    My wife has your skill. I hold that skill to be of no value whatsoever.

      My father was frustratingly difficult to watch movies with, because of this exact thing. He would pause the movie to explain that the actor on screen had been in some other obscure movie a decade ago. It was especially bad if two actors had previously worked in the same project, because then he would start listing off other cast and crew they had worked with in the past.

      Okay, great, please press Play. I just want to watch the goddamned movie.

        That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program to create a replacement for if IMDb’s data is scrapeable, but I don’t know anything about programming

          that's on the fly volume calculation. very useful for when you have to pack a truck.
          also helps if you have some Tetris experience. so def monetizeable

          Funny, I just had to help someone pack a house into one of those POD things and they ended up saying, "You're better at this, you say what goes where."

          I don't think I'm as good at it with really large volumes, but the storage container thing is pretty handy.

            No, like 0 0 0 0 0 .... 1 1 1 1 1 .... 2 2 2 2 ....

            and I forget the rest, but I'm pretty sure I know the last digit

              lmao My friends and I do this, but we do not pause the movie. We can keep track of what is happening, give obscure info, tell jokes, even, if it's necessary, we do pause the movie to go to youtube to watch some video because someone remembered see some similar scene or something. Maybe that is our useless skill

                    The actor who played Oscar in The Office also was in The Italian Job (Marc Walberg, Charlize Theron). He was the security guard for the rich guy (Edward Norton) and said maybe two lines while checking ID.

                      My boring super power isn't something I can monetize, but it's useful regularly: being able to pick the best sized Tupperware container to put leftovers in.

                        Unscrambling jumbled words. I can usually do 5-letter ones at a glance, and 6-letters in a few seconds.

                          God forbid we have a piece of our lives that isn’t monetized for the grind.

                            Heh, my wife went through the drawer a few years ago and threw away all the containers that didn't have lids, and lids without containers. I was amazed at how many there were. Not sure how that happens. Must be with the missing socks.

                              My wife and daughter do this a lot, but their version is to quietly look up the actors and then announce their results during a lull, so it works out fine. I just do it in my head so I'm like yeah I know, she was also in whatever with Val Kilmer.

                              There are certain TV shows where you could spend the whole time figuring out who used to be in what - in the 80s Murder She Wrote featured just about every middle-tier actor from the 60s or 70s. Before that they were on The Love Boat. Seems like there must be a modern show full of 90s through 2010s actors but I don't know what it would be. Hey, there's Topanga!

                                It used to be Simpsons quotes. But now it's been so long that I've forgotten most.

                                        Why anyone would even start a YouTube channel right now is beyond me. Unless you're planning to go full Louis Rossman and DGAF.
