The newest fairphone doesn’t have a US distributor yet. The last gen one does

That reminds me that sometimes I can feel people behind me from their body heat, even while outside. My main assumption is that I’m feeling the infrared that’s emitted

I can pop my arms out of my shoulder joints, without using my hands, and back in again. Completely painless, but can sometimes do it by accident if I’m leaning against a doorframe etc, or pushing/pulling against something, so I have to be careful.

Have you been diagnosed with any hypermobility disorders? You might want to look into some and check with a doctor, because some of them have pretty nasty side effects since they lead to most connective tissue degenerating, even inside your heart

Same. Honestly, I’m fine with the limit since the more extreme versions of hypermobility tend to also come with big downsides

I can do this too!

Not so neat is my aparent genetic resistance to pain meds and anesthetics. Caused some “fun” in a hospital stay

Are you a redhead? Apparently that’s a fairly common trait for them

I have hypermobility, but a mild form that just lets me bend my fingers back without any of the major problems associated with it.

My hands and feet are slightly adhesive when they’re any wetter than bone dry, so you can hear a faint peeling sound when I walk barefoot in the house, even a little bit on short carpet. Think peeling scotch tape and reduce it by 50%.

I can also control the muscles responsible for equalizing the pressure in my ears, and that allows me to put them under a slight vacuum to slightly dampen loud noises.

I also have long toes. Not to the extent of a chimp, but I have successfully signed my name with them before (though even lower quality than signing with my left hand).

I also cannot cry from cutting onions. This sounds awesome until you’re cutting 3 bags of onions in one go and you learn that the tears dilute the sulfuric acid that forms. That was a painful evening.

I’ve grown to hate vi as I’m building an Ubuntu server, but it’s begrudgingly better than the other text editors I’ve dealt with so far

You’re forgetting that Hexbear and lemmy.ml tend to support Russia and the CCP, both authoritarian dictatorships with Russia being openly Fascist. This is because of the general “America bad” viewpoint on these instances.

While the US has its… problems, that doesn’t mean their geopolitical rivals are then magically all-benevolent. Multiple sides in conflict can be shitty, and ignoring the genocides that Russia and China have been committing over the past few years is unacceptable.
