Do you have any interesting genetic traits/abilities?

Submitted by KiloNova on April 6, 2026
I find genetics quite interesting, or really just anything interesting in general. I don't personally have anything too rare besides IQ, but I suspect I may have some kind of variation of the DEC2 gene.

However, I do know someone who can shake their eyes and another person who can cry on command.

Do you happen to have anything interesting you?

(also, think this goes without saying, but please don't talk about your third eye or extra limb here)

I can wiggle my ears. Am I a cat? That's up to you.

I might have perfect pitch?

Btw, what's about the third eye and extra limb? I have a friend with one less finger, and one of my relatives had an extra one...

Just don't say anything freaky. I don't usually use 'limb' to refer to extremities though

I used to have heightened senses before COVID screwed it up.

My thumb can right-angle from its base, it's not hitchhiker's thumb, it shifts from the joint below the knuckle.

I used to be able to do that too, well, up until the age of about 14 anyway.

I sometimes look at my hands now at 63, and think they look like my dad's hands when I was younger.

I never had any wisdom teeth, it's not uncommon for people to not develop one or two, but I never developed any

They could be hidden inside your gums.. and take their own sweet time in coming out, or they could get ‘impacted’. Or you could just not have any. Thankfully they don’t have anything to do with actual wisdom.

Considering I've had X-rays done before for whatever they're checking for in my mouth, cavities or whatever, they've never seen any

I am really good at finding stuff. My mom says it might be from my Autism or ADHD.
