Solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I can usually do it, but I'm slow, and I do still make mistakes pretty frequently.

How is it even possible? I really can't fathom it. You can't see it!
How is it even possible?
I mean, you do have to look at the cube to memorize its state before you put the blindfold on, but in a competition (I am nowhere near that level), memorization time counts towards your total time.
It's still impossible to me there's no way I could do it. I admire anyone that even considers it
Better programming skills. I've been programming for years, i just suck :D Today, i submitted my first proper PR to an FOSS project (https://codeberg.org/lemshare/lemshare/pulls/4) and i just wrote my first matrix bot for a room for instance admins. It converts all links to use lemmyverse.link, as a convenience.
I have no idea if they like it or not, but i'm personally proud of what i did. The code for both is pretty hacky.
Besides that? Learning latin and ukrainian :)
Those are interesting languages! What draws you to them?
For latin, i can't remember actually. I just like how i can read old texts.
For ukrainian, i wanted to learn a slavic language; i was going with russian first, but ukrainian has more in relation with other slavic languages so it'd be easier to learn it, in case i ever wanted to learn another slavic language.
I'm also learning esperanto/hebrew very casually, since for esperanto i love the grammar system, and hebrew is very related to arabic so i understand a lot of it.
Those are really interesting things to do! Have you always been good with languages?
I wouldn't exactly say i'm good at it, but i'm pretty stubborn and keep trying. But i've actually memorized 5 writing systems, so at least i'm good at one thing :)
Holy shit that's amazing well done! You deserve !lemmysilver for that
Drawing. And maybe some calligraphy. I take shifts at the local cafeteria during summers and we have a markerboard thingy outside to display our opening hours, daily special discounts and whatnot. I've seen others write on it with beautiful lettering and then decorating it with cool doodles. I tried it once and let's just say it didn't turn out well...
