Skydiving
~4500 jumps that included; night jumps, competition 4-way and 8-way, a couple of record jumps (I was on the a team that set state records in 3 different states back in the day) , Demos into various stadiums, air shows and a couple of NASCAR races.
I might know a thing or two that the average Lemmy user has no idea about.
Neat - paraglider here, but I know zero things about skydiving. It does seem to be common though, from talking to PG instructors, that skydivers learning PG tend to be very heavy handed with the controls. Just remember smooth and light if you ever try it out. :)
My very specific niche in programming.
If you ask me about some very common things, I have no clue. JavaScript? More like JavaShit amirite? But if someone can explain OCI layers, describe the boot process of a RISC-V device as it leads U-boot and a Linux kernel, and talk about performance optimisations in modern Python... Well, my team is looking for more developers and this combination of skills seems impossible to find.
Plumbing, since I've been a professional plumber in both North America and Europe. Not the most interesting knowledge base but alas, it is what it is. Other than that, Age of Empires II maybe?
Using sex toys anally/anal sex toys
My record is a 9 inch circumference
honestly, i know a little about many things so i don't really know. i guess uh, when it comes to skill, i can definitely draw better than the average lemmy user, and i know some theory as well.
Anything remotely rural. It makes sense that Lemmy would be mostly city-dwellers, but I still manage to be surprised by the gap.
Domestic abuse.
Edit: I'm a DA outreach worker and I've researched the field a lot
Propane and propane-related accessories
Sound design, mixing, and mastering audio.
Please prove me wrong, I'm so lonely.
Um probably most people here know more about their work subject than the average Lemmy user
For me it's beekeeping and honey processing
PS my other half did her degrees in speech/language therapy and psychology
Cats, particularly kittens. I do a whole lot of fostering, particularly with very young and/or sick kittens. At this very moment, I have 16 fosters from 4 different litters.
My cat's thought process. I can tell when she's getting annoyed or when she wants to randomly barf. It's like a spidey sense.
Guitar, maybe. Definitely Pokemon breeding.
Pokémon breeding
Alright then bud, tell me about the genitals of the following Pokémon:
Describe the location, means of genetic exchange and palatation of fluids (if applicable)
Look, you want the trade secrets then you put in the work, you’ve got to earn this kind of information. You come down and put in some work at the ranch and you’ll find your answers.
This is actually a pretty good one cause lemmy is pretty technical. I would say its flashlights for me and electrical engineering.
Graded Modal Dependent Type Theory, but that's mostly because only "dozens of" people know it exists.
Computer programming.
Joking! There's no way in hell that's true around here. I'm pretty sure some of you guys could code The Matrix.
My specialist subject would probably be 90s UK Indie bands.
Locks especially high security ones like Medeco. I am the most knowledge person about them at the locksmith company I work at which easily puts me above the average Lemmy user.
I undoubtedly know more about fire than the average user here.
I'm a circus performer with a decade of experience with fire performance/tech/safety. I teach other fire performers from beginners to professionals.
Lighting and game design
Guesstimαting where I αm on the Dunning-Kruger Effect Curve for α pαrticulαr topic. 𝖠t leαst I think so . . .
why does your "a" look like that
You notic𝖾d!! 🎉
I b𝖾li𝖾v𝖾 many p𝖾opl𝖾 can't t𝖾ll the diff𝖾r𝖾nc𝖾 wh𝖾n k𝖾ming or l𝖾tt𝖾rs (i.e. ee, aα, or a s𝖾micolon ; and a Gr𝖾ek qu𝖾stion mark ;) ar𝖾 just a bit off, and I lov𝖾 it!
My nam𝖾 grawlix is the us𝖾 of typographical symbols to r𝖾plac𝖾 profanity (i.e. @$&%#), but I don't want to b𝖾 too obvious :)
Work: Chemical engineering, activated carbon (especially production), membrane filtration and high pressure boiler systems (shoutout @Chippys_mittens@lemmy.world).
Non-work: Moonshine making, Festival organizing (quit two years ago), plumbing, carpentry and general home improvement.
So cool meeting someone in the CSD field! I did my undergrad in CSD, but went for audiology. I have my AuD and am finishing up a PhD (I also did a MS in neuro, but that was because the classes mostly lined up with the PhD and the tuition was free). I swear, finding people outside of tech on lemmy is rare. Finding someone inside of CSD is even more rare. Now I'm curious if I am going to find any other audiology people...
Herpetology is my thing
I am sure there are some cryptologists here, soo.. Nothing? Anyway, I know a bit about how RSA is inferior to eliptic-curve based schemes, and how security can be such a diverse and complicated topic than simple two-party communications.
