Basically anything that I don't know enough about to explain well, which is basically anything as I am dumb.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I am sure you know a bunch of things about topics better than a lot of other people. Maybe you just think you don't know it well enough. Plus, being into something doesn't mean you have to be able to teach it to others, this doesn't mean your dumb. When you get a chance, give yourself some grace, you deserve it! :)

I have quite a collection of speedos and I didn't buy them for swimming
The music I listen to sometimes. Prime example: Bass Slut by S3rl 💀
I'm obsessed with learning about particle physics and quantum mechanics. And of course slowly learning all the math that underpins it.
I just find myself to be very curious about how the world works, in many different ways.
It's exhausting having to go into the defensive posture simply for saying I'm interested in a subject that is way over most people's heads. Instantly arouses feelings of inadequacy in people. It never fails to sully the enjoyment of my passion, and create tension between friends.
That and pro wrestling.
