That happened so long ago that we wouldn't even call those people "human".

So if I get this right, your dad turned homosexual from his babysitter... Then proceeded to have two, presumably biologic, kids?

If it was just a few colors in vaguely the right order I'd believe it a coincidence, but here we have:

  • At least 4 colors in the correct order (blue, green, pink, brown, yellow/orange)
  • An eye brick in the perfect location and orientation
  • Correct visual ratios of blue to green to pink
  • Correct general silhouette (squat and rounded)

Verdict : the photographer knew what they were doing!

I don't know how to explain it... Like if you tried to bring your jaw backwards but without actually moving it? I think it's the same thing as the "ear rumbling" others have mentioned. I've been doing it since I was very young so I don't even remember how I learned it.

My husband used to work night shifts. When he came home in the wee hours of the morning he would get undressed in the dark, so as to not wake me up. If he happened to make a loud noise like dropping his phone, banging his belt buckle, etc, I would wake up seeing a specific pattern "behind my eyes", so to speak, triggered by the noise. With time I realized the pattern changed depending on the nature of the noise!

Your spectrum analyzer pulled double-duty!

(not OP) I do it by clenching a muscle in my inner ear. If I sustain the clenching for a few seconds, the ringing goes away. It works slightly better for my right ear than my left ear.

Same! The good news is that in real life there is an abundance of reference materials, but little time to parse them. So this skill is MUCH more useful. I have legit had coworkers tell me that my ability to quickly navigate long complex documents to find the one paragraph that applies to our situation is a superpower.
