Masking.
Yeah I never got any good at that
Heh, yeah.
Riding a bike
I learned to tie my shoelaces!
Not really much else, I fear… I quit playing music almost entirely, which was a pretty big part of my life as a youngster.
Pick it back up. Things come back fast and as an Adult you learn even faster.
I love the enthusiasm but I definitely picked things up faster as a teenager.
I feel like my focus is now better. Aswell as endurance to stay on things that dont reward outright. Also the learning sources available are just huge now.
Glad I learned it, and I still use that method to tie things in general, but I actually never do this any more. At some point in my youth, I realized there were plenty of shoes that you just slip on, and honestly I’ve been glad to avoid the hassle.
I wish I had learned more music as a kid. Kept thinking it wasn’t my thing, and then eventually (while still young) that I was too old. Later I got into it; I’m still not any good, but it’s a lot of fun. What keeps you from playing around with music these days?

To be fair, I do wear loafers and such quite a bit at work, but I do wear sneakers when I work out, and those use laces.
What keeps you from playing around with music these days?
A combination of factors… I don’t really think I have a passion for playing music at all; I don’t think I ever did. I just played music to play, and while it was fun, it was never something I cared too much about. I love music, but I love listening and thinking about music much more than I do actually playing or making it myself.
That being said, I basically stopped entirely when I moved for university. My trumpet stayed behind with my philharmonic band and my guitar and bass gathered dust while I did other things I was enjoying more at the time.
Peeing in the potty
I learned how to fixand build things with my dad and grandpa. Now I’m a mechanical engineer and use those same principals I learned from them 30 years ago.
I learned how to fix and build things with my dad. Now I have a list of projects to do around the house because I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay someone $1000 to install $300 of flooring…

I can roll a coin or a pencil through my fingers. Do this mostly in boring meetings.
Walking as quietly as possible around the house.
Got my first skateboard 41 years ago, am as excited as I’ve ever been that I get to go skating today.
Reading
Whistle with my fingers, took a good few weeks of practice over one summer blowing spit all over my fingers but eventually I learned. Still a really useful skill today.
When I was nine another kid taught me how to make this really cool paper airplane that looks more like a shuttle than an airplane and flies pretty well too. I still make them when I’m bored, and when my kid is old enough I’ll teach him too.
Writing cursive. But after seeing my coworkers I could just say writing, there’s this kid in particular that he barely knows how to hold a pen. And I’m supposed to be the one without an education.
Don’t blame him. Blame the schools.
I can usually tell by someone’s gait and posture whether or not they’re likely to try to hit someone in the next hour or so. If it seems likely I offer them drugs. Usually by the time my coworkers are able to tell it’s too late to offer.
What’s the context? Security job in a club or a mental institution?
Second one
I don’t feel like hitting anyone but can I have some drugs anyways?
They’re not very fun they actually make you stop seeing interesting things and sometimes knock you out :/
I’ll take 37
reciting pi to this many digits from memory any chance I get:
3.1415926535897932384Over the years I’ve added digits to what I knew as a kid. I’m no master memoriser and haven’t made a huge effort, but I’m out to the first 0, which has no business being so late.
So cool! (there are dozens of us!)
I think I knew 25 digits stone point, but I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten a few over the years.
