Hey reddit, what is your hidden talent?

nhlfan · 3 years

I can ask one question and tell you whether or not you're living a happy, full, and satisfying life.

underweartycoon · 3 years

I can make all women think I'm gay.

momster · 3 years

I can whistle with my fingers (in my mouth) louder than anyone I've ever heard. Although it's not very hidden when in practice.

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue. Although not very hidden when I've had a few.

I can grow another human being in just nine months. Although not very hidden for very long.

I also do some writing, again, not very hidden since people ask me to write their resumes.

I guess I'm just an open book!

No one at work, or outside my immediate family, knows that I cook a fancy gourmet dinner every night, just because.

I can read Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphics, and Old English. I've been studying them since I was a small child. in addition, I also speak French & German. English is my native language.
Like you, OP, I also dabble in creative writing, ocassionally, but I haven't written anything in over a year- school just keeps me too busy. just as well, I draw my own illustrations. one day, I hope to paint some of them.
I study Astronomy, so I have some good knowledge about that. it really surprises people, for whatever reason.
I can skateboard.
I can read literature written in the Early Modern style and have no trouble understanding most of the words (surprisingly, French helps a lot).
Pretty good with computers, and can do some very basic programming.
Can play several instruments: Electric Bass, Piano, Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, and I also used to be fairly good with the Trumpet.
lastly, I know how to properly shoot a weapon, both cartridge and bow & arrow.

it's taken a long time to acquire my long list of talents, and a lot of work and dedication. most of them, I learned on my own and on my own time.

In high school, I quit playing basketball for a year and I had a lot of free time. I ended up making a lot of stuff out of duct tape. My proudest creation was a jacket that I made entirely out of duct tape. It was like 4-7 rolls worth, and it worked, it didn't breathe at all and it was warm.

I didn't wear it often, but one day I was feeling bold and I wore it to high school. I got a lot of compliments from people, and a lot of wtf is wrong with you glances and looks of concern. But then some jackass threw a pizza crust at me, couldn't tell who it was.

I found it in my garage about 6 months after I made it, it was ripped in half. One would think just adding more duct tape would have fixed it, but ironically, more duct didn't work. RIP Duct Tape Jacket.

Hey Niqulaz: put your short stories online. If you want money out of them, add some advertising. You don't really need to have a larger project than one short story at a time. But if you write enough standalone short stories, you'll end up with a book anyway. If enough of them end up relating to the same people or topic, you'll have a novel.

In 2004 I wrote a single short story about my first car online, and it was a hit. So by around 2006 or 2007 I ended up having all this content online about it. You don't have to try to write the great American novel: just write a short story every once in a while, and you might be surprised with what you end up with down the road.

I throw cards.

I use random Magic: The Gathering. They have a nice weight.

One time we were throwing cards at each other and I broke the skin on his neck. Good times.

I attract hobos and drunken people. Scarily often when me and couple of friends are walking/minding our own business there is one coming up to talk to me. I don't mind tho, quite often they have cool stories to tell.

They might do that to loads of people, but out of the group it's always me they pick

Feifner · 3 years

I can whistle with just my tongue, and sigh really really loud. I am fairly good at pencil spinning. I have been drawing dragons on every page of my notes for the past 2 years and hopefully by the time I graduate from college I can also be a master of dragon drawing.

I have two:

I can cut almost any material into two perfect halves. Paper, 2x4's, M&M's, you name it.
I have been able to drive any vehicle that I've ever come across. Tractors, cars, motorcycles, cranes, forklifts, front-end loaders, backhoes, excavators, motor boats, launches, sailboats, doesn't matter. I'm looking for a helicopter to try.

akallio9000 · 3 years

I saw this trick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBfxcw4jC00
on the Tonight Show in the early '70's, IIRC the guest could snatch 110 U.S. pennies, I got up to 150. And I have small hands for a guy! If you try it, make sure you're in a small room with no fragile objects, it's easier to pick them all up, and if you're fast enough to have a chance, those pennies are wicked projectiles if you don't snatch them all.

kingofbigmac · 3 years

I can usually tell if someone is lying.

I am pretty good at spitting gum out of my mouth and making it in the trashcan. Even with obstacles in the way.

Call me artistic but, I always have this thing for photography. It's when i spend countless hours just to capture the perfect shot. My favorite subject is taking pictures of little girls in my dark basement. I wonder why they never stay with me for long. Anyway, If i lose another one then it's just a short walk to the nearest playground or park. No biggie.

YarvinTheFish · 3 years

I can clap with one hand. I can do this with both hands. Yes I know how confusing that sounds.

Hiding my talent. Thanks, jerk!

mmm_burrito · 3 years

I am the original Good Luck Chuck.

In all seriousness, once I date a woman and we break up, she will meet a guy in the 12 months that she will marry. Actually, if I so much as crush on a woman, she's as good as wed. You might think I'm joking, but I can track this back to high school, and my record is very nearly 100%. My record is 2 weeks from breakup to meeting her new husband.
