Ask Lemmy

I can pop my ears whenever I want, like someone else mentioned. Handy on flights, but I haven't been able to teach my kids how. If I forget to blink for a bit and then blink involuntarily when my eyes itch, my jaw snaps shut also involuntarily, causing my teeth to snap together. I can roll my tongue, which is apparently a genetic thing. I can hear high frequency sounds, like bats, and rodent repellents. It can be painfully loud when noone else around me can hear them, so they have a degree of disbelief if I mention it.

I have a few

A Dexa scan I had done revealed that I have an incredibly dense skeleton in the top 1% of the US national database. It sounds neat but it does absolutely nothing to stop all the soft tissue damage that sports accumulates.

A genetic test revealed I have the super taster gene, some things taste godly but mostly things people like taste bad to me. Coffee, beer, wine for instance are all repulsive.

I have no refractory period. I can pretty much have sex as long as I want and cum over and over again. Record for a single session was 19 with a kinky femdom I used to play with. Despite what all of those female rap songs tell you, there actually aren't very many women that are ready for Mr all night when he shows up.

I heal incredibly fast, I had major surgery and I blew past all the normal milestones for recovery.

I have central heterochromia in both eyes which I'm told is attractive

I also likely have the genes for FNSS (familial natural short sleep) which basically just means that I am genetically predisposed to only require 4 to 5 hours Sleep a night to feel completely refreshed.

I think it's pretty wild that the body will just accept exogenous cross-sex hormones and start using them without issue.

EDIT: well, a caveat would be that cross-sex hormones would cause gender dysphoria for cis populations, and their brains don't function as well on them, but I meant more like even a cis person's body will grow boobs on estrogen or grow thick dark hair and develop stronger body odor on testosterone. It's just wild the body is so adaptable, though maybe it shouldn't be surprising since most people have all the hormones, just in varying amounts.

Mentally perceive sounds as color. I don't get the visual effect as with true synesthesia but more like my mind says "that sound is blue" when I hear it.

My neck clicks whenever I turn to the right.

Sneezing when I eat too much, typically 3 times.

When I eat a few dill pickles, my scalp tingles. It's mostly a pleasant sensation.

• If I blow my nose too hard when I’m sick I get pink eye
• I sneeze when I walk outside on a sunny day

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 get a searing pain up the side of my face if I yawn incorrectly
