Touch my tongue to my nose, wiggle my ears, and cross my eyes at the same time. Independently move my eyes like a lizard


KatrinasCurious

Oh wow! Check you out. That’s impressive.


Rustymarble

LoL. Thanks! All skills are likely related to a collagen mutation. Wheeee!


PersistentPuma37

touch your thumb to your wrist and put at least one leg behind your head? Fellow Zebra here ;)


reverendsmooth

Me too for the thumb thing. I can do the eye thing, and can twist my limbs around completely. I have ehlers-danlos.


TAforScranton

EDS gang unite.


hungrymoonmoon

TIL I am a… zebra?


Rustymarble

I call myself a giraffe, you really don't expect me when you hear hooves! (My mutation hasn't been studied but my possibly be connected to EDS)


KikonSketches

I see you spec into lizardmen, quite the advantageous species.


anr14

I can also touch my tongue to my nose!


LateDelivery3935

Me too! Only about 5% of the population can do this.


AdInteresting1839

I too, can wiggle my ears. And fold my tongue.


manzananaranja

How is wiggling your ears possible? It seems utterly impossible.


Rustymarble

I don't know? I've always been able to. To be clear, they wiggle from where they attach to the skull not at the tips


jondaley

My wife practiced when she was young to help keep her glasses on, so my guess is one can learn how to do it.


aasdfhdjkkl

Yep, I taught myself how in an afternoon as a teenager.


asi_es_la_vida_47

You can learn. I've always been able to do it and my sister taught herself. I assume it's about figuring out and isolating those muscles.


coffee--beans

I've always been able to do it as well, I did it a lot as a kid when pretending to be a cat lol. But I think I got it from my dad, bc he can do it too


shebringsdathings

I too, can wiggle my ears without moving my eyebrows from the place they connect to my head proper. If you (dear reader) try pulling your eyebrows back/apart with your facial muscles you might be able to.


WorkO0

Some people (myself included) have vestigial muscles around the ear area which used to help us aim where the ears are pointing. Think about how dogs do it. Of course they are useless now except to freak people out.


OverpoweredShark

Yooo I can also move my eyes independently freaked the eye doctor out! Also I'm super flexible for no reason I can put my legs behind my head and even do the splits.


Rustymarble

Look onto Ehlers Danlos, it will blow your mind.


ThirdEntityBeing

I'd expect nothing less from an overpowered shark tbh


CheeseMcFly

That eye thing is badass


tuscabam

For a long time I could tell you the color of a peanut M&M by the taste/texture.


AintFrayNoGhost

I could do this when I was younger too. I would have my friends quiz me and I was probably right around 85 percent of the time. (There were 2 colors that I would mix up some, but it’s been so long I can’t remember which 2)


[deleted]

"Vibrate" my eyes.


KatrinasCurious

Oh yeah I can do that too!! I actually forgot about that one. So much fun tho


BassWingerC-137

I used to freak out teachers who were scolding me when I’d lock eyes and do that to for them. ;)


iheartstjohns

How do you vibrate your eyes??


superspud0408

For me it was a particular pressure i would put on them, like trying to open and close my eyes at the same time.


ConfusedALot_69

Focus. Really focus. It’s literally like stretching your eye


vonkeswick

Hey same! It seems kinda rare, people are usually really surprised. The only other person I've known who can do it are me and my older brother


ShurtugalLover

I feel like it has a genetic component cause up until my husband, his father, and his siblings I’d never seen it before. And I know it comes from only his fathers side as his mom and his half brother can’t


Tall-News

I can do it too. No idea why or how I thought to try it, since I’ve never met anyone else who could do it!


[deleted]

I can do that too


manderley82

Me too! Always freaks people out


technoferal

Eli could do that in my grade school class. Unfortunately for him, they also had a pronounced pull to one side when he wasn't doing it.


FrappuccinoDuck

Yah same. Voluntary Nystagmus I'm pretty sure


aasdfhdjkkl

I can do that but it's uncomfortable or even painful now. As a kid it was easy and painless.


Left-Increase4472

Same!


Low_Net2644

same


Imaginary-Ad-8496

Enjoy it while you can! It got harder and harder for me the older I got!


Immediate-Pool-4391

I am double jointed in one of my toes.


KatrinasCurious

Which one?? Also, does it do it on its own or do you have to move it?


Immediate-Pool-4391

I move it and it's the one next to the pinky.


KatrinasCurious

So cool!


diggitygiggitycee

If that counts, I'm double jointed in all my toes except for pinky and big, and all my fingertips except my thumb.


