I can talk just like Hoggle in the Labyrinth, and I learned the trick on how to roll the balls around on my hand the way David Bowie does in the movie.

I can make a water droplet sound with my mouth. At first I had to flick my cheek to do it effectively, but nowadays I can do it sneakily without. Great head turner in waiting rooms 😅
I'm strangely good at catching things intuitively (??).
Like, if my kid throws something at me, I can catch it without looking at it. Almost every time, it's fun
I play the drums, but not in a band or anything. It's pretty useless, but I'm glad I got good enough I could just play along with random songs and have fun at home. I didn't stick with any other instrument I've tried to learn, so I'm pretty proud of myself to still be at it after twenty years.
I can detect whether apples are "sandy" (or whatever the actual term is for when they have that fugly apple meat that feels like eating sand) or not.

I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 15 seconds. (I had an obsessive phase as a teenager). I don’t think I’ve ever used that skill in my adult life, but they are fun figet toys for when I’m stressed.
I couldn’t tell you how to solve them because i am more than a decade out of practice. But if i just let my fingers handle it without thinking much i can still complete it now and then.
I can wiggle my little toes independently.
I know the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody.
I can make two sounds that I haven't been able to locate in the IPA chart. They're a voiced and voiceless pair. I can only describe then as the sounds of a goose or duck.
I can bend my fingers between the last phalanx bones
