Too specific. Needed at least a quick refresher on all ocean life first. Gotta let them get warmed up before you hit them with the good stuff.
It’s like this idiot had never heard of foreplay
Yeah you gotta leave them wanting more. If you give up the coelacanth on the first date, he doesn’t have a reason to come back for a second date.
Pardon, but did you just refer to our @Stamets@lemmy.world as an idiot?
…
Yes. Yes and report me, this would be the funniest ban I’ve ever gotten.
Well get ready to start laughing…
I do want to clarify, I did not request this and the only way I saw this was via that screenshot. I am so sorry lol
(It should be undone by the way)
You fucking snitch
Stuff it, adulterer.
I was only following orders [my own]
And proud of it <3
The cunt that reported me should be drawn and quartered.
Well you’d be the expert on the best punishment for that cunt for sure
Once you hit’em with the “coelacanth is closer related to us than gold fish” gambit, which leads to the “what is fish” manoeuvre, and finish them with a “whales are fish and birds are reptiles” pincer attack, they’re as good as gone.
Wait.
Hank Green has helped me see the light. Whales are fish! Whales are fish!!!
There’s no such thing as a fish.
Harkin, is that you?
Shhh.
So she’s knowledgeable and passionate about something and can hold a conversation instead of making the other person do all the work?
And he ghosted her???
Exactly my thoughts. Not just knowing a lot about something but also being willing to talk about it. So many people with actual interesting shit to say keep it to themselves until several interactions in. Like Yeats said
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”Was it a conversation or a knowledge dump without a lot of interaction?
I like the other person to show a little bit of interest in me, but that’s just me. I could be wrong.
Hey if the dude never contributed to the conversation, that’s on him. You gotta ask the nerd questions so you can get MORE information
sometimes you just want to enjoy the film, without all the needless marvel backstory to “enhance” it
He* 🤦🏼♂️
She. Her name is Casey Zinkiezich. Shes the OP, she goes by She/Her as indicated by her social media.
Huh
No, OP and OOP are I’m pretty sure different people.
To the extent there is such a thing.
Me: Rambling about some esoteric topic that has no practical application to any part of my life.
My Wife: Listening intently even though she has no clue what I’m talking about.
I usually realize how long I’ve been going on when she starts smiling because she “thinks it’s cute.”
I don’t often feel like I’ve won the jackpot, but I sure did with this lady.
I also choose this guy’s alive wife.
A keeper for sure. Just be sure to respond in kind.
I would probably fall in love if I got to hear a 30 minute, passionate info dump on a date.
Definitely. I’d totally fall in love. With coelacanths
I coelacant live without you babes
This is how my wife courted me, except with René Magritte instead of coelacanths.
You may be entitled to seek compensation.
Why, did someone take an apple to the face?
I would love to meet someone who had so much enthusiasm for a topic that they want to teach me about it. I may not always understand, but I would listen to her all night long.
This is me. Im in this meme. I love coelacanths and fish.
Their lose. Nothing sexier than someone being passionate about their interests. I’ll listen to someone tell me about their collection of severed heads if they’ve got passion for it
Same, passion is sexy
“aren’t you going to open your present?”
“If it’s a severed head I’m going to be seriously upset.”
I mean, if it’s a sufficiently cool severed head…
That was a Wayne’s world reference.
Coelacanth facts are hot. But you’d best be prepared for an equal measure of trilobite facts.
Best I can offer is four hours of railway trivia with the occasional rant on whatever specific subject my stream of trivia happens to hit upon
what’s a coelecanth?
Understandable, I only know what they are from Animal Crossing.
It’s a fish you can only catch while it’s raining.
Based on the replies you’ve gotten so far I suspect this may be a joke I’m not getting, but I’m choosing to react as if it’s a genuine question anyway.
A coelacanth is a super old fish that everyone thought was extinct, and then one day we just happened to find them alive! They’re a “living fossil” animal in that they haven’t changed much in a very long time and give us a window into the past. Here’s a picture I stole:
Too many fins. Don’t like it because it didn’t evolve into something on land. Selfish jerks.
oof, I can feel the secondhand embarassment
it’s the single hole used for both shitting and sexual reproduction
Cloaca*
Calling a mere 30 minutes “extensive” is a wild take. 2.5 hours into googology and I haven’t even started talking about Rayo’s number, tetration, or up-arrow notation yet.
What about TREE(3) though?
lol I’d thought about adding it, don’t know why I didn’t. BB-n too, I reckon. Good thing you brought it up!
Kruskal’s Theorem:
you wish I was joking…
honestly, neurodiverse people shouldn’t date neurotypicals.
neurotypicals are too weird.
It’s true. They think we’re boring, we think they’re boring. I remember dating a definitely NT person and was baffled that they never wanted to do deep dives on any topics with me.
Who wouldn’t want to spend all weekend with their partner learning about the history of weaving and how various textile related machinery works, then cap it off by marathon playing Loom in robes?! Weirdos.
my NT ex said that me talking about my interest is abuse, yet she has no trouble abusing me till suicide.
If I may be blunt, I don’t think that’s because your ex is NT. It sounds like your ex is just an abusive asshole. I’m sorry you had to deal with their abuse.
honestly, I’m sorry for traumadumping, took some gummies and I’m not really me.
from now on I’ll aim to date neurodiverse people instead, we are more fun anyways.

I can offer little better advice. Similarly, find someone whose baggage complements yours, so you can have a matching set.
I looked everywhere in my house, couldn’t find anyone, not even under the couch
No apology necessary, I didn’t even think of it as trauma dumping. Sometimes things just come up and I think that’s okay.
Enjoy your gummies!
Idk if I’m ND or not because I can’t just info dump for 30 min. I’m just a boring guy that has a lot of interests but not enough knowledge in one specific subject about anything, I need some back and forth to keep conversation alive.
This is why I can’t date people who talk too much. They go on a 20 minute monologue and after I try several times to add input, and then they keep going, I get frustrated that I couldn’t say anything, and now the topic is changing so I’ll come off looking like I wasn’t listening to the whole thing so now I’m falling behind on what they’re talking, I catch up and find something relevant to say if they ever stop talking, but they don’t, so I lose interest and start thinking about something else. But after my train of thought hits a few stops and they’re still fucking talking and then I’m internally screaming at them to SHUT THE FUCK UP! And I Invision either my sudden brutal death or theirs.
When we were still getting to know each other my now girlfriend “confessed” that she suspected to be autistic (she definitely is).
All of a sudden I understood why we clicked to quickly.
Happy for you.
Excuse me, neurotypicals aren’t weird enough. Normal is boring.
mary me mommy
If this happened to me I’d probably propose right there on the spot.