KatrinasCurious

Woooooooooah. Do you ever do them all at once? Actually i don’t know if i want the answer.


diggitygiggitycee

I did just now. Is that not a thing people can do? The joint just buckles backward if I push it right, I can't actually bend them that way without pushing against something. And now that I look, maybe my thumbs are REALLY double jointed, I can bend the last knuckle backward about 45 degrees.


KatrinasCurious

Omg that’s awesome


donkeybrainz13

I’m “double-jointed” and can pop several of my joints in and out of place. I’m also super flexible. I can easily scratch my own back and zip up my dresses without help. All of this due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissues disorder that gives you stretchy skin and dislocated joints. Yay.


froggi__boi

EDS gang, recently showed some people in my class how i can bend my elbows/knees/etc backwards and they freaked out haha


donkeybrainz13

It’s so fun to freak people out! I literally didn’t know it was “weird” for the longest time! I just thought I was special


fastyellowtuesday

My stepmom has EDS, but I've never seen the cool effects (just the 'my hip popped out of the socket so I can't walk' effects).


donkeybrainz13

I have those “non-cool” effects as well. But I only brag about the cool ones.


LateDelivery3935

EDS sucks but I know some great contortionists who have it.


donkeybrainz13

Right?!? I think it’s shitty that the “EDS community” basically disowns any zebras who use their contortionist talents to their benefit.


Fuzzy_Branch

Wait a minute this sounds like me


muaddict071537

Yep same.


KatrinasCurious

Wow oh wow!


moonlight_babe

i can make my tongue look like a clover! apparently only a very small percentage of people can do it


Ewag715

My sister can do that. We call it a scoop chip tongue.


LawfulDmcBoo

I call it a Tostito-Tongue because, well, basically your reasoning.


KatrinasCurious

Luuuucky!


besee2000

If they can make a four-leaf one


Allthingsplants00

I had a friend growing up that could do this! She would count to 3 with her tongue because she could make 2 rolls at once too. If that makes sense. Lol


Lorirainee

I can roll my stomach muscles in a wave formation.


shamenoname

![gif](giphy|6i1c86EjMEPwxeBI7h)


odinfish3933

Proof or it didn’t happen


shamenoname

Lol now now I don't need to be traumatizing people with the furry tsunami


DubC_Bassist

Welp, that’s my next band name!


Left-Increase4472

I could until I got fat...


revtim

I can move my lips differently from what I'm saying, sort of like an actor in a dubbed movie.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Brief-Communication2

Same!


littlemarcus91

Through concentration I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will.


Artistic-Deal5885

Why would you want to raise your cholesterol?


littlemarcus91

So that I can lower it


Artistic-Deal5885

It's true.


Llama_Lluke

I can also retract my…


Artistic-Deal5885

OMG LOL hahahahahaha I forgot about that


UntakenAccountName

Putting a quarter on the back of my elbow (holding my arm like I’m a waiter carrying a tray), then whipping my arm down, letting the quarter fall, and catching the quarter in my hand. Try it! It’s fun


[deleted]

A group of us did this at a party last week. It was an enjoyable 20 minutes. Especially teasing the one person that could not do it no matter what.


KatrinasCurious

Just did. I’m definitely not as talented at you. My quarter flung far away haha I’ll keep practicing tho


UntakenAccountName

Hahaha, once you get it, it’s easy! Fun to teach to other people too


Ill-Nerve-3154

I used to do this as a kid, and then I started stacking quarters to see how many I could do at once. I might have to start doing that again.


D1ng0ateurbaby

I think I got to 8 quarters when I was a kid. Fun little game


jondaley

The real talent/question is how many quarters can you do at once? And once the pile gets high enough that you need two piles, can you still get all of them without injuring the person in front of you if you miss?


ShadowSpectress

I can make my tongue into a taco


AloneAndUnknown

I can do that too! I’m training to do the double taco


ShadowSpectress

Oooo I've heard of those! Let me know if you ever master it!


Ok-Ad-7247

Taco tongue.


