MODERATORS
Why the Midwest(usa) cucks so much. Its like the cuck mecca of the world. Google it.
Honestly nothing. It's almost like a compulsion, where I feel like if I ignore something I'm a bad person.
AmericaUS. l I'm just done with them. I'd like it if they just STFU for a good long while. Leave everyone else alone while they implode themselves in the stupidest of ways.
Cars. I drive them, but I leave the technology to the professionals.
I thought I was the only one.
I studied computers down to the transistor level. I know many of the different cells in the immune cascade. I've researched child psychology.
But ask me to explain what a car's transmission is and the only thing in my brain is dial-up tones...
Same. I'll go as far as changing a wheel when I have a flat, but that's pretty much it.
Otherwise, I can lift the bonnet and go "yep, that's an engine" quite convincingly.
Yeah, if there isn't an unconnected hose or cable, that's about the extent of my car knowledge.
Hobby Horsing. It really is a thing and it’s not something freaky deaky strange. It’s just kinda cringy & well why not ditch the pretend horse thing and just parkour? That there is another thing that I don’t care about. I do enjoy the outtakes of parkour mishaps. On second thought, if a highlight reel of Hobby Horsing accidents exists, I’d absolutely watch. It could really be quite entertaining.
There is a dude on Instagram who has been doing "hobby Enduro" which is basically the same thing but with an Enduro bike stick thing between your legs. I've been following it for a while because it seems like it's ironic but it's starting to get to a point where idk if the guy still thinks it's a joke anymore.
Our neighbors three year old plays like that too.
Sports
Sports are fine when you do them. Watching strangers perform is quite uninteresting.
The kardashian universe. I’ve never seen an ep, don’t know their names or whatever the fuck they do or say. As a 30 year old woman I feel like a unicorn not knowing shit about fuck when it comes to that whole thing.
Chess theory. If i wanted to play against someone that knew all the best moves id play a chess robot
Celebrities, French language
French was my only choice for a second foreign language in school and I hated it. Such a weird language. They need a writing reform. Bordeaux is just comically bad. English could use a writing reform as well.
Heey I live there!
Can you deny it though?
Oiseaux !
We keep it that way purposely to annoy the English speakers, so that we can make fun of you.
Oh it's not annoying me. I just don't want to learn see or speak the language. Since I moved a little further from the French border that is much easier.
Short form content that isn't a to the point tutorial.
Hell, on that note, tutorial videos where the person rambles on and on and on before finally showing you what to do. I came for a tutorial on how to do something and not a blog!
-American health insurance
-High level maths
-American taxes
Why people are infatuated with celebrities.
That's a fascinating subject IMO.
Like there is a king/celeb/hero/... hole in ther mind they just must fill.

I just gonna TLDR my list:
- Brands
- New Music (Sabrina Carpenter, Alex Warren)
- Religious fanatics, my parents specifically
- Hookah
- Calculus
Sports culture. Betting, fantasy leagues, statistics. I immediately flatline if the conversation turns to it
Same here. And it used to cripple me during meetings, and basic conversations with coworkers. I’ve worked in sales, construction, and inventory management and the sports convos were inescapable and apparently a huge key to relating to customers and colleagues.
Just could never get into it, and not the type to fake it either. Unless I’m playing the sport, I could give a fuck less about others who I do not and will not ever know playing a sport.

The need to have a giant house / car / other oversized, impractical status symbol. It just reeks of insecurity and it's all bullshit, no one needs houses that big it's just plain fucking stupid.
Hmm...
I'd argue against houses/living space (what is reasonable) but the other stuff: Yeah.
Example:
I'd like a living space with 3-4 rooms with a nice garden.
Do I need that much when I could suffice with just 2? No.
Would I like to, to do my hobbies and interests? Yep
