I’d pick J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth, no hesitation
The science of how color is reproduced via display technology, including colorimetry, photometry, and signal processing
“When we reached SuperTwist monochrome passive matrix LCD’s we thought we’d reached the peak for universal display technology; great contrast, cheap to manufacture, and low power.”
Peak universal display tech and monochrome?? Who said this?
Story telling I’d ask them to improvise or use known stories to give me examples, I now have stories for a lifetime
I’d listen to the Verizon commercial guy explain how if he can hear me now, that it’s good. A simple subject, a search for truth. Is it good to always be able to hear someone? I don’t know, yet. This is the kind of Hell I can get behind, just me and that sorry son of a bitch. Decades, millennia—CAn yOu HeaR Me nOW?

Medicine
Any particular areas of medicine?
Also I haven’t been promoting the communities well enough but we’ve got some on Lemmy that could use more activity. I was planning to get them going more in the new year
!medicine@mander.xyz for r/medicine
!medicine@lemmy.world for the hub to other stuff
- !health@lemmy.world isn’t listed there yet but will be soon
Right now I’m a big nerd for infectious disease but tbh that changes every other three months. :)
Animal behavior. I never get bored learning about biology and specifically, all the interesting behaviors that animals have learned to reach their goals. Like elaborate mating dances, or long distance communication of whales.
The roman empire.
Clearly.
The only correct answer. As much of the discussion should also be in Latin.
Now you lost me.
Unless trebuchet is Latin…
Ethics. It touches on every other subject.
Trains.
My kid is a train kid, I’m already listening to it non-stop, I won’t make things worse for me or him.
Hello fellow parent. I feel your anguish. I have star wars and dinosaurs. Tbh I’m not even mad, most of the times… I’d just need some more time in the morning before the uninterrupted stream of words!
Exactly. He’s turning into a Lego kid, but uh, did you know that Lego has trains? (They recently put out a gorgeous Oriental Express train that even I want now.). My biggest gripe about trains is they take up so so so much space.
I am excited for his teenage years for when he wants to sleep in and I get to wake him up.
But today is Christmas, and if you celebrate, Merry Christmas. (Mine is waking now, and it’s 430 am, time to stall him for 2 hours, as my daily gift to momma)

Don’t you put that evil on me. That sounds like a decent approximation of hell.
Yeah, I’d rather be deaf.
One subject I could manage (psychology/AI if it has to be nonfiction or mysteries if fiction counts), but not one voice.
Music
Sam Harris about moral philosophy.
I find his reasoning to be incredibly logical and easy to follow. On top of that he has a really pleasant voice.
Astrophysics/cosmology. I’m more artsy geek than STEM geek, but there is a tremendous amount of beauty found in what we know and don’t know about the universe.
Warhammer. There is so much lore and battle reports out there you could fill your life.
Also I am being cheeky by not specifying Fantasy or 40K so I get both.
