I posted this comment on the same meme in a different comm, but it's worth saying again:

I'm a big proponent of "showing your weird" -- I've always liked weird people because they don't appear to be hiding anything, they just have a genuine quality normal people don't, whereas people who seem "perfect" or "normal" (whatever that means) are often too good to be true, and are fucked up in a way they have to hide.

I've had success showing my weird; it weeds out those who would not want me, and that prevents wasted time and energy on something that'd never work.

All this being said, if I were on a date with a person and they started doing this, well, I'd be extremely interested.

I would like to hear this 27 minute lecture on sea monster map placement.

This thread is completely devoid of map sea monster facts and that’s a travesty

No no no. You need to start by explaining the evolution of mapmaking, before focusing on the monsters.
Non-map people don't have enough background on maps, so you must provide that first.

But when it works it's oh so awesome.

Unironically if I went on a date with someone and they infodumped for 30 minutes about sea monsters on old maps I think I'd fall in love lmao.

If she doesn't want to hear your dissertation on sea monsters then she's not the one.

She was probably turned off by the fact that they aren't maps, but rather nautical charts. :(

I never wondered why the map sea monsters were placed in the locations that they were placed in.

I am now wondering why the map sea monsters were placed in the locations that they were placed in.

I'd date them

I mean, 27 minutes barely seems enough for a proper introduction to such a vast subject.

She got lucky, clearly her date was actually a sea monster disguised as a human, a clear attempt as using lonely humans as a slightly more ethical food source rather than sailors who might have family at home waiting for their return.

Try dating other autists, normies don't uh, speak your love language.

Monologues are not allowed to exceed 5 minutes on a date.

Maybe a sea monster ate her ice cream.

If you don't use visual aids, what do you expect?
