Back in university, I studied basically all day long, which was tiresome after long sessions of study, even if with friends. My great superpower is that it used to just take me ~10 seconds of resting with my eyes closed to feel a huuuuge boost of energy that lasted for 1-2 hours. After that boost expired, I just did it again.

Incredibly useful.

Hyper-compartmentalization. Everything can be falling apart around me, high stakes, emergency, danger, but I just proceed calmly and steadily toward the goal. I am a rat in a maze, and each decision is just an ab node in a tree. I make best guesses and don't shoulda woulda. If I can't make it and everything is horrible, that was the outcome, I did the best I could with the knowledge/data given, or I put in what I felt was right, and if I'm wrong, oh well.

I guess we are only talking about the oddly specific ones so.

I like acidic foods so much, that I drank a cup of vinegar once, and survived.

My teeth are also weirdly resistant to decay.

Books. I own probably a thousand physically, have hundreds of thousands of PDFs and epubs between my laptop and NAS.

The superpower is that I have a book “sense.” I know about where each book I own is - my shelves are not organized in any meaningful way, because I’m ADHD and will just pull one out to look at something and reshelve it. I’m not at home right now, but I can imagine my shelves and stacks in my head - can tell you where Palestine and the Palestinians or The Forty Days of Musa Dagh or the beautiful English translation of the 左传 or House Made of Dawn or the book on Scottish coins i thrifted a few days ago all are.

I can look at almost any given strangers bookshelf and recognize/have read at least one of their books. I navigate libraries by feel and don’t need to look up books.

I also read inhumanly fast I think, and have somewhat of an eidectic memory for text. It’s been almost twenty years since I read The Great Gatsby but a student brought it up and I was able to do a 45 minute lecture on it, with quotes from memory.

I’m also prodigious at sex. I’ll read more books in a week than most do over their life, and I’ll also fuck more people in that week than most do over their life.

I can smell ants too, and it's been useful here in the land of fire ants...

I'm really, really good at peeling oranges with my bare hands (or at least I used to be in grade school when all my friends would make me do it for them). The problem is, I hate the taste of oranges so I never use this power.

I can crack my elbows like knuckles by just extending my arms. My brother can do it too, but I've never met anyone else who can do it.

I can make my wiener dance but that's about it with superpowers

I can move my scalp and wiggle my ears. Nobody else I've met seems to be able to.

I can speak Finnish.

I have an impeccable nose for work BS.

When a new initiative or proposal or project or just a simple inquiry comes my way, I seem to have a really good instinct as to how feasible/likely this project will come to fruition. BS projects get tossed into a corner, Non-BS projects get attention.

99.9% of the time, the BS projects are cancelled or get completely rectified into non-BS projects before I had to waste a single calorie on them

90% of the time, the non-BS projects are actually developed or, if cancelled, it's due to forces outside of our control

The consequence of this "power" is that I am rarely busy since I don't waste time on the BS and I get solid work done as I can move the time to the non-BS stuff... 23 years into my career I have never been late for a delivery or caught with no progress on a request

I can rumble my ears. It's not at all useful and often highly annoying.

My sister and I were talking about benign superpowers and decided the X-Men probably have someone like a band director with a superpower like perfect pitch who watches after the school while everyone else is off adventuring.

i can breathe in strong winds

Reminds me of the show "Extraordinary". Watch it, if you got the chance. It's really funny and also deals about pointless superpowers.

Knowing a timer is almost ready to go off.

I have this stupid sense to know that any timers I set (for cooking mostly, but other tasks around the house too) are very close to going off. Without watching the time when I set them with Alexa, if I ask how much time is left, it generally is always < 10 sec left. If it happened somewhat often, that'd be over thing, but this happens like 80% of the time.

I've even had 12h timers (slow cooking, etc) where I've checked once the entire time and it was within 10 to 30 sec remaining.

Nothing to do with my time management skills though, because I'm still late to all events. Whoops.

I aquired this superpower trough habits, but i can intuitively find the north.

Apart from that, well, I'm just myself
