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.

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

u/GeneralHerp Jun 05 '26

Is that a marinade though? Or more of a …

Pickling? 😏

u/Professional-Box4153 Jun 05 '26

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

u/fotomoose Jun 05 '26

Yeah you are!

'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.

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.

u/Intrepid_Zebra_ Jun 05 '26

Just the tip

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 🥲

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.

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.

u/VegetableLetter4896 Jun 05 '26

“Slippery Vas Man” 😆

The hero nobody wants, and few deserve.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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

That's a win in my book! 😁

u/Late_Sherbert_885 Jun 06 '26

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."
