- Philosophy of technology, philosophy of history, philosophy of education (much-neglected subfields)
- History of literacy and bookmaking
- Maritime aviation
- Homelabbing (operating your own server cluster at home for fun)
u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts

My strangest dead-serious ethical stance is probably: "It is immoral to be mean to inanimate objects."
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
