Top 10 Weirdest Skills to Master
If you want to take an odd approach to impressing some of your peers, you could try to master one of these weird tricks.
-
Making a mini whirlpool
Basically, you wiggle your ring finger a few inches underwater first to create a small whirlpool. If you want to make a larger one, you will have to propel your palm under the water first. The water needs to be calm first, and it requires constant practice to master.
-
Moonwalking
Well, it's not really like walking on the moon literally. Moonwalking is a kind of dance move that creates the illusion of walking backwards while appearing to walk forwards. The way this works is that you shift one foot slightly forward than the other, and then slide your other heel back, then shift your other heel up and the other down at the same time. Rinse and repeat.
-
Clapping with one hand
When you are too lazy to clap with two hands, so you only clap with one hand. A clever way to mildly impress people. How this works is that you tilt back and relax your hand but keep your fingers loose, flail your hand back and forth and try hard enough to slap your fingers onto your palm.
-
Making your tongue curve in different shapes
You can apparently tilt your tongue 180 degrees and even fold it. Try making a cloverleaf with your tongue.
-
Beatboxing
Beatboxing has similar elements to hip-hop, but it's basically making beats using your mouth and nose, simply imitating the sounds of drum beats. Quite an easy skill to grasp, but hard to master.
-
Talking backwards
This seems like a ridiculously hard skill to learn at first. If you find this intriguing and are willing to start, begin with very simple words such as cat and dog. You can also install reverse audio software to help you pronounce the words backwards. This will take a while, and people will look at you as if you talk like a strange alien.
-
Spinning a drumstick
If you are a drummer and want to look cooler for some reason, learning how to spin a drum stick is a pretty cool skill to grasp. It may seem hard at first, but it becomes easier once you get the practice. Place the drumstick at the middle of your middle and index finger, and push the stick backward while wiggling your fingers forward and backward. There are several techniques for doing this, but choose what's best for you.
-
Walking on all fours
We aren't really developed to walk on all fours. You want to mimic most mammals? Apparently, there is a Guinness World Record dedicated to a man named Kenichi Ito who ran 100m in the span of 15 seconds by just running on all fours.
-
Writing with your toes
Similar to writing with the usual hands, but can you write with your toes? This requires insane coordination and could take a really long time to grasp.
-
Twerking
-
?
Imitating bird vocalizations
-
?
Opening a random page in a book with no page numbers and guessing the page number
A really specific skill, but then if you somehow manage to master this, then you are a wizard of some sorts.
-
Solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded
No, really, there are a few people who have actually mastered this skill in the hobby of speedcubing. It requires insane memorization and it's more than just speedcubing skills.
-
Moving your hair without touching it
Unless you are capable of wiggling your ears, you might be able to touch some of the hair strands, but talking about moving your hair itself without any movement of your other body parts, that is extremely hard.
