RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I can finger whistle! (lemmy.ca)

I feel like a child. 🀣 I've wanted to do this all my life and, along with a couple of my kids, we decided to look up tutorials and make it happen. And... I can finger whistle now! And I can't stooop! πŸ˜—πŸŽΆ

There's multiple ways to do it and they're all pretty similar, but the keys seem to be rolling back the tip of the tongue and making sure to close off extra spaces so the air has only one route to travel.

What's something silly you've learned recently that's brought you joy?

Wait wait wait...

I've never been able to whistle, even with the finger approach. I think it's because my lower two front teeth are inconveniently crooked, but I could be wrong..

Do you have a link or three to share for finger whistling, or any whistling for that matter?

Anyways, back to your question, I finally halfway learned the Rubik's Cube, but only after I added dice dot holes to it. Honestly it creates an interesting crossover of puzzle/die patterns.

I'm no expert, but I can whistle pretty well. Now I can finger whistle. And in both cases, I'm not sure teeth have a significant role. I think you can do it!
