- Ew! I cannot do that. - What was that? I don't like that.
- There's no way I'm special in any way.
I am-- (chuckles)
I'm not a beautiful and unique snowflake at all.
- Would you consider yourself basic? - (laughs) Yeah, to be honest.
- In some regards, yeah. Basic white [censored], baby.
- Well, we're gonna be presenting you with seven features that apparently
only 5% of people have. But we aren't sure
how accurate that is. This has kind of been a trend
that a lot of channels are covering online right now,
so we wanted to bring some of them to our reactors
as a sample size and see what percentage,
if any of you, actually have these features.
And we also want our viewers at home to leave a comment
of what they do and don't have, so we can get to the bottom of this.
- Okay, cool. Hopefully, I'm that 5%, so I'm not basic. (chuckles)
- First, what we're gonna do is I want you to clasp
your hands together and interlock your fingers.
Now, look at your thumbs and tell me which one is on top.
- Left. - With your thumbs,
how are they... how are they?
- They're crossed. - Okay. Which one's on top?
- The right. - My left one is over my right one,
kind of like that. - If you're not basic,
you do it like this? - So, apparently, 50% of people
put their right thumb over their left thumb,
49% of people put their left thumb above their right thumb,
but only 1% of people put their thumbs side by side.
- Oh, that's interesting. I'm in the middle.
I'm the 49%. - What?! Wait.
Okay, so I'm 49%. Hey, I'm not basic!
- Not fully basic. - Awww.
- The 1% looks a little psychotic. I don't know who clasps their hands
and sits it like that.
That's not how you're supposed to do it.
If all your fingers are crossed, so should your thumbs be.
- This isn't a challenge of are you basic or not.
This is are you a [censored] psychopath or not,
because who the [censored] does this [censored] right here?
Shut the [censored] up. What?!
- Nope! - Ew! I cannot do that!
Whoa. How do they bend their fingers back that far?
They must be really double jointed. - What was that? I don't like that.
- So, this is just an example of something called hypermobility,
which just basically means that your joints can easily move
beyond their normal range. - Ugh. Ah, that's creepy.
I'm sure she's a good girl, but ah, that's weird to me.
- That's as far as I'm going. That isn't too bad.
I can touch my thumb here, I think. Or I used to be able to flex--
well, do that. Present, non-present.
Ooh, I saw this the other day! I'm non-present on my right,
but I think-- oh, if I do-- if I curl, it's there on my left.
But my right-- oh, no. I think it's there.
- Ooh. Wait, I've seen something like this.
It was on a video called, like, "Are You Evolved?" or something.
It's one of those things, where if you have a muscle
that pops up when you touch your thumb to your pinky,
does that appear, because that's something
that our ancestors had or something like that.
- The palmaris longus is the muscle that's visible when touching
the pads of the forefinger and thumb. And apparently, we needed this muscle
way back when we needed to grasp spears,
but now it could become a mutation loss,
since it's absent in roughly about 1 in 100,000 people.
- Oh, interesting. Mine is kind of recessed,
but it's there. It's not as present
as the one on the screen, but yeah, it's like in between.
- I for sure have that. Hold on. It's there. Right there.
It's no doubt right there. This one, though...
No, no, it's there kind of. - I'm doing it,
and I don't have it on my left arm,
but I have it on my right. This is my right arm,
and I think you can see it, right? Can you see it?
And then, I have my left, and, I mean, I don't really see it.
- Yeah, I have it. (chuckles) - So, you are pretty basic again
with this one. - Yeah. Well, I mean,
it looks kind of cool, though.
- Is he like folding his tongue weirdly or something?
Oh! What the heck?! - Oh, is he gonna gleek?
(chuckles) I can do that. I do that all the time.
- I've done that on accident. - No, I can't do that.
I know some people that can. - That's one of those things
that I really want, 'cause think about it,
some guy's attacking you? Self-defense, spit in his face.
Kind of like-- it's like how Spider-Man
shoots his web, but it's your spit
from your mouth, and then the guy will just run away,
'cause that's gross. - You may be familiar with gleeking
or spitting saliva from the submandibular gland
under your tongue. It can occur spontaneously
when you're talking, eating, or yawning.
