Everyone's a nerd about something. What are you a nerd about? (lemmy.world)

I know it's an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I've always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I've always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We've gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn't mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?

I always think I'm a nerd about video games until I come across someone who's played more than me. But I'll go on and on about certain games and franchises if someone lets me.

You don't have to be the ultimate nerd to still be a nerd about it. I'm the same way - there are massive game franchises I've never touched, but I'll get in deep on the ones I do play, but I only have about 2 friends who game so I never get the chance.
