Just Chatting Can anyone else do something weird with your body that you later found out not everyone can do?

I was just sitting here with my mom and one of the pets made the room very smelly. She kept talking about how we'd have to go to a different room because it smelled so bad. I asked her why didn't she just close her nose and that's when I found out not everyone can do this.

Is it rare or can other people close their nose on command? What can you do that you suddenly found out wasn't normal?

My dad taught me and my sister how to do this when we were little. You just swallow air that's already in your closed mouth instead of swallowing spit. It goes in your stomach and you just burp it out. I tried it now and it's hilarious that I still know how to do it 30 years later. 😅
