I will die on the hill that I will always explain things I just learned 5 minutes ago like I'm the foremost expert on the subject, to the person who is the foremost expert on the subject. It lets me pretend I actually know anything useful. I also love hearing things explained to me repeatedly, because I will probably forget those things by the time I hear them again, even if they're the most interesting things in the world to me. I have to Google things constantly to remind myself how to do anything useful any more. I also don't get jokes. Don't feign ignorance on a subject you don't want me to explain at great length like you were born yesterday. And even if you told me that you've been around the world for as long as I have, I'll probably forget that in the span it takes me to write this sentence. I only have room in my life for that kind of knowledge on like the 2 people I live with and the one I spend video calls with every day. And for future reference, I should probably restrict my personal interaction to just those three people, for the good of the rest of society. Lord knows, I have enough trouble having a meltdown like this every few weeks.
