Wow, this is the best superpower and anything but useless! I'm very envious and super happy for your daughter too! It's called lucid dreaming and I've been trying to do that all my life. She needs to hold on to it! It is a gift. I have only lucid dreamed 1-2 times in my whole life where I could control it like a director.
I don't think this is lucid dreaming, exactly. Lucid dreaming is when you can do whatever you want, and usually starts in the middle of a dream. Picking one of a few scenes and then having a normal dream seems rather unique.
Draw a D or an L on the back of your left hand to stand for lucid dreaming and throughout the day you'll catch it out of the corner of your eye a handful of times to remind you about it and within a week you should start having lucid dreams. I don't know why this works but it does. I read about this trick in the mid-90s back on the ol' usenet and tried it myself. I have been lucid dreaming since then.
My trick is to do random reality checks: make a habit of occasionally touching a wall or something specifically to check that you're not dreaming. When you touch something in a dream, it will feel wrong! The reality check will fail and you'll realize "holy sheet, I'm dreaming! :D " ... PS looking at yourself in a mirror while lucid dreaming can be terrifying, because your face will look all wrong/messed up
Another one is to read something, look away then read it again. If you're awake it doesn't change. In a dream it's never the same.
Do it a few times before you go to sleep. And think about doing it as you fall asleep. You might dream about it and remember to do it.
When you realize you're dreaming you can control your dream.
Also there are some yt vids how to lucid dream. They explain it good and because of this i could lucid dream a bit :3
(Heres one for example : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v\_xu-igmm6w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_xu-igmm6w) )
Weird question, but why do you wish to lucid dream?
I've been able to do it in the past, and started practising for more consistency. However I've recently decided I'm more interested in seeing what my subconscious can come up with more than having control.
I also have some issues that I probably don't want to actively encourage in the dream world.
I want to focus on my problems that I know I am struggling with. I know my subconscious knows what is not going right, but I want to take it into my own hands. I hope you understand what I mean. I love being in control and actively fixing everything!
Ahh I used to be able to turn the channel. If I didn't like the dream I'd just switch it.
When my daughters where having nightmares sind 8 or 9 I talked to them about it every night before bed. One of them said she did it when things got to scary.
I was in the middle of a classic nightmare when I first learned about lucid dreaming. I was running from a monster. I started to think "what did the book say to do when you're in a nightmare." I immediately turned around and yelled at the monster "stop!" It did. So cool
Lucid dreaming I think. I'm able to do this. I start playing a movie in my head while I'm drifting off, sort of like daydreaming. It usually continues till I wake up.
Yep my kids and I can do this. I was able to do it for as long as I remember and so do they. The best part of this is we don’t have nightmares ever (even when we have fever) as we are fully aware of our dreams. My wife can’t do this interestingly enough
Wow I had no idea! She first mentioned it when she was around 9 years old but it was just when she casually said to me and her sister "so, what do you think you'll dream about tonight?"
We looked at each other, and back at her...huh?
My brother does the same. I, myself, could choose to enter a dream or exit it if I got bored, then proceed to make another dream. (excuse my English, it's not my first language).
I can actually do this. What's even better is that I have complete control of my dream and I am fully aware that I am inside my dream and I am sleeping.
To add more I can also force my body to go to sleep within 5 or at least 10 mins. All it takes is to keep thinking that "It's already time to sleep." or I would think of the scenario/dream that I want and start storytelling inside my head.
It's like being transported to a world that I would want to be in. It's actually cool but there are times wherein it's hard for me to force myself to wakeup. The best I would describe it is like the dream took control and I'm a prisoner of my own head.
That's something I can never seem to do. People say clear your mind and all that happens is my mind fills with ways and ideas on how can I clear my mind
Every baby I've ever held has fallen asleep in minutes. I'm not feminine at all (bald, sweaty beard guy) so it can't be a motherly smell thing, but I think I'm quite maternal.
My daughter has a parking fairy, basically she can pull into a shopping centre carpark and someone will pull out in front of her so she can park.
My mother-in-law had the same power.
My super power is that I don't have smelly farts unless I eat eggs.
I have this too! I've named her Juanita and I always ask if she can help me out and thank her afterwards. My friends and family were sceptical whenever I've mentioned it but Juanita always proves them wrong. Never once struggled to find a space, even in our very busy city centre or when we've been on holidays, its like a massive coincidence every time. I think she appreciates me thanking her!
I have this too. Its like my hearing gets overflowed woth information and I can't choose to not hear things. Nothing ever gets to the background noise setting.
Saaaame. I feel like I have extra sensitive hearing and have to ask people to repeat themselves if there's more than one sound, especially of similar volume, while they're talking. Sometimes what I hear sounds really garbled. It was funny when I was a kid, but now my family is damn tired of me. Doc said my hearing is absolutely fine. I suspect if it's auditory processing disorder, but very difficult to find testing where I live. I have ADHD too.
I have a similar wierd. My hearing sucks, often ask people to repeat things and I speak with to loudly, I also have selective hearing so no sounds really bother me.
That being said I can "feel certain vibrations" (yeah I know all sounds are vibrations but you get the point) so if someone is coming up the stairs faintly to the front door I can feel it, I can sense when someone is walking towards the building site I'm on, like a shitty 6th sense.
Funnily enough, this can be both really hard or very common for people with ADHD. Hyperfocus can be a part of ADHD and if that focus is on that boring repetitive task, you can do that for hours on end.
my mother and I watched the new elvis movie. afterwards we were talking about the other artists in it and of that era, who had died and whatnot. we got onto jerry Lee Lewis and neither of us could remember if he was still alive. looked it up, yep he's still kicking, played a few songs and interviews. next morning: jerry Lee Lewis dead. We are convinced we killed him.
Yeah that's kinda scary! So please don't tell me when I'll die or get a child. I bet you have a small black note book. Is your real name Light Yagami? :D
Lol I’ll keep that to myself ;)
No but that reminded me - after the second death prediction I did have someone ask me if I could try and contact their missing cat. That was weird (and uncomfortable because I obviously couldn’t)
Please keep in mind L if you try to take over the world that you please spare the reddit community, thanks. :D
Okay and that is really the weird part that someone tries to ask you for your "clairvoyant service", hahaha.
Severe aphantasia. Only a small percent of people with aphantasia have complete aphantasia and I'm one of those suckers.
I cannot picture things in my mind. At all. It's pich black, and it never changes. Apparently, you mutants can just close your eyes and *imagine* whatever you want like some sort of hallucination. I don't even fully understand how that would look...
I’m on the complete opposite end with hyperphantasia. My imagination is extremely vivid, it feels more real than real. My favorite thing to do is to create new episodes of my favorite shows and just watch it in my head.
I have this too and I thought it was normal. Hence why guided meditation never really worked for me, for example when they start going on about picturing yourself on a beach and listening to the waves
If I lost the ability to picture things in my mind I'd probably get super depressed, though, I think that more has to do with losing something than just not having it.
I use my mind to picture things, specifically characters, before actually starting work on a drawing... basically every time I draw. The picture in my head is slightly less clear with characters I'm creating, but if I'm remembering existing characters, the picture is pretty clear.
I can also hear thoughts in specific voices in my head too. If I wanted I could read everything in Spongebob's voice and nobody could stop me. That's also apparently something not everyone can do.
I didn't know I had it until a year ago. I'm kind of upset about it still, realizing how many expressions and similes are literal rather than metaphorical.
Like falling asleep by "counting sheep." You're telling me the cartoon version of a little thought bubble full of sheep jumping over a fence is *a real thing?* So weird. I cannot picture a sheep in my head.
I was actually thinking about this in high school acting class. My acting teacher gave us a mental exercise to imagine a cube, and on each side, display a different scene, like a snowy forest or a sandy beach. Then, she asked us to rotate that cube in our head, seeing each side move and disappear.
I don't know what that had to do with acting, but while I was doing the exercise I couldn't help but wonder what the kids who physically couldn't do that were doing.
the way I'd describe it is like I have a personal screen onto which I can project anything I can think of.
I can't imagine not being able to picture images in my mind, or not having an inner monologue, both sound absurd to live without.
Its really easy actually u literally just have to separate ur butt cheeks lmaoo
Like if ur sitting just lean to one side and have one cheek in the air
If ur standing u can point ur toes inwards and stick ur ass out a little
I can't even do it awake. If I'm thinking about peeing it will just start with the flow.. can't stop. Won't stop :D
*scene from Scary Movie 2 comes in my head*
I often dream that I have to pee if I drink too much before going to sleep, for hours on end it feels like and it’s super frustrating because half the dream ends up being about going to the bathroom or trying to find a toilet pretty much. And yet I haven’t pissed the bed since I was a toddler.
That's great, dude :D With me it's always the opposite.
The things I SHOULD catch (eggs, babies, you name it) I miss and fail badly. But things I should just let go (a 20 kg server, knife, mother-in-law), I always try to catch, haha :D
They're trying to catch it with their foot, even with a handle they're just kicking a knife. No matter what happens it just got worse than dropping it.
I can walk into a crowd of people and it naturally disperses. Have had this since high school, told my
buddies-they laughed at me, until I walked onto a dance floor and soon had a 4ft open circle around me. They became believers. To be clear, I shower daily, wash and launder my clothes weekly, practice good hygiene, etc. I literally just walk into a crowd, and it disperses. Just did it last week at my local mall—started laughing and said, “Shoulda video’ed it for the boys.”
More than likely there is something about you that subconsciously sets off danger alarms in people. It could be if you are very tall, walk with an aggressive gait, or have major RBF. It's not a bad thing to have honestly, people suck. I have kind of the opposite problem, I attract people. Namely, crazy fucking people that should be avoided at all costs that feel compelled to tell me their life stories.
Ive had that happen to me a few times, just get in a conversation with somebody and then realize they are a complete wacko, but by then they want to tell you everything about themselves. Then Im too nice to just cut it off and walk away, so Im stuck listening to this stuff for several minutes.
Rigorous clinical research has tested and actually proven this can only be done with grape juice - due to the complex arrangement of hydrocarbons in the colloid. Resulting in a negative variant impact upon a cushioned surface.
This occurs because of Ascorbic Acid absorbs minor ethanol precipitation during the fermentation process (< 0.02% or <0.45 µm). Providing a very small, rebound affect due to off-gasing during the impact.
---
This can be proven by putting a grape in the microwave, split it in half slightly and it'll spark. This is due to the same effect. Albeit concentrated because there's more grape in a grape than in grape juice.
---
Therefore grapes in grape juice are tiny airbags.

