    I’m fairly non-nerdy, though I like reading fantasy and scifi.

    But other than that, nope.

    I’m a bona fide alpha male. Imagine Joe Rogan but more buff and with additional BDE. When I talk everyone listens. I was the star of every sports team I’ve been part of. I can lift a motocycle above my head and then ride off into the sunset on it.

    Usually posting fit-pics on insta but I accidentally clicked a link and ended up here.

    I’d say I fit neatly in the Dork category. At least, that’s what my imposter syndrome would have me believe.

      That’s an intelligent analysis of yourself, a supporting evidence that you fit in the nerd category.

        Gemini likes to tell me that I’m good in the emotional intelligence area. Haha.

    Who else does research on obscure social media platforms because they are fed up with mainstream surveillance capitalism social media.

    Edit: If to be a nerd is to have a strong interest in something particular then everyone should be a nerd because having interests is awesome.

    Everyone is a nerd about something. That’s how interests work in general: you only ever get called a nerd for being interested in something that others aren’t interested in, but they’re also interested in stuff you’re not interested in, so…

    I don’t read enough to consider myself a nerd; I’m kind of ignorant. But… I do like nerd topics.

    I’m writing a book on adaptations. I wouldn’t consider myself a nerd, but writing a book about adapting works from one medium to another is very nerdy.

    No, I’m cool. I do a good bit of nerdy/antisocial stuff but I’m actually a certified chiller

      not rage bait, genuinely asking because thus far i’ve only heard of other “computer nerds” using Lemmy in any capacity.
