What's your useless skill?

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

Pub trivia contests?
That's a fun skill! You're also clearly good at picking usernames

If we give up our dental plan... I'll have to pay for Lisa's braces!

mythology.. isn't that a horse with 4 legs and 2 arms (the almighty centaur)?
Sleipnir isn't a centaur. It's a horse with eight legs.

Well hey, if you monetize it whatever service you monetize on will just demonetize it without warning for no reason anyway.

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
Yeah you try this with me and I'll definitely pause the movie until y'all be quiet unless it's a trash fire type watch

Hmmm your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Thank you! I like making up usernames, and on reddit used to abandon them when I got tired of them. Past ones include HeebieMcJeeberson, MadJackMcMadd and AmiableBowelSyndrome. This was also a way to keep zeroing my karma so I didn't feel so addicted to reddit. I really like not having a cumulative Lemmy score.

I'm good at navigating places, but GPS has made it a less useful skill.

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.
conspiracy!

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.
Ah shit. I do this and I just assumed my kids were cool with it. Thank you for being the mirror I didn't know I needed.

No completely true. You can win gift cards at bar trivia.
I know this because, in college, I had to take Greek mythology to get an engineering degree. I can honestly say I've never used the Greek mythology knowledge anywhere but bar trivia.
Reminds me of a story of a friend of mine.. She did her undergrad and masters in classics and archaeology. As part of her studies she participated in a summer dig on the island of Cyprus. She spent the summer working on remote archaeological sites in the rural countryside.
Well one day she needed to go into town for something. She goes in to the only store in town, a tiny little grocery store. She finds what she's looking for then goes to check out. Suddenly, with horror, she realizes, "wait, I don't know how to talk to this guy. I can't speak modern Greek."
So she attempts the next best thing. She tries to talk to the shopkeeper...in ancient Greek. She tried to have a random conversation with someone in ancient Greek in modern Cyprus.
The shopkeeper looks at her like she has two heads, pauses for a moment, and says, in English, "lady, no one has talked like that here for two thousand years!"

I think it kind of validates a type of thinking that any decent person would want in a candidate. Capitalists are stupid. They don’t know the first thing about skills and abilities.
They’re the kind of bottom of the barrel dipshits who would dismiss a candidate who is great at spelling just because we have autocorrect, even though that’s a solid brain right there.

I wonder whether I could stump you. The place where I work makes a couple of very niche polymers.
commercially available performance materials
Probably wouldn't do great with super obscure stuff that doesn't make it's way through my workplace but I'd probably do well with the top 25-30 most common generics that probably represent 90%+ of the market
What do yall make?