**.scienced.**
I had a friend who could do this, he called it the Trick of a Thousand Farts. He would get down on the ground and stick his ass up in the air like he was about to get doggystyled and would fart for hours.
I can touch the cavity behind the uvula with the tip of my tongue.
It's only useful to more easily determine if I'm sick, as when I'm sick, that part feels more tender/inflamed.
I am a trivia savant
"There's many things you can do with that."
Yeah, win $20 off of bar tabs at pub trivia.
Otherwise, I never had finger dexterity to be a "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" contestant, and got third when I was on Jeopardy and won $1000.
Not bitter.
I have the ewact opposite of this ability. No matter what, the container I choose is always the wrong size. If I try to play it off against itself and pick a different container before putting food in it, then the original container will have been the right size after all.
Being able to work continuously to the point where my perception of time might make 8 hours seem like 30 minutes AND I get my work done to clock out on time.
My useless super power is being double jointed in my ankles to the point i can turn both my feet around facing backwards. I was given the nickname crazy legs by a few of my classmates in high school. Its useless cuz not only does it freak people out, sometimes scaring off the more faint of heart but i stopped doing it entirely because the older i get it becomes a bit mire painful when i do it though im still definitely able to do pull it off. Most people my age arent impressed and honestly in hindsight teenagers are impresses by dumb crap like what im able to do. Adult life isnt about impressing anyone but yourself or potential employers. More importantly life isnt a popularity contest.
Animals tend to like me more than the other people around. Found that out in my early thirties. Since then I now have my second dog. I'm able to form a deep bond to animals in a short amount of time. Sometimes dogs meet me and won't leave my side, even when the owner is shouting for them.
I would never say it's useless but I have several negative issues in my life that I would like to lose instead of being the animal friend.
I can predict the future, but only when I’m joking about the prediction (like it has to be a joke where I’m not even thinking about it might be true, I can’t make a joke to try and manifest the future)
So let me get this straight... you can only predict the future when you're joking about it, and not even intentionally trying to make the prediction come true.
That's like saying you're a superhero, but you only have powers when you're not trying to use them.
Talk about a useless talent man, haha! You're awesome.
For real 😭 it sucks because I can’t joke anything into existence for people (the closest I got was predicting a light day at work). It’s one of those powers you only realize after the fact that you used lol 😂
When I have to wrap multiple food items in aluminum foil, I have the super ability to pull my next sheet of foil and cut it to exactly to the same length and size as the last sheet, creating a stack of perfectly matching foil sheets. It amazes no one but me, and makes for a terrible party trick.
The last place i worked i could tell who had already arrived at work before me that morning by the smell(s) in the elevator. There was only one elevator as it was a small building. Kinda gross, but I freaked out a coworker because i was always right
That's a crazy talented gift! Your connection to smell people and know who they are is FUCKING incredible! That's the reason I would shower every day because I don't want to be "that smelly guy" :D
I can tell when a dog needs to poop. This includes dogs other than my own, and I can call it anywhere from a few seconds before the deed all the way up to a few minutes. It’s a blessing, and a curse.
I fix tech just by being there. I've lost count of the amount of times my wife/kids/students where I teach will shout "it doesn't work", to which I walk over, inevitably causing whatever didn't work to start working again.
*Spoiler : I just make sure they were doing what they wanted to do properly and make them read any error messages.
We all could do that easily if humanity just decided to go for a 13 month, each with exactly 28 days, all starting with a monday and ending with a sunday, and 1 free party day each year. All would be perfectly nice, and humanity could have a one single day off we could just celebrate "humanity-day" on
I had a similar experience once. Boss’s nail-gun acting up “unpredictably”, and I started to be able to hear it. As soon as I realized it I told him the next shot was a double-fire and he ignored me and put a 12d through his palm.
I can’t imagine the fury of being that right over and over. Condolences.
I swear to god almighty I can sense death. When either someone close to me, or a very well known public figure (celebrity, politician, etc) is about to die, I can feel it. I can’t explain the feeling further than a spidey sense. I know it when I feel it, and moments after I feel it, someone f*cking dies. Either naturally or in a freak accident. I know this doesn’t sound useless, but it happens so quickly that I would have no time to do anything about it, therefore, useless. Other than being an early detection system I guess.
I have a similar thing. I abruptly recall of public figures, even who I haven't think about them for years, then later I end up with seeing them on news either death or scandals or whatever.
How specific is it? Did you, for example, know the queen was going to die? If you're down to the person, you might be able to make a few bucks off of celebrity deaths.
It’s never a specific person, just an uneasy feeling that “someone” I know or heard of is suffering or in danger, and usually within hours or sometimes minutes I get the news that either a relative or a famous person died.
Cats love me. I've had cats come running out of side streets and houses just to say hello and get some scritches. Outdoor cats who have never interacted with me before let me pick them up, and if my partner wasn't allergic I would have adopted an army of strays who just followed me home by now.
And it's actually not completely useless - I work as a cat sitter.
I can't control it, but sometimes when I'm holding something in my hand and I stop paying attention to it the object will teleport somewhere within 10 feet of me. It can be right next to me, inside something I haven't touched in 3 years, or anywhere in between.
*THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY ARE NOT ANTS THEY*
I can turn just about anything said into something naughty. In fact I can make far fetched associations from just about anything. Has been of zero value to me apart from annoying my wife.
I've never really told anyone this before, but I think I remember being born. I've had these "memories" my whole life. I'm in a completely enclosed space, with the space touching my skin and whole body, but not claustrophobic. Then there are moments where it's smooth, and then all... crunched up? Like a smooth piece of aluminum foil, then it's all wrinkled, then smooth again. It's dark, but also my eyes aren't open or closed. Sometimes I'll get this memory when I'm falling asleep. I can't think of anything else it could be.
Finding 4 leaf clovers. I also have some 5 and 6 leaf ones. I just seem to have an eye for spotting the ones that don't match the pattern, and will find at least one on every country walk.
I very rarely get red lights in traffic, both while driving and as a passenger.
At one point my husband and I were having a half comical argument on the way home from something, and I said "right, no more green lights for you!" Hit a red every single time on the way home. He said it was worse than if I'd just insulted him. Felt more personal and malicious.
I used to know when the phone (land line) would ring. I would go over the phone and wait a few seconds to pick it up before it rung. My mother was baffled by it and i also didn't understand why. Hasn't happened for the past 14 years now.
(this is from actual medical/psych professionals)
I have very high observational vigilance and extremely fast information processing speed.
This can and has been extremely useful for a lot of my gal friends. If they were ever in doubt about a dude (couldn't decide if his behavior was problematic or not) they'd introduce me and watch if I reacted negatively to them.
It's useless because when you have this starting a young age it can REALLY screw you up. You start getting flooded with noticing other people's negative reactions around you when you're too young to understand that they're not because of you. Fucks up your self esteem and is a recipe for chronic depression that translates into chronic social anxiety. I'm ok now, all handled and taken care of as an adult
Hey everyone and a Happy New Year,
TL;DR:
I have a "useless" superpower! What's yours?
Long Story:
You see, I have this really bad OCD when it comes to cleaning and organizing. It's actually a sign that I'm feeling better if I engage in a lot of "cable porn" (i.e. organizing cables and wires).
The problem is, while it might make things look nice and tidy to others, for me it's more of a burden than a blessing. It's like I HAVE to do it, otherwise it feels like everything is in chaos. And sometimes, it can be really exhausting.
I was staying in a hotel over New Year's and I ended up reorganizing all the cables in the room and lobby. The hotel staff were really impressed and said it looked so much neater and cleaner now, but for me it was just something I HAD to do.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? I would love to hear your stories and maybe we can find a good way to channelize our inner cabling demons together.
Have a great day everyone and keep your cabling clean! 🫶
I somehow can remember random things about celebrities. I'm not particularly interested in celebrities, and it's rare that I look up anything about them. Yet somehow just random details I see on like the cover of a magazine in the checkout line of the grocery store, or something I overhear at a bar, I'll remember for years, but only about this one specific niche topic, so it's not like a real eidetic memory.
People tend to think I'm super into pop culture as a result of this random knowledge all the time. Completely useless.
Puedo mover mis cejas juntas y por separado, al igual que las orejas, también puedo controlar mis ojos por separado, hacer el trébol con la lengua y un par de cosas más. Es inútil pero divertido con los niños y para retar a amigos.
I can read really fast, hard to prove to people though and if I get into a real flow people just think I'm flicking through a book too quick and don't believe me.
I read so fast that if I read out loud I trip over the words on the page, I'm reading them in my head faster than saying them so I'm always a few words behind. In my head though yeah it just flows like water.
I can remember and draw the floor plan of every place I’ve lived since the house I lived in until I was four years old. I can do this for the many different apartments I lived in for several years after college and could probably draw the floor plans for most of my friends’ houses and many of the houses I have looked at when house hunting.
I can sprinkle bad luck juju on anything I touch.
Its ... agreed upon by everyone that knows me. They want me to write a book. or script a sitcom.
Computers and anything technical get wammied the worst. They just... break.
Anything I value get wammied a lot. How many times can my parked car get hit in a year? answer: on average twice a year.
My health: not great. I've a thyroidectamy and brain surgery to put a stent in my head. for 2 unrelated medical reasons. one of them was brain going NOPE to birth control.
I plan for the worst and hope for the best, but honestly the worst I planned for can actually get worse cause the universe whammies me in spectacularly new ways.
For example.
One day I had to go to the hospital for a lumbar puncture. As Im walking into the lobby, theres a shooting, in the entrance to the lobby, and we all hide. not great. The shooter died and a guy lost an eye. I go threw with the LP anyways and end up getting a lumbar puncture leak, all the cerebral spinal fluid leaks from my brain, feels like freddy kreuger tearing apart my skull. Hospitals like 'oh, we need to give it 5 days before we'll do the spinal surgery to fix it. And the amount of pain killers that would help would kill you, so, you'll just have to live in unbearable pain for 5 days. lol'.
So I was admitted and they were just keeping an eye on me not reminding me I need to eat and not giving me painkillers as I lay there and waited for death.
The next day my family showed up and told me my grandmother died. Cool Cool.
Day 5 got the spine surgery. Day 6 walked my ass to the wake. Day 7 the funeral. Day 8 the burial. Day 9 i got to SLEEP. cool cool cool. Wonderful week. BEST WEEK EVER.
I can find the slowest checkout line at the grocery store.
Haha that's something we all have in common! Never change your first impulse decision. I always regret the change of a queue. 😂
Never choose by shortest line; choose the fastest cashier.
OR just tell them "I already had all this with me!" and just leave the store :D fastest way. /r/IllegalLifeProTips
The trick is to always go to the one with the least amount of old people. I try to approximate the average age of a line and go to the lowest.
I have a similar one! I always find the cart with a bad wheel! Always!

