        I have a loose scalp, I can make it appear as if I’m wearing a wig.

            Whistle with my fingers, took a good few weeks of practice over one summer blowing spit all over my fingers but eventually I learned. Still a really useful skill today.

              Writing cursive. But after seeing my coworkers I could just say writing, there’s this kid in particular that he barely knows how to hold a pen. And I’m supposed to be the one without an education.

                          I can swallow air and belch on command. Maybe I should list it as one of my skills on my resume

                              I learned how to fixand build things with my dad and grandpa. Now I’m a mechanical engineer and use those same principals I learned from them 30 years ago.

                                  I learned how to fix and build things with my dad. Now I have a list of projects to do around the house because I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay someone $1000 to install $300 of flooring…

                                  I can usually tell by someone’s gait and posture whether or not they’re likely to try to hit someone in the next hour or so. If it seems likely I offer them drugs. Usually by the time my coworkers are able to tell it’s too late to offer.

                                      I don’t feel like hitting anyone but can I have some drugs anyways?

                                                    Rules: (interactive)


                                                    1) Be nice and; have fun

                                                    Doxxing, 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 spam

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


                                                    4) NSFW is okay, within reason

                                                    Just 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.

                                                    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

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.


                                                    8) No Bots.
