look i’m not saying trivia night itself is bad.
it’s fine. it’s fine the way brunch is fine.
the way escape rooms are fine.
i just think if you build your personality around being slightly better than people at remembering which state has the most lighthouses, you should have to register that somewhere. like a wristband. or a warning label. “caution: will interrupt conversation to tell you what year reebok was founded.”
trivia night guys are never just chill about it.
they treat it like the olympics. they’ve got notebooks. they’ve got strategies. they’ll casually say stuff like “i’ve been studying flags lately” and you’re just supposed to go okay yeah cool that’s a normal adult thing to say out loud in a bar. bro i am barely holding it together with basic hygiene and this man is categorizing airports by runway length.
