I have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of fish from the atlantic basin, specifically in and around the south east US and Carribean.
It freaks people out sometimes when I just start reciting fish facts whenever the rare occasion this comes up.
It's from me living partially on a boat as a child and tearing through books about fish while dreaming of being a marine biologist until the cold hard reality of for-profit education hit me in my early adulthood.
What are your weird topics and skills?
It’s gotten a little rusty as of late but there was a time in my life where I could label every single country on a map along with most of their capitals. Whenever I was bored and had nothing better to do I’d just stare at maps and shit. Even now I could probably still label like ~80% of a world map from memory

I have a friend that can do that and it is impressive 100% of the time
in college i would get bored and go on Sporcle a lot. I have the specific memory of when i was able to do all the countries. moved on to capitals and flags after.
