May Likes TorontoWhat's the most niche topic that you can confidently talk about for 5 minutes?
I have many, but my most niche might be air pressure flows in a radioactive pharmaceuticals production facility.
"Musty Bits" McGee@mayintoronto that sounds interesting tho
@arichtman It is! it's very cool!
Tyrone Slothrop@mayintoronto Handling tax and transfer pricing for Inner Source platforms in a globocorp, along with the necessary export control process
@slothrop That's so niche, my eyes glazed over *and* I had a flashback to my IBM days.
@mayintoronto right??!
It’s not just super niche, it’s also a supremely boring niche.
I’m now cursed with Stockholm Syndrome-based attachment to the topic.
clewIntentionally radioactive?
@clew Cleanliness for pharmaceuticals, but containment for radioactivity.
Dave bauer@mayintoronto Oh cool!
Scott Francis@mayintoronto omg I want to hear this talk
@darkuncle This one's pushing the limits of 5 minutes though. It's old knowledge that I haven't interacted with in a long time.
morachbeag@mayintoronto ooo are guitars niche yet? (proceeds to talk about the difference between a Stratocaster made in early 1962 vs late 1962 vs reissues until everybody falls asleep 30 seconds later) 😅
@morachbeag That's their problem!
Analog AI@morachbeag @mayintoronto Yes! you definately get at least 5 minutes, regardless of whether the audience is enthusiastic (hopefully) or not (likely for most niche things).
ElectropictOne of my former topics; though it's been decades since I had occasion to talk about it and have forgotten most of it. Still ... grotesque exaggeration of head width!
[edit:] And fretboard radius! It's coming back to me...
