I think those are the same ants in the southwest us that can find a box of cereal in a vault. Not sure if I could smell just one ant, but they are insanely smelly until you’re too hungover to pay attention and get a mouthful

I could sometimes think what someone else is about to say right before they say it but I'm either delusional or really lucky

wait i'm a supertaster and i fucking hate ants, if that's the scent i can do it too. well i could if i didn't shitbomb the bathroom so often. but you may have legitimately helped me in my lifelong war against the ants (i'm farsighted i cannot see them until i sit down and they crawl up and bite my jibblies thank you)

I can level paintings by hand, and usually on the first try. I still always double check with a level

I believe I once killed a fly with my mind. I had just read an article about a Japanese kid who could supposedly project images onto camera film mentally. The way he described it was building up a storm of energy in his mind and sort of throwing it at the camera. So I noticed a fly on my window right then. I did the same mental exercise, picturing a cyclone of energy whirring through my brain, building up more and more power, and I visualized unleashing it suddenly in a burst at the fly. Pow! The fly instantly fell off the glass and was dead on the windowsill. Either I killed it or it was ONE HELL of a coincidence.

I have an impeccable nose for work BS.

When a new initiative or proposal or project or just a simple inquiry comes my way, I seem to have a really good instinct as to how feasible/likely this project will come to fruition. BS projects get tossed into a corner, Non-BS projects get attention.

99.9% of the time, the BS projects are cancelled or get completely rectified into non-BS projects before I had to waste a single calorie on them

90% of the time, the non-BS projects are actually developed or, if cancelled, it's due to forces outside of our control

The consequence of this "power" is that I am rarely busy since I don't waste time on the BS and I get solid work done as I can move the time to the non-BS stuff... 23 years into my career I have never been late for a delivery or caught with no progress on a request

I can rumble my ears. It's not at all useful and often highly annoying.

I subconsciously hear GIFs and silent videos. On repeating GIFs, the same sound plays over and over. Some GIFs sound satisfying and hypnotic and keep me entranced for a long time, while others are loud and obnoxious and make me scroll away from them immediately.
