Honestly nothing. It’s almost like a compulsion, where I feel like if I ignore something I’m a bad person.
Why the Midwest(usa) cucks so much. Its like the cuck mecca of the world. Google it.
Cars. I drive them, but I leave the technology to the professionals.
Same. I’ll go as far as changing a wheel when I have a flat, but that’s pretty much it.
Otherwise, I can lift the bonnet and go “yep, that’s an engine” quite convincingly.
Yeah, if there isn’t an unconnected hose or cable, that’s about the extent of my car knowledge.
Hobby Horsing. It really is a thing and it’s not something freaky deaky strange. It’s just kinda cringy & well why not ditch the pretend horse thing and just parkour? That there is another thing that I don’t care about. I do enjoy the outtakes of parkour mishaps. On second thought, if a highlight reel of Hobby Horsing accidents exists, I’d absolutely watch. It could really be quite entertaining.
Stick with me here, Hobby Jousting.
There is a dude on Instagram who has been doing “hobby Enduro” which is basically the same thing but with an Enduro bike stick thing between your legs. I’ve been following it for a while because it seems like it’s ironic but it’s starting to get to a point where idk if the guy still thinks it’s a joke anymore.
Ok guys you got me. This is fascinating. Does the enduro guy have to make bike sounds with his mouth?
Sports
Sports are fine when you do them. Watching strangers perform is quite uninteresting.
Chess theory. If i wanted to play against someone that knew all the best moves id play a chess robot
The kardashian universe. I’ve never seen an ep, don’t know their names or whatever the fuck they do or say. As a 30 year old woman I feel like a unicorn not knowing shit about fuck when it comes to that whole thing.
Good for you - seriously, are you single?
Celebrities, French language
The French language exists purely so that there can be English speaking with a French accent.
French was my only choice for a second foreign language in school and I hated it. Such a weird language. They need a writing reform. Bordeaux is just comically bad. English could use a writing reform as well.
I’m blaming the French when English needs a reform. Much of the language is stolen French, with the diabolical inherent spelling traps, the other reason reform is required is the halting of the vowel change, which is why some words, though written the same, sound different - one example: though (tho) and bough (bau).
Can’t see it happening to be honest.
Yes but a lot is also language change. Knight for example was just spoken with a K and a fricative at that time and place. The writing just wasn’t adapted to the changes in speech.
True, true.
Heey I live there!
Can you deny it though?
We keep it that way purposely to annoy the English speakers, so that we can make fun of you.
Oh it’s not annoying me. I just don’t want to learn see or speak the language. Since I moved a little further from the French border that is much easier.
Short form content that isn’t a to the point tutorial.
Hell, on that note, tutorial videos where the person rambles on and on and on before finally showing you what to do. I came for a tutorial on how to do something and not a blog!
-American health insurance
-High level maths
-American taxes
NFTs. I’m too old for that nonsense
I just gonna TLDR my list:
- Brands
- New Music (Sabrina Carpenter, Alex Warren)
- Religious fanatics, my parents specifically
- Hookah
- Calculus
Why people are infatuated with celebrities.
That’s a fascinating subject IMO.
Like there is a king/celeb/hero/… hole in ther mind they just must fill.
Same reason people like watching TV dramas. It’s escapism. They get to vicariously live someone else’s more colourful life - or are glad they’re not living the celebrity’s real or acted horrible life - for a short while to get away from their own.
And anyone on a screen is usually better-looking as well, which is a big draw.
This is a really fair way to put it. I can’t understand it personally, but I read fantasy books to escape the real world, and I tell anyone I can that I read fiction only because I live in the real world and I’ve had enough of its shit. So appreciate your shedding some light on it, because I certainly didn’t understand it (celebrity nonsense). Still don’t, but maybe I will soon.

I think it’s funnier if I just never attempt to “get it”

Sports culture. Betting, fantasy leagues, statistics. I immediately flatline if the conversation turns to it
Same here. And it used to cripple me during meetings, and basic conversations with coworkers. I’ve worked in sales, construction, and inventory management and the sports convos were inescapable and apparently a huge key to relating to customers and colleagues.
Just could never get into it, and not the type to fake it either. Unless I’m playing the sport, I could give a fuck less about others who I do not and will not ever know playing a sport.
Some folks get deep into D&D and build encyclopedic knowledge on estoric spell combos, some delve deep into trains, and some memorize how many lifetime touchdowns Joe Namath has. Dumb, but I understand it.
Meh, even that is different. One facilitates an activity YOU partake in. The other is an activity you watch others do. Obsessing over how well grown men perform at children’s games is odd. Structuring your weekend around observing other people exercise while you sit on the couch…is weird.
Its that reason why I say everyone is a nerd about something.
Yah, you may be talking to the former school jock/football star who was barely handed their diploma, but ask them about their sport/the industries around it. You will likely get a better lesson on statistics and managment that you can get out of most text books. (Assuming you can keep the conversation focused)
People usually like talking about their interests.
Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with being into football, just like there’s nothing wrong with not being into it. If you’re an asshole about either of those things, that’s a problem.
