What's a personal weakness you possess that is entirely not relevant to your daily life?
-
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
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.

The magic eye thing is my superpower. Takes me less than a second. If it helps, many of them are so terribly done it still takes me a second to figure out what they were trying to draw.
(It wasn't a sailboat.)

Can't whistle loudly. I can barely do it quietly. I certainly can't do that badass thing where you put fingers from both hands into your mouth and blow.
I once told someone, "I can't do it, but I've seen people demonstrate it. You have to push your tongue back so it curls up, and..."
Then I demonstrated what I was shown, and it worked!
And then I was never able to do it again.

I always felt uncomfortable in country-themed nightclubs.
Same with me, but especially when the country is 1930s Germany.

I can't make upside down hand eye goggles. Image for context below.
Thanks, now I know I have this weakness too

wrote last edited by [email protected]I can't whistle with my fingers. Like thr thumb and index finger ring or just both pinkies. Totally understand the principle of it with splitting the air (I've even made flutes and ocarinas from clay), but just can't do it with my fingers.
But I can whistle equally as loud inhaling as I can exhaling.

Needles make me faint. They don't hurt too much, but... If I see one going in, the next thing I generally see is people crowded around trying to revive me.
Hell, I just started to see stars! I'm lying down, for eff sake!
It's not blood either, I've been first on the scene a few times now and given first aid to some pretty messed up injuries.
I had a headache injection once, and the doctor mixed the drug with a giant needle as a stir stick, and he didn't even get the real needle out before I was face down on the floor.Luckily I don't have it quite that bad I am just very uncomfortable with it.
Sprained my knee really badly once and the doctor used a giant syringe to drain some fluid after the swelling hadn't gone down much after a couple weeks. Really didn't like that, wasn't even close to passing out, but can't think I've ever been more uncomfortable.
Similarly I've also been on-scene with some pretty nasty injuries, and I work in 911 dispatch, I'm generally not bothered by too much.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I have this same problem and my wife is actually from Mexico City and I travel to Mexico pretty often.
Itâs really fun though, I refer to our chihuahuas as âlos perritosâ but it sounds like âlittle fartsâ due to my pronunciation. Her family loves having me read things in Spanish poorly as if I donât know the language (which is hard!).

I only found out a few months ago that nightclubs aren't a creation of Hollywood. They are definitely not for me. Country-themed sounds even worse.

My fingers are very stiff. If you grab your index finger and gently push it backwards, I've never met anyone who can do that less than me without hurting.

ITT: People who think that never having learned to do some niche skill is a weakness.

Tone deaf. Fortunately I don't do music.

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.
GitHub and all the other sites like it are a bit odd from a UI perspective cuz theyâre catering to both regular users (including the âwhere exeâ crowd) and devs, who need to access the million options git gives and all the extras it doesnât (automated build and testing systems, for example). Going to a project and downloading prebuilt binaries is kinda a tertiary purpose for them, so the UI is more focused on the projectâs source code + build instructions and the tooling to work with those instead.

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? -

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

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 learned this from The Aquabats!