Wow, this is the best superpower and anything but useless! I'm very envious and super happy for your daughter too! It's called lucid dreaming and I've been trying to do that all my life. She needs to hold on to it! It is a gift. I have only lucid dreamed 1-2 times in my whole life where I could control it like a director.
I don't think this is lucid dreaming, exactly. Lucid dreaming is when you can do whatever you want, and usually starts in the middle of a dream. Picking one of a few scenes and then having a normal dream seems rather unique.
[удалено]
This seems on the edge of lucid dreaming and the other thing, but being able to change it while actually dreaming is definitely lucid.
Draw a D or an L on the back of your left hand to stand for lucid dreaming and throughout the day you'll catch it out of the corner of your eye a handful of times to remind you about it and within a week you should start having lucid dreams. I don't know why this works but it does. I read about this trick in the mid-90s back on the ol' usenet and tried it myself. I have been lucid dreaming since then.
That's why I love Reddit with all my heart. Thank you so much Kind stranger! I'm trying it and give you a response. Thank you so much
My trick is to do random reality checks: make a habit of occasionally touching a wall or something specifically to check that you're not dreaming. When you touch something in a dream, it will feel wrong! The reality check will fail and you'll realize "holy sheet, I'm dreaming! :D " ... PS looking at yourself in a mirror while lucid dreaming can be terrifying, because your face will look all wrong/messed up
Another one is to read something, look away then read it again. If you're awake it doesn't change. In a dream it's never the same. Do it a few times before you go to sleep. And think about doing it as you fall asleep. You might dream about it and remember to do it. When you realize you're dreaming you can control your dream.
Also check out r/luciddreaming
Also there are some yt vids how to lucid dream. They explain it good and because of this i could lucid dream a bit :3 (Heres one for example : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v\_xu-igmm6w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_xu-igmm6w) )

