My best friend has Heterochromia - and he has the rarest kind - one blue and one brown eye. He also can remember every single thing that has happened in his life, right down to the conversation and date and time.
I, on the other hand, can listen to a song in a foreign language, that I don’t know or speak and can be singing it perfectly by the end of the week.

This was one of the best videos I've seen from this channel! Useful, fascinating, educational, eye-opening, as well as, new & somewhat surprising! I was surprised at how much of this I've never heard, & didn't know before! This was, in my opinion, a stellar video! Thank you, Bright Side! ❤

A word of CAUTION ... (19:47-20:01) to those who can bend their joints backwards (thumbs) or overextend their joints...it may not cause you to feel pain at all while you're young or even middle age, it IS doing damage. If you can do these things you very possibly have a Connective-Tissue Issue. You may have one the the 13 forms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Other than showing your doctor, try to refrain from doing it much. I used to 'put on shows' for the neighbors' kids w/all the cool things I could do. Now I'm mostly bed-ridden (and have been for several years) and I haven't reached 70 yet. Take care of them joints!!

I'm calling BS on the scissors. I'm a righty but broke my right wrist a couple of years ago, so had to use my left. The issue with scissors is not dexterity. I didn't realize (though my left-handed friends have been trying to tell me for years) that scissors really are made for right-handed people. It's not just the finger holes. The motion of the thumb and fingers naturally pulls the blades together so the blades rub against each other. A lefty, with the same motion, will cause the blades to separate, and not cut (as well).

Sleeping, You only NEED 4 hours of stage 4 (dream state) R.E.M (rapid eye movement) This was determined through a sleep study that forced people to sleep only 4 hours a day, they were required to sleep 15 minutes stay awake for 2 hours sleep 15 minutes etc. upon waking they were required to take a short test, one of the subjects stated "I didnt even think I knew the answer but I was very confident of the answer, my art has also excelled, I'm drawing stuff that even amazes myself"

I AM one of the people who thinks cilantro tastes awful. My friends all loved it so much in a Mexican dish that I could not understand why I thought it tasted so bad. A soap taste!? Yes! Now, I understand.

I am right-handed but I always always chew food on my left

[KnappKnits]

Hey! Just discovered I can move one of my ears. Have always been able to flare my nostrils - didn't realize not everyone can do this

[therealhellkitty]

I have (blue/teal/green) heterochromia and that fourth cone in my eyes, write right handed and sign ASL left handed and chew on both sides. I can also bend my fingers *and* thumb backwards, and touch my wrist with my thumb due to hEDS. The body is indeed a strange and wonderful thing.

[melcastles]

I really enjoy these types of informative videos and you guys do it the best!

[Leopez]

Human body is really interesting, defienitily hands and legs what we use everyday and everysecond in our lifetime, sometimes i've forgot how much I use my hands. 😮

[donlimoncelli]

(At 8:30) it is pronounced sin-ess-THEE-zee-a, not sin-ESS-thee-a.

[raynarks]

Also each of a person’s eyes sees differently. I have an ocular divergence. One eye sees turquoise differently, sometimes turquoise and blue, sometimes turquoise & green. My optometrist said it’s because of the different number of green and blue cones cels in each eye.

[erikas]

I was forced to learn with right hand but the computer mouse just does not want to work with the righthand. Also I can write (my sister too) with both hand each way means 3 different way. I never thought that was unusual. I feel now special😊 thank you for all this interesting information. Where is the info about the hand of the begining of the video and what does it mean?

[rawaneng]

Right handed but eats on my left side of my mouth 😮 all the time

[sgringo]

I didn't know about that sneezing trick decades ago, when I broke three ribs. Yet, somehow, I still managed to avoid sneezing for around eight weeks through sheer power of will. 💪

[Felicity]

My dad could move both ears and one at a time. Kept me amused as a child.

[randallulrich]

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

[Maliceah]

I have the cilantro soap gene, I always wondered why it smelled and tasted like cleaning fluid to me. I'm also ambidextrous, but only because I was forced to be right handed. One thing you didn't mention is extra bones. I have three extra in one foot, and two in the other. They aren't connected to anything, they just cause pain once in awhile. I've also regularly slept 5-6 hours my whole life and drove my parents crazy. The long palmar ligament also explains my affinity for climbing trees as a kid. My son has synesthesia, he sees colors when he hears music. He also has perfect pitch and is an accomplished musician.

[lottieew]

I think I might be a bit weird 🤔 I'm right-handed, but I naturally chew on the left side 🤷‍♀️

Wish my body could regenerate myelin 😢 I've got MS, and it really annoys me 😒
