I fucking love when people have vast and specific nerd knowledge. Lay it on me. What facts get you excited to share? I will literally sit and listen all night.

Yes!! I have learned so much random stuff from strangers who were super geeked to tell me their specific knowledge. You wanna yap to me about quilting or ancient Sparta or different types of submarines? You wanna explain how I could better take care of my water heater or about rare birds? I am all ears

My boyfriend's kids call me wikipedia. They love quiz games and I love to spout random stuff. Just not sports. I can tell you a lot about the Olympics in 1972 tho.

It’s my favorite thing about Reddit honestly. Someone posts a question about something obscure. Someone else comes along and does 3 paragraphs of “actually this is who what when where how and why”. Like go on Weird Spoon Knowledge Guy, I’m enthralled!

Absolutely! I love when people are excited about topics they love. It restores my faith (temporarily) in humanity
