tomate 🍅OK folks - except for everything Computers/Electronics, what do you nerd out to and what is it? #nerdout
Nico🦆@EH23@jascha cider and how to make it
Jan Lehnardt 
@jascha Golden Age of Murder Mysteries / Agatha a Christie & friends. Gardening. Drumming.
vollkorn (DECT 5676/"korn")@vollkorn I enjoy Christie unapologetically, almost everything she did, with extra soft spots for Miss Marple and Timmy & Tuppence. I do love Dorothy L Sayers’ Wimsey (and Allingham’s Campion), but who are we kidding, Harriet Vane a lot. The early Freeman Wills Crofts books are very good as well and I enjoy a good chunk of the Ngaio Marsh books.
From the more modern variants, I enjoy Elly Griffiths, Seishi Yokomizo, Harini Nagendra, Anthony Horowitz, Alex Michaelides, Nita Prose, Vaseem Khan.
@vollkorn I recommend the Shedunnit and All About Agatha podcasts for inspiration, deep dives and author interviews.
@vollkorn I’m happy to make more specific recommendations should you want them :)
@janl Which are your favorite Whodunnit movies?
@vollkorn I meant I am happy to suggest books to you, if you can tell me what kind of things you like.
@janl Yeah, I figured, but I was wondering about movies, too, because these I can better enjoy together with my partner.
@vollkorn The Orient Express, Death on the Nile and Evil under the Sun are classics for a reason, they are star-studded and very good. I’d stay away from the Brennagh ones. The modern Rian Johnson ones are exquisite, however.
For comedy, of course, Clue is the gold standard.
Otherwise I’m not that much into the movie format.
Gente@Gente I did the original Serial and then the deep-dive spin off about the trial, but that was enough for from that genre.
Snarf@jascha theatre tech
Thibaultmol 🌈@jascha logistics? If I'm waiting for something somewhere I'll be looking around and depending on where I am I might be trying to figure out the logistics of something.
If I'm in a roller coaster queue I'll try and figure out what their procedures might be for maintenance and such.
I recently went to cirque du soleil and locked out how their tent was constructed and how ventilation and everything worked. Also looking at how the stage worked and the flow of everything

Łukasz (woo-cash)@jascha Bicycles. Tinkering to see what works best for me or what can I do by mixing different parts together (parts bin go brr).
Medizinphysiker@jascha Trains of course! 🚂🚄🚞🚆
And everything related to ionizing radiation... ☢️🩻
Katrien M Michiels@jascha food traditions, cooking and hazmat incident response
Christian Behrends@jascha I just got into ropeflow. It looks so easy on YouTube but has quite the learning curve irl.
Drehumdiebolzeningenieur@jascha textiles and fibers
Marius@jascha ttrpgs! And nearly everything related to Fantasy and Sci-fi
Mopsi Dick
Andi Popp 🇺🇦🎗️
@jascha All the other usual stuff: Mangas, SciFi, TTRPGs, Games, Electoral Systems, City Planning and Beer Brewing.
BlumenKid@jascha Whisky, zoomer/alpha culture, sci fi, bicycles, politics and many things that strike my fancy at the moment. If I find something interesting, I usually find it EXTREMELY interesting, there's no inbetween for me.
yetzt@jascha rollerderby.
piegames@jascha music theory and music history, pharmacology, rope knots, taxonomies
Cristian Yxen@jascha motorbikes, ducatis
Timotheus Schneidegger@jascha Tectonics and capitalism! 💪
Sandzwerg@jascha cooking for many people
Daniël Franke 
@jascha TTRPGs, science fiction. Probably more, but those come to mind right now. I tend to rotate passions and hobbies semi regularly, as is tradition for us ADHD types.
PaulaToThePeople 😷@jascha I nerd out about not putting computers/electronics and AI into everything, about human intelligence, empathy, solidarity, emotional intelligence, social skills, non-normativity, all kinds of diversity (queer, neuro-, bio- etc.), nature, the wood wide web, human connections, attachment, psychology, communication, solarpunk, lunarpunk, permaculture, terra preta, regenerative agriculture, mutual aid, share economy, repair society and all that shit.
Katti@jascha Coffee. Walter Moers.
@jascha dinosaurs, trains, boots and planes… the typical autism stuff 🥲
Benny/Lurch@jascha (late night) comedy
Mad Alex@jascha Excuse me, I don't nerd out about Computers/Electronics, I nerd out about Storage! 😜
Besides that, I nerd about tabletop role-playing games, and I guess folding knives as well.
Lars@jascha Sailboats and sailing, traveling with trains, architecture, fonts, nice ink pens, and I just read several articles about owls (it’s international owl day 🦉).
Uwe Sinha@jascha Euro banknotes: https://de.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?user=90824
(If you happen to know the reason behind the Bundesdruckerei's weird numbering scheme for their 20 € notes, you're welcome to explain it to me.)
Hasko 🇪🇺🦄🌻@jascha history and music history
taketwo
Jiji, the cat@jascha not sure if this counts, but i have been getting into a tea rabbit hole and now have many pretty tea pots and 30 different kinds of specialty tea 
mʌp ᯅ 
@jascha Japanese language/culture, sci-fi lore, video games, trivia.
crypticcelery @ EH23 📞2579@jascha space, cooking, photography (might be too computer though), ttrpgs, plus whatever story I am currently hyperfixated on.
Vickie Gray 🍁@jascha Bagpipes. Technique, idioms, harmonics…
Falk Stern@jascha Photography and motorcycles.
Sudo Sudo Sudo ⒶⒺⓋ@jascha Too many nerd interests, so how deeply I geek on them is sliding scale: Audiophile, health span extension, sustainable building, permaculture, anthropology, SciFi, philosophy, Utopian chasing ideas from constructed languages and cultures for progressively transforming governments and economies. All that Star Trek and Buckfuller Minister futurism, architecture, Space Science and weather, TTRPG, and I'm currently Overlanding in my EV for vacation.
Rebecca Segers
chfkch 
Anna-Lena@jascha ICE-Trains, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, classical music (theory)…
stefan@jascha currently:
- Manufacturers and models of fire hydrants in Germany over the decades (and how they conspired and formed a cartel until the 2000s: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrantenkartell)
- accessibility options at level street crossings according to DIN 32981
- different ways of window washing (S-washing, Highly Purified Water w/or w/o microfiber etc)
the other current stuff is maybe too computers-adjacent to count. To be replaced with other interests soonish, probably.
Pecca@jascha camping gear 😻 everything from ultralight to glamping
