I grasped basics of video editing at age five, and could read coherently by the time I was four years old. Whenever I tell people about that stuff, they think I am bullshitting/trying to sound smart/really desperate to be cool in an out of touch way. So, I'd like to hear if there's anything remarkable that goons around here have experienced or live with.

Please don't use this for "nifty" little facts like "My dick is big" or "I have double jointed thumbs" or "I spent $10 on a forum account"

What does this mean exactly? Did you have access to an editing machine or was this a concept you could explain to others or...?

I'm a youngin' so it was already all digital. I opened a program and was able to do basic cutting of clips together and edit their duration. Learned more and more and here I am now I guess

I get some disbelief when I tell people my age. I'm 29, but most people think I'm in high school, or just out of it.

I was once working at a record store and had some guy come up to me and say "You're allowed to work here?! How old are you?!"

He thought I was 15 when I was 26.

Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
I can remember a lot of things from my past. A few of my memories go as far back as me being three years old. If I was locked away I could happily life in the past, replaying things in my head. I do this far too often now anyway. I can't understand how some people barely know what happened a month ago. But then again they are better at filtering out the white noise.

When I understood what it means to read I learned reading in three weeks. I read a lot in my youth until computers came along.

Despite the above I am neither clever nor too well functioning.

im really good at math because my brain associates numbers w/ sounds and shapes

an example: the number one "looks" sort of like a straw or a pole and "sounds" sort of like the word 'won.'

This is for real, and you should dedicate your life to numbers if you want to discover a new prime number or solve a crazy unknown equation or whatever. You may have a bright future in physics if you're not lazy.

I totally understand if you don't, because gently caress that boring life lol. Numbers aren't 'fun' and neither is math.

I see numbers in a similar way. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but what do the numbers, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 mean to you? I know it's not a simple answer to put into words, and you may have to write a lot, but drat. I'm curious to know, because those numbers mean some serious poo poo to me.

I have memories from when I was less than a year old. My dad didn't believe me, telling me that it wasn't possible, so I described one to him and he admitted that it had happened.

Edit: This isn't some sort of "joking" "my daddy touched me" post, he was fixing a lawn mower and my mother was pregnant with my brother

Yeah, you made those memories up. Memory is fluid and you just pieced poo poo together from stuff you know and your dad verified it like an idiot, further cementing the fake memories. None of your memories are 100 percent accurate and most are very wrong and embellished.

You should dedicate your life to math or something.


I know because I'm as old as time and no one believes me for some reason.

I think that the ultimate twist would be that my sister was adopted when I was 4 and my mother miscarried, or something hackish like that

I'm a lot like Calibanibal too, I can visualize the number 8 like two circles on top of each other, and it sounds like "ate".

People don't believe me when I say I've had malaria. People also call bullshit on me when I say once when I was working door to door, I got everybody to give me a "Woah Bundy!" during the morning pep rally. I dunno why people would call BS on either of those?

Everybody believes me when I say I was in the top 10% of Canada/7% for Ontario for grade 10 math though. Which is bewildering, because I can barely add 6+37 these days.

I found out that apparently a lot of my classmates back in high school did not believe I had Polynesian ancestry. It came as a shock to me because it never occurred to me this is something people would lie about.

Some people claim they can tell (but only after they learn somehow) but I think I just look white. On the other hand my half-siblings definitely don't, so I just hit the genetic lottery there.
