Interesting. Funny how different people have different nerve control.

I can do the rumbling ears independent of any other movement. Although it requires a little focus and I probably stop blinking and breathing as I do it. Experimenting now, I can blink, breathe, and ear rumble all at the same time, but it’s awkward.

I can wiggle one ear only, and it’s completely different muscles from the ear rumbling. YMMV

Yeah, I should say for me it's different muscles from the ears wiggling, but they tend to engage at the same time. I can wiggle my ears without the sound, but I have to concentrate really, really hard to make the noise without moving my ears.

Also, I've never tried to wiggle just one ear--I can do the right one independently, but not the left. Something to practice!

That’s the superpower I want.

well the doc did say that the over-flexibility of my feet was what led to the injury that led to the surgery though....

Can any of you twiddle your thumbs in opposite direction?

Meaning, the thumbs cross twice per rotation. Try.

fargon · 03-08-2020, 05:49 PM

I can slowly, and i have to think about it.

glatt · 03-08-2020, 06:15 PM

I can’t. They would crash into each other twice per rotation.

Not your thumbs, the gold leaf bowl that came up.

At least it's not Taylor Swift coming up next.
