I don't think that's relatively minor to most

Public transport would count for USians, maybe cheap flights for Asians

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Pleeeeeeaaasse. It's just one tiny little private jet and maybe one little tiny pilot to fly me. I hate traveling by air so much. What could be less minor? I think you should reconsider.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

you can get private flights to anywhere legal for about 40k dollars

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Almost worth it. I spent 20 hours getting home (Florida) from Canada, 36 hours getting home from Tennessee and 15 hours getting home from Colorado. I'm finding more and more that the airlines have little value-add and that doesn't even include the nightmare that is the TSA .

I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can't seem to figure it out.

I'd settle for a non-shy bladder (a social bladder? An extroverted bladder?)

Smooth joints, by the time I was 14 I already had clicky joints and now if I stand or sit in the wrong way I need to click them back in

My ankles, wrists, fingers and hips pop so loud the secret police would hear it from down the road and bust me in the attic

A properly functioning neocortex.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.

I wish I didn't have this giant penis.

I'm constantly tripping over mine

[–] [email protected] 10 points 21 hours ago

Well spit it out

The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Make an OK symbol with your middle finger

Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)

Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)

Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is

If it works, it'll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it's still muffled, it's likely stiff.

I definitely misread this and thought you said to put my index on my palm, so I was doing it that way, resting my thumb in my index finger. Definitely not as good as the actual method. Absolutely needs practice, though. Thanks for the help.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the trick is long fingers. the longer, the bigger the snap

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I feel like long fingers would also help out in other facets of life.

[–] Birch 6 points 1 day ago

Can confirm, got long fingers, can reach the bottom of most jars.
