I'm on the border of nerd and geek

[-] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

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

[-] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

No no, I am stupid too.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I am a hollow circle around the nerd core.
I don't fit in any category :D

[-] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Imposter syndrome ❤️

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

[-] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

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

[-] steeznson@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago

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.

We’re only nerds if we come out of the Silicon Valley region of California. Otherwise, we are just sparkling geeks.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

🥰 Thank you

[-] trk@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

I'm not smart enough to be a nerd.

[-] Gorgeous_Sloth@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Is this a Futurama reference?

[-] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Not only. There are also some communists and furries.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 30 points 2 days ago

I'm not. College dropout waitress married to an artschool dropout chef.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I don't believe you, you use Lemmy. You are at least somewhat nerd.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago

Ah, but I'm on the anarchist instance.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

So your reasoning that you're not a nerd is that you're an anarchist? I got some bad news for you...

[-] floo@retrolemmy.com 3 points 1 day ago

lol anarchists can be nerds

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I'm on a piracy instance and I dont pirate.

Well, anymore. Should really update my music library instead of streaming it.

we're on a niche open source reddit alternative built by communists, built in rust, with multiple sizable linux communities

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

Good point. We're a bunch of badasses.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 days ago

We're early adopters. By definition: we're nerds.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

I'm not a nerd. Nerds are smart.

[-] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

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

[-] fullsquare@awful.systems 17 points 2 days ago

no, all people here are 30-40 years old communist programmers from california

[-] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Not old, not communist and I am from Canada. I am only sort of a programmer. Only do it as a hobby and my job is only tangentially related to it.

No.

Next question.

[-] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago

Closeted nerd reporting for duty

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

I wanted to be a nerd but I can't even geek. I'm more of a dork.
