When you really think about it, I guess we’re all in the 1% of SOMETHING, right?
You just have to dig deep into the recesses of your brain to figure it out.
And that can be a lot of fun!
What are you in the 1% of?
Here’s how AskReddit users responded.
1. Wild…and boring.
“According to my smart watch I’m in the top 1% of step count in the past 7 days.
Wild and also boring.”
2. Impressive.
“I am the seventh generation in my family with the same name.
At the end of my name I legally have a VII.”
3. What a story.
“I figured I have to be in the top 1% of deaf guitar players worldwide.
I heard completely fine for like 25 years and spent 19 years of that to practise guitar playing.
Been legally deaf for 3 years now and still can play well (muscle memory). I kinda want to start a band called Deaf Metal or something.”
4. That’s too bad.
“I’m sucrose and fructose intolerant.
No fruit, candy, ice cream, or even some veggies for me.”
5. Nice!
“I am a pilot.
In the USA about 0.01% of the population has a pilot’s license.
I am also an amputee which in the USA is about 1% of the population.
Not sure what % of the populace are amputee pilots but it’s got to be pretty small.”
6. Not happy about it.
“Got my wisdom teeth pulled. One side grew back over a year from a fragment left.
Dentist published an article about it and was so happy. I was not with another oral surgery.”
7. Hope it all works out.
“I have small intestinal cancer. The type is the same as colon cancer. But where it’s located is less than 1% of world wide diagnosis per year.
But I’ve signed papers for 11 different oncologists to be able to access my records to see what works what doesn’t etc. because they just don’t get enough examples of it. Kind of hit or miss on procedures to work with, which treatments first, which type of chemo, etc.
Ive also said that if it ever reaches a point where I’m terminal and common treatments just won’t/don’t work anymore, I’m willing to go all guinea pig. Depending on exactly where it is, because of the veins coming off of your mesentaric artery to feed the small intestine, it usually isn’t operable. So you are strictly on chemo and radiation.
If the heavy levels don’t do it, then you get to go on low dose chemo daily for however long it works. Then it eventually doesn’t.Currently according to my last PET scan, the tumors have disappeared.
They won’t say remission, just that it seems to be “dormant” right now. I’ll take it.”
8. Very rare.
“I’m a test tube baby.
That’s like 0.001% of the population.”
9. Crazy.
“Alpha gal allergy. I was bitten by a Lone Star Tick and now I’m allergic to any kind of mammal meat.
Most cases last between 6 to 8 months, mine appears to be permanent after a decade :/ I can’t even eat something that’s been prepped/ cooked on the same surface as beef or pork in restaurants.
Wait staff isn’t too fond of me.”
10. I bet that’s no fun.
“I’m in the 1% for people with narcolepsy.
I believe it’s .05% of America and .04% for the world.”
11. Bragging rights.
“Spades.
I am actually in the top .06% and used to be #1 out of 43,000 players.
So I’m like one of the top billionaires in the world but in spades skills… so that earns me about uh… $0.00.”
12. What could it be?
“I have an autoimmune disease that’s so rare nobody knows what it is.
Genetic testing is currently underway to see if I have a recently discovered genetic defect that about ten people have been diagnosed with.”
13. That’s a great thing!
“When Spotify released listening statistics at the end of 2020, I was on the top .1% of Weird Al Yankovic listeners.”
