Remember people’s names or faces
That’s actually a cognitive disorder called Prosopagnosia.
And welcome to the club - I had a stroke and while luckily all major deficits returned to normal with timely treatment, I developed prosopagnosia.
It’s fairly freaky at times. While it’s not my main job anymore I still work as a paramedic occasionally - and when I get a massive trauma at three o’clock in the morning I can hand it over in the ED to the full resus team with every detail without looking into my notes once. But if they ask me for a name I need an ID card or my notes.
Thanks, I’ve never been diagnosed or anything but it’s something I’ve had trouble with all my life, kind of just learned to be very wary about various social situations because I’d get it wrong a lot.
Snap my fingers. That or whistle.
Pic of fingers please
What are you working with?
lol
That took me longer then it should have to get that joke
That’s a joke ? Seems to me they wanted to see if said fingers were appropriately formed for the study & practice of snapping
Picx of fingers please (to see if they are broke and how long are they)
What are you working with (hammer, pliers, wrench, door frame)
I’m lost. So utterly lost
I can’t even think of an answer to this question.
Well congrats today is your day. You came up with an answer.
whistle
tell when it’s about to rain by looking at the sky
I can tell when its going to rain by the feel of the air
I should think for a few seconds before talking about right or left directions. I sometimes make mistake when I say it without hesitation!
Me too!
Keeping my systems (laptop, smartphone,…) properly maintained and functional (software-wise).
They are always just a barely functioning mess hanging on a last thread. Getting around bugs instead of finding fixes, ignoring non-critical errors, using 50 simpler tools instead of 1 more complicated one because it feels easier at first, holding off-of updates because it absolutely will break something in my stupid setup, doing something in a simpler stupider alternative way instead of doing it properly,…
Basically a software equivalent to old beaten up laptop you got for free that has broken plastic fixed with duct tape, few broken keys, half of the screen’s backlight not working and charging connector holding on velcro.
Sounds like my old 1st gen Nintendo DS.
Broken hinge, hold together by glue and 2 threads of fishing line.
Still has battery :DThis is why I’m tempted by sysadmin or devops jobs. I get to spend all day on cleanliness and basic maintenance like that.
Two things at once.
A great deal of studies have proven the latest conventional wisdom: multitasking is a myth.
If it takes you 5 minutes to focus on and complete task A and 10 minutes to focus on and complete task B, trying to do them both at the same time instead of completing one and then completing the other guarantees it will take you longer than 15 minutes.
It very much depends on the task. So long as the tasks don’t overlap, in cognitive requirements, you’re fine. E.g. you can listen to a podcast, while washing up. As soon as the requirements overlap, then your point holds. E.g. I personally can’t write anything down, while listening to an audiobook. The resource requirements overlap.
It’s also worth noting that different people can do the same task with different parts of the brain. E.g. accurate timekeeping. Some people do it visually, others audibly etc.
Well yes, was primarily referring to executive function. But even podcasts or really good music can start to sap our focus. If you lose focus for even just a moment, you’ll probably not make up that time.
There’s two ways to really do two things at once. Either you find a way to make them one more complex thing in your mind, or you juggle your focus between them.
This is good for things like reading aloud, reading music, playing two rhythms with different limbs, dancing or other choreography etc.
Calculate a fucking tip
Alternatively, pressing 0 can be quite easy.
I can calculate 0% of anything in my head quite quickly. Try me.
$73.99?
For a bill of 15.73, move the decimal over once to the left. You get 1.57. (drop the 3). That’s ten percent. Let’s say it’s 1.50.
Half of that is 75¢. Half of ten percent is five percent so now you have ten percent and five percent. Add them together to get 15%: 1.50 + 0.75 = $2.25 = 15% tip.
20% is even easier. If ten percent is 1.50, twenty percent is double that: $3.00
Also if u know what sales tax is in ur state u can double it. It’s 8% I believe in Cali, so I double to 16% and then feels math it up or down
I literally can’t read that.
Whistle
Whistle.
Swim with any amout of grace or skill. I can slowly and sloppily splash my way around thats about it.
Brushing my teeth too close after eating. If I do it, I will throw up.
It’s bad to brush your teeth after eating.
The reason for that is that when acids are in the mouth, they weaken the enamel of the tooth, which is the outer layer of the tooth,” Rolle says. Brushing immediately after consuming something acidic can damage the enamel layer of the tooth.

Did not know that. But I’m not talking immediatly, I mean I’m lucky if I could manage within an hour after eating.
I can’t wink. Other people make it seem so easy, the best I can do is a scrunched up face with a sliver of one eye open enough to see
Often when I try to copy other people’s facial expressions, I realise I have no control over my facial muscles if I try to move just the left or right side. It’s absolutely fine if I move both sides at once but I literally can’t even sense the muscle to move it when I try one side, but my friends can. I can wink though, but I used to do it very unnaturally.
Strange, can you blink at all?
Not sure if you’re joking, but blinking is fine. It’s blinking one at a time that’s the problem
Not joking at all, apologies if that came off as rude
It did not, it’s just that sarcasm/irony is common on the internet, and tone is hard to convey just from written text. I was not offended at all, but thanks for being a nice person on the internet and apologizing anyways!
Associates faces with names easily.
Like I’ll remember who you are, but I won’t remember your name. Got me into trouble a few times
Edit: also forgot, but this includes associating the names of places. Combined with the fact that I can’trememberr paths and situate places I see IRL on a map, I get lost often.
Prosopagnosia is the name of the cognitive disorder you likely have.
Another name to forget!
Put the ball into an open net in Rocket League.
Nice shot
Wow !!
I love flakes road to… Without mechanics videos. My mechanics suck after thousands of hours playing the game but focusing on non mechanical aspects of the game really helped me. Still miss open nets though. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
