I'm really good at raising, training, and handling ducks. I'm the duck expert of my family and friend groups. I'm also damn good at treating injured or sick ducks myself, but that's a necessity because there aren't any vets remotely close to me that treat waterfowl. Performed very minor surgery on one of mine a couple months ago and he is totally fine now. I also treated a crippled duckling who was really close to needing put down and managed to get her legs working well enough for her to have a good life. She walks on her knees, but she gets around just as well as the other birds now. It's her first birthday in a couple weeks.

I am really good at building computers. Like speccing out the parts, making sure they’re compatible, making sure they look good together, doing nice cable management, setting up the UEFI settings, etc. I spend a lot of time staying up to date on all the new hardware and checking prices.
Other than laptops, I’ve built every computer I’ve owned since I was about 14. It’s so fun that I’ll spec out PCs on Newegg with no intention of buying them, just for fun. My wife thinks I have too many computers, which I can’t really argue with, but I just know I’m one good sale away from building another.
It actually came in handy recently, when my sister wanted to buy her husband a gaming PC for Christmas. I gave her a bunch of spare parts I had, and we ordered the rest and built him a beautiful PC within her budget.
I built my company’s servers too, instead of paying the ungodly high prices for equivalent Dell or HP servers.
Enterprise servers are expensive because you have support. DIY servers are on you if something goes haywire
Yeah, I understand the benefits of going with enterprise solutions, but for a very small company like mine, it makes a lot more sense for me to build them myself. I know how to do it, and I’m very comfortable digging into the hardware to fix any issues I might encounter. But yeah, for a company with a lot more resources, I totally understand going with a more expensive option that they know will work within whatever SLA they have.
I understand IKEA instructions.
What would be really impressive is figuring out literally any other flatpack furniture manufacturers instructions
IKEA furniture is mostly shite, but whoever designs their instructions is an uncelebrated genius
I guess gaming with my thousands of hours spent on it. I'm very efficient at leveling characters on world of warcraft lol
I rarely get to talk about this. I can 1CC about 20 arcade games(from 1983-1993).
But I did excel at Slapfight and have clocked it 7 times over on a single credit.
Going upstairs and forgetting what i went up for
I just stopped having an upstairs so I don't have that problem anymore
Procrastinating
It'll bite me in the ass... eventually
My job. But I hate it
I heard a saying once that everyone is really good at 2 things. One they hate to do and one they love to do.
Factorio.
My current record for game completion with no belts, was just over 36 hours.

Following YouTube tutorials.
Self confidence in taking on projects.
Estimating how long it'll take to get somewhere & what time it currently is.
Your last one is one that I'm really good at too and getting someplace on time which actually annoys a lot of people.
Coming up with projects and completing 80% of them really fast.
Giving head, first partner I tried it with legit said I was a natural, and I haven't heard any complaints since, so I'm taking that as further endorsement!
If a guy is smart, he'll present dissatisfaction as a fun new method you can try, not a complaint
Oh I've mostly given to the women folks
I like it when they start grabbing my hair to pull me in harder, it makes me feel like I'm making them happy :3
Making my own designs for fuse bead projects. People often ask "where'd you get the design for this?" I just put beads on the board and adjust it until it looks right...

Drawing. I really like drawing people and coming up with my own stories. Some big, some little, I just like being able to put what I see in my head on paper so other people can see it.

I'm very humble
Voted Most Humble Person in the World, four years runnin’.
Are you the humblest person you know?
For sure
I'm really good at spending years getting better at something and then giving up as years of hard work seems to have close to zero effect and i'm still as bad at it compared to when i started.
I am a flow artist and I use the most complex dance prop, the puppyhammer!
