    I can't roll my r's. I speak pretty decent Spanish (took 5 semesters in high school), but have never been able to figure out how to roll the r's, despite years of trying on and off to figure it out.

    It's never a problem. On the rare occasions that I actually need to speak Spanish, nobody cares that I can't roll my r's.

    Is it a tongue issue ? a girl I knew in school couldn't do the english "th" because the leash below her tongue was too short

      Wanna do an exchange? For me it's the other way round.
      Do you also have the full package with smaller nostril and ear canal?

      I had that fixed less than a year ago. It has been great!

        I am unable to do the magic eye things, my eyes just don't focus on that way. Good thing I never am required to

        My right foot is almost one size wider than my left foot. Finding a good pair of shoes is hard.

        And I can't remember what kind of clothes people are wearing. Colours, sometimes, but it's like my visual cortex dedicates zero processing power for clothes.

          I can't make upside down hand eye goggles. Image for context below.

            You might have a physical limitation, I've met native people who can't roll their Rs, it's still fairly simple to understand as long as you're pronouncing them as Rs, or something close/distinct enough, e.g. English R (How an English speaker pronounces the R in for example Row)

              Due to an old eye injury, I do not have a functional drain tube for my left eye (that channel that drains from the corner of your eye and into your nose).

              Normally it's not something anyone notices, but in cold headwind and anything else that causes my eyes to water, it looks like I'm crying my heart out but only with one eye.

                Hey OP, I used to have that same weakness, but this tutorial actually allowed me to see the magic eyes things
                https://www.magiceye.com/faq-items/help-how-do-i-see-in-3d/ the two dots made it easier for me to know when I was focusing correctly.

                As for my weakness, I can't whistle loudly, I've tried all the methods people use, but wasn't able to learn any of them.

                  I can't swim. Then again I just never go near deep water and am not a swimming pool enthusiast.

                      A near-complete lack of rhythm and profound tone deafness. I can't keep a beat to save my life, and my singing sounds like the wails of the damned. But like damned chimps or something.

                      Anyway, all music is sorcery as far as I'm concerned.

                        I never learned to ride a bike and every attempt has been met with injuries as soon as I build a modicum of confidence. But I can rollerblade like nobody’s business, so I got that going for me.

                          I had a dream I was rollerblading last night... the last time I put on roller blades was in 2006!

                            Turns out I only have one kidney. Went in for a scan of my bladder (which was fine), and the nurse doing the scan just casually mentioned it. I had no idea. I was 43 at the time.

                              How do you slow down / stop with rollerblades? I had the reverse experience: any kind of hill, I'm fine on a bike but I always crash on rollerblades. I would love to learn though.

                                I have the same problem, except one day I figured it out! I was rolling rrrs all day! But the next day I woke up and could only sort of do it. And now I can't do it at all again, despite trying to learn.

                                  I have a nervous tick test only comes out in very rare situations (access to a particular weight of cloth at hand height) and caused me to develop a thick callous on the thumb side of the first knuckle on each middle finger.

                                    I have the opposite problem. Only remember clothes and hair, never faces. It affects my life a lot, though.

                                          I'm with you on github for sure. I assume people who use it regularly think it has a decent layout but to me it seems so random and disjointed that I can't imagine how that's possible.