And apparently, only 35% of people possess this ability to gleek,
but less than 1% of people can do it on command
like you saw in that video. - Ahhhh, okay. That makes sense.
- (FBE) Yeah. - I don't even think I can
move my tongue like that. - Oh my g-- I'm part of the 1%!
That's crazy! - So, while yawning,
I've had it happen. But I can't do it on command,
so I'm kind of special. - (chuckles) I don't know.
I was just kind of like, eyes closed, yawning,
and then I think shot the person next to me. (chuckles)
He was like, "Did you just spit on me?"
I'm like, "Did I?" I'm like, "What happened?"
- What is that? I don't think I have anything there.
What is that? - Oh, the weird hole thing.
I don't have that. I think one of my brothers do.
- I know there's that thing that's really rare,
where you have muscles that can move your ears,
but I've never seen that one. - I've seen that before.
A couple years ago, I met some girl,
and she had her hair behind her ears like this,
and I was like, "I'm sorry to point it out,
but you have a hole in your ear." And she's like, "Oh yeah, I know."
(chuckles) I'm like, "What is that?"
- So, this is called a preauricular pit,
which is basically a hole in one of your ears.
And according to the American Academy of Family Physicians, this happens
in about 1% of people. - What is it? It's just a hole.
I thought it was a bad pierce job for people.
- Wow. So, it's just a deformity? - Yeah, just like super small.
- Wow. That's interesting.
I wonder if you can put an earring in there.
- Yeah, no. I have no holes in my ear. I've heard of the detached earlobes,
but I haven't heard of the hole in your ear. That's cool.

- "Which one of these color circles is slightly different?"
The middle?
What?!
- Okay, I'm gonna guess middle.
Yeah, boy! - I wanna say the left one.
Ah, there it is! - The one on the right.
- They look the same.
It's like when it first appears, I feel like I have a millisecond
to find that difference, and then it goes away,
and it's the same. - So, tetrachromacy is the condition
of possessing four independent channels
for conveying color information, which basically means
those who have it apparently see up to 100 times more colors
than the normal human eye can see. So, if you guessed those colors
correctly in that video, there's a chance
that you might have it.
- Okay. I think I got one wrong, but, eh.
I mean, hey, at least I can see colors.
- That's a talent, because sometimes when colors
are right next to each other,
they just merge and look the same.
- There's no way I'm special in any way.
I'm not a beautiful and unique snowflake at all.
- What? I was counting the fingers. Maybe I'm missing one.
It's very smooth in that one. That one doesn't have many lines.
- Ohhh. Whoa! Ew! Where's the rest of his lines?
Why is it just this line going straight across?
- I have really wrinkly hands, but they don't shoot
all the way across. Mine diverge.
- It looks like he cut his hand, and then it just healed up
or it got stitched together. That's interesting.
All of my lines are not that dark and are usually curved.
That's just straight. That's interesting.
- This is called a singular palmar crease,
where people basically just have one main crease in their hand
as opposed to the typical three. So, apparently this happens
in about 1 in every 30 people. - That many?!
I've never seen that before. - I have 20.
My hands are kind of cut up and just a little--
there's lines all over it. - I've never seen someone's hand
have one line. I would like to see someone
one day like that. "Wait a minute."
Like, "Hey, have you ever noticed you only have one line on your hand?
That's kind of weird." (chuckles)
- As we mentioned earlier, a lot of YouTubers
and other people online are talking about this right now.
So, why do you think that this is something
that a lot of people would be so fascinated with and wanna watch?
- I think it's boredom. I think people are just at home,
and they're like, "I don't know. Do I have holes in my ears?"
And they're just comparing to each other.
- It's a cool thought to think, like, "Oh, maybe I'm like the 1%."
Everyone wants to be the 1% in something cool like that.
Like, "Oh, I can actually see more than you."
And everyone likes the thought, like, "Oh, what is that like?
I wanna be able to see more." - I think it's fascinating,
because another aspect to it is, like, "Oh, it's super rare.
Do you have it? Do you not?"
It's like something you could flex, you know?
Like, "Oh, I'm missing a muscle." - Anything that is out of the norm
that somebody has that not many people do have
is just really interesting. I didn't even know
more than half those things were even a thing.
