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

I can only curl the left side too!
What the fuck, same here
I think we are on to something

GitHub and all the other sites like it are a bit odd from a UI perspective cuz they’re catering to both regular users (including the “where exe” crowd) and devs, who need to access the million options git gives and all the extras it doesn’t (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 project’s source code + build instructions and the tooling to work with those instead.
Yeah that's what I meant by "people who use it more probably think it has a better layout". I've tried to use it in the fashion it was designed on a couple of occasions but the version control / repository categorization functions didn't make sense to me. I assume it would if I did those things more but I also think it's laid out differently than I would like even for those purposes.

I can't whistle so always called my kids with a trill sound (like a loud Spanish RR, not Arabic ululation) and it is also my recall sound for the dogs. But I really can't whistle. Can sort of make a sound but it's laughably mockably wimpy.
Can't catch at all either, can throw reasonably accurately most of the time but an object coming at me never goes where my hands think it should. I am shamed by my penultimate daughter, who despite nearsightedness worse even than mine was, and a strong drive to be non-athletic, can pluck anything out of the air, has both lighting fast reflexes and intuitive hand eye coordination. But it doesn't really affect me other than occasional embarrassment - I just pick whatever it is up off the floor after it hits me.
You and my dog sound like you'd have a lot in common. He lets treats bounce off his head and then just eats them off the ground after.

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.
Have you ever woken up in a motel bathtub full of ice?

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 barely whistle, it sounds like a light breeze. I can barely snap my fingers, its more a soft thump than a snap 90% of the time. But hey, I can burp and pop my ears on command, so I’ve got that going for me.

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
Could be! I've often wondered if the problem is something I can't really overcome with practice. I've watched many tutorial videos over the years, but my tongue just ends up doing nothing when I try to practice.

Now that you mention it...

I can snap with my left hand but not my right. I'm right-handed so in theory my right hand should have enough dexterity to do it?

It's not relevant to my daily life but it is sometimes a significant limitation.
I'm one of those that passes out at the sight of blood. A little scratch or something won't send me but actual injury or a lot of medical stuff will get me.
About half of the time I get an injection or blood drawn I'm out. They use those high chairs so the nurses have more ergonomic access to the patients? Nope, I get the recliner, because I'm liable to fall out of that high chair and beat my head on the floor and now the nurse has a big heavy mess to clean up.
Two of my four doses of the Covid vaccine I was out. Was pretty sure it was going to happen each time and I was right twice. Still got all four.
I've done it to my dental surgeon almost every time I've seen him. Has a nasty habit of playing a video tape that explains the risks of tooth removal, and I seldom retain consciousness through the part about possible nerve damage. They tend to leave you alone in a room while this video plays. Even if I stay conscious I go weak and can't really move under my own power, it's really fun to be alone like that.
I'm careful to warn everyone who works in the shop with me that - if you are injured - I'm not going to be able to drive you to the emergency room, you'll have to wait for and pay for an ambulance. So put on your safety glasses and partake in my large collection of push sticks.

I have the opposite problem. Only remember clothes and hair, never faces. It affects my life a lot, though.
I can kind of remember faces but I can't visualize them in my head, despite being able to imagine most other things.
-
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.
Yes! And because of all that, I am profoundly ignorant as to how music works.

I always felt uncomfortable in country-themed nightclubs.
I'm largely redneck and I feel profoundly uncomfortable.

Couldn't admit this to myself until my 40's, but I have a serious mechanical handicap. Doesn't stop me from trying!
We had standard tests in elementary school and I jammed out in the 90+ percentile on most subjects. The last part was called spatial reasoning. Here's 3 shapes, if you put them together, which shape will they make. Stuff like that. Tried really hard, couldn't do it.
I can take things apart pretty well, and I'm good at creative solutions, just can't get the thing back together.

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.
Just tried lol, it didn't work. My eyes don't seem to focus well enough to find whatever is hidden in there.

Auditory processing disorder makes it really hard to deal with multiple people talking.

Regardless of age, weight, or overall fitness, I have never been able to touch my toes when bending over from standing.

How is this a personal weakness?
Wrong answers only, please.
How else do you protect your eyes while staring at the sun?

I have double vision (diplopia).
It's kind of a super power when I think about it.. but not really.
