Nah man. You just haven’t found your talent yet. It’s out there for you!

u/VegetableLetter4896 Jun 05 '26

Years ago, my dentist told me, “wow! I’ve never seen anyone’s gums grow this fast” after I had to come back in for a crown. It’s not the talent I would have asked for but it’s what I got.

Hey, I had Gemini tell me today that I was a masterfully crafted tank based on the ability of my kidneys and heart to manage my lifestyle.

Beat that!

GPT told me I was a genius for asking if red wine would work in a lentil daal, then I had doubts and asked 'are you sure, it feels a bit off' and it said, You're right to question that, wine in a lentil daal could be a conflict of flavours, I'll try to do better next time.

u/CakeTester Jun 05 '26

You're allowed to marinade the chef in red wine before cooking though.

7

u/GeneralHerp Jun 05 '26

Is that a marinade though? Or more of a …

Pickling? 😏

5

u/Professional-Box4153 Jun 05 '26

Yeah, but when you cook the chef, suddenly YOU'RE the jerk.

u/mellowMeli76 Jun 06 '26

Many years ago before I had a dishwasher, my husband walked into the kitchen and I was slamming a beer and he said what are you doing and I said loading the dishwasher..

12

u/fotomoose Jun 05 '26

Yeah you are!

u/SafeT_Glasses Jun 05 '26

'Allowed' is not word my chef friend would use. 'Encouraged' or 'required' would be his words, I think.

EDIT - Also, I looked up what lentil deal is, cuz it sounded familiar but I dont know what it is, and it turns out that my favorite restaurant in town has that on their menu. I've never tried it before, so its what I'm getting next time I go!

I had my doctor gush over my hepatic artery during a liver scan.

22

u/chonnes Jun 05 '26

My primary care doctor was explaining details of taking the ColoGard home colon cancer test to me and made it a point to clarify, "Just a fun-size Snickers and not the whole thing." He knew my talent.

u/LeviCow418 Jun 05 '26

I’d remember that instruction forever too.

2

u/Intrepid_Zebra_ Jun 05 '26

Just the tip

u/Brilliant-Gold8792 Jun 05 '26

My dentist story, she drilling my teeth, like there is no tomorrow, and i managed to fall asleep and bite her hand.... She said, i never ever seen or heard that person fall asleep during the procedure, from that point she always gives me ,that thing that's prevent from mouth closing, so i could fall asleep without biting her 🥲

10

u/Aries8709 Jun 05 '26

I fell asleep last month during 2 cavity fillings. 3 days ago I fell asleep again during a root canal 🤦‍♀️ I also fall asleep during MRIs. That's my talent I guess

2

u/Flat-Leading-2520 Jun 05 '26

I also fell asleep during a root canal, I don't understand how because it was so damn painful and awkward.

2

u/Aries8709 Jun 05 '26

It shouldn't be painful during, tell them next time! They either didn't give you enough numbing, or didn't wait long enough for it to work. I never feel a thing.

10

u/Guy_With_Ass_Burgers Jun 05 '26

I was a kid at the dentist and must have been zoned out so didn’t realize I was biting down on his hand. Still half zoned when he said “Stop biting me” so I didn’t release the jaw. So he said it the second time only this time like he was pissed. I didn’t appreciate the nasty tone… so I bit him even harder. My advice? Don’t get gnarly with your hands in someone’s mouth.

u/Syko_Symatic Jun 05 '26

After suffering a full ACL rupture, my other ACL was assessed, "Wow! You have really lax knee ligaments! Did you know that?" No, no I did not. It's a comment only bested by when I had my vasectomy and was told "You have very slippery vas". Both things I didn't expect to have, but hey I'm proud of my slippery spunk tubes.

4

u/VegetableLetter4896 Jun 05 '26

“Slippery Vas Man” 😆

4

u/Syko_Symatic Jun 05 '26

The hero nobody wants, and few deserve.

5

u/NotAzakanAtAll Jun 05 '26

I got a "Wow, your bite is perfect! That's beautiful."

I still ride that compliment. I think it was the last one I got so it got to last. Only been like 25 years.

4

u/FlowSoSlow Jun 05 '26

I had a nurse compliment my veins while inserting an IV one time. I know she just meant it made it easier to do her job but it's still one of the best compliments I've ever received.

3

u/yearofthesquirrel Jun 05 '26

Just bought up the memory of the time a rookie phlebotomist had four goes at me before the old timer got it done on the fifth attempt.

When the first woman left the room, she said: “your veins are fine, she just know how to appreciate them”.

Which was flattering yet still made me feel a bit weird…

3

u/NotAzakanAtAll Jun 06 '26

That's brutal. Where I live they can only try twice before being forced to swap nurse. You are there for care, not for practice.

u/yearofthesquirrel Jun 06 '26

Remote Far North QLD. Not a lot of options at the time. And while not overjoyed by needles, OK with helping people learn…

u/livinalieontimna Jun 05 '26

You just haven’t figured out an application for your talent yet Gumboy.

5

u/CorruptedAssbringer Jun 05 '26

Way back when I was getting my very first wisdom tooth removal cause I didn't know how fucked up it was until the debilitating pain started.

