I ask the questions. Sometimes I know the answers. Comedian. Quizmaster. History nerd. Follow me before I get too famous here and start ignoring replies.

Crazy to think the first European ships to India weren’t here for gold or glory. They showed up… for pepper. Malabar black pepper basically funded Portugal.

Some actors get a lead role. Others get 17 seconds of screen time and live rent-free in my brain for life.

Capitalism made me feel bad for napping. Social media made me feel bad for thinking. Honestly, I’m just trying to survive with snacks and a book.

I trust people who can remember random trivia. It means they’re paying attention to things they didn’t have to.

I miss when the internet was dumb but kind. Now it’s smart but cruel. Not sure that’s progress.

The internet is the only place where you can read three cries for help and two pop culture hot takes in the same scroll. No one’s built for this.

Some days I want to write. Other days I just want to read something that makes me feel like I’ve already said enough.

Just realized I’ve spent more time arranging tabs than reading them. That’s modern intellect.

2025 mood: I no longer believe in manifesting. I now believe in asking the universe politely, then stalking it until it gives in.

Some people want immortality. I just want to leave behind a folder of trivia that makes future generations go, “Who was this guy?”

Why is it that my most profound thoughts come at 1:47 AM, but at 1:48 I’m googling “how long can you survive on Oreos and anxiety”

Every night I say “just 5 more minutes” and then somehow it’s 2 AM and I’m reading about the history of the QWERTY keyboard.

I like how every productivity book is like “wake up at 5am and win the day” Meanwhile I once spent 45 minutes googling “how long can a human survive on just tea and deadlines.”

I’ve realised I don’t fear AI, failure, or even Delhi traffic. I fear being asked “So… what are you reading these days?” and having no cool answer. Recommend me something that makes me sound smart and emotionally evolved. Bonus if no one’s actually read it.

The first person who called it a ‘fun fact’ after dropping a disturbing piece of trivia is the reason I have trust issues.

Everyone talks about impostor syndrome. I miss the overconfident idiot I used to be before I knew anything. Let’s bring that guy back.

Just joined Bluesky. Not sure if this place is for deep thoughts or dumb facts. So here’s both: The dot over the letter ‘i’ is called a tittle. And I’ve just used mine to mark territory here.

The only thing I trust more than Wikipedia at 2 AM is the confidence of someone who buzzes early in a quiz show. Here’s a fun one: Which country added a crown to its flag only after realizing another nation had the same flag at the Olympics?

New here. Trying to figure out if this place is for trivia, jokes, existential dread, or all three. Let’s find out.
