I don't think that's relatively minor to most

Public transport would count for USians, maybe cheap flights for Asians

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Pleeeeeeaaasse. It's just one tiny little private jet and maybe one little tiny pilot to fly me. I hate traveling by air so much. What could be less minor? I think you should reconsider.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 5 hours ago

you can get private flights to anywhere legal for about 40k dollars

I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can't seem to figure it out.

I'd settle for a non-shy bladder (a social bladder? An extroverted bladder?)

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I'll trade you! I have to pee about every 20 minutes due to malnurishment as a kid.

Smooth joints, by the time I was 14 I already had clicky joints and now if I stand or sit in the wrong way I need to click them back in

My ankles, wrists, fingers and hips pop so loud the secret police would hear it from down the road and bust me in the attic

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 20 points 23 hours ago

Executive function.

A properly functioning neocortex.

[–] frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 8 points 21 hours ago

A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.

The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Make an OK symbol with your middle finger

Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)

Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)

Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is

If it works, it'll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it's still muffled, it's likely stiff.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

I definitely misread this and thought you said to put my index on my palm, so I was doing it that way, resting my thumb in my index finger. Definitely not as good as the actual method. Absolutely needs practice, though. Thanks for the help.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Which finger do you use other than your thumb? I use my rong finger, but I've seen others that use the middle. I'm sure some wierdo is out there mastering the pointer thumb technique

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Middle. I've never heard of people using any other fiber, so it's what I use.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

the trick is long fingers. the longer, the bigger the snap

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

I feel like long fingers would also help out in other facets of life.

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago

Can confirm, got long fingers, can reach the bottom of most jars.
