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?

Isn't this post a bit backwards, most of us on Lemmy are nerds, and probably in multiple ways, this post should be the opposite, where the nerds highlight all of the ways that they're "cool" or whatever.
