Cebapi please, i might gry a bonner
Cebapi weeb lol!
Cebapi Why is that ?? Because it would temporarily turn off ???
Styx: **I was reading obscure 13th century persian poerty when I was 2 years old.**
My oldest memory was decoding my own nuclear DNA, in utero, so there.
My earliest memory is shitting myself. My latest memory is shitting myself.

I fell off my chair

I wouldn't call you strange Styx, I think eccentric is a much better description. And how dull this world would be without personalities like yours.
Allen Yes...eccentric.
When one is rich or popular eccentric to the term. When one is not rich or unpopular, then your labeled as weird and a pariah
You're the best kind of strange. I immediately felt like you are a great person. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
but a little whiney..
@@bobs5596
Thats humanity for you. No need to single him out.
I enjoy your videos immensely! Your thoughtful intelligence on subjects along with humor gives me hope for the future of civilization. Kudos from a woman subscriber approaching 60.
OpalRavenna. You said exactly what I was thinking.
OpalRavenna same here 58 and have a bit of a crush on Styx.... Intelligent and secure....
OpalRavenna...meant sexy...
Poor Nathan ... did you not know who your mother was....
I’m 23 and male and think Styx it’s hot :)
Styx, welcome to the Basket of Deplorables!
White Witch You may just have no idea who you're fucking with, child. From an actual witch *¥*
Yeah and from a blonde lebanese hillary loving lesbian muslim witch no less. I thought I'd seen it all...
Chain Saw 😘😍💋👄👅
Savage fucking thread...
BTW I've been in IT for 22 years managing networks, and some users cause issues with their computers. They always fail prematurely around them, and they always have the weird issues. One was the Radiology Manager at a medical clinic, that was fun. She told me she can't even wear a watch because the battery will die within a week. So some people _do_ cause odd issues with electronics and electricity. An odd, unexplained phenomenon worth exploring.
@@brandonisebell5918
Maybe you're a super hero now, like Electro.
That was a sexy description of how to make a tuna sandwich.
This was a very pleasant video, thank you.
What is charisma?
Charisma is talking about yourself for 14 minutes and still being enjoyable
Our eccentricities are what makes us unique. We're all the same type creature, so it's our weirdness that makes each individual special. I'm plenty weird & have had numerous decades to acquire my specialness. I think my most prevalent is that I usually see situations in a comical vein.; my brain is that way, always slanted to the funny. I'm an intelligent serious human approaching seniorhood. (crap what happened I was just 25 yesterday).I am enjoying your segments, it's so affirming to see informed critical thinkers.Thank you

"Life is like riding a bike. In order to keep your balance, you have to keep moving forward."
--Albert Einstein
Street lights have been known to flutter when a person with a cucumber deficiency is nearby.
I'm a selectively right-handed person. I use my left for most things requiring "dexterity", but then had to use a mouse, scissors, can openers, etc on the right - mechanical tasks. For example, have difficult finding which side of the mat to bat on in baseball. Also similarly, I couldn't figure out which hand to throw with in baseball, and could catch a ball better with my right hand. Played a lot of soccer and loved to dance to medieval music like the saltrello..
Had the same experience in school with behavior, but with exceptional grades. I read a lot of classics from 4th to 5th grade when peers later only discovered them in high school, same boredom in class- disruptive or tardy often. Everyone thought I was weird, entertaining, eccentric.
It was like going through the eye of a needle when I had to learn latitude and longitude in the 8th grade; I had learned it on my own and won a national contest online in 5th grade, but was doomed to repeat it. I was suspended several times for behavior or dress code violations.
I struggled with learning to ride a bike, but eventually did after continued efforts and many falls. Somehow convinced myself when I was 8 years old that walking my bike on the curb made it appear to others that I was riding my bike- was always comparing myself to people 2-8 years older than myself probably due to having a psychotic older sibling. It may be because I'm left-handed (better balance being the cat I am), because while physical tasks were hard, I had a desire to prove myself accomplished in them, including my penmanship.
