    I don’t cry when I chop onions. If I’m chopping dozens of them, everyone needs to get out of the kitchen because the air will get potent (but I won’t notice).

      I thought I had this superpower, but it turns out I never chopped enough onions. I got a job in a restaurant and I couldn’t even keep my eyes open near the onions.

    I have an uncanny ability to figure out the optimal size container to use to store leftovers. Kneel before my power!

    I know when a timer or alarm I set is about to go off. This sometimes works for timers I thought I set, so it’s kind of useful.

    For alarms, It means I wake up a minute before the alarm

    I have cat-like night vision, and can see just fine in lighting that most people would call “pitch black”.

    I’m very good at finding four-leaf clovers. Its a skill i developed in little league baseball when the coach would always put me in right field, which the kids never hit to because it was little league. So i just stared at the ground and looked for 4-leaf clovers. I kept finding them all throughout my childhood, and my parents alwats told me i’d diluted the luck from one of those things so much that they each only gave me enough luck to find the next 4-leaf clover.

        I wonder if it has anything to do with the person writing the comment being able to choose their username 🤔

    Not really a super power, but I’m deaf since birth, hearing aids since 3 months old, and I can read lips from ten feet away, which means that I can follow a conversation perfectly fine bc I can read lips, while everyone else has to have someone shouting in their ear from a foot away in noisy environments.

    Superpower: catching dropped objects in mid-air, including objects dropped by other people standing near me.

    Unfortunately it’s a function of hypervigilance, which is quite hard on my nerves.

      You are the 3rd person in this post to give this answer - I was going to add this myself, but clearly this is just a regular power.

      I don’t feel special anymore!

    I can figure out how most software and mechanical systems work by poking around them.
