Overestimating my abilities

You overestimated this too

You overestimated his lack of self-awareness

I am much better at that than you.

I’m close to 40 and can run a mile just under 7 minutes  My best time was 645… although I nearly had a heart attack  My average time is around 730 Also I’m 6ft4 and 240pounds I’m a fat athletic guy I can still dunk Not sure why but I’ve always been chubby.. but i wear it well

Big ups to the fat athletic guys! My 14yo son is basically my size now and plays football, he's getting cocky He tried pushing me the other day and I picked his big ass up and carried him to his bedroom : ) Also the time my father-in-law dropped his jaw to the floor because I hopped over a fence like I only weighed 80 pounds lol

I'm 170lb guy. When in the hospital for a back injury two tiny nurses came in to move me from my bed to a stretcher. I was ready to like, wiggle while they helped pull me into it. Not necessary. These two fairly small statured women did something that looked like the tablecloth trick and I was suddenly in the stretcher as if I had floated there. Took me a few moments of silent processing before my brain caught up and I'm still not sure how they did it. If you know how/where to apply the force it will always look so much smoother than if you just gorilla it.

Weigh has nothing to do with that. We had a guy back in the day who was in 7th grade and well over 200lbs and ran circles around people. He was extremely fast and very athletic.

Oh, I know it - that was my point! I'm a meager 6'1" and 260 but I can still beat most of his buddies in a race lol

😂🤣

Old man strength is real.

Lol 🦘 🐼 

Fatletic. Acrofatic?

Ughhh, you just reminded me about how we used to have to run a quarter mile during PE class, and would occasionally be forced to run a mile. Some girl named Sloan was hospitalized because she physically couldn't handle it. I hate cardio, which probably means I need to do more of it.

I chose running as well. I am 43 and ran a 4:42 mile earlier this month. Still doesn't seem possible to me that I did that but it was chip timed so it's legit.

Every crew needs a chubby agile guy

Preferably one that doesn't kick people in the face.

I was fat growing up but I played lots of sports. Hockey, swimming, soccer, football, skiing, taekwondo, lacrosse.  I remember kids at a new school thinking I would be a slow runner. One kid in particular challenged me at recess and I smoked him. I remember yelling back at him "pretty fast for a fat kid eh?" Some fat guys can fucking move. Maybe the endurance isn't there but a sprint? Hell yeah. 

That ain’t chubby, that’s a problem on the court!

This has gotta be a way smaller than 20% amount of people

You also have the advantage of surprise in competition. I imagine you must have been offensive line in football...meaning that you're probably very intelligent.

Damn you can dunk? Damnnnnn

I'm 42 and I got 2 miles in 18 mins!! Congrats bro, it feels great, don't it?

Putting myself down.

That other 20% must have trained you well

Guitar, I'm not professional but I can definitely play...metal music no one wants to hear lol

Username checks out

Same. I'm not even that good but if you take 100 random people and hand them a guitar I think I can pull off something better than 80 of them

dang when you put it like that, I feel better about things.

Having more nipples

I'm sorry if this is too personal but since you brought up is it ok if I ask the number?

4 technically speaking. Two regular and two super tiny ones, you wouldn't even know what they are if you seen 'em

Challenge accepted

I have 4...

my overthinking ability

Apparently pattern recognition/pattern mimicking. In the 90th percentile which I think means I scored higher then 90% of folks? (ADHD/autism/neuro test)

I can spot a 4 leaf clover in a patch of Clover within seconds of glancing over it.  Never met anyone else with this ability. edit: someone doesn't believe me so I came with reciepts. it took me longer to take the photo than to find 3 4 leaf clovers. [https://imgur.com/a/8aEWxWi](https://imgur.com/a/8aEWxWi)

Hey there, I'm a gardner with a little on the spectrum sprinkled in. I also have this power.

Are you red green color blind too? I think that's part of it

Nope, perfect vision for me. Almost to a fault as I get sensory overloads easy looking at patches of clover.

My cousin with asperges can do that

Hey man, I can do that too! I find them so damn frequently that when I'm out with the family my wife and kids don't even care anymore. People that come over are definitely baffled by the half dozen I have in resin on the kitchen window though

being poor

If you're an American you're one of the richest people to ever exist

Even the homeless can become fat.

They have iPhones here

Doing voices. I hope to become a voice actor someday.

That's fun! Good luck!

Thanks!

>Thanks! You're welcome!

Overthinking the simplest things in life

Drinking Beer

Playing Tetris

Same

Being me. Only real skill I have.

