Like fantasy universe requires one to graduate from a certain level of magic school to cast fireballs, Discovery universe has its own justifications for supernatural abilities and unique powers. The more your skills will be based on the scientific truth of fictional world, the better chances you have to be approved by the people you are playing with.
While I usually play along with characters who do something not normal, but sometimes it's irking me. It's like a deal - you make me dizzy, you give me some interesting time and in return I'll beleve that you are a level 80 elf.
And, no, Somni, most probably I won't play along with people juggling coffee mugs for lulz.