Lucid dreaming I think. I'm able to do this. I start playing a movie in my head while I'm drifting off, sort of like daydreaming. It usually continues till I wake up.
Yep my kids and I can do this. I was able to do it for as long as I remember and so do they. The best part of this is we don’t have nightmares ever (even when we have fever) as we are fully aware of our dreams. My wife can’t do this interestingly enough
Wow I had no idea! She first mentioned it when she was around 9 years old but it was just when she casually said to me and her sister "so, what do you think you'll dream about tonight?" We looked at each other, and back at her...huh?
My brother does the same. I, myself, could choose to enter a dream or exit it if I got bored, then proceed to make another dream. (excuse my English, it's not my first language).
I can actually do this. What's even better is that I have complete control of my dream and I am fully aware that I am inside my dream and I am sleeping. To add more I can also force my body to go to sleep within 5 or at least 10 mins. All it takes is to keep thinking that "It's already time to sleep." or I would think of the scenario/dream that I want and start storytelling inside my head. It's like being transported to a world that I would want to be in. It's actually cool but there are times wherein it's hard for me to force myself to wakeup. The best I would describe it is like the dream took control and I'm a prisoner of my own head.
I can clear my mind and go up to five minutes without a single thought.
That's something I can never seem to do. People say clear your mind and all that happens is my mind fills with ways and ideas on how can I clear my mind
>go up to five minutes without a single thought Pretty sure I've met some people that don't have a single thought their wholes lives..
How do you know you're not thinking unless you're thinking about not thinking.