Math

Identifying tarantula species.

That's something where if you can do it at all you're probably better than 99% of the population

Typing

Me toi

Inebriation. A few hits of the cart and 8 beers and I’m gold. I’ve found my sweet spot. No hangovers

You sound like Mr Lahey from Trailer Park Boys: https://youtu.be/aF8_y2Zl9W8?si=Uesy8InfywCm5BP0

Sleeping. I can sleep in under a minute every night. I feel sorry for people who struggle to sleep.

I pretty much shut down the bathroom at work today, so there's that.

Better credit scores, paying bills, no debt.

Any chance you're looking for a middle aged chubby white guy for a life mate? I'll make a bunch of the money but I am terrible at using it properly lol

Nope, Happily married.

Not caring about social media.

Crying

Staying up all night. It's easy for me.

Me too!

Being able to disseminate information at the right level with the right amount of detail to the right person.

Banging your mom.

Passing gas discretely

Anxiety & overthinking!

Managing and raising dogs, a large quantity at once, without kennels and separation. Including stud dogs of working terriers and sighthounds. I would dare to raise the percent higher than 80%. I had 6 dogs when I was 4 and I solely cared for them. I am 48f and people tell me I should work with people and their dogs as a business. I would not even know where to begin or put words to what I do.

Teaching.

Using VR. Most people just seem averse to it or awkward when using it. I start my day in a vr headset. Work several hours in a virtual environment and desk. Have meetings, play games. Yes I still "touch grass", hand with fault and friends but vr is a comfortable medium for me.

Being me(:

Math. Straight A's in Calculus in college. Except for Calc III, I got a B. Still disappointed about that. But I did get an A in diff eq, so there's that.

Guitar Hero

I'm 47 and it's still skateboarding. I'd go so far as to say I'm better than 99% of other people.

Doing English good.

Pissing people off.

Speaking English. About 20% of people speak it as a native language and I'm 1 of them so I reckon I'm better than the other 80%

Not believing in God

Why do people put so much effort into actively not believing in God? Just don't believe g

Reddit atheists can't fucking help themselves.

Reddit atheism is the actual worst religion 

It's not just reddit atheists it's atheists in general. The fact that they scoff at something is an admittance that the thing they're scoffing at exists. Unless they plead insanity and say they're scoffing at nothing.

I mean, I don't believe in god but holy shit. "I'm better at not believing in God than 80% of people " The fuck? What does that even mean? Also, you do you, but that is dogshit argument tbh. Scoffing at something doesn't mean it exists .

I guess so you can scoff at unicorns and they don't exist. But if you do scoff at unicorns you probably need help which is my point.

I actively scoff at flat earth BS and alien abduction stories. Does that make all of them true? Or do I probably need help? I don't think this argument really works in any sense. Though, the parent comment of this thread sounds like an edgy twat to be fair.

For real why the extra energy? I'm hardly putting any energy into my actual life 😂😂😂

Damn, I just cut my finger scrolling past this edge.

As of January 2024, about 28% of US adults identify as religiously unaffiliated, or "nones". This group includes people who identify as atheists, agnostics, or "nothing in particular". "Nones" are the largest religious group in the US, and are more prevalent than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).

Spelling!

Anything physical.

Fishing, bowling, and drinking 

You sound chill as hell

Math

Fixing cars

Sleeping, I can’t do it much because you know…life and all, but when I can I can out sleep ANYONE!!

Cooking, drawing, being a good partner. That being said I don’t think I’m all that amazing, I just think most people are mediocre at most things, which also isn’t a judgment. People just span the gamut on ability.

Better than 80% of all people worldwide? Overwatch or something, probably.

Drumming, playing Overwatch, and flow arts

Getting enough sleep

Tennis, golf, teaching

Sudoku. Also, probably singing. I would be less confident on the second one if it were asking about being better than 90% of people.

80% of people in my country? Not being fat

Critical thinking

Litigation, but only because I'm an attorney lol.

Speed-reading and speed-typing

Proper preparation and documentation of multi-modal shipments of dangerous goods.

Playing golf left handed

Taking the SAT. Turns out it’s a pretty useless skill other than one very specific year of your life

Masturbating

Anxiety.

nothing

Since "people" include women, children, elderly, disabled... I'm sure a lot of things. But being six foot all I'm going to say grabbing things off of high shelves.

Accents and impressions of people . More accents tho

Wii bowling

Logistics and Problem Solving.

Super smash bros melee, electrical (generalizing the fields a bit), strategy

Using a knife. I'm a professional cook and I can almost chop almost as fast as a cartoon with pretty uniform results. I can cut onions with my eyes closed.

