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

Whenever I need to vent...

"All the stupid sh*t my coworkers do."- DerpWilson

Tell me it's just a game...

" Video games most likely."

"I could easily talk about one of the Ace Attorney cases for 30 minutes."- zettasyntax

"Warhammer 40000."

"It won't be a quick 30 minutes."- Son_of_steven19

The force is strong...

"How f*cking incompetent the Jedi order are."- species-baby

Just listen

"Music."- Love-In-Veinz

They're more like us than you think.

"Animal facts."- Moctor_Drignall

Happy Jump GIF Giphy

Varied interests...

"Metal."

"Both the fabrication material and the music."- Faythlessly

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...

In another bid to get back into the good graces of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's fans, gun rights poster boy Kyle Rittenhouse claimed fluoride in drinking water is "making people gay."

Rittenhouse fell out of favor with the MAGAsphere in 2024 for criticizing their Dear Leader on his 2nd Amendment stance.

Trump Blasted After Declaring Himself ‘Acting President Of Venezuela’ In Mock Wikipedia Entry

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he shared a mock Wikipedia entry that features a picture of himself with the new title of "Acting President of Venezuela."
