When food is going to go off, or when an object has developed mildew/black mold, I can tell way before anyone else by smell.

Apparently I am the only one who can smell this odor that is on dish sponges. It it harsh as smelling salts and is like burning chemicals of some kind. It is not on fresh sponges and doesn't always develop on used sponges. I thought it might be a chemical reaction between the soap and synthetic sponge materials. I tried searching for it online but haven't found an answer yet.
I can hear the muscles in my eyes when I look from side to side or up and down.
I can sense when it's time to wake up, while asleep.
It's likely just confirmation bias, but I almost always wake up minutes before my alarm if I have a stressful or unusual appointment, like an early flight or interview.
I assume most people has this with their routine wake-up time, that the body learns when to wake up right on time... but this is like: if I usually wake up at 8:30 but now have to wake up 5:45 or 6:15 or whatever, I'll wake up on my own right before the alarm goes off. I just need to think about it somewhat thoroughly (wake-up time and approx. how many hour of sleep until then) before falling asleep.
I wish my body was that precise, my body wakes up an hour before I need to get up in that situation and always in a "shit I am late!" way :(
Your body give you an hour long relaxing shower, or the opportunity for continental breakfast at home before leaving. Generous body!
True! It is less stressful because of that
I can see an actor and know immediately whether they guest starred or were an extra with a line in the TV show Wings.
I notice echoes even in smaller spaces. Like rooms. Carpets don't stop the echoes. These echoes are unique in homes. They always sound "metallic". Like sound bouncing off metal. Hard to explain.
Any room that is mostly empty (regardless of curtains, rugs, carpet) will have that echo sound. But furnishings definitely mute it.
It's not pleasant.
It's distorted in a strange way like when people talk through a fan. That's the closest way I can describe it.
Idk what causes it specifically. I suspect windows.
The glass is likely the culprit.
Also the echoes have a very short latency. But I'd be surprised if others havent noticed them.
I can smell carbon monoxide.
Constant droning Like tinnitus except very low-pitched. Probably caused by intracranial hypertension.
The flickering of my parents old Plasma they can't.
I can hear baselines (from blocks away!) that my family can't hear at all. Or, hear isn't the right word, but I feel it as an ache in my ears and head.
Nah, it gets closer and then farther away, and corresponds to cars blasting heavy bass.
I don't know what it is, but I can smell a somewhat metallic type smell on some specific people's breath. It always smells very similar between different people. They generally aren't very healthy, but no one seems to know what I'm talking about.
I knew someone with that terrible metalic breath, was stomach ulcers causing it!
