For example, I once rode on a Hovercraft. What's your claim to unique experience?

spent time in several recording studios. did some audio restoration work for some folks, including restoration of family heirloom audio tape recording of long-passed family members, rendering their voices clearly audible after decades of being muffled in worn-out tape noise/distortion. i've also taken monophonic audio recordings and spectrally subtracted instruments one-by-one to put on their own individual tracks for later remixing into stereo/surround.

One thing that I have done that most people have not is that I killed 2 deer with the same bullet one time.

being a senior citizen who was alive in the 60s i remember back then as if it was yesterday, my dad's making deer sausage in the garage. i can still smell it, the dead deer hanging/exsanguinating in the corner, the sage and other spices, the taste and smell and texture of the cooked sausages.

I stuck a pair of scissors into a wall socket. Huge jolt and I found myself on the other side of the room. I was a teenager and old enough to know better.

Not sure if tarot cards count? A lot of people have an interest in tarot cards but it is a rather unique hobby.
