minus-square@Kongar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish19•edit-229 days agoI can twitch my eyeballs left and right really fast, and not just a little bit - but most of the way. Completely grosses people out when I do it. Edit: I can even do circles, but not as fast as left and right.
minus-square@Kongar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish6•29 days agoNeat! Thanks for the name/info. I’m the only person I’ve ever met who can do this. It’s apparently somewhat more common than I thought. I’m an old man, but I still do it specifically to my sister because she cannot stand it. /sibling rivalry lives on
minus-square@Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•29 days agoI think we have the same talent. Does it look like your eyes are vibrating?
minus-square@Kongar@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-229 days agoI don’t know because I can’t see a thing when I do it ;) Edit: I suppose I should make a video of myself - just never have. Sounds like I’ve got plans for the evening :)
minus-square@Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•29 days agoOh…then maybe we have different talents. I can see the whole world having an earthquake when I do it.
minus-square@Gestrid@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish5•29 days agoThere used to be a subreddit for us. It was called /r/eyeshakers. By the way, the scientific name for the eye shake thing, IIRC, is nystagmus.

This is called Voluntary Nystagmus.
