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?

I’m dumber than everyone here.
Wrong, I’m better than you at dummery
Bad day to be into computers
I once installed linux…
We live in a tiny house in the forest.
my niche would probably be blue jay, chipmunk,and squirrel, behaviour. I spend a lot of time with a lot of forest animals. But those three consume about 80% of that time.
Maxfield Parrish’s use of color theory and it’s application in his glazed paintings made using most often (esp. for commercial works made for print) cyan, magenta, hansa yellow and lamp black pigments in a translucent medium.
:O I’d follow you into battle.
That’s really specific
Thata specific enough for you to be the best with no goddamn doubts in anyone’s mind.
If you ever get a chance to see any of his works in a gallery or museum… do it! The colors glow like nothing you’ve seen.
When I was little, I had an aunt that had one of the prints called Ecstasy - from 1929 - in her home.
Faded and of course stained (even though it was under glass) from the chain smoking she did.
It was one of her most cherished things, so I learned everything she knew about Parrish - she had an encyclopedic book on his technique which I read from cover to cover and as I got older, I tried my hand at glazing - a fierce technique of layering transparent and translucent color onto panel or canvas.
Each color separated by a clear coat so you look into the image, like stained glass, layers deep.
Years later, there was a comprehensive show of his pieces that came to the Currier Museum in New Hampshire (early 90’s IIRC) and I got tickets for myself and auntie…
I got to his most famous image - Daybreak - and the colors in it are beyond anything that any online photos show.
Not even the NY Lithographic Society that initially had rights to the image come close.
Pinks and magentas in the trees that frame the image that take your breath away. I stood in front of that painting for a good 15 minutes and have the colors burned into my mind.
At some point, if I can find a good enough high-res copy, I’m going to try my hand at doing a CMYK color separation of the image (with Photoshop or GIMP) and readjust to what it actually looks like. No one’s gotten it right. I’ve always been a bit of a colorist and zoom in on tint, tone and shade, so this challenge is one that hits my artistic monkeybone, big time.
I won’t even get into the landscapes of the New Hampshire winters and the evening light he recreated in those images. You can fall into them.
Definitely, again, if you ever get a chance to see a real Parrish… do it. It’s absolute magic.
vaginas for sure

My very specific niche in programming.
If you ask me about some very common things, I have no clue. JavaScript? More like JavaShit amirite? But if someone can explain OCI layers, describe the boot process of a RISC-V device as it leads U-boot and a Linux kernel, and talk about performance optimisations in modern Python… Well, my team is looking for more developers and this combination of skills seems impossible to find.
I’m very sure I know more about flying an airplane than the average Lemming. I have been a pilot for 20 years and an instructor for 15. I’m not the only pilot on Lemmy but there’s not a lot of aviators among us.
Historical sword-making, modern metallurgy, practical stats and experimental design. How to structure a business in a not-dumb way that treats employees as people.
Um probably most people here know more about their work subject than the average Lemmy user
For me it’s beekeeping and honey processing
PS my other half did her degrees in speech/language therapy and psychology
How is “average lemmy user” defined? I probably know more about eg. tea than the typical/median user. But there may be a true tea expert here that pushes the average up by a lot.
How to know when stats is taking over your life ☝️
Considering the general conversations that are posted and popular here I expect I know more about Europe in general and some countries in it in particular that the average Lemmy user.
I’ve not seen anything about 3d printing getting traction here nor snowboarding so I’ll add those two to the list.
I most probably don’t know more about Linux than the average user here.
Ship systems such as radios, echosounders, transponders, etc. (AMA, I guess, if you so wish)
favorite obscure ship system?

Sound design, mixing, and mastering audio.
Please prove me wrong, I’m so lonely.
How about mixing and mastering on tape? 👀
I hate working in the box
Never had the opportunity, but I love me some nice, warm, tape saturation
