Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.

I’ll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.

From my immediate environment? I sit on the toilet, the toilet does not sit on me.

the bidet temporarily connects my butthole

with a near infinite series of tubes

containing pure water and in that moment

I am the clean water and the clean water is me

That’s some wild poetry there.

I’m mixed handed. Not to be confused with being ambidextrous.

Mix handedness (cross dominance) is where each hand is used for different things. I write and use silverware with my left hand but if I were to throw a ball or punch something I’d use my right hand.

Most of the time it results in me not knowing which hand doing a particular thing will be most comfortable with until I do it.

I had no idea there was a word for this, I’m the same way.

Large body dominance is different from fine motor handedness, write with right hand but stronger left side, cartwheel left hand first. Or vice versa. It is interesting as heck.

I’m one of the vice versa. Fine motor left handed, strength right handed. But yeah not ambidextrous. Even the cart wheel hand is the opposite. I find it interesting that exactly these subjects are vice versa.

That’s exactly how I am, I found out most of it came from my no-clear-dominance eyes. Quick reaction type stuff I usually use my right side, slow steady stuff I use my left side. Archery, shooting, writing, all left handed. Throwing, punching, Frisbee, right handed.

I agree with the unknown comfort with sides when trying something new. Occasionally I’ll even end up questioning if the other side is better when I do a very infrequent task. It’s like I forgot what hand I normally use

I can basically ride a bicycle forever as long as I eat and drink enough, until the lack of sleep overwhelmes me.

People keep commenting on how extremely fit I must be.
But honestly, if you find the right pace it’s like a brisk walk, and if your bike and your clothes fit, it’s more comfortable than that.

I would think the environment factors into that a lot too. I’ve had 30 mile rides kick my ass more than 80 mile rides due to things like hills and wind. But put me on a stationary bike and I could probably go 150+ miles in a day.

I actually do. I participated in a 1-day 250km group ride in the Netherlands recently. But I did it on easy mode with a road bike, there were people riding a traditional baker’s bike (including the box) while wearing wooden clogs.

I don’t think I ever saw someone wear clogs there. Bicycling on an omafiets/opafiets is the way to do it.

I have a “unique” accent of some kind. Basically, I don’t sound like I’m from “around here”, even though I have lived in the same area for my entire life and so have my parents. Probably because I read a lot more than I actually talk to people.
