your useless superpowers

[Chessrook44]

I can sense when a screen is nearby. Less useful with LCD and the standard computer or flatscreen TVs, but the older ones?
I walk by a room, I get a sense, and I can just go "....there's a screen on nearby. I can SENSE it."
Occasionally I can walk by the TV, get a sense, and even though the screen is completely black, I know it's on.
Useless, but I have SCREEN SENSE.

Also, I eat like crap (Like, fast food almost every day) and yet am about 5'9" and 140 pounds as a guy. Nice for me, not nice for the guy who just weighed himself.

Ah, yes, Electric Field Sense. I knew I had forgotten something. I've always wondered if it ties into my constant static charge or rather my super-hearing since it feels like I'm hearing it as a high-pitched whine. You wouldn't happen to have either of those as well?

Au Contraire. I've been told by some that my hearing is terrible. And I don't really hear that with my ears, it's literally just a sense.

I whistle the 'wrong' way. Far more often than not if you ask someone how to whistle, it'll be some variant of "exhale", whether it's a pucker-whistle or a wolf-whistle. I whistle by inhaling.

I also have a very good memory for fiction. It's a bit of a running gag with my friends that I'll rarely miss a reference for something I've seen or read.

 

[Frezzato]

The last time I was tested, I was told I have 20/12 vision. I get distracted by ants on the sidewalk as I walk. I can see things clearly that nobody else can decipher. Hence the useless part. What's the point of seeing things that the world cannot?

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm strangely psychic when it comes to what's going to come on next...Not with everything of course but when I'm listening to my music on shuffle, I'll kind of get a 2-second ear-worm of a different song that that will wind up being the next one played. When it comes to TV, I get the same thing with The Simpsons: Without the help of TV Guide or channel previews, I will know which episode of The Simpson's will be coming on that day. It manifests by me just thinking of a random Simpson's quote which is used in THAT episode. It's weird and useless but I think it's pretty neat.

I have hitchhikers thumbs. I can literally bend them back to right angles.

ME TOO! I blame mine of the fact that I used to really love playing those Neo-Geo machines that local pizza places used to have...also Pinball...and I was addicted to Gauntlet Legends...

 

[Vicarious Reality]

considering my weight can fluctuate by up to 6 kilos a week it's pretty impressive.... but not very useful.

What? How is that even possible?!

------------------------------------

Apparently i have very good memory, since i keep asking my parents about things that happened decades ago and they rarely remember it
Usually my nose is quite stuffed up, but i remember one time i smelled a guy standing on the other side of the parking lot outside these apartments

 

[GrumbleGrump]

I'm kind of forgetful.

I can vibrate my eyes.

I can bend my left thumb a little more than my right thumb.

 

[sageoftruth]

I can talk about politics with anyone regardless of belief or ideology without pissing them off. Kind of useless though, since I often don't know enough about politics myself to reach any meaningful conclusions.

 

[Aerosteam]

I don't have to blink.

 

[Foolery]

I'm colour blind. Not a super power, but worth mentioning I guess.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I have a moderate resistance to cold. I can stand in a T-shirt where most other people need a jacket or sweatshirt. (Unfortunately, in warmer temperatures where most people are comfortable, I'm not; in any room about 65 degrees, if I don't have air flowing past me via a fan or air duct, I will bake in my own body heat to the point where I feel like I have a sunburn.)

I can write in mirror script fairly easily, and I can read upside down and backwards.

[MeatMachine]

Spoiler: I have the amazing ability to deflect all subtle cues of rejection that women throw at me in a desperate attempt to make me understand that I am making them very uncomfortable.

considering my weight can fluctuate by up to 6 kilos a week it's pretty impressive.... but not very useful.

What? How is that even possible?!

I work 12 hour days walking non stop and moving heavy boxes and spend gym sessions leg pressing over half a ton as a warm up.
The only thing stopping me turning into a skeleton is the fact I consume 3 times the daily recommended kilojules on my days off.

Guess this is sorta useful but a childhood of eating cheap pork rolls at shady bakeries has also given me an immunity to food poisoning, I can tell within a couple of bites if something is bad but the sort of food that would send someone to the hospital will just give me a tiny bit of gas and a mild fever.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

I have really good hearing. When I took one of those beep tests with the headphones the nurse said she'd never seen a result as good as mine. She even ran it again to make sure. (That was nearly ten years ago though. Its presumably dulled somewhat with age.)

Above-average hearing is actually a good thing. My hearing is really good as well; so is my sight.

Back in high school, I could tell someone's age just by looking at them. I'd sometimes be off by a year, but I was mostly really accurate, which either astonished or creep people out. Obviously, I can't do that anymore, and I never found out how I was able to do that in the first place.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let see-

I can roll my tongue and flare up my nostril (not many people can do those two).
I can resist the heat slightly above people resistance to heat. People always mention how I can be fine when they are boiling hot.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

When writing a story, my brain will spontaneously start new ones. It can be annoying when I'm trying to finish ideas I've been working on for a long time.

Also, I apparently can do very intelligent essay summations in less than two hours. Procrastination has improved my vocabulary? Sure, I'll take it.
