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

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...

Just listen

"Music."- Love-In-Veinz

They're more like us than you think.

"Animal facts."- Moctor_Drignall

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...

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
