Like drop bears. Don't walk under Eucalypt trees if there is a pile of leaves resembling a nest at the base of the tree. And avoid trees where there are bones on the ground.
What makes you special?

I remember people by their shoes, because Iām a sneakerhead.It sort of sounds like you have autism, not in a bad way but you can remember things more clearly than others. A bit like a Sheldon Copper from Big Bang Theory, only not as annoying as him
I can't remember people's names or faces unless I have seen them a hundred times. But I can recognise people from what they wear, the way they move and walk, and by their pet dogs. And the worst part about that is I used to study faces and could identify people from markings on their skin, freckles, moles, etc, and from their eyes, but couldn't look at their faces on the whole and say that is so and so.
Some people find it weird that Iām a sneakerhead, so I guess that also makes me special.
I never really took pain killers after the accident. I just lived with the pain. I tried them as prescribed by the doctors but they didn't work so I just stopped using them. I only took them a few times and it did nothing so it was pointless continuing.
I am allergic to most antibiotics now and that was caused by being put on antibiotics. How ironic is that
I'm also allergic to sulpha and other preservatives they put on food and it's off to hospital if I ingest any of that. Unfortunately they put sulpha on lots of fruits to make they last longer in the shops.
According to the lady at the health food shop (and she's usually better than the doctor when it comes to allergies and intolerances), I have fructose intolerance and some other one that stopping me tolerating vegetables. Again this was caused by the antibiotics.I used to grow my own fruit and veg but haven't had a garden since I ended up living on the street in 2016, and now I have a place there is nowhere to keep a garden. Plus I don't have the energy to do anything any more.
I've been taking vitamin and mineral supplements most of my life. If I don't take them every day, I get mouth ulcers and start going all weird. The doctor says I suffer from malnutrition caused by malabsorption issues.
Yeah I know. And they didn't have modern x-ray equipment back then either. When they x-rayed you, you got a full dose of bad stuff
I was cycling not running when I got hit by the car. I had a trip meter on the bike and used to ride long distances every day.
Actually there are documented cases of Orca killing humans. Most occur in public aquariums when the Orcas kill the trainers. It's one of the reasons public aquariums no longer keep them.If they were both not trying to eat me at the time, I would agree with you! Those Orca were trying to pop me off the couch like a seal! Yep, no documented case of an orca whale harming a human, but my brain was like, "Watch this"
Most people are creatures of habit. They wear the same colour or type of clothes, carry the same bags/ back packs, and move the same way. Most people also do their hair the same way and you can usually identify people just from their hair colour and style.I remember people by their shoes, because Iām a sneakerhead.

Thereās been plenty of cases where Orcas have killed humans.If they were both not trying to eat me at the time, I would agree with you! Those Orca were trying to pop me off the couch like a seal! Yep, no documented case of an orca whale harming a human, but my brain was like, "Watch this"
CAPTIVE orcas have killed humans. I believe there hasn't been a single documented case of a human killed by wild orcas, and they certainly have had plenty of opportunities if they wanted to. With their brain power and living in pods, they would be much more terrifying than sharks. But they don't, they're curious and even friendly towards humans who interact with them in the wild.

Wild Orca will not purposely attack a human being simply due to humans not featuring on their varied dietary needs list. However, they can sometimes get a little boisterous with a human in their wild state if they mistake the human for a seal....doesn't happen often but it can on occasion happen if a human is daft enough to be swimming with a pod of Orca during a feeding frenzy or if the pod has calves within it.
Captives will kill a human, usually due to the Orca receiving cruel treatment by a human or if they are in pain or their mother experienced a problem with a human interaction that is passed down...they attack a human, not only the human that has hurt them, they will go after the first human they come across.
Orca are exceptionally intelligent animals and are often compared to the elephant in regard to harbouring memories...and just as an elephant will turn on its mahout, and Orca will turn on its keeper/trainer if a trigger flicks a bad memory. Bad memories in both the elephant and Orca can stem from when they were first caught in the wild, to poor husbandry or care or training or just cruel punishment.
All animals have certain triggers...like the kill switch in a Betta....a human will never know exactly what the trigger is within any animal or where that trigger originated...for example, dogs. When a newborn puppy is with its mother, it learns very specific skills from that mother, that includes socialisation along with if the mother has experienced pain or difficulty it will pass that learning through to the puppy (just as a human mother passes on dangers to a child - don't touch flames cos they will hurt you). Hence why it is vitally important not to remove puppies from mum too soon.
Orca along with all animals have action, reaction and most is learnt from experience or through living within their community (pod, herd etc).

What makes you special?
I do have the gift of being annoying...And it's a waste to not use it.... So, I'm using it...

I did all that math for nothing
taht made my brain hurt XD
Yeah, I should have clarified "in the wild". Since these ones were living in my carpet, does that make them captive? Must, since they were trying to eat me. That's what I get for posting past my bedtime
Quite possibly. I definitely can be just as socially awkward especially around people who do not know me. I have had practice changing the way I speak and how I do things through my work. So it is not as bad as it was when I was younger.It sort of sounds like you have autism, not in a bad way but you can remember things more clearly than others.

I have a co-worker like that, she can remember something about them but for the life of her can't their name. However, she does remember their pet and it's name and can figure out who the owner is from there.

I have borderline personality disorder and I have a "tramp stamp" birth mark on my lower back that looks like a turd lol. Oh, I also have a lot of tattoos but I don't know if that makes me "special" per se just different looking.

I agree, I meant to say captive. Captive Orcaās are ādepressedā if you will, which makes sense why they would want to go after humans.
But youāre right, a pod of Orcaās is much more dangerous than a few sharks. They are crazy smart.
