Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I can make my ears rumble on command.

Same here, and I also learned it trying to learn how to wiggle my ears.

Rumble? Tell me more!

I figured it out while trying to teach myself to wiggle my ears.

They apparently want people for studies?

I can push air out my ears, I would call it more of a crackle so maybe op is talking about something different. Never thought of is as something to be proud of though ...

It’s something I can do that apparently not a lot of people can. Can’t be proud of being unique or different?

Kinda like Aphantasia, you literally have no idea it's not the norm until someone explains it like you're a fucking alien.

Pitty I'm nowhere near the UK though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yes I can do that too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Huh. TIL I can do this also
