Unusual Things About Yourself

Exaltist Ethan

Bridging the Gap Between Believers and Skeptics
I was considering posting this in Jokes but I decided not too because I want people to take this thread semi-seriously, and not post things that aren't true.

Let's hear somethings that are unusual about yourself. As thread creator I'll start.

1 - I belong to a religion whose theology is practiced by about 10,000 people world wide. I am the only syntheist on this forum, despite many syntheists making the Internet their home for religious topics and discussion.

2 - I find Wikipedia to be the most addictive website. Sometimes I can spend entire days just revising different articles I see on it, or cleaning articles up for better standards. I actually have enough edits that Wikipedia granted me free access to their reference library.

3 - I pay hundreds of dollars on Switch games that I don't play (hello Sonic Frontiers), but don't pay nearly the same amount of money for private server MMOs, like SWGEmu and City of Heroes: Homecoming, which I play on a nearly daily basis.

4 - I have a website about my faith which I haven't updated in numerous months, despite advocating and changing my ideas on this website.

5 - I have a fascination with Britpop, and British culture and music in general, despite not being British in either nationality or heritage. But unlike most Americans I'm not concerned with the British monarchy.

6 - I vote Republican despite being part of the welfare class.

7 - I find immense enjoyment making polls, despite my largest poll being shut down and never paying for a polling service. I also enjoy taking polls, especially through pollsters on the phone.

8 - I have an infinity tattoo my left wrist despite not believing that infinity even exists.

9 - I've fantasied being a Christian and what kind of Christian I would be, despite never actually believing in Christianity. At this point I'm not even sold on the idea that Jesus even existed.

10 - I've made over 400 playlists on Spotify and I have over 100,000 scrobbles on Last FM. And although I make my own music, I don't even like most of it and don't listen to it very often.

I could make like thirty more, but you get the picture. Now let's hear what is unusual about you. :)

11 - I am associated with the website Religious Forums despite it being filled with toxic, rude and troll members that have nothing valuable to say to me.

I have a simian crease in my right palm (solid lifeline). This could be why I'm left-handed. Two of them are common in Down Syndrome.

Blood type AB, the rarest.

I had a perfect 800 on my math SAT.

I skipped two years of school and graduated high school two months shy of 16 yo.

All very interesting! Thank you! :D

I forgot to mention that I am cross-dominate - I can do somethings with my left hand, some with my right, but I am not ambidextrous. I write and text left handed but most of my other functions are done with my right.

- The only time I ever attended a school
graduation ceremony was in kindergarten.
- I'm a Libertarian Party member.
- I'm on the board of one of the finest
scrap iron museums in the world.
- I can make my pectoral muscles dance
to Stravinsky's Infernal Dance (Firebird).
- My math SAT score was about 11 times
my IQ.
- And best of all...
I can flare my neck skin like a cobra,
while flicking my tongue in & out.

When I was a hiring manager at a small company we used to have team interviews of people we were interested in hiring. One question we always asked was "tell us something weird or unusual about yourself". The reaction of the interviewee was part of the evaluation. Typically we then followed that up with "we'll start first" (to reduce the typical panic).

The purpose was naturally to see if the person would be a good fit for the team. I used to judge by what I revealed. If the person seemed like a good fit, I'd reveal something relatively extreme about myself and I was going on subliminal perception.

I might talk about my love for Babylon 5, being at the anti-war demonstration where we tried to levitate the Pentagon or something else I won't mention here

Well, I'm happy you're here.

You called?

That post was an over-reaction and an indirect response to the first two replies to this thread. I am actually happy with like 90% of the people on this forum. You know how like 90% of replies can be nice but you find the one or two that isn't and it ruins your day? That's how the first two replies felt for me. I'm happy however that so many people did end up replying with their own unusual traits, behaviors and abilities. :D

Dang, I'm jealous.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous....or cross-dominate or whatever.

I think I put some of this in another thread.

  • I'm perfectly ambidextrous. I'm mostly right handed as I conformed early. Almost all the other kids were strangely right handed. I shoot a pistol better left handed than right.
  • I have what operates as photographic memory and an internal compass. I never get lost. But I can't use the memory for art very well. Just makes navigating superior to most.
  • Both of my thumbs are double jointed, wrists are slender. I can snake out of hand cuffs. It's great for my Houdini impression.
  • I can chew gum and walk at the same time.
  • I can also play (rhythm/lead) guitar and "sing" at the same time. Unless I break out into a blistering shred session. Who sings during those, anyway?