Fekk. I also keep a garden and grow herbs while commenting on current events, hahaha xD It's so crazy, dear doppleganger, but isn't that a terrible superstition? I too wear coats inside (my 3rd grade teacher would always ask if my coat was still on - it was!), am sensitive to cold-enjoy scalding water, and my family Vermonter. If I didn't know better, then I'd say you took all my trappings, including my long hair, narrow face, and favorite spectacle shape..
I'm more of a demented child prodigy raised religious turned technologist turned botanist turned artist turned writer turned turned philosopher turned madman turned farmer, in that order.
It's hard to be in traditional schools when you're a genius.
fact number 6 - you have an awesome personality and disposition.
8========>~~~~~~~~~😮
Fact #6: You used to be a bald guy who posted only videos of trip reports and appeared to be 100% apolitical.
At the rate he's receding he's gonna be a bald guy again within the next five years.
Holy shit. The street light phenomenon happens to me constantly. I've actually been experimenting with it & recording it with my ipod for many years now.
Me also
***** --- I've been thinking about posting them, but i haven't yet. Most people still wouldn't believe it. I literally had to take people for walks to prove it to them.
Really? Post it
I can tell you how to ride a bike
The trick is to keep pedaling until you've gained enough speed to where the bike balances itself for the most part. When you slow down, or stop you have to put one foot on the ground, and keep the other on a pedal in an upwards position, when you start riding again kick the foot on the pedal down with all the weight you have so you have enough momentum to get the other foot back on the pedal (If you choose, you can also skate the bike forward with the foot you gave on the ground a few times to achieve more momentum), then repeat
*EDIT* Also when making sharp turns on a Bicycle, you should reduce speed just like a car, and ever so slightly lean into the turn, for beginners it might also be more helpful to glide your foot on the ground in the direction your turning, in case your bike starts to tip over
Also there is definitely use to knowing how to ride a bike, If there's ever a situation where the oil stops coming in (Runs out, War, etc) Bicycles will be the only way to get around in a timely manner.
You’re speaking klingon to me
Thank you for this very entertaining video about yourself!! I’ve been watching all of your videos over the past couple of months (since I first found you on TH-cam). You have enriched my life immeasurably!! I love you and Jesse Lee Peterson!! Also, ferns are my favorite plants.
I'm selectively left-handed too - I know exactly what you mean. I am predominantly left, but there are certain specific tasks that feel unnatural with my left and have to be done with my right.
Tom Rogers me tooooo! I can do most things with both hands but computer mouse, right hand. If I use an iPad tho, I use my left hand. I think tho that was learned...
Wait was this a masturbation joke???
Me too.
I deal cards left handed. Gamblers believe if you do anything out of the ordinary, it is to allow you to cheat. So, I have been called on this.
I have selective dexterity, not quite ambidexterity. When I was younger, I purposely practiced some things (like writing) with both hands because a classmate had broken their dominant arm - which caused them great difficulty with doing their schoolwork - and I saw this approach as a fail-safe, however impractical it may have been. But I am predominantly right-handed and always use my left hand to lock and unlock doors, played hockey left handed, use my left hand to operate/navigate my phone, and tend to pick up objects with my left hand more often than not.
I can relate Styx. I was part of what was called a Rural School program in the 70's in Oz. In 6 months I learned all math from grade 3 to grade 6 level, then I was told I couldn't be taught more for 4 years. Was obvious afterward that government education was a scam. Scraped through it being as annoying as possible, knowing not what else to do.
dude i thought i was crazy with the street lights... but it extends to technology/electronics in general.. i feel like my shit becomes possessed and its almost anytime i am wanting to show someone something or really really need the shit to work
I saw a UFO out in a research park, and after the (rather intimate) sighting, my friend and I took off. Just up the road were street lamps and traffic lights, all blinking on and off and changing the colors. You reminded me of it.
In 2nd grade, I wrote this series of books called "Bear and Dragon," which mostly consisted of the 2 main characters (Beat and Dragon) committing acts of mischief, vandalism, and occasional violence. It was a hit...but not w/ the teachers!
