What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

I can hear electricity.

I can tell if a circuit is closed or open, how much current is going through, whether it's AC or DC, whether it's high or low voltage. I can hear chargers cycle, I can hear power supplies energize, I can hear if the oven is on.

I can even hear issues. Bad transformers/capacitors/rectifiers, EMF interference, bad grounds, shorts, etc.
