Everyone has their own areas of expertise.

Not necessarily something related to their professional field, but more one of their great interests or passions, which they almost unknowingly learned about over time.

And as a result, should said topic arise during a group gathering or dinner party, they'll be able to talk about it for hours.

Much to the delight, or dismay, of their friends and family.

Redditor NikonDexter was curious to learn people's hidden knowledge on which they could provide an impromptu lecture, leading them to ask:

"What topic could you talk about for 30 minutes with no preparation?"

People believe anything I say.

"Anything, as long as nobody’s fact-checking me."- Left_Complaint1604

You think the werewolves in Twilight are scary?...

"Why most modern interpretations of classic folklore creatures, werewolves, faeries, vampires, etc., are less scary than the original stories."- Applesintheorchard

Don't even get me started...

"Why people who don't use turn signals are f*ck heads."- scotsworth

Everyone has a passion that they will never tire of learning.

But, don't be surprised or offended if your friends and family don't seem as interested.

That just means you don't have to pretend to be interested in what they start talking about...

Democrats have called for Hegseth's firing amid revelations that Hegseth shared details about U.S. military operations in Yemen using his personal phone in a 13-person Signal group chat that included his wife and brother—despite a prior warning from an aide advising him not to share sensitive information over an unsecure channel ahead of the operation.