In second grade I lined an 8.5x11 sheet of paper into six sections and used them as comic panes for "The Adventures of Paris-Man and Jarod Alea" which involved two guys who saved princesses and surfed through the skies of Northern Michigan on a lightning bolt and magic carpet respectively :)
Aha that sounds adorable. You should make that into a published series! (Probably with a different set of values though haha)
At my first job, when I was 15, I drew comics based on the supper club where I worked. They were funny to some of us, anyhow. Once, I had Carl Sagan show up and get into a hair-pulling fight with Bonnie, the kitchen manager. She was a pill.
This was cool I'm glad you made this.
Eat, write and draw left handed, shoot and throw right handed. Depending on the tool i switch between the two. Lived in 8 states, been to 27 and 3 countries. Political belief system is rooted in the spirit of 1776 and 1789. If this double posted, my apologies, my ipad rebooted the page for some reason.
Thank you for sharing that. It is so awesome that you have made your issues your power. Your story was like my home, my daughter does many of these things, she like you is extraordinary person who achieves things others never even imagined to do. But she likes rude and to shock people, she thinks its funny, then effervescent giddy shows up. I'm glad you talk about these things there are so many that need to hear its okay to be different and you can be successful being who you are.
Nikola Tesla, Leonardo DeVinci, Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Jimi Hendrix (and myself) are selective right/left handed. That's cool to run into people with this trait. Very rare
I know there are more. Those are the ones I know at the moment
Dom John My husband is selectively left/right handed. And runs power saws equally with both hands.
I'm right handed but use my left to cut food, shoot guns, shoot pool, bows, etc
seriously then i am in good company too as far as selective right left handed plus i also turn streetlights on and off ....
I'm right handed but I shoot bows and guns left handed (might be that I'm left eye dominant)
There aren’t enough people like Styx in this world.
styx would be a Slytherin
but one of the good ones, like snape
He is a Slytherin ,not a death eater though ,of course.
No way, a ravenclaw, slyths are cowards.
NOPE, Ravenclaw.
So glad to hear some more personal things about you Styx. They all sounded normal to me. Except the light flickering thingy.
"Dressed up as Hitler"
You're like Cartman on a diet!
I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was 10. It does take a lot of self confidence and the right state of mind. What really got me going was I was surrounded by my peers who were laughing at the fact that I didn't know how to ride a bike. So I asked my friend if I could see his bike for a second and I just jumped on and took off. That's how I learned how to ride a bike.
13:10 styxhexenhammer666's extra-planar activities confirmed.
One of my favorite Styxhexenhammer videos. I put it in my playlist constantly to listen to it while going to sleep x)
I wish we were friends irl :-)
I was an honor student thruout school too. I'd finish my work real fast and get into trouble out of boredom. Get up to sharpen my pencil like 15×. Got suspended for an essay on current events the whole school had to participate in. Said the essay could be on anything, news, weather, sports, comics, etc. Lucky me that day Jeffery Dahmer made front page. I was told i was the only one in the whole school that wrote about that and got a D- for it. I said, "all the more reason i shoulda gotten an A!!! Front page news and I'm the only one who touched it!" They called in my mom and claimed i got the low grade because i glorified it which is nonsense. I went to an all black school in Detroit and the administration was black too and racist af. Shit like that is why good kids say fuck school and join a street gang or become a drug dealer with aspirations of becomming a real life Scarface.
What hair products do you use?
Me too Styxx. I nearly got expelled for fighting bullies and writing stories about a roller coaster on Mars. I also had laughing fits. My parents were freaked out by my drawings...
