10 THINGS MOST HUMANS CAN’T DO
Our bodies are made up of so many parts each with its own function. But what we can all do with these different parts varies considerably. For instance, while legs are for walking, some people can use them quite well in sports.
So in this video, we’ll be looking at some of the extraordinary things that very few amongst us can do. If you can do any of the following, kudos, you’re a rare kind.
#10 Tickle Yourself
Pretty sure you’ve tried this at some point but you didn’t get the same results as when someone else does it. And it doesn’t matter that you’re tickling the same spots as the other person.
It simply won’t get you wriggling involuntarily or laughing your head off. There is a reason for this and the brain plays a major role.
Part of the brain called the cerebellum is responsible for monitoring movements and the accompanying sensations. If the movements are on your part, the cerebellum can accurately tell the resultant sensations and will, therefore, cancel them on the remaining parts of the brain.
So in theory, you might be tickling yourself but in reality, that tickle is discarded by the brain so you don’t feel any different.
Since the same cerebellum cannot predict the sensations caused by another person, you get tickled.
But the ability to tickle oneself is not a complete impossibility. A few people can do it successfully only that it’s impairment.
Those with schizophrenia have a hard time distinguishing between self-initiated and external movements. This means their brains interpret self-tickling and tickling by someone else the same way.
#9 Sneeze With Your Eyes Open
Sneezing is among the many reflexes we have as humans. Once the process kicks off, there is nothing you can do to halt it. All you can do is to try and muffle that accompanying sound which is guaranteed to draw a lot of glances if you’re in a very quiet place like a library, for instance.
The whole process usually serves to rid the air pathway of any solid particles. And just like pretty much of our body processes, sneezing is also a brain-controlled activity initiated in a special region called the sneeze center.
This sneeze center sends coordinated motor impulses to every part that is involved in the process like the neck, abdomen, diaphragm, chest, and the face. For the face, two important parts are involved, that is the eyes and nose.
These parts are connected by cranial nerves and when the impulse to sneeze is set off, the eyes shut automatically – at least for most people. But it’s not entirely impossible to keep your eyes open during the entire process as it is usually alleged.
There has been a long-standing myth that opening your eyes when you sneeze will pop out your eyeballs. But as Adam Savage of The Mythbuster demonstrated in 2007, this is pure hokum.
#8 Put Your Fist In Your Mouth
God knows why someone would want to do this but hey, to each their own. But there are a few people with the ability to fit their fists in their mouths.
In all of these cases, at least these two conditions have to be met. First, the fist must be incredibly small and secondly, the mouth must be larger than average.
You’ll certainly find more babies than adults trying this trick – rightly so – during teething. It’s only natural for toddlers to try eating everything including themselves.
But it’s a fairly risky thing to do. Assuming you do successfully insert your fist in your mouth, there is a high possibility of it being stuck there. That’s pretty embarrassing in every way you look at it like how would you explain it to the guys in the ER or anyone?
That said, it is possible for most people to at least fit a portion of their fist – up to a half – into their mouth.
#7 Bend Your Thumb Backwards
Well, thumbs can bend which is only natural considering that they have joints. But we all know a thumb operates within a specific locus and the back of the hand isn’t part of it.
Simply put, bending your thumb backward is not possible for most people under normal circumstances. But for those with a rare condition called the Hitchhiker’s thumb, they can bend their thumbs to the opposite side of their palms with unmatched ease.
Formally known as distal hyperextensibility, Hitchhiker’s thumb occurs in about 32 percent of the population according to a 2012 study. And no, it doesn’t affect the thumb’s functionality nor does it cause any pain. It’s also possible for the condition to occur in both thumbs.
Scientists hypothesize that Hitchhiker’s thumb might have a genetic link. The person with the condition might inherit it from the parents if he or she acquires the recessive genes from them.