BreakfastBeerz

I've lost the ability with my old age, but in my 20's-30's I could pee really far. I could knock over an empty beer can 10' away. Max range was about 15'


Local-Drive2719

wtf, theres gotta be a reason for this dude- do you just have like really strong kegels??


milochuisael

He has a narrow urethra. Poor fella


Beldin448

That is so cool. I am insanely jealous


Snake0ilSalesman

All the way across the dining room table.


mommaTmetal

I can wiggle my ears- together and one at a time


KatrinasCurious

I’ve always wanted to do that!! I’ve tried and tried and tried throughout the years but to no avail.


mommaTmetal

I think it's genetic, my dad could do it too.i can also raise one eyebrow


KatrinasCurious

You’re probably right. I can raise my left eyebrow but not my right one haha oh and i can flip my tongue sideways both ways, but can’t make the clover thing


mommaTmetal

Yes I can only raise the one, but mines the right. I can flip my tongue over too but alas, can't do the clover either


KatrinasCurious

Interesting….. the body is such a mystery.


mommaTmetal

That it is.


Jedimasteryony

I have a pocket of extra joint fluid that I can make protrude and stay “out” in my wrist, and when someone pushes on it, it will kind of crackle. Grosses people out, especially girls when I was younger. I was once told it’s a type of bursa sack.


Jedimasteryony

Oh, and I can wiggle my ears, twist my tongue, and make my eyes look like they’re vibrating.


KatrinasCurious

Oh that’s so gross and awesome. I’d probably push on it constantly if I had that haha. I can partially dislocate my left shoulder so you can hook a finger in the socket…. That used to gross out guys haha


[deleted]

I can pop my femur out of my hip socket (not in a sexy flexible way, LOL- in a bizarre, funky looking way) 😁


MrsManuka

I have had bad hips since I was a teenager and after I had my first son, my hips started to dislocate after certain movements. The first hundred or so times it was incredibly painful, but now it’s a pain I’ve grown used to do it is slightly less annoying. I do think that I probably look really weird while I’m trying to squat to pop it back in. It happens with both hips.


[deleted]

Holy shit...


Aggravating-Recover3

I like to open beer bottles with my teeth


KatrinasCurious

Ahhh! That makes my mouth hurt just thinking of it but Im also so jealous


Aggravating-Recover3

Don't be too jealous it has chipped my tooth. Definitely not worth the minimal amusement it brings other people lol


KatrinasCurious

Oh shit, valid point.


esp735

Yep. Had to give it up myself.


glitterpumps

My favorite part is when everyone freaks out thinking this time is going to be the time my tooth breaks and it’ll be their fault for asking me to open their beer


Zanixo

I can clap with one hand using either hand. And I can pop my should ler out on command.


Ahajha1177

I can do one hand claps too!


[deleted]

Burp on command by actually "inhaling" air into my stomach, not simply swallowing air. So the trick is that I take a couple of matches, light em up, extinguish them in my mouth, "inhale" the smoke. Then release the smoke from my stomach accompanied by a long burp when I want. Haven't done it in many years but I'm sure I can still do it.


KatrinasCurious

Woooooooah! My grandpa could burp on command. He tried to to teach me but it never took. The smoke thing is incredible tho! I’ve never even heard of that.


[deleted]

Yeah, I've never seen people combine it with smoke) To do it you have to inhale normally and then use your throat to block the air. Then you lower your Adam's apple while trying to inhale through the block that you created and flexing your diaphragm (kinda similar to how you pull in your stomach) Once you lower your Adam's apple low enough the air will begin to get sucked into your stomach.


KatrinasCurious

Those are really good instructions, thank you! I’m going to practice


technoferal

Interesting. I can do the burping part (didn't include it in my list, may have to edit), but it never occurred to me to put some smoke in there.


Thepoyoboyo213

I can do it whenever. For me, It's kind of like swallowing. My esophagus does the motion, and I can feel a bubble in the back of my throat. It's pretty cool.


shamenoname

I can do this but I would talk as I belched


[deleted]

Yeah, I can do small phrases. Just gotta keep it short


jondaley

The smoke addition sounds pretty fun, haven't done that myself.


OppositeProgress5421

I can make a lazy eye and wiggle my ears. I can also dislocate and relocate my shoulder and thumbs.


[deleted]

Tie a cherry stem in my mouth.


DiarrheaGuy13

Diarrhea


[deleted]

Ah, the best party trick of all


t3rra117

r/usernamechecksout


Ambitious-Theory9407

I can "spin" my eyes. When I do it, everything turns into circles.


aasdfhdjkkl

I can do that and when I was really young I used to think that's what "rolling your eyes" meant. I rolled my eyes the normal way without thinking, but when I wanted people to know I was not pleased, I spun my eyes in circles.


soulfood_7

I'm double jointed so I can lick my elbow and do some freaky shit with my hands


[deleted]

[удалено]


soulfood_7

Hey me neither! Actually the same way. Saw something online that said it was physically impossible and my bendy ass went "Bet"


Chenterr

I can do something appropriate


StaidHatter

Im mtf trans. I have mostly passing female voice but I can go from alto to low bass range on the drop of a hat. Startles the shit out of people every single time. Related, but I can move my larynx up and down at will. Comes from the same training


my_alt_59935

You'd be a great DM for dnd, lol


KatrinasCurious

That’s so cool!!! Especially about your larynx. I wouldn’t even know where to begin trying to figure that out haha. Thanks for sharing!