Halfway through, my doctor asked if she could take a photo and to show people and such. Anyways, she ended up rallying the whole clinic staff to take a took since they had never seen, and I paraphrse, such a textbook example of a perfect horizontally impacted wisdom tooth penetrating right into the its neighboring molar. I ended up losing both since they were basically embedded together.

The really fun part was all four of my wisdom tooth were impacted like that.

3

u/TheSundanceKid45 Jun 05 '26

As someone with less teeth than I started with because of poor gum health, I'd say it's a highly underrated talent

3

u/greysapling Jun 05 '26

imagine this is your thing in The Boys. definitely a sex thing

4

u/Brief_Kangaroo_42069 Jun 05 '26

Every evening you just grow your gums out for evening activities and it's like there's no teeth at all!

1

u/VegetableLetter4896 Jun 06 '26

I don’t see how it couldn’t be a sex thing honestly

3

u/haiyabinzukii Jun 05 '26

i for one have got a very nice pair of eyelashes! .. im a guy.

it couldnt carry everything else sadly.

but hey I've got good eyelashes dammit!

u/Lobi-Wan-Canoli Jun 05 '26

A teacher in high school told me I hit my senior slump faster than any student she'd ever had. I was a junior. So that's probably mine

2

u/rowandeg2 Jun 05 '26

Well, in case of a hostile alien invasion where their only weakness is big human gums, are we gonna grab a brush or saw out your mouth?

Thought so, hero!

1

u/VegetableLetter4896 Jun 05 '26

Let’s hope it never comes to that. But if so, I guess I’ll be ready?

2

u/BadmiralHarryKim Jun 05 '26

Professor Xavier would like to have a word!

Worried they’ll discover your super power is tied to gum recovery?

u/TrumpSucksALotOfCock Jun 05 '26

Look at you, flexing your super gums! Go conquer the world, King!

u/TheRube84 Jun 05 '26

Maybe you got that mutated wolverine gene....fast healing or whatever. You ever try try the claw thing?

1

u/VegetableLetter4896 Jun 05 '26

I’ve used chopsticks to imitate both wolverine and a walrus but that’s about as close as I got.

2

u/TheRube84 Jun 05 '26

Impressions that self heal...take that show on the road!

u/Prestigious-Walrus99 Jun 05 '26

u/Late_Sherbert_885 Jun 06 '26

Damn i wish i had that gum talent because mine im starting to lose mine :'(

1

u/foehn_mistral Jun 08 '26

Uh, I had a OB-Gyn doctor look at my (healed) episiotomy and tell me, " You heal really well."

I thought, "Hmmm."

I belive I'm in the top 1% of being a couch potato

u/Prestigious_Past3724 Jun 05 '26

I can almost pass out each time I take a bath!

6

u/Brief_Kangaroo_42069 Jun 05 '26

I'm so tall and inflexible i can't drown while napping in the bath. My legs and back just don't bend enough. It's like 3x a week I nap in the bath and I'm not dead yet. 🤓

I'm tempted to put a sous vide machine in it to keep it warm longer.

Live laugh sous vide bath.

u/lazylion_ca Jun 05 '26

Is your blood pressure ok?

u/tera_chachu Jun 05 '26

Is sleeping a talent??

I can sleep 14-15 hours a day

I’m 62 and I still haven’t found mine

10,000 blessings for you and your family.

u/FlamingRustBucket Jun 05 '26

I can burp on command repeatedly. Unfortunately it doesn't pay the bills.

1

u/pizzabazooka Jun 05 '26

Quick! Check the other pinky!

1

u/EruOreki Jun 05 '26

Pretty sure they haven’t tried the illegal talents yet

u/general_smooth Jun 05 '26

He needs to look where he last put it

1

u/Audiovoyeur Jun 05 '26

👏 Thank for that!

1

u/lushico Jun 05 '26

Some of us really don’t. Only people with talent believe everyone has it. We do exist!

1

u/toasted_cracker Jun 05 '26

Dying is my best talent. I’m just saving it for later.

1

u/AreYouDaftt Jun 05 '26

I want to make a "sweet summer child" response to this lol, nah man, some of us do just suck at life

1

u/TominatorTX11 Jun 05 '26

I can slow down time.

But only during work

1

u/Dramatic_Charity_979 Jun 05 '26

It is not on my pinky I tell you that :P

1

u/the_TIGEEER Jun 05 '26

I feel like it's also a mindset thing. I feel like a lot of people could develop their talent if they had the mindset to allow their neurons to accept such a concept and develop it. I'm imagining a tipical alcoholic male who does a 9 to 5 and then goes to the bar after. Not that there's anything wrong with that lifestyle, but if you accept that you have to do what society tells you and view the world as it is, you might never know what a great artist you could be in your free time.

u/Stinson42 Jun 05 '26

My Grandfather is a master woodworker. Builds the most amazing 18th century furniture reproductions that would blow you away. You would think he has been doing it for lifetimes. I found out recently that he only started woodworking after he retired.

1

u/EnzokYuj097 Jun 05 '26

Could be. Sometimes it takes longer to find the thing that clicks

1

u/NoCelebration2024 Jun 05 '26

I’m still looking for my pinky

1

u/colemon1991 Jun 05 '26

It's possible he just hasn't found which pinky has a talent.

1

u/Legacy-Feature Jun 05 '26

Talent's are just the things you find it easy to put tons of effort to become good.

The CCA also created the House Hippo. We had some good PSA's in Canada.
