I can't think of any truly rare skill, but my semi-rare skills are:

  • I can identify many species of wild animals and plants (reading lots of field guides and taxonomy books)
  • I have research skills related to optics, chemistry, biochemistry, etc. (from academic studies up to PhD)
  • I can play my hands like a flute (lots of practice, to the detriment of those around me)
  • Clone and grow mushrooms (YouTube videos and online forums)
  • Put my legs behind my head (No idea. I am not very flexible but this specific thing I can just do)
  • I am currently working to develop my electronics skills by reading, watching videos, and building projects at home.

I can imagine you with your leg behind your head while playing your hands like a flute, only pausing to chew some mushrooms :)
