Aka functional autism
1) Do physics
2) stay organized
1. Can’t write cursive
2. Can’t touch my toes
1) juggle (drives me crazy - it looks so easy)
2) sit cross legged (doesn't matter at my age but even as a kid I had to keep one bent leg raised halfway up)
Whistle or snap my fingers

1. I can't touch my toes and it is so bad that I don't even think I can start the process of regaining my flexibility. I can barely touch the top of my shins.
2. I can't mix a proper cocktail of any kind. TBH, I might not have even had a cocktail in my post-college life even though I am sure they are good.
Can most adults touch their toes? I highly doubt it.
Run
Walk
- be partisan about politics
-drive a stickshift car
I feel your pain on the second one. I meet people all the time and it feels like I "know" them (sometimes) but they always know me. "Hey! We went to college together" and I am like, "Uh, Yeah!" (but have no clue). Then they make it worse by also remembering my name and saying something like "But I transferred during Winter term..." I am shocked they went to college with me for like three months, 25 years ago but can still remember anyone from that time. I struggle with parents from my kids' current soccer teams!

Eat Avacado Believe in God
Can you eat Guacamole? Does that count? What about avocado toast? What about in a burrito?
And believing in God is not hard as long as you don't mean "guy with a white beard on a throne in the clouds with ultra-magic powers who is watching what we do and dishing out justice and fixing problems if people pray hard enough to him."
Just try to understand that all modern theologians and philosophers since Spinoza have defined God as a much more omnipotent and omnipresent concept. God, to them, was the collected forces and laws of the universe, immutable and unbreakable; AND also the collected set of morals and values as imagined on a platonic level, above the realm of human flaws (sin) and weaknesses, such as kindness, generosity, forgiveness, love, and empathy for the downtrodden and weak.
God is real, but god is not "a guy" who can "do stuff" via magical intervention in our lives. If that were true, believers would have escaped the holocaust and avoided cancer more than non-believers (but they didn't).

No to all the Avo questions. And very interesting take on God you are actually to intelligent for let’s run
1) Can’t manage my time with school-work
2) Not avoid pooping in the bathroom within 10 minutes of the gun going off to start the race
Skate board, surf, etc.
Sing in tune

Thanks. With the exception of my snarky "run > ran > have run" pet peeve, I only try to post thoughtful things. It is an experiment in being an anti-troll.

+1 to "sing in tune" - I just can't.
And I thought of another thing I can't do... I can't sit in the middle of a crowd with people on both sides of me. I hate that. I would always prefer to be at the edge of the crowd. This goes for concerts, movies, meetings, and so on. I'd rather stand at the edge of a crowd than have a nice seat in the middle (of a meeting, for example). And I am not a big guy, so it isn't about space.
Parallel park.

Most people (nearly all?) drivers cannot parallel park. I get spots all the time in non-city settings like beach towns thanks to having not lost all of my parking skills from living in the city for a few years during college 20+ years ago.
I can’t eat less than 6-7 oz. of potato chips at a time or enjoy most movies.
