess quantities eg fruit, veg etc just by looking or holding the bag they’re in.

I can also look at change in a tin and know within a few pence how much is there.

I can tell which seeds are bad seeds on mario super stars

I have found my people! 😁

Me too!!

I can raise my eyebrows independently of each other. I can make them jump up and down to a tune for example. Try it.

I can lick my own nose. It doesn't often come in handy, but it's nice to know I can.

Apart from I really can barely swim!

I can eyeball the most perfectly sized and shaped Tupperware box from the drawer, first time. Useless, because a larger one would do just as well.

My totally not useless superpower, however, is inventing a flawless system of storing boxes with matching lids 😇

I'm another upside down reader. I read incredibly fast the right way up and still faster than the majority of people upside down. It is however super useful as I can read things at the same time as someone is holding it to read themselves.
DHs superpower is watching the start of Grand Designs and knowing how much it will cost and what will go wrong in the building as soon as they show the concept.

I can lift/ move very full (to the brim) glasses of liquid without spilling. Mum is the same so it's obviously genetic.

I can also tell within millimeters if things are flat/level/central. Useful for putting pictures up but not much else. Though saying that I work in design so perhaps it comes up. The skill very much predates the job though.

I can colour match accurately from memory with no sample. Its only once been useful when I found a random wedding item that perfectly matched my bridesmaids dresses.

I can tell if a baby is a boy or girl just by their face.

I can guess a well known song from the first few bars.

Knowing what my cat wants to eat. Like whether she's gone off the brand she's been eating for the last four years of her life.
Just kidding.

My daughter can say sentences backwards, so that if you record it and you play it forwards, it sounds like what she was saying. I find this totally amazing. Reached out to a researcher who got back to us and said being able to reverse sentences phonetically is incredibly rare.

Here she is responding to some random sentences, unrehearsed, last year

But it's completely useless.

Is reading upside down rare? I can read upside down just as well as right way up. It's useful to read comments people are writing about your responses in interviews :D

I can smell when the cat is about to be sick. Unfortunately I can’t do anything to stop him.

I've never thought of it as being odd, but people react oddly when they realise I'm doing it!

I can make one eye look forward and turn the other one into my nose.

I can, too! I can make one point Northeast and the other Southwest, as well.

I can also do both.
Have found reading upside down useful in a job to check out people's notes, but they're not usually revelatory - although I did manage to notice I was being made redundant before the words came out of my boss's mouth which helped me to remain "relatively" composed (ie not blub uncontrollably)

Intuition. Also knowing that when bad things happen, good things eventually follow.

I can read upside down too. Also annoyingly I can hear electricity.

@HighPrecisionGhosts me too!!
