what arguably useless talents do xf peeps have?
I'll start with a few from off the top of my head: · without even looking, I can grab a lift of paper close enough to the quantity I need. the number of sheets I'm either missing or have extra of is anywhere between 1—10 sheets usually, but there are times I'll grab the exact number I need which is weird.
· I can tell the weight of paper by feeling it most of the time.
· I've gotten surprisingly good at taking a random disorganized stack of papers and straightening it out within a matter of seconds.
· I can immediately tell when a note chart for stepmania is offsync from the music and whether or not it's early or late by as little as 0.2 seconds (lol fuck this shit).
more to add later

I can pick up a box of batteries and tell you how many are inside without opening it up to 24.
I can pick up pretty much any cable and tell you how long it is from the weight of it.
I can ride a pallet jack like no one's business.

patdick has 2*6871 (6871 is prime, you can figure that by dividing by all primes up to 83), tyler has 11*137*23 posts as of the time of this posting. i actually really hate it when friends find out i can do this because then when someone new appears they always make me do some math trick like a circus animal. this is my 23*7*11th post, blame it on the 'tism. i failed a G driver's test cause i was stoned when I did it and hadn't driven a car for like 2 years before i did the test but I can definitely drive a pallet truck and a counterbalance easy as fuck
i can run really fast
i have very high resistance to pain and generally no fears of any immediate dangers
i can find anything in your house if you tell me what it looks like and give me a general vicinity to work with. ask kuldeep.

I can also run fast as fuck but that doesn't seem like a useless ability to me.

i guess it's been a while since I've actually HAD to outrun someone or chase someone, for now it's just been "LOL i run faster than you"

· I can pierce and open most plastic packaging with my thumbnails.
· Assuming they're classic fonts, I can figure out the name of it and which one it is by just looking at it. I can also tell what weight it is in the family (light, roman, bold, extra bold, black, etc.).
· I can tell when something is off-centered by 1/16th of an inch by looking at it.

I can do the off center thing too, not that precise. I wish I knew more typography stuff.
