I'm fantastic at volumetric estimation, like when choosing the smallest Tupperware that will fit all the leftovers.
I can do this also but it is always extremely close but still fits
The second thing we have a big drawer with random sizes of tupperware containers and i just take the one looks like it fits and it is very close every time
"Very close" is easy - it's the "very close without going over" that's tricky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But it's not something I can do unless it's accidental...
This is an amazing skill.
I can do this as I’m drinking something - one gulp is roughly one ounce. Was especially handy with water fountains when tracking my hydration, but that hasn’t been relevant since 2019.
