I personally have finished three chapsticks from top to bottom. (using them correctly, not eating them.)

Feels silly but I’m jazzed about my pen hitting the end of its ink life this week.

Also I can write my name super small.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Damn that’s itty bitty

[–] dgilluly@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Learning React JS or at least a bit of it.

Didn't realize until recently that since I knew a bit of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS that it wasn't like learning a new language. It was essentially like learning a new way to mix aspects from all three.

I committed to sleeping in a silk bonnet every night, and my hair is so much nicer now :)

One time as a 19-year-old, I planned out an entire Traveler campaign in the span of two weeks. 46 planets, each with distinct cultures, local flora and fauna, and a unique questline for each one. There was an overarching plotline about a Doctor Sinestar abducting people and stealing tech. I basically spent two weeks in my room furiously typing from when I woke up until I fell asleep at my keyboard, ignoring my bodily functions until my body forced me to take care of it. It was a race against burnout, and I won, but at what cost?

I regularly finish the ink of a Bic pen.

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 days ago

they taste awesome, right??

[–] TinyLittlePuni@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

I can wiggle my ears

That's easy. I did that this weekend!

(using them correctly, not eating them.)

Oh. Uh. Nevermind.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I can hum and whistle at the same time. Dogs always snap to attention and look at me when I do it lol

[–] FlyingSpaceCow@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Can you harmonize with yourself?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Huh damn just gave it a more concerted effort and I can get them pretty much in sync/harmonized haha. It feels so weird!

Sample

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Nah don’t got enough control for that though sometimes it gets close on accident. Whistle I can bend the pitch a little bit, but mostly sharp/flat. Can’t really shift full on notes easily

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

It’s really easy! Hum using the back of your throat (it’s bassy) while pursing your lips, you use the air to push the whistle. You don’t have a lot of control over your tones but it’s fun.

[–] DoGeeseSeeGod@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How many you finish by eating them?

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Most of that was in my youth so I don’t know. at least 10

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I 100%-ed FFX-II. I don't recommend this.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

I was watching a friend who was trying to get all the blue mage spells and I was baffled my his level of dedication. I didn't even unlock that class...

I know RPGs are grindy sometimes, but X-2 wasn't enjoyable to me, at all. 2/10, more Rikku.

I admire your dedication.

I managed to keep the same pair of sunglasses for nearly 20 years.

I lost them when I was helping my sister move and her mother-in-law mistook them for hers. By the time we figured it out she couldn't find them.

I can consistently separate the chocolate from both waffles without breaking any of them with Hanutas. And I can do the same for Prinzenrolle but with slightly less consistency. The latter are more dependend on temperature.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I finished Heavy Barrel on one credit, in the exact same time it took Ride the Lightning to play through on a walkman.

[–] marighost@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

I'm really good at tearing away paper towels from the toll with one hand

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can get my tongue inside my nose from the inside. Helps cleaning out the nose and nasal passages.

I was a curious kid and can do this for a long time. I found out later that this is an established yoga technique called "Khechari Mudra".

There is even a Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khecar%C4%AB_mudr%C4%81

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Wow. I dislike that greatly.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm downtown right now. For me that's big. I hate the city. It feels like one big cage and there's too many people. This whole time I just want to run away and let them throw me in jail for skipping jury duty but I'm keeping it together. So that's a w I guess

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That's awesome.!
