Current Events > What's the weirdest thing you have extensive knowledge about?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What random, weird things that most people either don't know or care about, do you actually have a surprisingly large amount of knowledge in?

For me, I can talk for hours on the History of Grunge music.

Perhaps stranger though, is that I can also tell you the long history of in-fighting and power dynamics within the children's entertainment group The Wiggles.

Maybe 80s Saturday morning commercials.

The memory mapping in the PS1 version of FFT.
I used to have a notebook full of memory addresses and notes from reverse-engineering the RAM layout with a gameshark.

Not including stuff related to my education/field, TES and Star Wars I guess lol.

---

More generally, I have a ton of knowledge on movies in general, and more specifically, sci-fi horror films, and animated films.

Feel like those are a bit more common tho.

Steganography

Worked for a notorious 3 letter agency in the past.

It's weird because I don't play fighting games.

breakdancing

Either game shows or animal penises

I dont think I have extreme knowledge of anything. one of those things where when you learn about something deeply, you realize how much you really don't know about it.

Whoa, that's dope dude.

There's some really cool knowledge bases in this topic so far. I'm intrigued by many of these things.

hydrogen bonding is really weird.

Probably competitive Pokemon.

Depending on how deep is considered extensive and what is considered weird, I also have a good grasp of math topics, e.g. group theory, abstract algebra in general, or analysis. But mostly at the graduate or Ph.D. level, so there's others - hell others on this board (scar the 1 comes to mind) could probably out-talk me on the matters.

Oh well. One day.

At least my girlfriend (undergrad in math at the moment) likes my math rambles, even if she struggles to keep up. Same with some of my other math inclined friends.

I do worry that I don't actually know enough to succeed though... There's so much I feel I don't know

There's a guide on this site about rewriting FF9's entire spell system with a few gameshark codes.

I have a thing about learning the lyrics to every song i like well enough to sing them in entirety without thinking about it

I know the lyrics to hundreds of songs by memory, even ones i havent heard in years. And i still do this with songs i find interesting

---

I used to be very keyed into the underground 90s NYC rap scene. It was about all I listened to for around 4-5 years.

---

The history of the United States of America. I can name every president, their years in office, birthday and date of death, and most of their wives and VPs. And I know the dates of admission of every State. And I know most of the major historical events since European settlement of the continent.

It's weird because I'm from the UK.

Thanks to my wife I know way too much about Taylor Swift.

Football and fantasy football. These subjects used to serve me well in dealings with extended family or other random straight folk, but not so much these days.

Not a can talk for hours knowledge but more of a random skill-
if someone asks about the price of a household product I can often estimate accurately and tell them the cheapest place locally to look for it haha, comes from experience and how often I go shopping

things I can talk for an hour or more about depending on if someone is interacting with me or not would be piercings and small animals as pets I suppose haha