I write, play instruments left handed, but I bowl. throw darts, & generally tend to pick things up or carry things right handed. And wow I thought I was the only 1 who had the street light interference problem. My other weird problem is the " postman delivery problem" that being no matter what time of day it is at random I chose to walk out and get the mail the mailman is just driving up. 1:01pm 2:17pm 3:31pm 4:43pm take your pick no matter what random time it was the postman was always just pulling up to start distributing the mail. This problem got to be so annoying I gave up getting the mail during the day I only get it at night when I know there's no possible way the postman can be there.
a true crazy thing about me. When I was in elementary school I was also not mentally stimulated. many of the things you talked about I did myself. I had 3 passions in those days that really predetermined my career/careers so to speak. I was super obsessed with science like you, the entire thing, did the look at my own blood thing as well. I would do math/physics problems and literally I won state wide competitions by 6th grade in those fields, I would just make up problems and determine all the factors and the controls and well all of it, which I think is in my blood in all honesty. the incredible interest in physics led me later to become an engineer which I am today. the second I became super obsessed with astronomy/astrology/space travel in general. I would study all about space and all about the "secret" meanings of the universe. that became not a huge deal in my life, but it did somewhat influence me to attempt to become a helicopter pilot in the army. the last thing is me and a few friends would take graph paper and draw up literal battlefield plans and strategies, and compare, and sometimes re-enact the strategy. This helped greatly later on in life because I did become US intel NCO for Army, and many of the things I did as a kid made me into the person I am today by which I what stimulated me during a time in my life where the menial classwork was just that menial and time consuming for no reason, for me at least. my wife says she had to use that time to study, I asked her why did you attempt to memorize the info instead of learn it, learning is different, learning takes interest and comprehension. honestly, this is why im homeschooling my daughter, she does enough things outside of the home so she wont be socially retarded, but she is super intelligent for her age and I will not treat her as my parents did me nor the teachers or schools. they only try to place everyone at the same exact intelligence, yet this severely degrades most people's intelligence or capability of that IQ to the Majority level which in the US is like 100... someone like me who is 139 its really difficult to keep my mind on focus for something that is completely menial as 100 level IQ. those who don't understand, IQ 139 makes me in the top 3% of the entire world, and 100 although better than many parts of the world is only 20 points higher than the top level IQ for mentally retarded, 80.
understood
If you could film the street lights going on an off and do a compilation that would be very interesting video.
I do know one person who can't wear a watch it is odd.
I had a scottish friend who if you told him the day of the week, he would choose to pretend to have a fake fit and fall to the ground twitching, moaning and dribbling, at a celtic catholic primary school
On point with the tuna sandwich 👍
Good to see you laugh and smile Styx
Youre practically a electro magnetic wizard..
I'm right handed, throw a baseball right-handed, swing a bat (+golf) lefty. Rifle lefty (which sucks if it's bolt action), handgun righty. Used to shoot a bow lefty but now I've switched to righty.
And number 6, he enjoys showtunes.
1) Get a Primal Gear survival bow they switch from left to right in less than a minute and it doubles as a club.
2) DON'T EAT SHRIMP! a lady I worked with almost died like that and we need you around to keep making videos.
3) When transformers start blowing then stay in the house Styx
4) You were in the wrong school, to bad Charles Xavier didn't find you.
5) I guess no one had to worry about you stealing their bike, park it at Styx's, its safe.
Awesome Styx, that answers allot of questions lol
7:49 Mandela effect. He said Berenstein Bears.
1) I wore glasses from ~11 to the age of 27. I don't need them now.
2) The texture of tearing cotton wool makes the nerves in my arms creep the fuck out like an electrical storm.
3) I'm unbelievably slow at English exams for some reason. Still no idea why. Maybe some sort of mild dyslexia.
4) My left side has 2 fractures and a dislocation because that side takes the hits apparently.
5) Illithids (fictional brain slayers / mind flayers) make me salivate with the thought of eating cuttlefish ever since I got a taste for them in France: pan fried with garlic butter and parsley.
Do you have the INTJ personality type?
Supposedly yes.
I new it!
I always tested as INTJ and since you mentioned it street lights often turn off or on when i get near them too
+Styxhexenhammer666 I kinda figured. I'm also an INTJ. We're supposed to be the MASTERMINDS. Although I think you're way smarter than me.
It's ok Styx! I don't know how to drive a fucking car! Major turn off for women! I've had 3 women leave me because of that! Your thoughts? Can you do a video on that?
I figured as much on the personality type, I test evenly between INTJ and INTP but your logic and thinking tend to feel very in line with what I envision as the INTJ typing.
