I’d spend 30 min back arguing on the correct pronouncing of qualiacontiks
So she’s knowledgeable and passionate about something and can hold a conversation instead of making the other person do all the work?
And he ghosted her???
Exactly my thoughts. Not just knowing a lot about something but also being willing to talk about it. So many people with actual interesting shit to say keep it to themselves until several interactions in. Like Yeats said
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”He* 🤦🏼♂️
Huh
No, OP and OOP are I’m pretty sure different people.
To the extent there is such a thing.
She. Her name is Casey Zinkiezich. Shes the OP, she goes by She/Her as indicated by her social media.
Was it a conversation or a knowledge dump without a lot of interaction?
I like the other person to show a little bit of interest in me, but that’s just me. I could be wrong.
Hey if the dude never contributed to the conversation, that’s on him. You gotta ask the nerd questions so you can get MORE information
sometimes you just want to enjoy the film, without all the needless marvel backstory to “enhance” it
As long as it’s about something cool, and not about what people I don’t know are doing, I’m good. I dgaf what some random person does, or anything about their life. Give me weird nature facts.
Once you hit’em with the “coelacanth is closer related to us than gold fish” gambit, which leads to the “what is fish” manoeuvre, and finish them with a “whales are fish and birds are reptiles” pincer attack, they’re as good as gone.
Wait.
Hank Green has helped me see the light. Whales are fish! Whales are fish!!!
There’s no such thing as a fish.
Harkin, is that you?
Don’t be absurd, you silly fish.
Me: Rambling about some esoteric topic that has no practical application to any part of my life.
My Wife: Listening intently even though she has no clue what I’m talking about.
I usually realize how long I’ve been going on when she starts smiling because she “thinks it’s cute.”
I don’t often feel like I’ve won the jackpot, but I sure did with this lady.
A keeper for sure. Just be sure to respond in kind.
I also choose this guy’s alive wife.
This is me. Im in this meme. I love coelacanths and fish.
swoons I love all topics evolution and nerd-adjacent. This is the type of date I wish I could go on instead of everyone conforming to some imagined idea of fleeting coolness or throwing money around. retches
I wish my nerds would throw a power point party, that seems like it would go over well with this crowd. (Not so sure about them)
You might enjoy Dropout’s “Smartypants” series. 🤓
Calling a mere 30 minutes “extensive” is a wild take. 2.5 hours into googology and I haven’t even started talking about Rayo’s number, tetration, or up-arrow notation yet.
What about TREE(3) though?
Kruskal’s Theorem:
you wish I was joking…
This is how my wife courted me, except with René Magritte instead of coelacanths.
You may be entitled to seek compensation.
Why, did someone take an apple to the face?
I love coelacanths 🤤
Coelacanth facts are hot. But you’d best be prepared for an equal measure of trilobite facts.
Best I can offer is four hours of railway trivia with the occasional rant on whatever specific subject my stream of trivia happens to hit upon
Next time tip the scales in your favor with a more positive approach. Little less coelaCAN’Th, little more coelacCANth.
And absolutely no coelacanþ.
þis is þorn erasure!!!1! 😤
swoon
See, this one knows what she’s doing.
I would love to meet someone who had so much enthusiasm for a topic that they want to teach me about it. I may not always understand, but I would listen to her all night long.
Should have gone with Babirussas
I’m more of a bird guy. Try those flying fish guys next time I guess.
what’s a coelecanth?
oof, I can feel the secondhand embarassment
Based on the replies you’ve gotten so far I suspect this may be a joke I’m not getting, but I’m choosing to react as if it’s a genuine question anyway.
A coelacanth is a super old fish that everyone thought was extinct, and then one day we just happened to find them alive! They’re a “living fossil” animal in that they haven’t changed much in a very long time and give us a window into the past. Here’s a picture I stole:
Too many fins. Don’t like it because it didn’t evolve into something on land. Selfish jerks.
Understandable, I only know what they are from Animal Crossing.
It’s a fish you can only catch while it’s raining.
it’s the single hole used for both shitting and sexual reproduction
