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.
Omg, can we please see some pictures of your ducks? You must pay the duck tax.
Legs is the crippled duck in the front. Cayenne is the brown duck on the left. Judy is the white duck in the back

I have 10 birds total, but the others are hard to get pics of.
Adorable. Thanks for sharing!
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.
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

Same. We can be good at appreciating the attributes of others while secretly feeling wildly inadequate.
I’m really good at losing motivation for my hobbies 😭
I have an entire room dedicated to abandoned hobbies, so I’m right there with you.
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.
What does it mean to 1CC a game?
Good question.
1CC is short for ‘One Credit Clear’ or One Credit Complete.
To finish an arcade game on one games’ worth of money put in. Original prices were: in USA=1 quarter, in UK=10p, and in Australia=20c.
To get to the end(beat final boss etc) and complete the game. Some games would end after completing and roll credits/congratulations etc, others would start back over again at the start with increased difficulty. When you start again, you ‘clocked’ the game(like a clock going around to 12).
You could sometimes get 1hr or 1.5hrs out of a single credit.
I remember one night in a video shop that a 1CC on the game Heavy Barrel is exactly(to the second) the same length as Metallica’s album, Ride the Lightning at 47min 26seconds. (nb. On a WM-FX421 Auto Reverse Walkman)
Going upstairs and forgetting what i went up for
I just stopped having an upstairs so I don’t have that problem anymore
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.
Procrastinating
It’ll bite me in the ass… eventually
Factorio.
My current record for game completion with no belts, was just over 36 hours.
Never played Fatorio but I’ve gotten hooked on Mindustry. That shit is a time suck.
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.
Drawing is always been a desired hobby of mine just can’t seem to stay consistent. I envy your talent.
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…
That is an amazing talent, Have a friend who is into beading and while I think they have a good eye they don’t think so.
Do you sell your stuff?
Haven’t yet but looking into it. Not sure it would be worth the time commitment.
Being me. I’m the best me.
Fuck yeah there is no one who can be as good at you being you.
