Hang on, what?

Two of the other ones I can think of are people can turn their upper eyelids inside out and I can twitch my eyes left and right very rapidly(useful for, as a child, freaking out people you don't like).

I can't find any pictures of it online, but I'm basically moving the skin at the end of my nose to the side and back, exposing my lower lateral cartilage. I can flip my eyelids like you're describing, but I have to use my fingers to do that. I think I can twitch my eyes like that, but trying makes me dizzy, so I've never really tried... I can also roll my tongue up, left, and right; but I can't do the cloverleaf tongue thing...

As a side note, this one is really detailed:

You've never sat in front of a mirror trying to make your pupils dilate on command(I was a weird child... )?

have you tried dark mode?
For which thing... my Chrome theme is set to one of the all-black ones... do you mean a browser extension that converts webpages?
[WIN] [+], [WIN] [-], [CTRL] [ALT] inverts the colors on Windows computers, if that helps.

I'm still trying to dilate my pupils on command... I figure I can flare my nostrils, I can raise my eyebrows individually, I can wiggle my ears, I can adjust my glasses by moving my nose muscles, I can roll my eyes until only the whites show, I'm good at those autostereograms, and I can move my nostrils so that the cartilage in the middle of my nose sticks out of either nostril, so why not dilate my pupils? Then again, I'm weird...


Should I be concerned since this is supposed to be a natural reflex?

Yeah dilating your pupils, I used to do it all the time as a kid which is pretty wired, but improved my reflexes.

have you tried dark mode?