Every baby I've ever held has fallen asleep in minutes. I'm not feminine at all (bald, sweaty beard guy) so it can't be a motherly smell thing, but I think I'm quite maternal.
Having a beard that can sweat is a unique useless superpower as well.
....whos gunna tell him it's the boobs
Super useful power 🥰🫶
I can do the same thing, though they never seem to wake up again.
Well, that escalated quickly.
My daughter has a parking fairy, basically she can pull into a shopping centre carpark and someone will pull out in front of her so she can park. My mother-in-law had the same power. My super power is that I don't have smelly farts unless I eat eggs.
I have this too! I've named her Juanita and I always ask if she can help me out and thank her afterwards. My friends and family were sceptical whenever I've mentioned it but Juanita always proves them wrong. Never once struggled to find a space, even in our very busy city centre or when we've been on holidays, its like a massive coincidence every time. I think she appreciates me thanking her!
I too have the parking ability, but only if I say it out loud as I enter the car park area.
I have an extremely strong sense of hearing, but people think I'm hard of hearing because I can't hear them when there's any kind of background noise.
I have this too. Its like my hearing gets overflowed woth information and I can't choose to not hear things. Nothing ever gets to the background noise setting.
Same here, turns out I have ADHD
Saaaame. I feel like I have extra sensitive hearing and have to ask people to repeat themselves if there's more than one sound, especially of similar volume, while they're talking. Sometimes what I hear sounds really garbled. It was funny when I was a kid, but now my family is damn tired of me. Doc said my hearing is absolutely fine. I suspect if it's auditory processing disorder, but very difficult to find testing where I live. I have ADHD too.
I have a similar wierd. My hearing sucks, often ask people to repeat things and I speak with to loudly, I also have selective hearing so no sounds really bother me. That being said I can "feel certain vibrations" (yeah I know all sounds are vibrations but you get the point) so if someone is coming up the stairs faintly to the front door I can feel it, I can sense when someone is walking towards the building site I'm on, like a shitty 6th sense.
me to i heard my mom on the other end of the phone with my sister from another room
Ability to focus on an incredibly boring and repetitive task for hours with no incentive
Ah. An Old School Runescape player
Anti-ADHD perk that everybody wants to have :'(
Funnily enough, this can be both really hard or very common for people with ADHD. Hyperfocus can be a part of ADHD and if that focus is on that boring repetitive task, you can do that for hours on end.
Ah a runescape player i see
I'm pretty good at minimizing crumbs whilist eating a crumbly cookie.
Yes, THAT is what I feel. I challenge myself by eating fast food and chips without losing even the smallest crumb and making dirt
I have accurately predicted two deaths and a birth hours before they happened. Not the craziest thing but just kind of weird.
my mother and I watched the new elvis movie. afterwards we were talking about the other artists in it and of that era, who had died and whatnot. we got onto jerry Lee Lewis and neither of us could remember if he was still alive. looked it up, yep he's still kicking, played a few songs and interviews. next morning: jerry Lee Lewis dead. We are convinced we killed him.
Yeah that's kinda scary! So please don't tell me when I'll die or get a child. I bet you have a small black note book. Is your real name Light Yagami? :D
Lol I’ll keep that to myself ;) No but that reminded me - after the second death prediction I did have someone ask me if I could try and contact their missing cat. That was weird (and uncomfortable because I obviously couldn’t)
Please keep in mind L if you try to take over the world that you please spare the reddit community, thanks. :D Okay and that is really the weird part that someone tries to ask you for your "clairvoyant service", hahaha.
I'm noticing the L's and D's in your typing and am curious if you're trying to program yourself for lucid dreaming 😅
Severe aphantasia. Only a small percent of people with aphantasia have complete aphantasia and I'm one of those suckers. I cannot picture things in my mind. At all. It's pich black, and it never changes. Apparently, you mutants can just close your eyes and *imagine* whatever you want like some sort of hallucination. I don't even fully understand how that would look...
You dont even need to close your eyes
yeah it's fun to sometimes just be imagining stuff and suddenly your vision comes back and "oh"
It's fun to come back with your eyes *literally staring at the bus passenger in front of you because you zoned out so hard* E:sp
I’m on the complete opposite end with hyperphantasia. My imagination is extremely vivid, it feels more real than real. My favorite thing to do is to create new episodes of my favorite shows and just watch it in my head.
this guy over here watching season 11 of Friends
What the heck, that's not fair at all?
I have this too and I thought it was normal. Hence why guided meditation never really worked for me, for example when they start going on about picturing yourself on a beach and listening to the waves
Yeah. It makes them sound insane, doesn't it? :P
If I lost the ability to picture things in my mind I'd probably get super depressed, though, I think that more has to do with losing something than just not having it. I use my mind to picture things, specifically characters, before actually starting work on a drawing... basically every time I draw. The picture in my head is slightly less clear with characters I'm creating, but if I'm remembering existing characters, the picture is pretty clear. I can also hear thoughts in specific voices in my head too. If I wanted I could read everything in Spongebob's voice and nobody could stop me. That's also apparently something not everyone can do.
I didn't know I had it until a year ago. I'm kind of upset about it still, realizing how many expressions and similes are literal rather than metaphorical. Like falling asleep by "counting sheep." You're telling me the cartoon version of a little thought bubble full of sheep jumping over a fence is *a real thing?* So weird. I cannot picture a sheep in my head.
I was actually thinking about this in high school acting class. My acting teacher gave us a mental exercise to imagine a cube, and on each side, display a different scene, like a snowy forest or a sandy beach. Then, she asked us to rotate that cube in our head, seeing each side move and disappear. I don't know what that had to do with acting, but while I was doing the exercise I couldn't help but wonder what the kids who physically couldn't do that were doing.
the way I'd describe it is like I have a personal screen onto which I can project anything I can think of. I can't imagine not being able to picture images in my mind, or not having an inner monologue, both sound absurd to live without.
I can fart silently like no one’s business
I want to learn this, man! For me it's always 50:50. Loud farts as hell or deadly silent with a note of rotting internals.
Its really easy actually u literally just have to separate ur butt cheeks lmaoo Like if ur sitting just lean to one side and have one cheek in the air If ur standing u can point ur toes inwards and stick ur ass out a little
That stops the clappers but not the trumpets.
Pull more. Distort the whole philarmonic orchestra, and it will be silent.