I also had significant issues in school with mental stimulation, though it sounds like less of an issue for me than it was for you. I wish my parents and teachers had understood that I was bored of the menial classwork that I had to do in elementary and middle school and maybe had I been involved in higher level courses I would have been challenged and gotten involved instead of coasting and spending 90% of my class time drawing and imagining what I would do when I got out of school.
It might not help because it's more physical practice than a mental series of steps, but it may help if you try balancing on one leg and then pedaling the bike forward to take off.
It's easier to focus your energy on moving the bike forward and gaining momentum than it is on trying to adjust yourself and the bike horizontally for some sort of ideal balance. Once you have momentum it becomes very easy to adjust slightly when you have issues but when you're taking off at first it can be difficult. If you find yourself trying to learn to ride a bike, I hope this helps.
Styx... Thanks for sharing. I've got the selective left handedness too... Same exact thing with a guitar. I'm also self aware and notice lights dim when I walk in a room. You're in good company.
I cannot believe I am saying this but I made the tuna pickle sandwich. It was amazing. Why do I feel embarrassed lol
How interesting, to see an old video of you talking about odd things. The streetlight thing used to happen to me when I was younger, and then pretty much stopped.
I cant stand onions cooked or not
I remember fake having seizures when we had substitutes and run from class to class yelling "Bees!" while swatting the air. Glad to see other people acted similarly around middle school age.
Why do you use cuckchan and not 8chan?
JustPeachy xd
Styx you sound like me when I was a kid 😂 I always used to get into trouble for making other kids laugh and passing around notes cause I was so fucking BORED always hearing about stuff I'd already read at home
#papastyx
2 weird things about me: one I tend to tune into information on radio or TV when it's pertinent to my life. I had tuned out for a minute on THIS video and tuned back in when you started talking about the electronics thing.
They call me 'Power button' in my home (and that's the second weird thing) it's because I have a weird effect on electronics. My sister-in-law does too. Street lights regularly turn off and on for her.
Have a great day Styx; fun learning more about you.
*I LOVE U*
LMAO!! That was good! Well worth the time, I'm glad you saved the bike fact for the end. Cracked me up!
Styx ride the bike again.
So cool to see you smiling :)
Goth Sheldon cooper...
I loved this vid and will continue to do so.
1. I have no sense of direction other than up and down. Left and right I understand, but sometimes I have to think: "which is my Guitar strumming hand? I can read backwards, upside down, and backwards thru the page in English or Chinese, direction doesn't matter. I travel alot and I get lost alot. 2. I remember things that happened to me when I was 2 years old. Can't remember where I put my keys, but I remember cutting my finger with a potato peeler when I was 2. 3. I was blessed to have known all 4 of my grandparents and at various times I had extended one on one conversations with each. 4. I have a fear of drowning. I learned to SCUBA dive before I learned to swim. 5. I can't hula hoop or skip rope.
I've had lightbulbs blow out on me when I flip switches it's happened a few times lol gets me every time
Leon Wynne That happens to me when I'm angry or upset. I was so pissed at my ex-husband once, I blew all the bulbs in the living room lamps AND our 60" tv!
Leon Wynne relatable
Me too. It all began when my husband purchased a box of Hungarian-manufactured light bulbs. Could it be supernatural?
You make my day First thing I listen to in the morning
I got expelled in literally the last week of fifth grade for putting some of my pubes in a girls hair lol
Regarding left/right handedness: Pick up two pens, one each hand. place the points about an inch apart near the center of a piece of paper. Sign your name with your right hand, at the same time, sign a mirror image with your left hand. It works for me.
Cucumbers have a smell???
I for, one, wasn't aware that un-pickled cucumbers that hadn't yet gone rotten smelled like _anything_.
Lol I'm fairly certain they don't, but...Styx has a different opinion, apparently.
***** oh no, I just got a visualization of getting close enough to a rattlesnake to sniff it just to see if it smells like cucumber! Yikes! My mind jumped away just as quickly as it could. Interesting how your suggestion was immediately "followed" by my brain.
