Advanced speech recognition. I can filter out speech of one person while ignoring other background noise and even other speech.
Advanced face recognition. I can see faces in clouds, floors, and other inanimate objects. Also helps when looking at real faces of people in a crowd. See also: pareidolia

Desensitization and habituation to capsaicin. I can eat spicy foods.

Same. It sucks. My brothers have continually given me shit for decades for being a bitch that doesn’t like spicy wings. I’m like “dudes, it’s not that I don’t enjoy the taste, it’s that my stomach will literally cramp up 4 hours from now and I’ll be shitting pain.”
