For me it's probably speech therapy and everything pertaining to that. I'm yet to encounter someone on here who is one apart from me (in training).

What about you?

Guns for sure. I'm a very amateur gunsmith and love ordering crappy used guns online and fixing them up. Stretches the limits of my mechanical, restoration and craft abilities.

IT security in general. I have a very broad knowledge and am specifically knowledgeable in a few of the specialty fields. Have been doing nothing else for 15 years. Linux about 20 years. Been a dad of three for about 10 years now.

Cell Biology and molecularbiology (but i didn't finish my degree), PC Games (i've been playing PC Games since the late 80's), Piracy(see the answer before lol) and PC building (I've never bought a pc as a whole in my whole life except Laptops). Probably 56k Modems too, since i worked in costumer support for multiple ISPs - i still remember a lot of init strings for those and for different manufacturers, which is completely useless today lol

I don't think the average lemming scuba dives as there's a pretty small scuba community here.

I'm starting to feel a bit confident in my lotr knowledge these days, but I'm well aware I'm no scholar on the topic.

Mine are sheet metal manufacturing, insurance agency commissions, and power query.

There's a lot of history nerds here, but I still probably know more about classical latin than most, though I've given up on that now. I had Roman literature as my major in university, before I got seriously ill and was forced to quit my life

Graded Modal Dependent Type Theory, but that's mostly because only "dozens of" people know it exists.

I have above average knowledge in a lot of areas due to browsing Wikipedia a lot.

I know more pure maths than most people in the world so there's that too.

Video game programming, because I've been doing that for more than 20 years.