Cole Hunter It's not that they smell - it's that it's possible to have an allergic reaction to them even when not ingested.
I've had an allergy to eating honeydew melon and cantaloupe since childhood, which makes the roof of my mouth itch and my tongue and lips tingle. Even being in the same room while they're being cut up is unbearable - I have to leave. Cucumber belongs to the same plant family as melons (Cucumis), so my reaction to it is the same.
Re: Not being able to learn to ride a bike.
People need the correct amount of stimulation to learn. You can have too much. You can have too little. When I was a kid I was constantly understimulated. Let me choose the topic and I could learn anything. Or the parts that were of interest. Once, I had to learn the catachism, which interested me not at all. But, they told me I would not graduate without learning these Q & A's by heart. I had nine months. But, I made no progress untill my stress rose to the necessary level and then, by magic, I could memorize. But plenty of times in the past I could not learn while massively stressed.
I was worried about learning to ride a bike. But , I accomplished it in a day because of what I saw as a manageable amount of stress. Stix struggled with bike riding because of something he believed about bike riding. It was not vital enough to him...or it was too over-whelming.
When I was young, I had trouble learning to run. I was too uncoordinated. My heels would come up and strike me in the butt. Then I began to play football and the danger of everyone trying to crash into me was enough stimulation. Suddenly I could feel my body and I knew I had to lower my posture, bend my knees, and suddenly I could run. I was never any good at baseball or basketball, because they did not stimulate me enough to learn. Football was something else.
I also developed what I came to call my Superman complex. If I was threatened by one to three people, the adrenaline would flow enough that I was clear headed, but not panicked. Once, when 21, I was attacked by three guys and because I did not panic, I succeeded in putting all on the ground. We were all surprised.
Re:. The electro-magnetic issues
If I am wound up enough, weakened transformers on power poles will blow. I have had an implausible number of these blow in my presence. Lesser levels of stress will have old-style light bulbs blowing in my house. Mechanical things like a car radiator will developed temporary leaks. Weakened florescent fixtures can blow. I have spoken to phychics about this and it's a recognized thing. Stephen King was not inventing this from whole cloth when he wrote CARRIE.
My wife and I wonder what you do for a living. And, what was your major?
Styx is a professional Swing-Dancer by trade, and he majored in Gender Studies.
political science and botony
HAHAHAH your are crazy
Yeah my wife and her BF Tyrone are also interested
You are wonderful,and very self confident!
cucumbers are nasty
The best thing about you concerning your arguments about current events is your selfreflection.
Let your nut flag fly, brother! 👊 I can relate on the light anomalies. Lights in general for me, not just the streetlights. Along with various items falling over in my presence. Things that otherwise should not have fallen over.. Very fascinated by these things and hearing about "weird facts" of others.
Styx - your story about being the "bad kid" in 5th grade with straight A's really resonated with me. I could have swore you were telling my story instead of yours. That just shows that you're a renegade, rebel, anti-establishment, go left when everyone else goes right kinda guy. That's what I like about you (and myself). I am also selectively left handed in certain things, but not bows or guitars. Specifically driving and lifting heavy objects. Even though I am right handed, my left hand/arm seems to be much stronger than my right. I chalk this up to me picking up heavy things with my left arm and manipulating them with my more dextrous (lol dexter) hand instead of the sinister. ;)
I use to date a girl that could, but refused to ride a bike, but that was because she had been hit three times by cars or trucks. i'm honestly still surprised that she's alive
Yo dude u should do another one of these. I discovered it in Covid times 2020 and entertainment is appreciated
I have the same issue with street lights! Welcome to the club!
I am selectively right handed. I am left handed most of the time. I write, eat, cook, drive, and anything that is small movements or doesn't take strength to do. Anything that takes any strength, I am right handed. I play ball, shoot a bow, rake, dig, and use scissors right handed. Scissors mainly cuz there were no left handed scissors till I was older. My chiropractor told me that the collapsing vertebrae in my neck probably caused me to gradually and unconsciously switch to my right hand as my left shoulder became weaker. I have since had 3 vertebrae fused in over 20 or so years. In grade school I was always left handed. I don't even know when I switched. Until I had nerve problems with my neck, I thought I was left handed. I don't know when I started using my right hand. Have your vertebrae checked if it is a strength vs small motor skills thing.