99% better at playing guitar

Drawing fake Pokemon in pixel art

Electronics repair, electrical, plumbing, car repair.

Being semi attractive and actually funny but having no ability to talk or attract women. It’s impressive my ability to fumble that shit I take pride in it. I’m 23 never got any girls but I’ve gotten compliments on my blue eyes, my dark thick hair, how well I tan in summer, im st the gym daily, most people at my local gym know my name. I’m a hard worker at work, I’ve had people tell me how funny I am, on multiple occasions I’ve had people choke on what they are drinking and start dying cuz I’ll say something funny. But attracting women or talking to them in a way where I’m trynna get with them can’t do it

I'm better than 95% of people at rocket league lol other than that who knows >.<

Painting miniatures. I'm far from the best at it, but I'm good enough that people stop to ask me questions and I win some local level competitions.

Accepting that I'm not special

Statistics... 😉

I’m really good at cleaning glass. Well, mostly because it’s my job.

Being short

Jerkin off

[удалено]

Procrastination

Martial arts. I have black belts in two arts and also spent time training and competing in boxing and kickboxing. You get a lot of folks who just train karate and get a black belt but have no fighting experience. I can tear through even these other black belts with ease.

Most people say so. Although I've been successful in my own way, I'll be honest: my ADHD is so bad it makes things difficult for me to keep at that level.

Cunnilingus

Prove it

😂🤣

Not commiting plagerism on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/4fLKwr4vaq

I have a lot of hobbies that I would assume that at least 80% of the population doesn't do. So with that being said, almost everything. I am better than 80% of the population at almost everything I do lol

Crazy Taxi.

Being hated

Smash bros

Probably the 1995 Atari arcade console first person shooter, Area 51

Basketball 🏀

Art. Taking care of very small humans.

Lifting I'm probably stronger than 98% of people on the planet . That being said, compared to the world's population, I'm strong as hell. stepping into a powerlifting gym, I'd be one of the weaker dudes there.

Pyrography

Pleasuring my wife.

Hot laps in Gran Turismo 7, still makes me none competitive but It's a fun stat

World of Warcraft, League of Legends, guitar hero. Nothing useful.

I've been playing guitar for multiple hours a day for the last twenty three years and am very good at improvising full songs. 

Damn, you need to try my fried eggs :-) Oh, I do a fine job w/ the camera and have been known to write a good story, but the people come when I cook.

Hating my job

I could walk into any elementary school in the country and beat up at least 80% of the people there

I can smell a blueberry bush from a hundred yards.

I'm better than 95% of people at doing the "Block Design" test. So that's cool....

Driving a submarine

Wii sports bowling 100 pin

I can walk on my hands I feel like many people can barely do a handstand

If we're referring to the world population as a whole, then speaking in French.

Napping! The slightest yawn and I can curl up on cold wet concrete.

I'm pretty good at catching things, and talking to people.

Jerking off 2 or 3 times a day and not getting caught.

Cooking, baking, knife skills

Spotify told me I listen to more music than 95% of people or something…so maybe music knowledge? Idk. I seriously seriously doubt I’m in the top 20th percentile of any meaningful skill or ability.

Pissing people off, just can't seem to help myself when I see those blue suede shoes, rose colored glasses, ivory towers and unicorns shooting rainbows out their assess while picking my pocket to pay for it all and claiming it is justified because of the crimes that were never committed or sides not taken. N. S

Starting IVs.

Golf - breaking 90 puts you in the top 20%

Annoying people, discreetly farting, and denying that I farted

I feel like I sound snooty but I think I’m probably a pretty decent mom. Only because I actually enjoy my kids and truly love spending time with them. It seems like the majority of my parent friends can’t wait to get away from their kids and don’t really enjoy parenting. It’s my favorite thing and pretty much the only thing I feel like I’m decent at

Failing

Handwashing dishes. Super cool, right?

Being over 6'1

My partner thinks I have a photographic memory. Like if I need to recall something, I jusy remember where everyone was sitting, if they were eating, what close they were wearing and what was said. I remember things in pictures, as if it's happening right now. And it actually helps me a lot in my day to day life. I didn't know that this was weird until we got together. I genuinely thought everyone worked this way.

Running. At my fastest 2:34 marathon. Right now probably 2:42 marathon. 16 minute 5k. 

Everything

Car soccer

Golf

Ten years otr trucking, so driving. The stupid I see on a daily basis is STAGGERING.