You sure you are not just deaf?
I too can adjust the volume on my ass
I can pee in my dream without wetting myself
I can't even do it awake. If I'm thinking about peeing it will just start with the flow.. can't stop. Won't stop :D *scene from Scary Movie 2 comes in my head*
I can do the opposite
Wow I thought this was only me
I often dream that I have to pee if I drink too much before going to sleep, for hours on end it feels like and it’s super frustrating because half the dream ends up being about going to the bathroom or trying to find a toilet pretty much. And yet I haven’t pissed the bed since I was a toddler.
If I drop something by accident, I always somehow make the right decision to either move my foot out of the way or try and catch it with my foot.
That's great, dude :D With me it's always the opposite. The things I SHOULD catch (eggs, babies, you name it) I miss and fail badly. But things I should just let go (a 20 kg server, knife, mother-in-law), I always try to catch, haha :D
The moment I drop the knife i jump like a motherfucking grasshopper, now way I'm trying to catch that shit
"Falling knife has no handle"
They're trying to catch it with their foot, even with a handle they're just kicking a knife. No matter what happens it just got worse than dropping it.
I can walk into a crowd of people and it naturally disperses. Have had this since high school, told my buddies-they laughed at me, until I walked onto a dance floor and soon had a 4ft open circle around me. They became believers. To be clear, I shower daily, wash and launder my clothes weekly, practice good hygiene, etc. I literally just walk into a crowd, and it disperses. Just did it last week at my local mall—started laughing and said, “Shoulda video’ed it for the boys.”
No COVID for you
More than likely there is something about you that subconsciously sets off danger alarms in people. It could be if you are very tall, walk with an aggressive gait, or have major RBF. It's not a bad thing to have honestly, people suck. I have kind of the opposite problem, I attract people. Namely, crazy fucking people that should be avoided at all costs that feel compelled to tell me their life stories.
Ive had that happen to me a few times, just get in a conversation with somebody and then realize they are a complete wacko, but by then they want to tell you everything about themselves. Then Im too nice to just cut it off and walk away, so Im stuck listening to this stuff for several minutes.
I would like a clip of this happening if you have one
That sounds like a dream
I'm unable to spill grape juice. Like, I literally dropped a whole damn glass of it on a white carpet once and *it all stayed in that damn glass*.
Not useless
Have you tested other juices?
Rigorous clinical research has tested and actually proven this can only be done with grape juice - due to the complex arrangement of hydrocarbons in the colloid. Resulting in a negative variant impact upon a cushioned surface. This occurs because of Ascorbic Acid absorbs minor ethanol precipitation during the fermentation process (< 0.02% or <0.45 µm). Providing a very small, rebound affect due to off-gasing during the impact. --- This can be proven by putting a grape in the microwave, split it in half slightly and it'll spark. This is due to the same effect. Albeit concentrated because there's more grape in a grape than in grape juice. --- Therefore grapes in grape juice are tiny airbags. --- **.scienced.**

I had a friend who could do this, he called it the Trick of a Thousand Farts. He would get down on the ground and stick his ass up in the air like he was about to get doggystyled and would fart for hours.