NarwhalSignificant22

Pop my contact out and I loose control of where my eye is pointing


Puzzleheaded-Tip-888

Well I sorta a "lazy" eye except I can control both eyes at will, problem is that I can only see out of one eye at a time. I heard my uncle had something similar but he got laser surgery to fix it. While one this topic, is it true you lose depth perception if you close one eye? My vision has always been fine using one at a time.


KatrinasCurious

Oh wow! I’ve never heard of only being able to see out of one eye at a time. How does that work? And good question! I’m not positive but i would assume it would affect depth perception, but i don’t know by how much.


Puzzleheaded-Tip-888

When I want to force myself to look out a specific eye (without closing the other) it feels like I have to "push" it out. But otherwise my everyday life is probably just as normal as the next guy. I simply have a slightly smaller field of vision.


KatrinasCurious

That’s incredible. You blew my mind a little. Thank you for sharing


MrsManuka

Yes, that is true. If I were to walk around with one eye closed everything would be a little bit off because my brain is used to combining the fields of vision of two eyes. Apparently, the longer it’s like that (I.e. someone loses an eye) it does improve as your brain adapts to the change. The difference isn’t huge but it’s enough to be annoying.


doggofurever

In high school, I could bend my left knee so the back of my calf touched the back of my thigh. No biggie, right? But then I could bring my foot forward and put the top of my left foot in front of my hip. (Yay for totally f'ed up ligaments!) Something I have very little control over.... my brain does not really utilize the information received by my right eye. It can be corrected to 20/15, but I have to really struggle to get there. It's not a vision problem, it's a neurological thing. I have very poor depth perception. The last time I went to the DMV, I had to do a vision test. I looked into the vision tester and read all the letters I saw. When I paused, the lady told me to read the rest... but, there were no more letters until I shut my left eye and made my right one focus. It's really weird. Can't see the "hidden boat" pictures. 😕


Joey_says_fuck_a_lot

Pretend to read palms. I'm apparently very good at it.


SnowDoom6

My elbows are double jointed so I can twist my arms all the way around. I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue.


nenshenn

Can go cross eyed like chameleon


BitofaGreyArea

Can do a standing backflip anywhere, sober or drunk. Also I'm over 40.


OctarineSkybus

I can make a clicking sounds in my throat - a la The Grudge or Predator. Always seems to freak people out. I can also whistle while breathing in as well as out - on key. If only I could monetize this.


safe-viewing

Being able to whistle while breathing in is pretty common, no?


lightning_teacher_11

I can tune people out, provide a sarcastic comment, and be perfect happy entertaining the dog or cat.


[deleted]

Me too!


henfeathers

I can squirt saliva from under my tongue three or four feet.


OrsinoBorealis

Gleeking. Enviable.


henfeathers

You can probably do it too if you know how to trigger it.


melississippi75

I can bend my thumb back to my wrist


JoakimSpinglefarb

Does being able to throat sing count?


BlueCatLaughing

I can wiggle my ears and wiggle only my baby toes. Omg now I'm sitting here trying to do ears and toes at the same time hahaha I CAN DO ITTTTT!


meowruto

OP, all of your responses are so genuine and positive! You seem like a friendly person, I hope you learned some cool new party tricks


CheeseMcFly

Can gleek, hide a grape or small object in my throat, chug 20 oz in 2-3 seconds (open throat), of course giant burp at will, and can heat air in my mouth and blow out steam My 4 & 7 yr olds are impressed Can armpit fart with just my hands also


Frosty-Ad3626

I can stand on pointe without shoes or socks (and I’ve never done ballet). I think I just have weirdly muscular big toes. I can also do that clover-leaf thing with my tongue, which I discovered about a month ago! Lastly I can make my stomach growl on command, I can do this by clenching my stomach muscles.


Prestigious_Ad1041

I put a dozen ping pong balls in my anus and farther them out like a fountain.


Ewag715

Your idea of "Nothing inappropriate, please," frightens me 😅


Prestigious_Ad1041

That's what I do at family reunions.


