I can clap each of my hands individually. What's the sound of one hand clapping? Lemme show you twice at once! Also, it's not elegant, but me flailing about in a controlled manner.
I can wiggle my ears.
I can pop pretty much every joint. Some hurt more than others. The crapshoot ones are my hip joints. Usually hurts then massive relief.
If I yawn the wrong way (usually when turning my head), my hyoid bone shifts and gets stuck. I have to move it back in place by hand, carefully. That was a scary discovery.
I have had permanent tinnitus since about April of 2023. (Kill me)
If I'm congested and I blow my nose, snot can come out of my right eye's tear duct.
I have dysgraphia. I fucking hate writing by hand. It's painful, it shoots up my arm, and my handwriting is always terrible. I regularly make mistakes. I stopped using cursive entirely about 20 years ago, and now only use capital print letters (with a larger first letter for each word). Example: https://ibb.co/YPPDKFq
Oh shit that happens to me too and I've never known what it was, thank you
In other words, snap using 3 or 4 fingers at a time, without relying on the thumb to coil the muscles. That seems doable with a bit of prctc. Let me know if you meant something else.
I just tried the same thing. Felt a pull on one of my joints the wrong way. Not going to try turning my head any further and will be careful not to turn my head while yawning from now. Yes, that was scary.
Due to how I learnt to write when I started using a pen, any long term writing causes my thumb movement muscles to cramp up, making me have to stop writing.
I also seem to have something related to dysgraphia, but it's much milder than as depicted in the image in the Wikipedia article. So, the glyph metrics don't match. I still use cursive though, just because I'm used to it. It's also much milder than your example, though I do tend to have times when characters get switched or entangled.
I can close my 4 fingers fast enough to make a muted, but definitely audible, clap sound.
If I lock my wrist back about 90°, I can flail my fingers about, whereby they synchronously slap my palm, making a clap sound.
I can do these actions with each hand individually.
That's a fun new way to do it.
I was relying on being able to accelerate my fingers fast enough, normally, to make the sound and realised that in that case, leaving out the index finger and only using the other 3 fingers made it easier.
But flailing around the arm makes it possible to clap faster, making a more natural sounding clap. So nice
