Default What's that one thing you can do that puts you in the 1% in the world?

It could be anything, for example:

Solve a rubiks cube in under 5 mins.
Speak 5 languages.
Squat 3x your bodyweight.
Run X amount of distance in under X amount of time.
Be able to paint/draw hyper-realistic portraits.
Able to play 5 instruments proficiently.
Something to do with programming that very few people can do, but you excel at.
Able to identify every flag in the world.
Can recite pi to 100 digits accurately.


It could be absolutely anything.

I’m not sure how prevalent this is in the general population, but I can only wink with my left eye. I’ve met people who can’t wink at all and people who can wink with both eyes, but never someone who can only wink with just their left eye.

I’d like to meet someone else who is the same. Please.

^ I can only click with my right fingers. If we stood side by side, we would make an excellent symmetrical finger clicking band.

What are you winking abilities?

Normal, I'm afraid. How proud that makes me feel. I fit in.

^^^^ Excellent example, Biscuit. My gf can't wink at all, which I thought was insane as I didn't know that was a thing until I met her. Her face resembles an uruk-hai from LOTR when she tries.

Strange you mention it, but I did used to draw pretty realistic portraits, sometimes people, sometimes cats,
Whoever or whatever had an interesting face, I wanted to draw,
But they always amazed people by how hyper-realistic they were.

Woah! We must be twins or something!

I can close my left eye on its own, or both at once, but if I try to close or wink with my right eye it's like I have to screw up my whole face, it's really difficult.

What a strange coincidence!

^ FINALLY someone else! are you left or right handed? I'm right handed (I think you are too) which makes it all the stranger because of that dominance.

@jam People always try to make me wink with the right eye and I tilt my head at the same time as if gravity will be on my side and pull that eyelid down.

@ Mr Nobody, it would be wonderful to see your artwork. There are so many talented artists on this website.

^ no I'm left-handed...

We should form a charity to raise awareness of this unusual condition. Not for any particular reason, just so they know that it exists.
We could call ourselves PWCWWTREAUK (people who can't wink with their right eye awareness UK) and produce flashy TV ads starring minor celebrities.

Offended that you think we'd each only have one thing that puts us in the top 1%.

I have two: nose hair length and finding things to be offended at.

Apparently me being 6 foot 6 tall puts me in the 1% club

Plus I'm left handed and autistic so probably quite rare
