A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

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 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?

Wait until your bank website/app login requires a captcha with the magic eye thing! Bwahahaha.

I have a nervous tick test only comes out in very rare situations (access to a particular weight of cloth at hand height) and caused me to develop a thick callous on the thumb side of the first knuckle on each middle finger.

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's a schooner.

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.

some people have mentioned. on occasion. that my spelling and grammar may not be perfect. My artistic ability is really limited to. Can't think of others but many likely do effect my daily life. My wife could likely give me a good list to work off of.

I have a mildly difficult time tying knots.

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

I have double vision (diplopia).

It's kind of a super power when I think about it.. but not really.

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.
