Do You Have ESP?

God we need Rosie back.

But then we'd need @morbiuswilters to apply it. I have mixed feelings about that.

If you want ESP of the first type, you can get a small magnet in your finger to feel magnetic fields. Or you can learn echolocation, or all other sorts of cool stuff.
TIL.
You could also buy one of these

and focus on trying to violate the laws of noise instead.

But you're still hearing things that people usually can't hear so I'd say it counts.

Well, no; all you're doing is training yourself to be aware of all the little sounds that everyone hears, but are normally buried under the noise.
Now, if you were able to teach yourself to hear a bat's ultrasonic squeaks, then that might be classed as ESP.

I think that's an indication of some other "issue"

Got accidentally iron filings into the tips of my fingers once. Does work. Strange feeling, though.@anonymous234 said:
echolocation
Is just fancy hearing; hardly ESP
Are you still collecting someone-didn't-get-the-joke badges? (Hint: re-read anonymous234's definition 1)

Actually going for pendatic wickdeed; echolocation is a learned skill, not a sense.

You have a point there. So I think we have to get pendantic about the exact meaning of "perception" which is more than just signals transmitted from sensory organs to brain.
Nevertheless, I'd rather support your application for the pendantry than the joke-related badge.

I was going to dispute it but then I realized it doesn't matter.

Definition 1: any sense (way to perceive external information) that humans don't generally have.
If you get rid of the parenthesized part, this gets pretty funny.

"Take out the trash."
"Put your socks in the hamper."
etc...What a drag.

The interesting point about sounds of this kind is that they are only perceptible (and then better than average) if directed to someone else. No reliable theories about how this inverse shotgun characteristic / inverse SEP effect works yet.

In the Netherlands we call that 'Oostindisch doof' (East Indies deaf), or 'selectief gehoorgestoord' (selectively hearing impaired).
