Here are some things you can't do unless you're weird and all that:
1. No one can touch their elbows behind their backs
2. No male can lick their nipples even with help
3. No one can make their ring finger "not move" when you move your pinky finger up and down
4. No one can "just" move their top bone of the three bones in your pointer finger
5. Most people can't cross their toes in both ways
6. 99% of the population can't pull back the tablecloth completely off the table when stuff is on it
7. No one can push their thumb to their middle finger completely when it's on the bottom of the 3 bones in your fingers after closing your palm of your hand with your other 4 fingers


i have seen people do all of these things except the elbow one and i dont understand 7

i have always been able to do #5 without a problem, i thought everyone could
