    Here’s another: the human ear is phenomenal at determining where in 3d space a sound is coming from. Most animals can only determine direction and can’t really place a sound vertically. Watch what your cat or dog does when they’re looking for the source of a noise, it takes them a lot longer.

      I’ve heard that this is the reason dogs will tilt their head when looking curiously at something, as this lets them better differentiate sound positions vertically.

        I thought it was because their snout blocks their vision when they try to look downwards at something?

    Your tongue is also super tactile. We spend most of our toddler years discovering this.

    You can look at anything around you, anything, and your brain knows exactly what it would be like to lick it, even if you’ve never done it before. Taste, texture, residue etc… it’s quite freaky

    Oh and my thighs are really good at imagining my phone just buzzed.

      Yeah, if you tilt your head back and pretend you’re shaking a salt shaker into your mouth, you will actually taste salt.
