Do you have any weird abilities you never trained or learned? I don’t mean like superpowers, I mean more mundane things like how some people can remember long strings of numbers or how some people have perfect pitch. I bet some of y’all can fart on command.

I can attest that I have a 100% success rate in determining if a person is evil within seconds of meeting them. I don’t know what that’s called but it’s like the thing Bruce Willis does in Unbreakable. I’ve successfully identified people I’ve thought were going to be murderers several times and I was correct. I’ve been able to identify racists, a guy who neglected his kids, and I was the only person in my entire family to get weird feelings about one of my uncles. He ended up getting convicted of fraud because he was stealing life insurance payouts at his insurance job. I just go off vibes and maybe I’m ignoring all the false positives I get but anecdotally I’ve always been correct about my weird feelings, and I often detect evil in people who are otherwise well-liked among others before they do the evil thing. I just feel it even when there’s no noteworthy evidence I dunno.

So can y’all do anything cool?

    Yeah, I guess that is funny! The silly thing is those are just some of the more extreme ones (I also like snails, as far as Good Wacky Food Textures goes, but don’t really have the resources to get to have them often), when it comes to things that are less absurd and easier to obtain on the regular… I do really like honey, as a kid I got called Pooh Bear a lot because I would come up with any excuse to eat way too much honey, I’m a big fan of seafood in general and salmon is a favourite, when it comes to fruit and veggies my favourite of all time is whole strawberries and other berries are almost all a close second, so… I do often catch myself eating like a grizzly bear. I like to think of myself more as a teddy bear, or a Pooh Bear, but I’m not nearly Pooh levels of hunny obsession anymore, though I was definitely on his level when I was like seven or eight years old. I don’t go through honey like water. Those packs of frozen individually wrapped salmon fillets, that you can literally just bake in the oven for 15 minutes, no complicated prep work or precision cooking required, from my local warehouse store, on the other hand… yeah, I go through those kinda quick. So yeah, I guess. I eat weird for NT humans and weird for a bear, too. (Though I think grizzly bears would probably enjoy octopus because it’s fish and they like salmon, and they might like snails because you usually cook those with a lot of butter and grizzly bears like salmon skins because they’re so fatty. A grizzly bear probably wouldn’t want to drink a bucket of vinegar, though… if I was an actual bear, some human could make good money off me doing that as a roadside attraction, lol!)
