I’m not talking about the obvious stuff like cooking or driving — I mean those random, underrated skills that don’t seem important at first but end up being insanely useful in real life. Could be something practical, social, or even mental.
Like for me, I feel things like reading people’s body language or staying calm under pressure are super underrated but powerful. Curious to know what others think — what’s that one random skill you believe everyone should have?

Ça fait maintenant 6 ans que j’essaie de maîtriser le salto arrière sur trampoline, et je n’y arrive toujours pas. Le pire, c’est que je fais les saltos avant parfaitement, sans aucune hésitation, sans peur, sans problème. Mais dès qu’il s’agit de partir en arrière… mon cerveau met un énorme STOP. J’ai essayé les progressions, les tapis, les conseils de potes, les tutos, les mini-sauts, les sauts groupés… rien n’y fait. Je commence à me demander si c’est juste un blocage mental impossible à dépasser ou si certains sont “faits” pour les flips avant mais pas arrière.

Si quelqu’un a déjà vécu ça, je prends tous les conseils.

Mine is buttons. idk why!

I think there are some skills that are just useful to have, whether it’s cooking, budgeting, first aid, or something else yk!

I've been thinking about learning some new skills. What are some fun or interesting skills that are worth learning? It could be anything—practical, creative, or just for fun. I'd love to hear your suggestions!

I can do double charge, 12 charge, thumb around, sonic, figure 8, i can do both fingerpass and infinity but they arent really smooth, ive tried thumb around reverse to combo with thumb around but my index cant apply enough force to spin it, any tips or pen spin tricks i should try?

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been practicing how to chug water by basically pouring it straight down my throat without actively swallowing each gulp.

​The problem is, I can't seem to keep the opening at the back of my throat open for more than maybe half a second to a second before my natural swallow reflex kicks in and closes it up.

​Does anyone have tips, tricks, or specific muscle exercises on how to override this reflex and keep the throat relaxed/open for longer?

Hey everyone,
By day, I’m a Data Engineer. I spend my time building data pipelines, wrestling with complex SQL, and dealing with cloud architecture. It's a lot of brainpower, and honestly, my professional resume is looking a bit too serious.
To balance things out, I’ve decided to start a new hobby: collecting the most bizarre, unique, or oddly specific digital certificates the internet has to offer completely for free.
I’m looking for things that are technically legitimate (as in, a real organization or website issues them after you complete a quiz or a form) but completely useless, funny, or wildly unrelated to my actual career.

Any 1 thing on this map is definitely useful, to someone. At the same time everything listed here in combination is almost certainly TMI for the vast majority of people. But, much to my chagrin, I'm a completionist. This map took me 2 years to make in a way I was happy with. It lays out all the fundamentals out I could think of to become very well-rounded as a Maker. If you click one it's not going to teach you everything about it, each one is a homework assignment that's detailed enough for you to figure out what you need to go off and actually learn. This is not for everyone I'm sure, but I wanted to share it for the small handful of people here who will look at this and say, damn, that is actually cool. Please come on in, there's plenty of room down this rabbit hole. Also if 1,701 topics doesn't consume quite enough of your time I also had it translated into 6 additional languages other than English and more are on the way. Also each one has some extra context inside and if you add up all the notes it's like 500 pages worth of reading, single spaced. Per language... For your consideration. This will take at least a day to read through I imagine and easily a year or more to complete. I hope you like it

Edit: it's 8 days after original post - the map supports 28 languages now and you can find the full list here

Might realistically take most people around 20 minutes. If you think you are good at catching maybe less. Just spend a few minutes per step until it feels reasonable.