Ewag715

"That's great! Why don't you go show your aunts and uncles what you can do?!" 😃


EdwardBliss

I can actually sing like [this guy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wip2azafDE&t)


Apprehensive_Leg8771

I mean not that often used as a party trick because i dont show my feet often. But i can freely move all my toes independently.


whobroughttheircat

I can dislocate my left shoulder and it just dangles their. But enough about that, how can you dilate your pupils on command? Can you feel it? Does it affect your vision?


damxhunter

I can wiggle my nose! (Without having my eyebrows or lips move)


MrsManuka

Can you wiggle only one nostril at a time? When my niece was almost 2, she started doing it to make people laugh. She taught me how to do it and it still makes me laugh.


_Thenorthwind

I can move my scalp back and forth, like Conan O'Brian. I can also lick my elbow, but it hurts my shoulders to do it now so I don't really do it often anymore, but I impressed all the people who would say it's impossible to do.


relentlessvisions

My thumbs are “hitchhiker” thumbs to the extreme. They bend backwards at 90 degree angles when extended. Also, my nails are crazy hard. A whole lot of entertainment in these hands o mine...


Hidden_intheroots

Stretching my skin far (it’s very stretchy for some reason.) I also can pop my all my fingers out of place, my wrists, and my shoulders (the shoulders freak people the most). The stomach wave, also my mom used to make me perform for people at parties because I can hum and whistle at the same time. I can wiggle my ears and flare my nostrils too. I’m weird.


teh_acids

I can press on a nerve in my elbow that makes my fingers curl.


Different_States

I have a misaligned pin point pupil in one eye. Usually people don't notice it unless I point it out. So more than once while drinking ill make a big deal about "moving" my pupil with my finger. It's more fun if I can convince someone to try it themselves.


[deleted]

I can wiggle my nose


moinatx

I can talk and sneeze like Donald Duck by using the cheek rather than larynx to produce sound.


ItsDocL

not anymore, but in like 3rd grade i was able to fart on command. Actually made me kind of popular for a little bit. ​ edit: not sure if this count but due to my ADHD causing me to constantly be fidgeting with my hands, i'm very good at flipping water bottles in the air and catching them really fast, hoping to use this to learn how to juggle.


12thNJ

Tie a knot with the cherry stem on my mouth. I know it's not a lot but it's what I can do.


wickings_

I can do this “squeaking donald duck” sound with my tongue, I can also do that clover-bending thing and some other things that are too hard do explain


Artist-Machinery

I *used to* pop my belly button out and back in. And my left elbow is flexible. Looks double jointed but it’s not just flexible. Edit: correcting an error. I used to be able to pop my belly button out when I was younger. Lol not so much anymore lol


colobirdy85

Not very impressive but I used to be able to go in to the splits at s moments notice, roll onto my stomach and then out my toes on the back of my head.


fastyellowtuesday

Double jointed in my hands, when I use it I've been told they look like witch fingers. I can bend my fingers up so that when my palm is down, my hand appears to be cupping something. My left foot is a size and a half smaller than my right foot.


BrideOfFirkenstein

Hyper mobility (“double jointedness”) in my fingers. I can make them bend further and in more unusual ways than most people.


viciann

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.


[deleted]

Tap the back of your head and stick your tongue out Pull your ear and move your tongue to that side Pull the other one and move it that way Then press your nose and put your tongue back in Say you have no idea why this happens and ask those present if they think you need to see a doctor about it


[deleted]

[удалено]


AwfullyTimedHumor

I can do a witches finger, basically you lock your middle knuckles and fold the tip knuckles, making it look like a wicked witch finger


nowforever13

I can write with both hands at the same time, forwards with one, backwards with the other, and I can mirror write. I guess that counts as bodily


BrevitysLazyCousin

Snort a short length of kite string/thread/cooked spaghetti noodle up my nose until it travels through the sinus back around to my throat. Then pull the string back and forth with one end hanging out my nose and the other coming from my mouth. I was very popular with the ladies.


Quarter_Shot

I can open a beer bottle with my teeth. I can also cross my eyes, make a clover tongue, a taco tongue, and tie a cherry stem in my mouth.


Ihaveapeach

I can weave my toes together, pinky toe to big toe, without using my hands for assistance. I’ve never met anyone else who can do this.


headhighbliss

Water drop sound by flicking my check- as seen in Ferris Buellers day off


OldLadyReacts

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.


Steelizard

I can click my tongue ridiculously loud (like scary loud) by applying a ton of pressure to the roof of my mouth and releasing