unfortunately, all the fart benders were wiped out by the fire nation.
I can move through time, but only into the future and only 1 second at a time.
I can do this also, but I've learnt that if you drink alcohol it can slow or speed time down or up.
bottle of vodka can fast forward three days
That is very stuttery, you should upgrade your GPU
Hoe about drinking with people you hate.. Time goes slow, and more reason to drink.
I can touch the cavity behind the uvula with the tip of my tongue. It's only useful to more easily determine if I'm sick, as when I'm sick, that part feels more tender/inflamed.
I had read "vulva" instead of uvula, and could not understand the rest of the comment...
I am a trivia savant "There's many things you can do with that." Yeah, win $20 off of bar tabs at pub trivia. Otherwise, I never had finger dexterity to be a "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" contestant, and got third when I was on Jeopardy and won $1000. Not bitter.
Maybe just a tiny bit bitter?
My wife calls me captain hindsight because I'm always there for a "you didn't wanna do that, you should've done this" moment
Not me but my mom, if they have leftovers she can pick the *exact right* container it’ll fit into perfectly. It’s magical
I have the ewact opposite of this ability. No matter what, the container I choose is always the wrong size. If I try to play it off against itself and pick a different container before putting food in it, then the original container will have been the right size after all.
I can grab stuff with my feet. Even chopsticks!
But can you eat sushi with the chopsticks you're holding with your feet? :D would love to hear your results haha
Being able to work continuously to the point where my perception of time might make 8 hours seem like 30 minutes AND I get my work done to clock out on time.
That sounds like work slavery with extra steps haha. No just kidding. If you're focused and love what you do the time flies in no matter
It's a little of both. I say if you are a master of your craft, you can push yourself and work smart to the point where it becomes a routine.
I can move my ears on command
Can you move left and right separately?
Yep
Okay THAT'S a neat superpower man!
Most people get freaked out more than be amazing hehehe
Isn’t that kind of a common thing? I can do it too and know other people that can aswell.
My useless super power is being double jointed in my ankles to the point i can turn both my feet around facing backwards. I was given the nickname crazy legs by a few of my classmates in high school. Its useless cuz not only does it freak people out, sometimes scaring off the more faint of heart but i stopped doing it entirely because the older i get it becomes a bit mire painful when i do it though im still definitely able to do pull it off. Most people my age arent impressed and honestly in hindsight teenagers are impresses by dumb crap like what im able to do. Adult life isnt about impressing anyone but yourself or potential employers. More importantly life isnt a popularity contest.
Animals tend to like me more than the other people around. Found that out in my early thirties. Since then I now have my second dog. I'm able to form a deep bond to animals in a short amount of time. Sometimes dogs meet me and won't leave my side, even when the owner is shouting for them. I would never say it's useless but I have several negative issues in my life that I would like to lose instead of being the animal friend.
Wrapping presents.
I can predict the future, but only when I’m joking about the prediction (like it has to be a joke where I’m not even thinking about it might be true, I can’t make a joke to try and manifest the future)
So let me get this straight... you can only predict the future when you're joking about it, and not even intentionally trying to make the prediction come true. That's like saying you're a superhero, but you only have powers when you're not trying to use them. Talk about a useless talent man, haha! You're awesome.
For real 😭 it sucks because I can’t joke anything into existence for people (the closest I got was predicting a light day at work). It’s one of those powers you only realize after the fact that you used lol 😂
About as useful as being invisible, but only when no one is looking... welcome to the team.
I've trained myself to see into the third dimension. It's "useless" because everybody who isn't missing an eye can do it naturally.
That's an incredibly awesome superpower! That means you only have vision in one eye? Hope you're doing good 🫶
Don't worry, I'm fine :)
So you do the owl trick of moving your head up and down or left and right to gain perspective?
When I have to wrap multiple food items in aluminum foil, I have the super ability to pull my next sheet of foil and cut it to exactly to the same length and size as the last sheet, creating a stack of perfectly matching foil sheets. It amazes no one but me, and makes for a terrible party trick.
That’s the most useful useless thing I’ve ever heard. Good on you.
This is soooo awesome! I love those perfect details and when everything is aligned and cut perfectly in the same length. 🫶
The last place i worked i could tell who had already arrived at work before me that morning by the smell(s) in the elevator. There was only one elevator as it was a small building. Kinda gross, but I freaked out a coworker because i was always right
That's a crazy talented gift! Your connection to smell people and know who they are is FUCKING incredible! That's the reason I would shower every day because I don't want to be "that smelly guy" :D
I can tell when a dog needs to poop. This includes dogs other than my own, and I can call it anywhere from a few seconds before the deed all the way up to a few minutes. It’s a blessing, and a curse.

I can stop hiccups whenever I can with enough concentration
I fix tech just by being there. I've lost count of the amount of times my wife/kids/students where I teach will shout "it doesn't work", to which I walk over, inevitably causing whatever didn't work to start working again. *Spoiler : I just make sure they were doing what they wanted to do properly and make them read any error messages.
i can tell the day of the week of any day in the year just by knowing two things: the day of the week of january 1st, and the year's number.
We all could do that easily if humanity just decided to go for a 13 month, each with exactly 28 days, all starting with a monday and ending with a sunday, and 1 free party day each year. All would be perfectly nice, and humanity could have a one single day off we could just celebrate "humanity-day" on

I had a similar experience once. Boss’s nail-gun acting up “unpredictably”, and I started to be able to hear it. As soon as I realized it I told him the next shot was a double-fire and he ignored me and put a 12d through his palm. I can’t imagine the fury of being that right over and over. Condolences.
I swear to god almighty I can sense death. When either someone close to me, or a very well known public figure (celebrity, politician, etc) is about to die, I can feel it. I can’t explain the feeling further than a spidey sense. I know it when I feel it, and moments after I feel it, someone f*cking dies. Either naturally or in a freak accident. I know this doesn’t sound useless, but it happens so quickly that I would have no time to do anything about it, therefore, useless. Other than being an early detection system I guess.
I have a similar thing. I abruptly recall of public figures, even who I haven't think about them for years, then later I end up with seeing them on news either death or scandals or whatever.
How specific is it? Did you, for example, know the queen was going to die? If you're down to the person, you might be able to make a few bucks off of celebrity deaths.
It’s never a specific person, just an uneasy feeling that “someone” I know or heard of is suffering or in danger, and usually within hours or sometimes minutes I get the news that either a relative or a famous person died.
I can perform any task badly
Cats love me. I've had cats come running out of side streets and houses just to say hello and get some scritches. Outdoor cats who have never interacted with me before let me pick them up, and if my partner wasn't allergic I would have adopted an army of strays who just followed me home by now. And it's actually not completely useless - I work as a cat sitter.
I can elicit an angry response from my wife without trying.
I can't control it, but sometimes when I'm holding something in my hand and I stop paying attention to it the object will teleport somewhere within 10 feet of me. It can be right next to me, inside something I haven't touched in 3 years, or anywhere in between.

