I’m terrible at this. [It’s maybe because I watch my shows in black and white due to a cognitive processing disability].

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Common sense. No one wants to hear that shit

My wife has your skill. I hold that skill to be of no value whatsoever.

I know we’re all here for the LOLs, but just a quick reminder: it’s ok to enjoy things without being able to monetize them.

Especially when that skill is "remember a face."

I think recognizing a person by hearing them once would be useful as:

  • spy
  • bouncer
  • detective
  • headhunter
  • diplomat

It's a sign of intelligence to be able to "connect the dots", so arguably this is a transferable skill.

Put OP on monitoring CCTV.

I have the same addiction, but with voice actors.

That's a niche skill I like it!

I can say the alphabet backwards, really fast. I also know all the digits of pi in ascending order

This goes beyond financial viability. For the sake of shared trivia amongst strangers, does anyone know the connection? I'm not very familiar with the former, but I'm fairly versed in Seinfeld.

Me, refusing to look up the straight answer online and trying to find the FRIENDS apartment only using the intro, going on Google Street View and finding it, before GeoguessR became a thing.

Clearly you don't know how I clearly know this clearly isn't true? Well, it's simple, you didn't use the word clearly nearly enough.

Seriously, go to IMDb and look at any big TV series or movie then go to the goofs section and look for all the very smug 'clearly' remarks.
"The stunt man was clearly wearing a wig to make him look like a woman"..."watch the background to see that George Clooney was clearly not driving the car" etc etc.
And every single time the word brings nothing to the point being made. Nothing. It's just out there by the person to show how clever they are for spotting it.
'clearly' is IMDb's version of "well, ackchualllyyyy"

If you give me a pair of knipex snips, I can tell you the generic resin of a polymeric material by cutting it.