1. I'm ambidextrous, but normally write with my left hand. I do some things right handed, others left handed and I'm about equally strong in both arms. I still find it bewildering that virtually everyone is significantly stronger in one arm, typically the right. I broke my left elbow when I was a kid, so I wrote right handed at that time. People found this brilliant, I merely found it necessary. To this day, I have the same handwriting with either hand. For this reason I suppose, I get confused as to which way is left/right and have to stop and think about it. My short-hand now is that "Left has my watch on it".
2. I've always been smart. I started reading at a young age, and was reading science books and adult fiction at 7 or 8yrs old. I was reading In Cold Blood and The Boston Strangler at 8yrs old. People found this noteworthy. I didn't really care about their bewilderment. I took Mensa's test when in Vegas in the Air Force. I qualified and joined, but they had a $50 anual fee in order to remain "in good standing". I never paid it, but I didn't give a shit since their SIG's (special interest groups) largely didn't interest me, and by that time, the internet and yahoo groups was all the rage and a person could interact with people from all around the world, regarding any topic, for free.
3. I've never been religious, even though I was dragged to different churches all my life and I live in "Jesus country" middle Tennessee. I decided I was an atheist about 10 or 12yrs old. I'm still an outlier in my family in this regard. It's something that others choose to not talk about because it the subject pisses them off or makes them uncomfortable.
4. I didn't learn to ride a bike till I was 9 or 10. I eventually figured out that you turn the wheel slightly in the direction one is slightly leaning and the bike will run under you, uprighting you again.
5. I too was bored in school, which is where I learned the completely useless skill of balancing my chair on it's back two legs while sitting in it. I could balance this way for 20-30 minutes at a time.
6. I have an almost preternatural sense when it comes to knowing when someone's looking at me, and I sometimes "know things for no reason" as I put it and also seem to know where some "lost" things are at when there's no way I could know. A few times, I've known the names of complete strangers for no apparent reason. I've told 3 different girls/women in my lives that they're pregnant when they didn't already know themselves yet. And I've told 3 different women "you're a witch, aren't you" when they were hiding it. 2 on the internet and one in person. The one in person was afraid and really spooked (Jesus country, remember?), but I swore to her that I wouldn't rat her out. All this is rather odd when I think about it because I've always been non-religious and very atheistic and scientific minded. I just typically don't think about whatever conflict these two facets of my life presents.
7. I'm a "night-owl" and function better at night. I can sleep day or night. My body does't care which. I've seen others tortured when they have to work nightshift because they can't sleep during the day. This is alien to me.
8. I saw a ghost on a train in Bangkok a few years ago. I suppose she must have been a ghost because she was there one minute and gone the next. The train was empty otherwise, as it was past the curfew during the last military coup d'etat. I was alone one minute, and an old Asian lady was on the train with me the next, and then I was alone again. This is between stops of course. But the weird thing is, she looked like a solid normal person, not like smoke or a shadow or a partial apparition. I could have been hallucinating, but nothing else at all was out of the ordinary and I felt normal and perfectly lucid. I still can't explain it. To this day, this is the oddest thing that's ever happened to me, and that's in a strong field of weird things.
Wow. When you said you shoot a bow left handed my jaw dropped. You're the only other person I've heard with the same strange quirk as me. I taught archery as a Girl Scout counselor-I'm 99% right handed-but not when I shoot a bow. And I put my mascara on left handed...
Ferns, mushrooms, and steep trails. Yeah, I grew up in NH. Also, the air is like heaven compared to TX where I live now. I walk outside and it's flat, feels like death-by-oven, and smells like mold. Then I look at my bike and the tires are shriveled like shed snakeskin. Not that I ride the dumb thing.