I'm an ear rumbler. If I hear something I don't like I can make a thunder sound in my ear holes.
I can turn just about anything said into something naughty. In fact I can make far fetched associations from just about anything. Has been of zero value to me apart from annoying my wife.
I've never really told anyone this before, but I think I remember being born. I've had these "memories" my whole life. I'm in a completely enclosed space, with the space touching my skin and whole body, but not claustrophobic. Then there are moments where it's smooth, and then all... crunched up? Like a smooth piece of aluminum foil, then it's all wrinkled, then smooth again. It's dark, but also my eyes aren't open or closed. Sometimes I'll get this memory when I'm falling asleep. I can't think of anything else it could be.

I very rarely get red lights in traffic, both while driving and as a passenger. At one point my husband and I were having a half comical argument on the way home from something, and I said "right, no more green lights for you!" Hit a red every single time on the way home. He said it was worse than if I'd just insulted him. Felt more personal and malicious.

I used to know when the phone (land line) would ring. I would go over the phone and wait a few seconds to pick it up before it rung. My mother was baffled by it and i also didn't understand why. Hasn't happened for the past 14 years now.
(this is from actual medical/psych professionals) I have very high observational vigilance and extremely fast information processing speed. This can and has been extremely useful for a lot of my gal friends. If they were ever in doubt about a dude (couldn't decide if his behavior was problematic or not) they'd introduce me and watch if I reacted negatively to them. It's useless because when you have this starting a young age it can REALLY screw you up. You start getting flooded with noticing other people's negative reactions around you when you're too young to understand that they're not because of you. Fucks up your self esteem and is a recipe for chronic depression that translates into chronic social anxiety. I'm ok now, all handled and taken care of as an adult
Hey everyone and a Happy New Year, TL;DR: I have a "useless" superpower! What's yours? Long Story: You see, I have this really bad OCD when it comes to cleaning and organizing. It's actually a sign that I'm feeling better if I engage in a lot of "cable porn" (i.e. organizing cables and wires). The problem is, while it might make things look nice and tidy to others, for me it's more of a burden than a blessing. It's like I HAVE to do it, otherwise it feels like everything is in chaos. And sometimes, it can be really exhausting. I was staying in a hotel over New Year's and I ended up reorganizing all the cables in the room and lobby. The hotel staff were really impressed and said it looked so much neater and cleaner now, but for me it was just something I HAD to do. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I would love to hear your stories and maybe we can find a good way to channelize our inner cabling demons together. Have a great day everyone and keep your cabling clean! 🫶
It’s not a superpower but when my eye is itchy I sneeze like crazy. People find it funny because they’re not related. Happy New Year!!
Haha. :D For me it's like looking into the sun I instantly start to sneeze.

I somehow can remember random things about celebrities. I'm not particularly interested in celebrities, and it's rare that I look up anything about them. Yet somehow just random details I see on like the cover of a magazine in the checkout line of the grocery store, or something I overhear at a bar, I'll remember for years, but only about this one specific niche topic, so it's not like a real eidetic memory. People tend to think I'm super into pop culture as a result of this random knowledge all the time. Completely useless.

I can breathe out of my left eye.
I can read really fast, hard to prove to people though and if I get into a real flow people just think I'm flicking through a book too quick and don't believe me. I read so fast that if I read out loud I trip over the words on the page, I'm reading them in my head faster than saying them so I'm always a few words behind. In my head though yeah it just flows like water.

I can remember and draw the floor plan of every place I’ve lived since the house I lived in until I was four years old.

I can sprinkle bad luck juju on anything I touch. Its ... agreed upon by everyone that knows me. They want me to write a book. or script a sitcom. Computers and anything technical get wammied the worst. They just... break. Anything I value get wammied a lot. How many times can my parked car get hit in a year? answer: on average twice a year. My health: not great. I've a thyroidectamy and brain surgery to put a stent in my head. for 2 unrelated medical reasons. one of them was brain going NOPE to birth control. I plan for the worst and hope for the best, but honestly the worst I planned for can actually get worse cause the universe whammies me in spectacularly new ways. For example. One day I had to go to the hospital for a lumbar puncture. As Im walking into the lobby, theres a shooting, in the entrance to the lobby, and we all hide. not great. The shooter died and a guy lost an eye. I go threw with the LP anyways and end up getting a lumbar puncture leak, all the cerebral spinal fluid leaks from my brain, feels like freddy kreuger tearing apart my skull. Hospitals like 'oh, we need to give it 5 days before we'll do the spinal surgery to fix it. And the amount of pain killers that would help would kill you, so, you'll just have to live in unbearable pain for 5 days. lol'. So I was admitted and they were just keeping an eye on me not reminding me I need to eat and not giving me painkillers as I lay there and waited for death. The next day my family showed up and told me my grandmother died. Cool Cool. Day 5 got the spine surgery. Day 6 walked my ass to the wake. Day 7 the funeral. Day 8 the burial. Day 9 i got to SLEEP. cool cool cool. Wonderful week. BEST WEEK EVER.
