99% of People Give Up When Trying to Do Any of These 18 Tricks

you're most likely unable to isolate your ring finger every time you move your pinky or the middle finger you'll move the ring finger too that's because the movement of your fingers is regulated by two nerves that come from the forearm one of them is responsible for the thumb index and half of the middle finger and the other covers the little ring and the second half of the middle finger these two nerves are intertwined which makes it difficult to raise your ring finger alone without the middle and little fingers tagging along still with practice you can do it much easier for example if you're a musician it's not true that people can't touch the tip of their nose with their tongue this superpower is called gorland sign and about five to ten percent of people worldwide can perform it those who can do it are usually able to touch their chin with the tongue people with double jointed thumbs can bend them backwards looks super unusual and very few people can do that still it's totally okay it doesn't hurt to bend a thumb this way either and it's not only about double joints some people just bring flexibility to the next level this condition is called hypermobility it allows rare individuals to twist their bodies into weird positions just like a snake putting their head between their feet doing a back bridge and all sorts of splits but in some cases hypermobility can increase sensitivity because such people have a larger medulla this brain area is responsible for processing emotions very few people can actually digest milk the thing is there's some special enzyme let's call it a little helper that breaks down the sugars any milk has when people grow up they run out of this enzyme and only a little over 30 percent of all people retain some of it next time you're talking to a friend try to breathe in through your nose don't make a pause to inhale try to do it in the middle of a sentence while speaking that can be rather tough only about one percent can do that and they're usually musicians some people can hear their eyeballs moving inside their sockets it's a rare condition that about one in five hundred thousand people have and it's not as cool as some might think this is caused by a tiny hole in the bone that covers the inner ear people who have this condition may also have problems with balance and hear their own heartbeat very clearly can you wiggle your ears intentionally congratulations around 22 percent of people on earth are capable of wiggling one ear as for moving both ears at once only 18 percent can do that ear wiggling used to be a common thing for our distant ancestors scientists believe they could perform a variety of movements with their ears we mostly don't need it today but some people claim that everyone can learn to move their ears it only takes time and practice about a third of all people can raise one eyebrow left or right but the ability to raise both eyebrows separate from each other is much more rare if you're not among them that's because you cannot yet control and move the corresponding muscles but this skill can be developed stand in front of a mirror hold one eyebrow with your hand and lift the other up and down and then do the same with the other eyebrow this will help you learn to move them separately imagine falling from the roof of a 10-story building and getting away with a few bruises and scratches but no broken bones whatsoever such a genetic anomaly was discovered back in 1994 it makes a person's bones about eight times denser than normal which basically makes them indestructible there was a case where a man had gotten in a serious car crash and not only survived but had not a single fracture what's even better for him at least is that the feature seems to be hereditary it means he could pass it down to his kids and they'll become unbreakable too stretch out your hand and place the ring on the crook of your elbow then rotate your palm if the ring didn't fall you're a rare person some say only two percent of people can do that but that's arguable our eyes allow us to see millions of colors and shades thanks to three types of cones inside them each type is responsible for seeing a range of shades between the three primary colors red green and blue there are people who have an extra cone type they're called tetrachromats and we can't even start to imagine what the world looks like to them they see millions more shades than others do and can show you the difference between two virtually similar colors interestingly most mammals used to have four types of cones in their eyes in the distant past but lost one in the process of evolution ninety percent of people are right handed and only ten percent are left-handed but there are also a very small percentage of those who can use both hands equally well including writing drawing and doing any tasks naturally ambidextrous people account for only one percent of the entire population which is about 70 million people if you want to check whether you're one of them try to write the same phrase with both hands or draw a circle first with your right and then with your left hand if there's no difference congrats by the way these exercises are very good for balancing the hemispheres of the brain regardless of which hand is your working one most people depend on weather forecasts and have to adjust their outfits depending on the season to avoid catching a cold but not everyone lucky ones have learned to keep their bodies warm in any frost these fearless heroes can walk in the cold wearing only swimming trunks and feeling cozy they can stand in the snow barefoot and even swim in a river or an ice hole usually this talent doesn't come naturally people temper their bodies for years until they get used to withstanding extreme cold stretch out your palms in front of you squeeze together all of your fingers except your thumb now spread the index and middle fingers and the ring finger with the pinky in different directions success if so you'd probably make a wonderful musician because the nerves in your palms are well developed every day people use their tongue to recognize different tastes and communicate with each other but it's also a great tool for a bunch of tricks like i said at the beginning of this video around five to ten percent of people can touch the tip of their nose with their tongues the current title of the world's longest tongue belongs to nick staubel from the usa his tongue measures 3.97 inches according to the guinness world records there's also another contender whose name is in the indian book of records for the tongue measuring a whopping 4.25 inches but the average adult male tongue is only about 3.3 inches long and the average female tongue is 3.1 inches that's why most people can't perform the nose trick that easily tying a cherry twig in a knot is a popular party challenge but only a few people can do it right and quickly al glenetsky set the world guinness record in june of 2014 when he made 14 cherry stem knots in one minute using only his tongue if you want to try to beat his record practice with patience and pick longer stems around 1.5 inches long there's plenty of tutorials on this topic at your service kakri mudra is a term from yoga that means curling the tip of your tongue back in the mouth ideally it should reach above the soft palate and rest at the beginning of the nasal cavity this asana helps refresh the mind and body and overcome thirst hunger and anxiety some say it also helps become a professional lucid dreamer if you acquire a habit to fall asleep with ketri mudra every night but most yoga beginners spend months and even years to reach into the nasal cavity and if you can do it right away you're the lucky one can you sit down on the floor and get back up without the help of your hands or knees this simple challenge is called the sitting rising test although scientists argue whether this test is trustworthy in telling anything about your health you can still use it to check whether your muscles and heart are strong enough if you're unable to get off the floor without the support of your hands or knees maybe it's time to return to the gym [Music]
