I don't think that's relatively minor to most

Public transport would count for USians, maybe cheap flights for Asians

Pleeeeeeaaasse. It's just one tiny little private jet and maybe one little tiny pilot to fly me. I hate traveling by air so much. What could be less minor? I think you should reconsider.

I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can't seem to figure it out.

I'd settle for a non-shy bladder (a social bladder? An extroverted bladder?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I'll trade you! I have to pee about every 20 minutes due to malnurishment as a kid.

Smooth joints, by the time I was 14 I already had clicky joints and now if I stand or sit in the wrong way I need to click them back in

My ankles, wrists, fingers and hips pop so loud the secret police would hear it from down the road and bust me in the attic

Executive function.

A properly functioning neocortex.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.

The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Make an OK symbol with your middle finger

Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)

Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)

Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is

If it works, it'll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it's still muffled, it's likely stiff.

Which finger do you use other than your thumb? I use my rong finger, but I've seen others that use the middle. I'm sure some wierdo is out there mastering the pointer thumb technique

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

the trick is long fingers. the longer, the bigger the snap

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

I feel like long fingers would also help out in other facets of life.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Can confirm, got long fingers, can reach the bottom of most jars.
