Trains.
My kid is a train kid, I’m already listening to it non-stop, I won’t make things worse for me or him.
Hello fellow parent. I feel your anguish. I have star wars and dinosaurs. Tbh I’m not even mad, most of the times… I’d just need some more time in the morning before the uninterrupted stream of words!
Exactly. He’s turning into a Lego kid, but uh, did you know that Lego has trains? (They recently put out a gorgeous Oriental Express train that even I want now.). My biggest gripe about trains is they take up so so so much space.
I am excited for his teenage years for when he wants to sleep in and I get to wake him up.
But today is Christmas, and if you celebrate, Merry Christmas. (Mine is waking now, and it’s 430 am, time to stall him for 2 hours, as my daily gift to momma)
The universe.
Everything that has ever happened has occurred in the universe as far as anyone knows. Including all fiction.
Carl Sagan or Richard Feynman talking about physics or astronomy.
Feynman. No question.
I had to listen to a guy talk about the fanfic he was writing for 4 hours. So anything but that I suppose.
Honestly, nothing. No matter how strong my interest is in something, it will eventually shift dramatically and I’ll have trouble listening to any other thing.
My husband talking about something he’s passionate about and makes him happy. It doesn’t matter what, I love how excited he gets when he’s explaining something that matters to him.
Medicine
Any particular areas of medicine?
Also I haven’t been promoting the communities well enough but we’ve got some on Lemmy that could use more activity. I was planning to get them going more in the new year
!medicine@mander.xyz for r/medicine
!medicine@lemmy.world for the hub to other stuff
- !health@lemmy.world isn’t listed there yet but will be soon
Right now I’m a big nerd for infectious disease but tbh that changes every other three months. :)
The roman empire.
Clearly.
The only correct answer. As much of the discussion should also be in Latin.
Now you lost me.
Unless trebuchet is Latin…
Music
Story telling I’d ask them to improvise or use known stories to give me examples, I now have stories for a lifetime
Astrophysics/cosmology. I’m more artsy geek than STEM geek, but there is a tremendous amount of beauty found in what we know and don’t know about the universe.
Food. I love cooking and baking and recipe planning and eating and thinking about food and talking about food
I’d pick J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth, no hesitation
Don’t you put that evil on me. That sounds like a decent approximation of hell.
Yeah, I’d rather be deaf.
One subject I could manage (psychology/AI if it has to be nonfiction or mysteries if fiction counts), but not one voice.
Animal behavior. I never get bored learning about biology and specifically, all the interesting behaviors that animals have learned to reach their goals. Like elaborate mating dances, or long distance communication of whales.