That mad ppl story was Hilarious :D :D
One thing I could tell you styx that happened to me, or that I made happen to me, is that I hypnotised myself into hallucinating a war scene IRL in a meeting once. I had tried succeding at this for months and I finally did it. It was so funny in this meeting setting seing the head of the meeting in a uniform, bombs going off in the distance etc and him talking about business stuff, completely absurd so I burst out laughing like crazy. Ppl must have thought I was insane then :D
You have a very strong powerful aura which affects the electricity which is connected to the earth. You're highly intelligent and grounded which is a blessing.
1. I don't have the allergy issue, but I don't like cucumbers either
2. I've had that same weird thing with street lights happened to me a number of times over my life although it was more the street lamps.... The sidewalk lights. Often enough that I found myself watching lights to see if it would happen without even realizing that I was watching for it subconsciously.
3. Significantly lesser extent of behavioral problems than you describe, but I still had them. Same remarks. Good grades...the work was fucking mind-numbingly easy.. my issues didn't get as bad as you described though because they figured out what they didn't figure out with you and they simply gave me more difficult work to do to keep me busy.
4. Bikes. If your feet are on the pedals the bike falls over if you're not moving. It doesn't even matter if the bike is leaning back and forth rapidly while you pedal, so long as the wheel is straight and your torso is upright and balanced above where the wheels are touching the ground. There's no crazy weird balance trick to learn for simple riding. Your physical emotions aren't exactly the same as if you're standing on a steep hill, you just don't have as many places to put your feet. You turn by leaning, not with the steering handle. The only purpose of the steering handle is to slightly adjust the pitch of the wheel when you're turning so the wheel rolls the right way, with the exception that you turn the bike by the handle when you're going so slow that honestly you're barely moving. YOU are actually what makes the bike turn, otherwise. 99% of your effort riding a bike is pedaling and holding the handlebars straight in front of you.
. My name is also Tarl.
I will tell you how to ride a bike the easy way.
Step 1: find a bike
Step 2: remove the pedals (most likely one side will unscrew in reverse)
Step 3: find a gently sloping hill, not too steep.
Step 4: coast down the hill
Repeat Step 4 as necessary.
You'll be riding in no time. Letting gravity do the work and not worrying about the pedals speeds up the learning time exponentially.
Wow, I never thought I would here of ANYBODY else with street lights going out. I delivered newspapers in early AM for years with this happening to me and tried to chalk it up to coincidence. But again delivered a.m. papers from 2010-2013, same thing! I'm 62 years old now.
Fuck yes!
Expel the kids who need more empowered engagement!
Teachers rock😱-
Typical. You have a whole building full of so-called professional educators and they can't figure out how to engage the brightest children. When they encounter a child of above average intelligence the first thing they want to do is put them on ADHD drugs to dumb them down.
I have the same problem with street lights or our farm yard light! Crazy stuff.
5 Strange or not so strange Facts about me. 1) I can't wink my left eye. 2) I hate fried eggs... not allergic - just disgusted by them. 3) I have numerical dyslexia. Happens all the time.. 6 & 9 are my worst offenders. They often flip.. Which is logical when you look at them It was discovered when i was in middle sKEWL ( who knew it was a thing? ) 4) I can memorize color. 5) as a really little kid.. I thought the sounds that crickets made were the sounds of the stars twinkling.. I really did. My dad would say" The stars sure are singing tonight." He meant that the night sky was clear. It used to confuse me in the Winter time. lol
I enjoy your personality and your videos very much. :) I can make the EXACT sound of water dripping by whistling and tapping my cheek at the same time :)
DUDE.... The light thing?
ME TOO!!! Street and traffic.
Here is a tip for riding a bicycle if you think you'd like to give it a shot: don't use the pedals - get the balance and turns under your belt. Once that is in your basket, use the pedals here and there until being able to use them all the time, relatively speaking.
So are you actually a Texan?! Love your videos and perspective. I've been a loyal fan now for about 6 months. Keep up the good work! -from a Texan :-)
Cucumbers and watermelons some of my favorites. Yes, mostly sweet water with some crunch. Cleansing too.
